Abstract
A silica-containing composition suitable for supporting chromium to produce a catalyst capable of giving high melt flow olefin polymers for such applications as injection molding and the like requiring a narrow molecular weight distribution, is produced by treating a silica-containing material at an elevated temperature with either (1), CO, (2) a bromine or iodine component, or (3) an oxygen-containing sulfur component, more specifically a carbon, oxygen and sulfur-containing component. Thereafter, anhydrous chromium can be added, for instance, by means of a hydrocarbon solution of a soluble chromium compound, and the resulting composition activated in air to produce a catalyst. The bromine or iodine treated silica contains bound bromine or iodine if the treating agent is HBr, HI, an organic halide of Br or I or elemental Br or I used in conjunction with a reducing agent. This material is a novel composition of matter and is suitable for use as a reinforcing agent in rubber or plastics and as a support for a chromatographic column in addition to be suitable for supporting a chromium compound to produce a catalyst.
