The invention relates to the catalyst polymerization of olefins, including ethylene and its mixtures with olefins CH 2 =CHR, where R represents an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl radical containing 1-12 carbon atoms containing solid component of the catalyst, contains Ti, Mg, halogen and demonstrating special physical signs, expressed through a specific range of porosity, aluminiumallee connection and certain specific halogenated alkyl compounds. Activity during polymerization is a very important factor in any way polymerization. For a given system of catalyst it may depend on the conditions of polymerization, such as temperature, pressure and concentration of regulators polymerization degree. However, after fixing the conditions of polymerization activity is strictly dependent on the system catalyst, and in case of unsatisfactory activity of the quantity of the catalyst, fed to the reactor, should be extended, or shall be extended for the period of his stay. Both solutions degrade the performance of the installation, because increasing the amount of catalyst means an increase in cost per unit of quantity of the obtained polymer, while the increase in time means less productivity of installation. Given the importance of this, there is a need to increase the activity of the catalyst. In General catalyst Ziegler-Natta receive as a result of the reaction between aluminiumtechnik connection and a firm component of the catalyst containing halide magnesium and connection titanium having at least one link Ti-halogen bonds. Because the catalyst determines how the activity and the properties of the polymer, the catalyst, once selected for industrial production, replaced by another with higher activity, only in case of preservation of a new system of properties of polymer basically unchanged. This is the reason why there is a need modification activity during polymerization of a certain system of catalyst without changing its ability to produce polymer, possessing certain properties. In particular, the methods of polymerization of ethylene, in which the catalyst unlike catalysts for polypropylene production normally not contain compounds of external donor to increase stereospecificity, try increasing the activity usually involves the use of halogenated hydrocarbon compounds as improvers activity. Such use is described, for example, in the documents USP 5863995 and the EP 703246 A1. Documents WO03/010211 and WO04/03783 relate specifically to the ways of gas-phase polymerization, use the catalyst Ziegler-Natta, aluminijski and full of halogenated hydrocarbons in certain special ratios. In accordance with the description of the catalyst Ziegler-Natta is not attributed to any critical value, and halogenated hydrocarbons can be selected from a very wide range. In the examples of polimerizatsii from the document WO03/010211 use chloroform, and the results are shown in tables 1-3. In all trials example 5-21, which include the use of other polygalacturonic connections, any information on the results is given, which is confirmed by the wording on page 18, lines 9-10, claiming that the increased activity simply "expect". Another an important feature related to gas-phase polymerization method is the ability of a catalyst to keep a good morphological stability, that is, the ability to withstand conditions of polymerization and not fragmented too small particles that can cause the formation polymer particles that can cause problems with the operation of the installation. This tendency to destruction, in particular, is observed, having received ethylene polymer relatively low molecular mass, expressed through high values of melt flow index. This type of polymer usually get in one of two or more cascade processes of obtaining ethylene polymer, possessing a broad molecular-mass distribution. To obtain such a low-molecular-weight polymer used the increased concentration of the regulator degree of polymerization (usually hydrogen), which has a vast impact on the activity of the catalyst. In these conditions, the agent that improves polymerization must interact with other components of the catalyst so that the resulting system catalyst was able to ensure the production of polymer with high outputs, but if the polymer is identical or increased bulk density in comparison with what can be obtained in no agent, improve activity during polymerization. So, as to my surprise I found the applicant, the combination of a special type of catalyst and a special type of improver activity has led to improved gas-phase method of polymerization of ethylene. Therefore, the aim of the present invention is the catalytic Converter system, especially suitable for gas-phase method of polymerization of olefins and containing (A) a solid component of the catalyst containing Ti, Mg, halogen and characterized porosity (P F ), as measured by the method of mercury porosimetry and is caused by then, with a radius equal to 1 micron or less equal to at least 0.3 cm 3 /g () aluminiumallee connection and (C) of mono - or dehalogenating hydrocarbon. Preferably halogenated hydrocarbon choose from among monopolisierung hydrocarbons. Preferably it is chosen from among monopolisierung of hydrocarbons, in which the halogen associated with the secondary carbon atom. Halogen preferably chosen from chloride and bromide. Non-limiting examples of the connection (S) are propylchloride, isopropylchloride, butyl chloride, sec-butyl chloride, tert-butyl chloride, 2-hlorbutin, cyclopentolate, cyclohexylamine, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,6-dichlorohexane, propyl bromide and Isopropylamine, butylbromide, second-butylbromide, tert-butylbromide, isobutylparaben, isopentylamine, tert-interbreed. Among them in particular are preferred isopropylchloride, 