Process for Recovering a Transition Metal Compound

Abstract

The present application aims to provide a process for producing a solid polymerization catalyst component, including the steps of (A) producing a solution with a transition metal compound and a solvent; (B) solidifying a component with the transition metal compound to produce the solid polymerization catalyst component in a solidification stage; (C) recovering from the solidification stage a liquid stream containing a minor amount of the transition metal compound dissolved therein and a solid catalyst stream; and (D) recovering the transition metal component from the liquid stream, characterized in that step (D) may include concentrating the solution to produce a first product stream including the solvent and being essentially free of the transition metal compound and a second product stream including the solvent and the transition metal compound, characterized in that the concentration is conducted within a temperature range of from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius.
