A method for producing .alpha.-olefin polymers is provided. This method provides products having superior properties such as higher bulk density and uniform particle form which is close to sphere, with such an extremely higher catalyst efficiency that ash-removal step can be omitted without fear of coloring. The characteristic point of this method is in the improvement of conventional catalyst obtained by reacting a trivalent metal halide with a divalent metal hydroxide, oxide or carbonate or a double salt containing foregoing compounds or a hydrate of a compound containing a divalent metal to form a solid product (I), reacting an electron donor with said product (I), reacting the resulting product with a compound of transition metal of the 4th a or the 5th a group to form a final solid product and combining an organoaluminum compound with said final product,

Method for producing .alpha.-olefin polymers

A process for producing polyethylene having a superior form and a narrower molecular weight distribution with a higher polymer yield is provided. In this process, a combination of a solid product (II) with an organoaluminum compound is used as a polymerization catalyst. This solid product is prepared by first reacting a trivalent metal halide with a divalent metal compound to form a solid product (I), which is then reacted with a halogen-containing transition metal compound and a halogen-free transition metal compound in the presence of a polysiloxane.

A method for producing .alpha.-olefin polymers or copolymers by the use of an improved catalyst having a specific solid product combined with an organoaluminum compound is provided. The specific solid product (III) is prepared by

An improvement in the method for producing ethylene polymers by using a catalyst consisting of a combination of a following solid product with an organoaluminum compound is provided. Said solid product (III) is prepared by reacting a trivalent metal halide with a divalent metal compound; reacting the resulting reaction product with a transition metal compound in the form of liquid; reacting the resulting solid product (I) with an aluminum or boron alcoholate; and reacting the resulting solid product (II) again with a transition metal compound in the form of liquid to obtain said solid product (III). Ethylene polymers obtained according to this method have broader molecular weight distributions.