2-hlorbutin, cyclopentolate and 2-bromopropane. Improver activity uses that much to get the molar ratio (B)/(C)that is greater than 3, and preferably in the range 5-20, and preferably in the range 5-13. Preferably components (a) and (C) uses that much to get the molar ratio between (C) and Ti atoms contained in (A), more than 2.5, preferably more than 3, and preferably greater than 3.5. At gas-phase polymerization one particularly preferred range concluded within 3 to 10, and preferably from more than 3.5 to 7. Aluminiuim preferably may be selected from derivatives trialkylamine, such as, for example, trimethylaluminum (TMA), triethylamine (TEAL), triisobutylaluminum (CHIBA), tri-n-butylamine, tri-n-hexylamine, tri-n-octylamine. Also can be used alkilaminokarbeny and, in particular, alkilaminokarbeny, such as diethylaluminum (GEAH), diisobutylaluminum, Al-sesquiplane and dimetilaminoboran (DMAH). Can also be used, and in some cases are the preferred and mixtures derived trialkylamine and alkylhalogenides. In accordance with the present invention in particular, it is preferable to use mixtures between TEAL and CHIBA with molar ratios in the range from 0.1 to 10, preferably from 0.5 to 2.5. In the case of mixtures aluminiumtechnik compounds to determine the quantitative relationships ()/() will use the total molar quantity Al. Preferably component catalyst (A) is characterized by the porosity P F , defined by the method of mercury porosimetry, more than 0.40 cm3 /g, and preferably greater than 0,50 cm3 /g, usually in the range from 0.50 to 0.80 cm 3 /year Total porosity P F can be in the range of 0.50 to 1.50 cm 3 /g), in particular in the range of 0.60 to 1.20 cm 3 /year The area of the specific surface measured by the BET method, preferably is less than 80, and in particular in the range from 10 to 70 m 2 /year Porosity, measured by BET method, in the General case is in the range from 0.10 to 0.50, preferably from 0.10 to 0.40 cm 3 /year The number of Ti is usually greater than 1.5%, preferably more than 3%, and preferably equal to or greater than the 3.2% (mass.). It is most preferable is in the range of 3.5 to 8% (mass.). In one of the preferred aspect component catalyst according to the invention, contains the connection Ti, having at least one link Ti-halogen and recorded on the media, magnesium chloride, which is preferable a magnesium dichloride, and more preferably magnesium dichloride in the active form. In the context of this proposal, the term "magnesium chloride" means compounds of magnesium, which has at least one connection ion chloride and magnesium. As mentioned earlier, a component of the catalyst can also have groups that are distinct from halogen, in any case, in quantities smaller than 0.5 moles per mole of titanium, and preferably less than 0.3. The component of the catalyst the invention of the value of the mean radius long for porosity, caused by pores with the size up to 1 micron, is in the range from 600 to 1200 E. The particles of the solid component (A) have essentially spherical morphology, and the average diameter is in the range from 35 to 150 microns, preferably from 40 to 130 microns, and preferably 50 to 130 mm. As particles with essentially spherical morphology, refers to those particles, which is the ratio between the larger axis and less axis is equal to or less than 1.5, and preferably less than 1.3. Dichloride magnesium in the active form is characterized by x-ray spectra, in which the most intensive line diffraction, which is detected in the spectrum of inactive chloride (constant lattice of 2.56 (E), the intensity decreases and is widened in such extent that it becomes fully or partially fused with a line of reflection observed in position for a permanent crystal lattice (d) 2,95 E. In the case of complete fusion formed a single broad peak will have the maximum of intensity, which is biased towards the corners that are lower than the angles for the most intense lines. One way suitable for obtaining the above-mentioned spherical components, includes the first stage (a), which connection MgCl 2 .m(R III OH)2 O tH, where 0.3≤m < = 1,7, t is in the range from 0.01 to 0.6, and R III represents an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl radical containing 1-12 of carbon atoms enter into a reaction with the mentioned connection titanium, opisyvayutsya formula Ti(OR II ) n X y-n , where n, y, X and R II have the same meaning as described previously. In this case MgCl 2 .mR OH III is a predecessor of dihalogenides Mg. This type of connection in the General case can be obtained by mixing alcohol and magnesium chloride in the presence of inert hydrocarbon, immiscible with adduct, during operation in conditions of mixing with a melting point of adduct (100-130 C). After this emulsion quickly quenched, thus causing the hardening of the adduct in the form of spherical particles. On representative data retrieval methods spherical adducts reported, for example, in the documents USP 4469648, USP 4399054 and WO98/44009. Another suitable way of sterilisatie is a cooling spray, described, for example, in the documents USP 5100849 and 4829034. Adducts, characterized desirable final level of alcohol content can be obtained directly using the selected number of alcohol at the time of receipt of adduct. However, in case of necessity to get adducts, characterized by high porosity, it will be convenient to first obtain adducts containing more than 1.7 mole of alcohol on one mole of the MgCl 2 , and then expose them to the method of thermal and/or chemical dealcoholisation. The method of thermal dealcoholisation implement in a stream of nitrogen at the temperature within range from 50 to 150 C, up to reduce the level of alcohol content up to values in the range from 0.3 to 1.7. The method of this type