Abstract

Different methods to remove the alcohol of adduct MgCl2nEtOH were studied to obtain Ziegler-Natta catalysts for evaluation in ethylene and propylene polymerization. Thus, the adduct MgCl2nEtOH was submitted to thermal dealcoholation, as well as chemical dealcoholation with different substances: titanium tetrachloride, triethylaluminum, and dichloro-dimethylsilane. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were performed to obtain information on the thermal characteristics of adducts and prepared supported catalysts. Ethylene and propylene homopolymerization were carried out with the prepared catalysts and the polymers were characterized.
