Disclosed are a Z-N catalyst for -olefin polymerization and an application thereof, specifically, an industrial production catalyst consisting of (A) a solid catalyst component, (B) a cocatalyst organoaluminum compound and (C) an external electron donor compound and used for -olefin polymerization or copolymerization processes. The catalyst component is prepared from a transition metal such as titanium and magnesium and a composite aromatic diacid diester/1,3-diether as an internal electron donor. One or more organoaluminum compounds or a mixture thereof serve as the cocatalyst. One or more structure control agent hydrocarbyl alkoxysilicons are compounded with one or more activity regulator organic acid esters as the external electron donor capable of automatically adjusting the polymerization rate. The Z-N catalyst is used for -olefin polymerization/copolymerization, and can automatically adjust the polymerization rate at a higher polymerization temperature so as to maintain stable operation of a reactor.

A phthalate-free procatalyst composition is disclosed for olefin polymerization that exhibits excellent polymerization activity and response to hydrogen, and can produce a polyolefin exhibiting high stereoregularity, high melt flow rate, and desirable molecular weight distribution. The method for producing the procatalyst composition includes reaction of a magnesium support precursor with a tetravalent titanium halide and a combination of different internal electron donors. The first internal electron donor may comprise one or more substituted phenylene aromatic diester and the second internal electron donor may comprise a polyether, preferably a 1,3-diether. In one embodiment, the support precursor comprises a spherical spray crystalized MgCl.sub.2-EtOH adduct.

The present invention relates to a process for the continuous preparation of a polyolefin from one or more -olefin monomers in a reactor system, the process for the continuous preparation of polyolefin comprising the steps of: feeding a polymerization catalyst to a fluidized bed through an inlet for a polymerization catalyst; feeding the one or more monomers to the reactor, polymerizing the one or more monomers in the fluidized bed to prepare the polyolefin; withdrawing polyolefin formed from the reactor through an outlet for polyolefin; withdrawing fluids from the reactor through an outlet for fluids and transporting the fluids through first connection means, an heat exchanger to cool the fluids to produce a cooled recycle stream, and through second connection means back into the reactor via an inlet for the recycle stream; wherein a thermal run away reducing agent (TRRA) is added to the reactor in a discontinuous way.

An ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-fine particle size polyethylene has a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) greater than 1?10.sup.6. The polyethylene is spherical or are sphere-like particles having a mean particle size of 10-100 ?m, having a standard deviation of 2-15 ?m and a bulk density of 0.1-0.3 g/mL. Using the polyethylene as a basic polyethylene, a grafted polyethylene can be obtained by means of a solid-phase grafting method; and a glass fiber-reinforced polyethylene composition comprising the polyethylene and glass fibers, and a sheet or pipe prepared therefrom; a solubilized ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-fine particle size polyethylene; and a fiber and a film prepared from the solubilized ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-fine particle size polyethylene may also be obtained. The method has simple steps, is easy to control, has a relatively low cost and a high repeatability, and can realize industrialisation.
