Abstract

PURPOSE:To copolymerize ethylene with an alpha-olefin easily and inexpensively in high activity, by using a catalyst comprising a composition obtained by copulverizing a Mg halide with a liquid organic compound and contacting the product with a Ti compound, etc., and an organometallic compound. CONSTITUTION:A catalyst component (A) is obtained by washing with, e.g., n-hexane a composition obtained by copulverizing 100pts.wt. magnesium halide (a) (e.g., MgCl2) with 0.1-70pts.wt. liquid organic compound (b) having no electron-donating group [e.g., (un)saturated hydrocarbon] at 0-100 deg.C for 1-100hr and contacting the product with a Ti and/or V compounds (C) (e.g., TiCl4) at room temperature to 200 deg.C. C2H4 is copolymerized with an alpha-olefin (e.g., C3H6) at 0-150 deg.C and a pressure of an atmospheric pressure to 100kg/cm<2> in the presence of a catalyst comprising component A and 1-500mol, per mol of Ti of component A, catalyst component B comprising an organoaluminum compound of the formula (wherein R is a 1-12 C hydrocarbon group, X is a halogen, alkoxy or H and m is 1-3).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the copolymerization of ethylene and alpha-olefins, and more particularly to a method for polymerizing rubbery ethylene and alpha-olefins using specific highly active catalysts.

ている。
A common method for copolymerizing ethylene and α-olefin to produce a rubbery polymer is to use a vanadium compound and an organoaluminum compound as a catalyst, but the activity is low (and the productivity is low, so it is difficult to remove the catalyst from the resulting polymer). It is necessary to remove the residue, which requires equipment and a lot of energy, making the product expensive, and the development of highly active catalysts is desired to reduce costs.
