Abstract:
A novel catalytic system for polymerizing olefins comprises:
a) a cocatalytic component containing an organometallic compound of Groups I-III of the periodic table, and b) a catalytic component containing titanium obtained by: (i) copulverising a substantially anhydrous magnesium compound containing halogen or manganese compound containing halogen with: a phenol, an organic polymer containing silicon, a titanium halide and an electron-donor compound to produce a copulverized product, and (ii) reacting the copulverized product with a liquid titanium compound containing halogen.
The invention also encompasses the novel catalytic component, processes for preparing the catalytic component containing titanium, and the use of the novel catalytic system for polymerizing olefins.

Abstract:
@ Isotactic index improvement is achieved for C 3 and higher alpha olefins in systems containing a catalyst component comprising titanium supported on a magnesium halide support. The titanium component is formed by copulverizing the magnesium halide with one or more eletron donor followed by treatment with liquid titanium halide. The improvement is achieved by using a dialkylaluminum monohalide component with the trialkylaluminum cocatalyst normally used. In non- slurry polymerizatins improvements in both activity and isotactic index have been achieved. In slurry polymerizations, the isotactic index of the polymer has been improved. It is possible to achieve a variable melt flow index for polypropylene while maintaining good isotactic index. Isotactic index is retained at high levels even though the temperature and/or time of polymerization is varied.
