A catalyst for polymerizing one or more 1-olefins and prepared by the process of (1) forming an initial mixture of a finely divided support such as silica and a chromium+3 compound of either of the formulas <IMAGE> or Cr(OOCR)3 or a mixture in an amount to provide about 0.1-30 weight percent of chromium in the finished catalyst and in which each R is individually selected from hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group of 1-20 carbon atoms and the necessary hydrogen atoms, followed by (2) heating the mixture of (1) in a stream of dry, inert, and non-oxidizing gas and heating to a temperature of about 230 DEG -540 DEG C., and then (3) forming a second combination by adding a titanium compound to the product of (2) at a temperature ranging from 95 DEG -370 DEG C., and then (4) activating the mixture of (3) by heating in a dry, oxidizing atmosphere such as dry air to a temperature of about 370 DEG -1100 DEG C. The disclosure also includes a method of preparing such a catalyst and the method of polymerizing at least one 1-olefin with said catalyst.
