Abstract
The present invention relates to particulate olefin polymerization catalyst components comprising an alkaline earth metal, a compound of a transition metal and an electron donor, characterized in that the catalyst particle size distribution of the catalyst component is essentially monomodal and has a SPAN value below 1.2, where SPAN is defined as: (Particle diameter at 90% cumulative size)−(Particle diameter at 10% cumulative size)/(Particle diameter at 50% cumulative size). The particulate olefin polymerisation catalyst components of the present invention are provided by a process which comprises preparing a solution of a complex of an alkaline earth metal and an electron donor by reacting a compound of said metal with said electron donor or a precursor thereof in an organic liquid reaction medium, reacting said complex in the solution form with a compound of a transition metal to produce a dispersion, wherein the dispersed phase predominantly contains the alkaline earth metal in said complex, and solidifying said dispersed phase to obtain said catalyst component, and is characterized in that a second organic liquid medium is added to the reactor after mixing the alkaline earth metal complex with the transition metal compound.
