Catalyst system for olefin polymerization, its production and use
View Patent ↗Process for producing a catalyst system, which comprises the following steps: A) provision of a mixture of at least two different organic transition metal compounds, at least one hydrolyzed organoaluminum compound and a solvent and impregnation of a dry porous support component with the mixture from step A), with the total volume of the mixture being from 0.6 to 1.5 times the total pore volume of the support component, and also catalyst systems obtainable in this way and their use for olefin polymerization.
1. A process for producing a catalyst system, comprising:
(a) mixing at least two different organic transition metal compounds, at least one hydrolyzed organoaluminum compound, and a solvent to form a liquid mixture; and
(b) impregnating a dry porous support component with the liquid mixture;
wherein the volume of the liquid mixture is from 0.6 to 1.5 times the pore volume of the support component.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein the support is silica or calcined hydrotalcite.
3. The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrolyzed organoaluminum compound is an aluminoxane.
4. The process of claim 1 wherein the support component is modified by the hydrolyzed aluminum compound before being brought into contact with the liquid mixture.
5. A catalyst system, useful for polymerizing olefins, which comprises at least two different organic transition metal compounds, at least one hydrolyzed organoaluminum compound, and a dry porous support component, wherein the catalyst system has an angle of repose, determined in accordance with ISO 4324, of not more than 48 degrees.
6. A process which comprises polymerizing at least one olefin in the presence of the catalyst system of claim 5 .
7. The process of claim 6 wherein the olefin is ethylene or a mixture comprising at least 50 mole % of ethylene and at least one C 3 -C 12 1-alkene.
