Patent number: 4632912Abstract: Ziegler-Natta catalysts which are polymer supported compounds or complexes of elements of the d-block transition metals, lanthanide or actinide series are disclosed. An example of the polymer support is chloromethylated polystyrene-divinyl benzene copolymer covalently bonded to catechol. An example of the compound or complex of an element of the transition metal, lanthanide or actinide series is that which results when catechol which is covalently bonded to the polymer is contacted with titanium tetraisopropoxide. These catalysts are useful in preparing polymers with reduced halide content which reduces corrosion in polymer processing equipment.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1985Date of Patent: December 30, 1986Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Stephen A. Bedell, William R. Howell, Jr., William M. Coleman, III

Patent number: 4629771Abstract: A suspension which comprises an inert liquid medium, a solid material, a transition metal compound and an agglomeration aid is dried using a spray-drying technique. The spray-drying is effected under conditions of temperature and pressure which are such as to cause evaporation of the liquid medium. The solid material is preferably in a finely-divided form and may consist essentially of a transition metal compound or may be a transition metal compound which is supported on a suitable solid inert matrix material. Alternatively, a suspension of a solid support material in a solution of a transition metal compound may be used. The agglomeration aid may be polystyrene dissolved in the inert liquid medium. The dried solid is obtained as an agglomerated solid which can be mixed with an organic compound of a non-transition metal to give an olefin polymerization catalyst system.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1983Date of Patent: December 16, 1986Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries, plcInventors: John P. Candlin, Anthony D. Caunt, John W. Kelland, Peter L. Law

Patent number: 4603184Abstract: A process for producing .alpha.-olefin polymers is proposed wherein the catalyst prepared and used therein is superior in the shelf stability and heat stability. The process comprises reacting TiCl.sub.4 with a reaction product (I) of an organoaluminum compound with an electron donor to obtain a solid product (II), which is then subjected to polymerization treatment with an .alpha.-olefin, and further reacted with an electron donor and an electron acceptor to obtain a solid product (III), which is then combined with an organoaluminum compound, to obtain a catalyst, in the presence of which .alpha.-olefin(s) are polymerized.