is described in the document EP 395083. Generally, the data subjected to dealcoholisation adducts are also characterized by the porosity (as measured by mercury method), caused by pores having a radius that goes up to 0.1 mm, in the range of 0.15 to 2.5 cm3 /g, preferably from 0.25 to 1.5 cm 3 /year In response phase (a) the molar ratio Ti/Mg is the stoichiometric or higher; preferably this ratio is greater than 3. Even more preferable is the use of large excess connection titanium. The preferred compounds of titanium are tetrahalogenides titanium, in particular TiCl 4 . Reaction with connection Ti may be held in the result of the suspension of the adduct in the cold TiCl 4 (at 0 C); the mixture is heated up to 80 to 140 C and maintained at this temperature for 0.5-8, preferably from 0.5 to 3 hours. Excess connection titanium can be separated at high temperatures as a result of filtration or sedimentation and sibonisweni. Despite the lack of hard necessary in a solid component of the catalyst (A) may also contain and electron-electron-connection (internal donor), choose, for instance, from among ethers, esters, amines and ketones. In particular, the internal electron-donating the connection may to be selected from archilovich, cycloalkyl and akrilovyh simple ether and ester polycarboxylic acids, such as esters of acetic acid, phthalic, benzoic acid and succinic acids, in particular n-butylphthalate, diisobutyrate, di-n-octylphthalate, ethyl acetate and ethylbenzoic. Other donor compounds used in the best variant, are ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and simple 1,3-diesters that describes, in particular, in the documents of the EP 361494, ER and ER. The above-mentioned components (A)-(C) can be separately submitted to the reactor, where in conditions of polymerization can be used in their activity. Best may be a preliminary introduction to the contact above-mentioned components, not necessarily in the presence of small amounts of olefins over a period of time ranging from 0.1 to 120 minutes, preferably in the range from 1 to 60 minutes. Preliminary introduction to the contact can be carried out in liquid diluent at temperature in the range from 0 to 90 C, preferably in the range from 20 to 70 degrees C. Thus the obtained system of the catalyst can be used directly at the main way of polymerization, or alternatively it can be pre subjected forprimerates. Stage of forprimerates will usually be preferred in case of implementation of the main way of polymerization in the gas phase. Forprimerates can be carried out using any of olefins CH 2 =CHR, where R is a N or C1-C10 hydrocarbon group. In particular, in particular the preferred forprimerates ethylene, propylene or their mixtures with one or more of giant dipole olefins, these mixes contain up to 20% (mol.) alpha-olefin, leading to obtain amounts of the polymer in the range of approximately-0.1 g per gram of solid component up to approximately 1,000 g per gram of solid component of the catalyst. Stage of forprimerates can be carried out at temperatures in the range from 0 to 80 C, preferably from 5 to 70 C in a liquid or gas phase. Stage of forprimerates can be conducted in the same process line as part of a continuous way of polymerization or separately on a periodic way. In particular, it is preferable to periodic forprimerates catalyst the invention when using propylene to get the number of polymer in the range from 0.5 to 20 g per gram component of the catalyst. Before using on the main stage of polymerization facilitiesbethany component catalyst may be subject to additional processing by the connection of titanium. In this case in particular is preferable to use TiCl 4 . Reaction with connection Ti may be held in the result of the suspension forprimerates component catalyst in liquid connection Ti, optional mixed with liquid diluent; the mixture is heated at 60 to 120 C and maintained at this temperature for 0.5-2 hours. Gas-phase method can be implemented using a catalyst the invention in any type of polymerization reactor, such as gas-phase reactors with mixed or fluidized bed. In addition, it can also be implemented in the gas-phase reactors with at least two interrelated curing zone, described in documents ER-AND-782587 and ER-AND-1012195, or a combination with reactor stirring or fluidized bed. The way of the invention may also be implemented in two or more reactors operating in various conditions and not necessarily in the administration, at least partially, polymer, which is produced in the second reactor, recycling the first reactor. Usually two or more of the reactor operated at various concentrations regulator polymerization degree or at different temperatures polymerization, or if there are both differences at the same time. Preferably polymerization is carried out in two or more stages, implemented at various concentrations regulator polymerization degree. As already mentioned, the catalysts of the present invention are characterized by high activity in the polymerization in respect of (co)polymerization of ethylene. In addition to the above ethylene Homo - and copolymers of catalysts of the present invention are also suitable for obtaining polyethylene very low-density and very low density (PEOP and PASEP with density less than 0,920 g/cm 3 , reaching 0,880 g/cm 3 ), consisting of copolymers of ethylene and one or more alpha-olefins, containing from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, characterized by the molar level of the content of the links produced from ethylene, more than 80%; elastomeric copolymers of ethylene and propylene and elastomeric terpolymers ethylene and propylene together with small shares of diene, characterized by massive levels of units produced from ethylene, in the range of approximately 30 to 70%.
