The object of the present invention is to provide a production method for a polyolefin, in which catalyst activity is improved, and a polyolefin such as a linear low density polyethylene can advantageously be industrially produced. The present invention relates to a production method for a polyolefin, in which in producing a polyolefin by the polymerization reaction of an olefin using a catalyst, an organohalide is present in the reaction system in an amount of from 0.05 to 10 ppm by weight in terms of the halogen atom as a concentration in a raw material olefin, and 1-hexene for linear low density polyethylene production raw material, containing an organohalide in an amount of from 0.05 to 10 ppm by weight in terms of the halogen atom.

Production method of polyolefin, polyolefin and 1-hexene for linear low density polyethylene production raw material

A process for producing a rhodium complex solution, which comprises contacting an aqueous solution of a water-soluble rhodium compound and an organic solvent solution of a water-insoluble tertiary organic phosphorus compound, preferably in the presence of a C.sub.2-8 carboxylic acid, in a gas atmosphere containing carbon monoxide, followed by two phase separation, and recovering an organic solvent phase containing a rhodium-tertiary organic phosphorus compound complex. As the above aqueous solution of a rhodium compound, an aqueous solution having rhodium extracted into an aqueous phase from a waste catalyst liquid separated from a hydroformylation reaction step by oxidation treatment in the presence of a recovery accelerator such as a carboxylic acid, an amine, ammonia or an inorganic acid, is used, whereby recycling of rhodium represented by hydroformylation reaction/recovery of the catalyst/regeneration of the catalyst, is made possible, and a cumbersome step of preparing a complex catalyst from an inorganic salt or the like, or a step of preparing a soluble salt from a metal or oxide by combustion in water of the recovered catalyst, can be omitted.
