Thus, if the reducing agent is an alkyl aluminium sesquihalide, it is preferred to carry out the reduction at a temperature of between -20°C and +20°C, very conveniently at 0°C. If the reducing agent is a dialkyl aluminium halide, whilst the temperature may be lower, for example as low as -40°C, satisfactory products can be obtained by using temperatures in the same range, that is temperatures in the range from -20°C up to +20°C, although temperatures of ⁇ 40°C up to +10°C are particularly suitable.

Using a dialkyl aluminium halide, or a material such as an aluminium sesquihalide which may be regarded as containing a proportion of a dialkyl aluminium halide, the preferred proportions of the organic aluminium compound are from 0.5 up to 1.5 moles of dialkyl aluminium halide for each mole of titanium tetrachloride. Using an aluminium trialkyl the preferred proportions are less and are typically in the range from 0.25 up to 0.5 mole for every mole of titanium tetrachloride.

Thus, it is especially preferred to heat the reduction product, which may have been subjected to the optional thermal treatment, to the temperature of at least 60°C, and, whilst maintaining that temperature, add first the compound E and thereafter the compound L. If desired, the contacting with either compound E or compound L may be repeated and using such a procedure the reaction product is preferably separated from the reaction mixture and washed before repeating the contacting with compound E or compound L.
  • Contacting with compounds E and L may be effected in more than one step, for example by repeating the contacting with at least one of the compounds E or L.
  • a first contacting step may be effected with one of the compounds E and L and a further and separate contacting step is then effected with the other one of compounds E and L.

However, it will be appreciated that such a procedure is possible only if washing is effected after contacting with compound E and thereafter the final contacting step is effected without the addition of any of the compound E.
  • a convenient technique for effecting such a procedure is to heat the product of stage 1) to the temperature of at least 60°C, add compound E to the heated product some time after the desired temperature has been attained, for example 30 minutes to two hours after attaining the desired temperature, wash the heated product, heat the washed product to the temperature of at least 60°C and add compound L at any time after attaining the desired temperature.
  • stage 2 the contacting with compounds E and L, is effected in a single step, then the final stage of the process is to wash the product of stage 2).

