Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of butadiene polymerization, and in particular, to a method for preparing a nickel-based cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber solution and a nickel-based cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber. Background Art

[0002] Polybutadiene rubber has high elasticity, excellent abrasion resistance, and good heat resistance, aging resistance, flex resistance, low heat generation, and small hysteresis loss. In addition, the raw material resources are rich and the price is cheap, which is especially suitable for manufacturing tires. Since a US company first realized the industrial production of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber using a titanium-based catalyst and solution polymerization method in 1960, with the development of the petrochemical industry and the promotion of the tire manufacturing industry, the production has developed rapidly. By 1964, its production capacity ranked second among the seven major general synthetic rubbers, second only to styrene-butadiene rubber. Currently, industrial production plants are available in many countries and regions around the world.

[0003] Matsumoto Tsuyoshi et al. first discovered in 1958 that reduced nickel supported on an acidic substance has the ability to initiate the polymerization of butadiene. Since then, the prelude to the stereospecific polymerization of butadiene initiated by nickel has been opened. Around 1965, countries such as Japan first used a ternary nickel system of nickel naphthenate, triethylaluminum, and boron trifluoride ethyl ether complex to initiate the polymerization of butadiene with toluene as a solvent, realizing industrialization.

[0004] The polymerization technology is the core of the production technology of nickel-based cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber (NiBR). Among them, the conversion rate is related to the energy consumption, material consumption of the product, and the production capacity of the device. So far, in the NiBR production technology, the conversion rate of butadiene is mostly 80-85%, and complete conversion cannot be achieved. The unreacted butadiene needs to be rectified and returned to the polymerization kettle to participate in the reaction again. This brings two problems: one is that the returned butadiene usually contains impurities, which will affect the stability of the polymerization; the other is that the rectification process consumes a large amount of energy. Therefore, if butadiene can be completely converted, the above problems can be avoided. Summary of the Invention
