High pore volume, high purity alumina gels containing a chromium catalyst

摘要

Novel high pore volume, high purity alumina gels and catalysts prepared therefrom are provided by a unique alumina gel preparation comprising hydrolyzing an aluminum alcoholate in a medium of a mixture of water and acetone aging the resultant product and thereafter washing with acetone. Processes for the polymerization of olefins utilizing the afore-described alumina gels are also included herein.
