METHOD FOR ACTIVATION OF CHROMIUM CONTAINING CATALYST PRECURSOR FOR POLYMERIZATION AND THE RESULTING POLYMERIZATION CATALYST
First Claim
1. A method for the preparation of a Cr-containing polymerization catalyst comprising a fluidized-bed method for the activation of the chromium containing catalyst precursor by heat treatment, wherein the heat treatment is performed in an activator in the presence of oxygen at a temperature in the range of from 300 to 1000°
- C. over a time period of from 0.5 to 48 h in an activator having an inner activator chamber surrounded by metallic walls, whereby the activator comprises on the outer surface of the walls a heating jacket covering the complete outer surface of the walls.

Abstract
Method for activation of chromium containing catalyst precursor for polymerization and improved polymerization catalyst resulting The instant invention relates to an activation of a polymerization catalyst precursor by heat treatment comprising a support material and a catalyst precursor deposited thereon in a fluidized bed activator and to the use of the activated polymerization catalyst in the manufacture of polyolefins. The Method is performed in a cylindrical activator (1) arranged vertically comprising tubular activator walls, a fluidization gas inlet (2) near the bottom, a fluidization gas outlet (3) near the top and a heat exchange jacket (4) outside the tubular activator walls, wherein the heating jacket covers the complete outer surface of the walls of the activator. The catalyst prepared by that method is improved with respect to its minor content of impurities and causes less interruptions during gas-phase polymerization or slurry polymerization either in stirred vessel or loop.
