Abstract

A method for the polymerization or copolymerization of .alpha.-olefin wherein .alpha.-olefin is polymerized or copolymerized in the presence of a catalyst essentially comprising a reformed titanium trichloride and an organoaluminum compound. The reformed titanium trichloride is prepared by simultaneously pulverizing an organoaluminum compound and a crystalline titanium trichloride compound, the latter comprising titanium trichloride and aluminum trichloride, treating the pulverized mixture with a solvent selected from aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbon halides and organic ethers, separating the treated material from the solvent, and heating the separated material.
