A process for producing a chromium-based catalyst for the production of polyethylene, the process comprising the steps of providing a catalyst support selected from silica, silica-titania and silica-zirconia; reacting the support with one of an aluminium alkyl compound or a chromium salt compound selected from at least one of chromium (III) acetylacetonate, chromium (III) acetate, chromium (III) oxalate and chromium (III) stearate; and thereafter reacting the support with the other of the aluminium alkyl compound or the chromium salt to produce a chromium-impregnated catalyst having a silica-alumina support, the catalyst composition comprising from 0.4 to 1.5 wt% chromium, based on the weight of the chromium-based catalyst and the alumina in the silica-containing support comprising from 0.5 to 4 wt% aluminium in the chromium-based catalyst.
