The present invention relates to a solid catalyst component for alpha-olefin polymerization having a narrow particle size distribution of not less than 6.0 in terms of the value of N in a Rosin-Rammler function of particle size distribution and giving a catalytic activity of not less than 10,000 ((g-polymer produced/g-solid catalyst component)/hour) in polymerization. The catalyst component is obtained by a process which comprises reducing a titanium compound with an organomagnesium compound in the presence of an organosilicon compound and an ester to obtain a solid product, then treating the solid product with: (a) a mixture of titanium tetrachloride and an ether, (b) an organic acid halide, and (c) a mixture of titanium tetrachloride and an ether optionally containing an ester. |
