14 m is 4 when s is 1 and m is 5 when s ~s 0.
The present invention also provides a process for producing 16 polyethylenes having a high molecular weight as well as a broad 17 molecular weight distribution and especially MWD of the bimodal 18 type. The process comprises polymeriz~ng ethylene 19 alone or ethylene with minor amounts of higher alpha-olefins in the presence of the homogeneous catalyst system described above 21 The present invention furthermore provides high molecular 22 weight polyethylene having a ~imodal molecular weight 23 distribution.
24 It is highly surprising that two different metallocenes in combination with an alumoxane can produce polyethylene having a 2~ broad MWD since the individual metal10cenes with an alumoxane 27 generally obtains polyekhylene having a narrow MWD. In 28 acGordance with th~s invention, howeYer, one can advantageously 29 tailor polyethylene ha~ing desired molecular weights and 3 molecuar weight d;stributions by the judicious selection of metallocenes.

12 The present invention is directed towards a catalytic 13 process for the polymerization of ethylene to high molecular 14 weight polyethylenes evidencing a broad and/or multîmodal molecular weight distribution. The polymers are intended for 16 fabrication into articles by extrusion, injection molding, 17 thermoforming, rotational molding, and the like. In 18 particular, the polymers of this invention are homopo7ymers of 19 ethylene, however, minor amounts of higher alpha-olefins haYing from 3 to about lO carbon atoms and preferably 4 to 8 carbon 21 atoms can be copolymerized with ethylene. IllustratiYe of the 22 higher alpha-olefins are butene-l, hexene-l and octene-l.
23 In the process of the present invention, ethylene, either 24 alone or together with minor amounts of alpha-olefins, is polymerized in the presence of a catalyst system comprising at 26 least two metal~ocenes and an alumoxane.
27 The alumoxanes are well known in the art and are polymeric 28 aluminum compounds which can be represented by the general 29 formulae (R-Al-O)n which is a cyclic compound and R(R-Al-O-)nAlR2, which is a linear compound. In the 31 general formula R is a Cl-C5 alkyl group such as, for 32 example, methyl, ethyl, propy7, buty7 and pentyl and n is an 33 integer ~rom l to about 20. Most preferably, R is methyl.
34 Generally, ~n the preparation of alumoxanes from, for example, ~LZ31~
alumlnum trimethyl and water, a mixture of the linear and 2 cyclic compounds are obta~ned.
3 The alumoxanes can be prepared ~n various ways.
4 Preferab1y, they are prepared by contacting water with a solution of aluminum trialkyl, such as, for example, aluminum 6 trimethyl, in a suitable organic solvent such as benzene or an 7 aliphat~c hydrocarbon. For example, the aluminum alkyl is 8 treated with water in the form of a mo~st solvent or the g aluminum alkyl such as aluminum trimethyl can be desirably contacted with a hydrated salt such as hydrated copper sulfato.
11 Preferably, the alumoxane is prepared in the presence of a 12 hydrated copper sulfate. The method comprises treating a 13 dilute solution of aluminum trimethyl in, for example, toluene, 14 with copper sulfate represented by the general formula CuS04.5H20. The ratio of copper sulfate to aluminum 16 trimethyl is desirably about 1 mole o~ copper sulfate for 5 17 moles of aluminum trimethyl. The reaction is evidenced by the 18 evolution of methane.
19 The metallocenes employed each should have different propagation and termination rate constants with respect to 21 ethy1ene polymerization. Such rate constants can be determined 22 by one of ordinary skill in the art. The metallocenes are the 23 organometallic coo~dination compound which are the mono, di and 24 tricyclopentadienyls and their derivatives of a transltion 2S metal of Group 4b, 5b and 6b metals of the Periodic Tab7e. The 26 more desirable metallocenes employed in accordance with the 27 invention are represented by the general formula 28 (C5R'm)pR"s(C5R'm)MeQ3 p and 29 RUs(C5R'm3~MeQ' wherein (C5R'm) is cyclopentadienyl or substituted cyclopentadienyl, each R' is the same or 31 different and is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl radical such as 32 alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkylaryl7 or arylalkyl radicals 33 containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or two adJacent carbon 34 atoms are joined together to form a C4-C6 ring, R" is a Cl-C4 alkylen~ radical, a dialkyl germanium or silicone or 36 an alkyl phosphine or amine radical bridging two ~C5R'm) 1~317~

