Abstract
A process for the manufacture of olefin polymers by polymerization of .alpha.-monoolefins by means of a silicic acid xerogel/chromium trioxide catalyst, which is obtained by a method wherein (1) a finely divided silicic acid xerogel is first manufactured by (1.1) employing a silicic acid hydrogel of relatively high solids content, (1.2) extracting at least 60% of the water contained in the hydrogel from the latter by means of a particular organic liquid, (1.3) drying the gel thus obtained until there is no further loss in weight (xerogel formation) and (1.4) reducing the xerogel thus obtained to particles of diameter from 20 to 2,000 .mu.m,
