Problems solved by technology

The main technical problems are: the catalyst is unstable and easy to separate; it is difficult to solve the problem of β-H removal when initiating the polymerization of isobutene, which makes it difficult to increase the molecular weight of polyisobutene. Therefore, when the polymerization temperature is higher than -30 ° C Usually only polyisobutene with low molecular weight and high reactivity can be obtained; the production equipment used to prepare medium molecular weight and high molecular weight polyisobutene is complex, and the requirements for equipment are extremely high, such as conveyor belt devices, the production cost is high, and the molecular weight distribution of polyisobutene obtained It is wide; it is difficult to directly initiate the polymerization of the by-product carbon four fractions of petroleum cracking or catalytic cracking to synthesize polyisobutene products of medium molecular weight; extremely low polymerization temperature (such as -104 ° C, the boiling point of ethylene) is required to obtain high molecular weight polyisobutene product, high energy consumption

Abstract

The invention relates to an initiation system based on boron trifluoride and a method for preparing polyisobutylene using the initiation system. The initiation system is composed of BF3, a proton donor and an electron donor, wherein the proton donor can be selected from water, methanol, ethanol, phenol, orthocresol, aromatic alcohol or aromatic acid compound; and the electron donor is an organic compound containing C3-C10 saturated oxa heterocyclic ether, cyclic amine aza heterocycle or epithio ether heterocycle. Two kinds of polyisobutylene with different molecular weights and narrower molecular weight distribution can be prepared according to needs by using the initiation system and adopting a common tank reactor: (1) medium-molecular-weight polyisobutylene, which has the molecular weight of 5*10<4>-1.5*10<5>, narrower molecular weight distribution and distribution index number (Mw/Mn) of 2.3-3.5; and (2) high-molecular-weight polyisobutylene, which has the molecular weight of 2.0*10<5>-1.5*10<6>, narrower molecular weight distribution and distribution index number (Mw/Mn) of 2.3-3.5. The production process is simple and the production cost is saved.
