A supported alpha-olefin polymerization catalyst composition of this invention of improved activity as measured by productivity is prepared in a multi-step process. An ethylene homopolymerization or ethylene copolymerization catalyst is formed by: (i) providing a slurry of a solid porous inorganic support having reactive hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a non-polar solvent; (ii) impregnating said support having -OH groups, with RMgR' compound, to form an intermediate, which intermediate has an -OH group:Mg ratio of less than 1, wherein each of said R and R' is alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms and is the same or different; (iii) treating the intermediate with TiC14 to form a titanium containing intermediate which has an -OH group:Ti ratio of less than 1; (iv) reacting the titanium containing intermediate with an amount of oxygen containing electron donor containing 1 to 15 carbon atoms, combining the electron donor treated titanium containing intermediate with triethylaluminum to form the catalyst. The catalyst also produces polymers having relatively intermediate molecular weight distribution. |
