Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a solid procatalyst composition for a catalyst system intended for the polymerization of olefins, wherein a magnesium halide, such as magnesium chloride, is dissolved and/or slurried in a mono-carboxylic acid alkyl ester, such as ethyl acetate, is impregnated into a support material, dried, treated with an organometallic compound or a silicon compound and thereafter with a transition metal compound. The invention also relates to such a procatalyst composition and its use together with a cocatalyst for the polymerization of olefins. According to the invention it has been possible to increase the activity of the catalyst composition by using a silanated support material, such as silanated silica, which is then treated with an organometallic or silicon compound before treatment with a transition metal compound. The silanated silica is preferably a silicon dioxide which has been heat-treated at 1000.degree.-200.degree. and thereafter treated with hexamethyldisilazane and contains 3-6% carbon. The organometallic compound is preferably an aluminum alkyl compound, such as triethylaluminum, and the transition metal compound is prefer…
