The present invention relates to a method for producing an α-olefin low polymer through low polymerization reaction of an α-olefin in the presence of a catalyst containing a transition metal-containing compound, an aluminum-containing compound and a hydrocarbon having 2 or more carbon atoms and substituted with a halogen atom, and a solvent, which comprises a reaction step, a purification step and a circulation step of circulating the unreacted raw material α-olefin and the solvent from the purification step to the reaction step; and in which the amount of the olefin having 2 or more carbon atoms and substituted with a halogen atom that is supplied from the circulation step to the reaction step is within a range of from 0.1 to less than 200 (molar ratio) relative to the amount of the transition metal in the reaction step.
本发明涉及一种生产α-烯烃低聚物的方法,该方法是通过α-烯烃在含过渡
金属化合物、含铝化合物和具有2个或2个以上碳原子并被卤素原子取代的碳氢化合物以及溶剂的催化剂存在下进行低聚合反应来生产α-烯烃低聚物,该方法包括反应步骤、纯化步骤和将未反应的原料α-烯烃和溶剂从纯化步骤循环到反应步骤的循环步骤;其中从循环步骤供应到反应步骤的具有 2 个或 2 个以上碳原子并被卤素原子取代的烯烃的量在 0.1至小于200(摩尔比)的范围内。
