Abstract
A component of a polymerization catalyst is prepared by reacting an organo-magnesium compound, or a complex with an organo-aluminium compound, with a solid, inorganic oxide, then with a halogenating agent such as silicon tetrachloride or hydrogen chloride, and then reacting the product with a Lewis Base compound, particularly an ester and finally with titanium tetrachloride. The product obtained is combined with an organo-aluminium compound, preferably together with a Lewis Base, and used to polymerize an olefin monomer particularly propylene or mixtures of ethylene and a 1-olefin containing at least 4 carbon atoms. The catalyst system has a high activity, is stereospecific and has a lower proportion of halogen than some other catalyst systems.