Such solvents are ~ well known and include, for example, butane, isobutane, pentane9 hexanè, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, 11 methylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene and the like.
12 The catalyst systems described herein are suitable for the 13 polymerization of ethylene either in solution, slurry or gas 14 phase over a wide range of tempera~ures and pressures. For example, such temperatures may be ~n the range of about -60C
16 to about 280C and especially in the range of about 50C to 17 160C. The pressures employed ~n the process of the present 18 invent~on are those well known for, for example, in the range 19 of about 1 to about 500 atmospheres and even greater.
In a solution phase polymeri7ation the alumoxane and 21 metallocene can be employed as a homogeneous catalyst system.
22 The alumoxane is preferably dissolved in a suitable solven~, 23 typically in inert hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene, ~ylene~
24 and the like in molar concentrations of about O.lM to 3M, 2s however, greater or lesser amounts can be employed.
26 The soluble metallocenes can be converted to supported 27 heterogeneous catalyst by depositing said metallocenes on 28 typical catalyst supports such ~s, for example9 silica, 29 alumina, and polyethylene, The solid catalysts in combination wi~h an alumoxane can be usefully employed in slurry and gas 31 phase olefin polymer~zation.
32 After po1ymerization and deactlvation of the catalyst, the 33 product polymer can be recovered by processes well known in the 34 art for removal of deact~vated catalysts and solut~on. The solvents may be flashed o~f from the polymer solution and the 36 obtained polymer e~truded into water and cut into pellets or 37 other suitable comminuted shapes. Pigments, antioxidants and ~23~

The present invention also provides a process for producing 16 polyethylenes having a high molecular weight as well as a broad 17 molecular weight distribution and especially MWD of the bimodal 18 type. The process comprises polymeriz~ng ethylene 19 alone or ethylene with minor amounts of higher alpha-olefins in the presence of the homogeneous catalyst system described above 21 The present invention furthermore provides high molecular 22 weight polyethylene having a ~imodal molecular weight 23 distribution.
24 It is highly surprising that two different metallocenes in combination with an alumoxane can produce polyethylene having a 2~ broad MWD since the individual metal10cenes with an alumoxane 27 generally obtains polyekhylene having a narrow MWD. In 28 acGordance with th~s invention, howeYer, one can advantageously 29 tailor polyethylene ha~ing desired molecular weights and 3 molecuar weight d;stributions by the judicious selection of metallocenes.

12 The present invention is directed towards a catalytic 13 process for the polymerization of ethylene to high molecular 14 weight polyethylenes evidencing a broad and/or multîmodal molecular weight distribution. The polymers are intended for 16 fabrication into articles by extrusion, injection molding, 17 thermoforming, rotational molding, and the like. In 18 particular, the polymers of this invention are homopo7ymers of 19 ethylene, however, minor amounts of higher alpha-olefins haYing from 3 to about lO carbon atoms and preferably 4 to 8 carbon 21 atoms can be copolymerized with ethylene. IllustratiYe of the 22 higher alpha-olefins are butene-l, hexene-l and octene-l.
23 In the process of the present invention, ethylene, either 24 alone or together with minor amounts of alpha-olefins, is polymerized in the presence of a catalyst system comprising at 26 least two metal~ocenes and an alumoxane.
27 The alumoxanes are well known in the art and are polymeric 28 aluminum compounds which can be represented by the general 29 formulae (R-Al-O)n which is a cyclic compound and R(R-Al-O-)nAlR2, which is a linear compound. In the 31 general formula R is a Cl-C5 alkyl group such as, for 32 example, methyl, ethyl, propy7, buty7 and pentyl and n is an 33 integer ~rom l to about 20. Most preferably, R is methyl.
34 Generally, ~n the preparation of alumoxanes from, for example, ~LZ31~
alumlnum trimethyl and water, a mixture of the linear and 2 cyclic compounds are obta~ned.
3 The alumoxanes can be prepared ~n various ways.
4 Preferab1y, they are prepared by contacting water with a solution of aluminum trialkyl, such as, for example, aluminum 6 trimethyl, in a suitable organic solvent such as benzene or an 7 aliphat~c hydrocarbon. For example, the aluminum alkyl is 8 treated with water in the form of a mo~st solvent or the g aluminum alkyl such as aluminum trimethyl can be desirably contacted with a hydrated salt such as hydrated copper sulfato.
11 Preferably, the alumoxane is prepared in the presence of a 12 hydrated copper sulfate. The method comprises treating a 13 dilute solution of aluminum trimethyl in, for example, toluene, 14 with copper sulfate represented by the general formula CuS04.5H20. The ratio of copper sulfate to aluminum 16 trimethyl is desirably about 1 mole o~ copper sulfate for 5 17 moles of aluminum trimethyl. The reaction is evidenced by the 18 evolution of methane.

Such rate constants can be determined 22 by one of ordinary skill in the art.
