Abstract:
In a novel process for the preparation of a supported catalyst for the polymerization of .alpha.-olefins, a carrier gel (1) is first prepared by a method in which a sodium or potassium waterglass solution is introduced into a stream of an aqueous mineral acid which is subjected to angular momentum and may contain aluminum ions, longitudinally and tangentially to the stream, the resulting silica hydrosol sprayed in the form of drops into a gaseous medium and allowed to solidify into a hydrogel, and the resulting hydrogel is freed from salts by washing without prior aging and, if necessary, freed from some of the water by extraction with alcohols and/or ketones and is then dried. This gives the carrier gel (1), which is milled and is fractionated according to particle size. In a second process step, the carrier gel (1) is laden with chromium trioxide or with a chromium compound which can be converted into chromium trioxide, after which the resulting chromium-containing carrier gel (2) is heated at from 400.degree. to 1100.degree. C. for from 10 to 1,000 minutes in an anhydrous gas stream containing oxygen in a concentration of more than 10% by volume. In the novel process, it is essential that the drying of the hydrogel be carried out with formation of the carrier gel (1) in a fast dryer in the course of not more than 300 seconds at an inlet temperature of from 200.degree. to 600.degree. C. The supported catalyst prepared in this manner gives homo- and copolymers of ethylene having excellent low temperature impact strength.
