Abstract

The present invention relates to a continuous process for the polymerization of an alpha-olefin having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, which is carried out in a gas phase polymerization reactor by bringing a gaseous reaction mixture, containing the alpha-olefin to be polymerized, into contact with a catalyst system of the Ziegler-Natta type consisting of a solid catalyst comprising at least one compound of a transition metal belonging to groups IV, V or VI of the Periodic Table, of the elements, and of a cocatalyst comprising at least one organometallic compound of a metal belonging to groups II or III of the Periodic Table in which the polymerization reactor is fed with alpha-olefin at a constant rate.
