Abstract:
A Prepolymerized catalyst component for the polymerization of olefins comprising a solid catalyst component which comprises Mg, Ti, and chlorine atoms and an electron donor (ID) said prepolymerized catalyst component being characterized by the fact that: - the electron donor (ID) is constituted by at least 80%mol of 1,3 diethers with respect to the total molar amount of electron donor compounds; -the prepolymerized catalyst has a porosity due to pores with diameters up to Ιμιη of less than 0.2 cm3/g; -it contains an amount of ethylene prepolymer of less than 45% with respect to the total weight of prepolymerized catalyst.
Abstract:
A gas-phase process for the homopolymerization or copolymerization of propylene with other olefins, including carrying out the polymerization in the presence of a catalyst system made from or containing: (a) a solid catalyst component made from or containing Mg, Ti, halogen, an electron donor selected from 1.3-diethers and an olefin polymer in a specific amount; (b) an aluminum alkyl compound and (c) an external electron donor (ED) compound, wherein components (b) and (c) being employed in amounts such that the Al/(ED) molar ratio ranges from about 2 to about 200.
