    Abstract: Propylene/ethylene block copolymers are prepared by a process in which, in an agitated bed comprising small polymer particles, first (I) propylene is homopolymerized from the gas phase, in a first polymerization zone, by feeding in a Ziegler-Natta catalyst comprising (1) a titanium(III) component and (2) a dialkyl-aluminum chloride component, with or without (3) a further catalyst component, and then (II) the product obtained in the first polymerization zone is fed into a second polymerization zone, where a mixture of propylene and ethylene is polymerized with the propylene homopolymer present in this product. In this process, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst employed contains a titanium(III) component (1) which is prepared by subjecting (1.1) a titanium-containing compound (a) of the formula TiCl3. nAlCl3 and (1.2) an electron donor (b), consisting of (b1) an ester of a particular class or (b2) a phosphorus-containing compound of a particular class, to a special milling procedure, the particular features of which are special metering and temperature conditions, suspending the resulting intermediate in a mixture of a liquid hydrocarbon (c) and an oxygen-containing compound (d), comprising (d1) an ether of a certain class and/or (d2) an ester of a certain class, and then heating the suspension obtained. The solid remaining in suspension is the titanium(III) component (1) which is to be employed for the polymerization. The polymer obtained has improved morphological properties.

    Abstract: A process for the preparation of homopolymers and copolymers of alpha -monoolefins by means of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system comprising (1) a titanium-III component, which is prepared by subjecting (1.1) a titanium trichloride/aluminum trichloride compound (a) and (1.2) an ester (b) to a certain type of milling treatment in which (A) a vibratory ball mill providing a relatively high milling acceleration is used, (B) the mill is first charged with the titanium-containing compound (a) and, if appropriate, is run for a certain period, thereafter (C) the ester (b) is added at a certain rate while milling the charge, thereupon (D) the charge is kept at +15 DEG C. or above for a certain period, while continuing the milling, hereupon (E), if appropriate, the product obtained from (D) is milled further for a certain period at +5 DEG C. or below, then (F), if appropriate, but advantageously so, the product obtained from (D) or (E) is kept at +20 DEG C. or above for a certain period, without milling, and thereafter (G), if appropriate, the product obtained from (F) is milled further for a certain period at +5 DEG C. or below, (2) an aluminum-alkyl component containing a chlorine bonded to the aluminum, and (3), if appropriate, a phenolic compound of a certain category, in which process a titanium-III component (1) is employed, in the preparation of which additionally -(H) a suspension is prepared from (H1) the product obtained according to (D), (E), (F) or (G), (H2) a liquid hydrocarbon (c) and (H3) an oxygen-containing compound (d), consisting of (d1) an ether of a certain category and/or (d2) an ester of a certain category, thereafter (I) the suspension obtained according to (H) is kept at an elevated temperature for a certain period, with vigorous agitation, and is then cooled, hereupon (J), if appropriate, the solid is isolated from the suspension obtained according to (I), and, if desired, is washed with a liquid hydrocarbon and dried, the novel titanium-III component (1) being the solid, in suspended form, obtained according to (I) or the solid, in isolated form, obtained according to (J). Using this Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, polymers with relatively high stereo-regularity and advantageous morphological properties can be obtained in relatively high yield.