  • the autoclave was maintained at 60°C while propylene was passed into the autoclave at a constant rate of 22 pounds per hour (about 10 kilograms per hour).
  • the propylene charge contained 0.1596 by volume of hydrogen.
  • a total of 33.5 kilograms of propylene were passed into the autoclave, after which the propylene feed was terminated and the autoclave pressure was allowed to run down to 5 psi (34.5 kN/m 2 ) gauge.
  • the residual propylene was then vented off and the polymer suspension passed into a glass-lined vessel.
  • the autoclave was washed with 20 litres of the diluent which was also added to the glass-lined vessel.
  • the contents of the glass-lined vessel were mixed with isopropanol in an amount of 2% by volume relative to the diluent.
  • the mixture was stirred for one hour at 70°C, a mixture of isopropanol and water (containing 10% by volume of water) was added in an amount of 0.6% by volume relative to the diluent and stirring at 70°C was continued for a further 2 hours.
  • the polymer suspension was then run into a further vessel containing 40 litres of demineralised water at ambient temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes.
  • the aqueous phase was then decanted off and a further 40 litres of demineralised water at ambient temperature were added and the process was repeated.
  • the diluent was then filtered off and the polymer was dried at 100°C in the fluidised bed using nitrogen as fluidising gas.
  • example 1 The procedure of example 1 was repeated except that the n-heptane diluent was replaced at all stages by a hydrocarbon fraction consisting mainly of C 7 isomers and having a boiling point range of 97°C to 103°C and the glycerol monostearate was replaced by 0.05 mole, for each mole of titanium trichloride, of a different ester. Further details are given in Table 5.
  • the whole mixture was then heated up to a temperature of 90°C whilst still stirring.
  • the temperature was maintained at 90°C for 90 minutes, the mixture was allowed to cool and settle, the supernatant liquid was decanted off and the residual solid was then washed 5 times using 3 litres of the hydrocarbon diluent for each wash.
  • the washed product was then suspended in 3 litres of the hydrocarbon diluent and the suspension obtained was then split up into several portions.
  • Example 2 One portion was treated as described in Example 1 with the exception that the n-heptane diluent was replaced, at all stages, by the hydrocarbon diluent and the glycerol monostearate was replaced by 0.10 mole, for each mole of titanium trichloride, of the ethyl ester of phenylacetic acid.
  • Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated with a number of variations as follows:-
  • Reduction was effected by using the solution of ethyl aluminium sesquichloride in an amount sufficient to provide 0.7 mole of diethyl aluminium chloride for each mole of titanium tetrachloride.
  • the reduced product was initially heated at 110°C.
  • the titanium trichloride products of Examples 27 and 28 were used to prepare a copolymer of propylene with ethylene.
  • Polymerisation was effected in a 20 gallon (91 litre) stainless steel autoclave.
  • 64 litres of the hydrocarbon diluent (as used in Examples 11 to 20) were charged into the vessel and degassed at 60°C for 30 minutes at a pressure of 50 mm Hg.
  • Propylene containing 0.175% by volume of hydrogen was then admitted to the vessel at a rate of 22 Ibs/hr in an amount to give a pressure of 1 psi (6.9 kN/m 2 ) gauge.
  • a vent on the vessel was opened and the propylene/hydrogen addition was continued for a further 5 minutes, the pressure in the autoclave being maintained at 1 psi gauge throughout.
  • the autoclave temperature was maintained at 60°C whilst a total of 60.3 Ibs (27.4 kg) of propylene containing 0.175 volume % of hydrogen was passed into the autoclave at a constant rate of 22 Ibs/hour (about 10 kg/hour), after which the propylene/hydrogen feed was terminated and the autoclave pressure was allowed to run down to 10 psi (69 kN/m 2 ) gauge, (equivalent to 20 psi (138 kN/m2) absolute) of propylene, the excess pressure being due to the presence of inert materials.
  • a total of 2.07 kg of ethylene was then metered into the autoclave at a feed rate of 2.3kg/hour for 20 minutes, then 4.0 kgm/hour for 20 minutes.
  • the ethylene feed was then terminated and the autoclave pressure allowed to run down to a total pressure of 2 psi (13.8 kN/m 2 ) gauge.
  • the polymer suspension was passed into a 20 gallon (91 litre) glass-lined vessel.
  • the autoclave was washed with 20 litres of the hydrocarbon diluent which was also added to the glass-lined vessel.
  • the contents of the glass-lined vessel were mixed with isopropanol in an amount of 3% by volume relative to the diluent.
  • the mixture was stirred for t hour at 70°C, and a mixture of isopropanol and distilled water (containing 10% by volume of water) was added in an amount of 0.6% by volume relative to the diluent and stirring at 70°C continued for a further 1 t hours.
  • the polymer suspension was run into a further 20 gallon vessel containing 40 litres of demineralised water at ambient temperature and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. the stirrer was then stopped and the aqueous phase decanted off. A further 40 litres of demineralised water were added, stirring restarted and the process repeated. The diluent was then filtered off and the polymer was dried at 100°C in a fluidised bed using nitrogen as the fluidising gas.
  • Examples 35 and 36 The procedure of Examples 35 and 36 was repeated except that a total of 55.3 Ibs (25.1 kg) of propylene containing 0.145% by volume of hydrogen was added to the autoclave, after which the feed was terminated and the autoclave pressure allowed to run down to 18 psi (124 kN/m 2 ) gauge (equivalent to 30 psi (207 kN/m2) absolute of propylene). A total of 4.4 kg of ethylene was then added at a feed rate of 2.3 kg/hour for 20 minutes and then 4.0 kg/hour for 56 minutes. Ethylene feed was terminated and the autoclave pressure allowed to run down to 2 psi (13.8 kN/m 2 ) gauge. The polymer suspension was then treated as described in Examples 35 and 36.
