<p>1411616 Olefin polymerization catalysts SOC ITALIANA RESINE SIR SpA 17 Nov 1972 [27 Dec 1971] 53342/72 Heading C3P A catalyst for the polymerization of ethylene alone or copolymerization of ethylene withα- olefins is prepared by contacting an organometallic compound AlR 3 , AlR 2 X or ZnR 2 where R is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group and X is halogen with the product obtained by impregnating in the absence of solvent a solid granular support, which is an activated sulphite of Ca, Mn, Mg or Zn, with a liquid halogenated derivative of a transition metal at a temperature of 50‹ to 160‹ C. for not less than 30 minutes the sulphite having been produced by (a) dissolving or suspending in water a Ca, Mg, Mn or Zn oxide, hydroxide or salt of an organic or inorganic acid with a pK of first acid dissociation exceeding 1.8 in a quantity of at least 5% by weight based on the weight of water (b) bubbling through the resultant solution or suspension having a temperature of 20‹ to 60‹ C., SO 2 in a quantity exceeding by 50 % at least that stoichiometrically necessary to transform the oxide, hydroxide or salt to a sulphite, (c) separating solid residues from the solution or suspension, (d) slowly eliminating unreacted SO 2 by slow agitation and by gradually lowering the pressure above the solution to a pressure corresponding to the vapour pressure of the solution at the elimination temperature which is substantially the same as used in (b) over a period of not less than 1 hour so as to precipitate a hydrated sulphite of Ca, Mg, Mn or Zn, (e) separating the precipitate from the liquid phase, washing it with a polar organic solvent and drying it at 20‹ C. at below atmospheric pressure for not less than 1 hour and (e) activating the sulphite at 350‹ to 750‹ C. for 3 to 25 hours in a flow of inert gas; the organometallic compound being in molar excess with respect to the transition metal on the support in the contacting step. The transition metal derivative may be TiCl 4 or VOCl 3 . In the examples magnesium hydroxide is converted to magnesium sulphite hexahydrate, which is activated at 400‹ C., granulated, impregnated with TiCl 4 and the product is used with AlEt 3 to continuously polymerize ethylene in heptane in the presence of hydrogen or to copolymerize ethylene with propylene or butene-1 in heptane.</p> |
