Catalysts for olefin polymerization comprising (a) a compound of a transition metal of Groups 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table, (b) clay, a clay mineral or an ion-exchanging layered compound, (c) a silane compound, and optionally (d) an organic aluminium compound and/or (e) an alkylating agent, and those comprising (a) a compound of a transition metal of Groups 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table, (b) clay, a clay mineral or an ion-exchanging layered compound, (d) an organic aluminium compound, and optionally (e) an alkylating agent have high activity, though not containing a large amount of aluminoxane. Using the catalysts, high-quality olefin polymers with good morphology are produced efficiently. The amount of the residual metal to remain in the polymers produced is small. |
