SUPPORTED CATALYST FOR THE (CO)POLYMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE

摘要

SUPPORTED CATALYST FOR THE (CO)POLYMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE A solid component of catalyst for the (co)polymerization of ethylene is composed of a silica support and of a catalytically active part containing titanium, magnesium, chlorine and alkoxy groups, and is obtained by: (1) activating a silica support by contact with a solution of magnesium dialkyl, or magnesium alkyl chloride, in a liquid, aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent; (ii) impregnating the activated silica with a solution, in a liquid aliphatic or aromatic ester, of titanium tetrachloride and tetra-alkoxide in equimolecular or almost equimolecular quantities, and magnesium chloride; and (iii) treating the solid obtained in step (ii) with a proportioned quantity of aluminium alkyl sesquichloride.
