Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a process for the production of a catalyst component for use in the polymerization of alpha -olefins, which comprises reacting titanium tetrachloride with a dialkylaluminum monohalide and monoalkylaluminum dihalide, said dialkylaluminum monohalide being in a proportion of at least equimolar to said titanium tetrachloride, to thus obtain a violet reduced solid, then removing aluminum compounds contained in said reduced solid and further activating with a mixture or complex of titanium tetrachloride and a dialkyl ether of the general formula ROR' wherein R and R' are the same or different and are (a) alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms, (b) normal alkyl groups having 5 carbon atoms or (c) alkyl groups having 6-20 carbon atoms and to a catalyst component prepared by the process of the invention.
