摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a solid procatalyst composition for a catalyst system intended for the polymerization of olefins, wherein a magnesium halide, such as magnesium chloride, is dissolved and/or slurried in a mono- carboxylic acid alkyl ester, such as ethyl acetate, is impregnated into a support material, dried, treated with an organometallic compound or a silicon compound and thereafter with a transition metal compound. The invention also relates to such a procatal- yst composition and its use together with a cocatalyst for the polymerizatio n of olefins. According to the invention it has been possible to increase the activity of the catalyst composition by using a silanated support material, such as silanated silica, which is then treated with an organometallic or silicon compound before treatment wit h a transition metal compound. The silanated silica is preferably a silicon dioxide which has been heat-treated at 100-200 .degree.C and thereafter treated with hexamethyldisilazane and contains carbon 3-6 %. The organometallic compound is preferably an aluminum alkyl compound, such as triethylaluminum, and the transition metal compound is preferably titanium tetrachloride.
