Abstract: | Sodium sulfate increases the polymerization activity of the titanium(III) chloride (AA)–ethylaluminum sesquichloride system for the polymerization of propylene. The reaction of ethylaluminum sesquichloride with sodium sulfate at mild conditions isolates diethylaluminum chloride, which is responsible for the polymerization activity. The reaction of these components at severe conditions forms an organometallic compound containing sulfate, (C2H5)4Al2SO4, and this compound is a powerful activator for titanium(III) chloride. |
