A method of making a solid procatalyst composition for use in a
Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization catalyst composition, said method
comprising: contacting a precursor composition comprising a magnesium
compound with a titanium halide compound and an internal electron donor
in any order, in a suitable reaction medium to prepare a solid
procatalyst composition, separating the solid procatalyst from the
reaction medium, extracting the solid procatalyst composition by
contacting the same one or more times with a liquid diluent at an
elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to prepare a solid
procatalyst composition having a decreased titanium content compared to
the titanium content of the solid procatalyst composition before said
extraction, and recovering the solid procatalyst composition.
