Abstract BACKGROUND: Kinetic andmorphological aspects of slurry propylene polymerization using a MgCl2-supported Ziegler–Natta catalyst synthesized from a Mg(OEt)2 precursor are investigated in comparison with a ball-milled Ziegler–Natta catalyst. RESULTS: The two types of catalyst show completely different polymerization profiles: mild activation and long-standing activity with good replication of the catalyst particles for the Mg(OEt)2-based catalyst, and rapid activation and deactivation with severe fragmentation of the catalyst particles for the ball-milled catalyst. The observed differences arediscussed in relation to spatial distribution of TiCl4 on the outermost part and inside of the catalyst particles. CONCLUSION: The Mg(OEt)2-based Ziegler–Natta catalyst is believed to show highly stable polymerization activity and good replication because of the uniform titanium distribution all over the catalyst particles.
