Patent attributes
Provided is a process for polymerization and copolymerization of ethylene, specifically comprising carrying out polymerization or copolymerization ethylene in the presence of (a) a solid complex titanium catalyst which is produced by the process comprising: (i) preparing a magnesium compound solution by contacting a halogenated magnesium compound and an alcohol for allowing a reaction; (ii) reacting the resulted magnesium compound solution with an ester compound having at least one hydroxyl group and a silicon compound having at least one alkoxy group; (iii) reacting the resulted solution with a mixture of a titanium compound and a silicon compound to obtain a solid titanium catalyst component; (iv) washing the resulted solid titanium catalyst component with a halogenated saturated hydrocarbon compound; and (v) further reacting the washed solid titanium catalyst component with a titanium compound to obtain a solid complex titanium catalyst, and (b) an organometallic compound from Group II or III of Periodic table of elements. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a process for polymerization or copolymerization of ethylene in which the catalyst activity is improved and a polymer of high bulk density is provided, with the use of a catalyst prepared by a simple process.
