Abstract

Support for catalysts, containing at least two constituents chosen from silica, alumina and aluminium phosphate, having a specific surface of 100 to 800 m.sup.2 /g, a crystallization temperature greater than or equal to 700.degree. C. and a pore volume of 1.5 to 4 cm.sup.3 /g, the specific surface (SS) and the pore volume (PV) corresponding to the relationship: EQU SS<(PV.times.564-358). Process for the manufacture of such a support, according to which an alcohol, water, a silicon alkoxide and an acid are mixed under conditions such that gelling or precipitation of silica is prevented, an acidic solution of an aluminium compound and/or a solution of a source of phosphate ions are added thereto, a gelling agent is added thereto, a gel is recovered which is washed with water and then by means of an organic liquid, the gel is then dried until a powder is obtained, and the powder is calcined. Polymerization of olefins in the presence of a catalyst containing chromium on a support as described above.
