The present invention provides an ethylene polymerization catalyst. The present invention also provides a process for preparing the ethylene polymerization catalyst, comprising reacting powdered magnesium with an alkyl halide of formula RX in the presence of an ether solvent to form a magnesium compound having a structure represented by the formula (RMgX)(MgX), in which R is an alkyl group having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, X is halogen, and molar ratio of q to p is in the range of from larger than 0 to 1, impregnating the magnesium compound onto silica carrier, reacting the silica loading the magnesium compound with an alkyl halide of formula RX, a titatium compound and an alkyl aluminum compound to form a main catalyst component, contacting the main catalyst component with a cocatalyst component to form catalyst for ethylene polymerization. The present invention also relates to the use of the catalyst in the polymerization of ethylene.

Catalyst for polymerization of ethylene, preparation thereof and use of the same

Disclosed is a catalyst for synthesizing low-, medium- and high-density polyethylene, prepared by using commercial powdered magnesium as a raw material, forming a magnesium halide in the nascent state, then reacting said magnesium halide with a titanium compound and an alkyl aluminum compound in the presence of an electron donor compound to form a complex, supporting said complex onto silica carrier and drying the resulting mixture by heating to form a solid main catalyst component, and finally mixing said main catalyst component with an organometallic compound as cocatalyst. The catalyst according to the present invention is characterized by a simple preparing procedure, smooth and stable reaction, uniform heat liberation and less agglomerates when used for gas phase polymerizing ethylene, high polymerization activity, high sensitivity to the modification by hydrogen and high copolymerization power, and the products thus obtained have good product morphology.
