A preparation method for high performance porous titanium trichloride catalyst for propylene polymerization was established. α-Titanium trichloride was selectively obtained by reducing titanium tetrachloride with a concentrated alkylaluminum compound. Highly active porous titanium trichloride catalyst was obtained from the mixture of dibutyl ether (ether/Ti>1.0) and hexachloroethane (C2Cl6/Ti>0.8). This catalyst showed 15% higher activity than conventional porous titanium trichloride catalyst. In the treatment of the mixture, crystalline structure would be transformed from α-form to δ-form by the action of chlorine radical. It is considered that the stability and the amount of chlorine radical are important to obtain high activity catalyst. † The New Preparation Method of High Performance Porous Titaniumtrichloride Catalyst for Propylene Polymerization.
