Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polyolefin preparation, and particularly relates to a polyolefin production device and a production method. Background Art

[0002] Polyolefins are the products with the largest proportion in polymer materials, and have the characteristics of low cost, light specific gravity, easy molding and processing, etc., and are widely used in many fields such as industry, agriculture, military, and medicine. In these application fields, people hope that the obtained polyolefins have good mechanical properties. When using multi-active center catalysts, such as Ziegler-Natta catalysts, etc., to catalyze olefin polymerization, the obtained products generally have a wide distribution. Therefore, the molecular weight of the high molecular weight part of the product that provides mechanical properties will be very high, which affects processing. With the development of single-center catalysts and the progress of solution polymerization technology, products with a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution can gradually be obtained, but in actual production, the molecular weight distribution of the obtained products is still relatively wide. Therefore, finding a method to reduce the molecular weight distribution is particularly important for polyolefin products to exhibit good mechanical properties under lower molecular weight conditions.

[0003] Patents CN113348186A and CN114364706A narrow the molecular weight distribution of polymers by adding chain transfer agents to the reaction kettle, but to a certain extent, it will reduce the molecular weight of the catalyst catalyzing olefin polymerization, and it may be impossible to obtain polyolefins with a narrow distribution of high molecular weight. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a method to adjust the molecular weight distribution of polymers that does not affect the catalytic performance of the catalyst itself.

[0035] The first raw material and the second raw material are respectively introduced through the first feed pipe and the second feed pipe, so that the two are mixed in the first mixing cavity, and then enter the second mixing cavity to be mixed with the third raw material from the third feed pipe.

[0036] The first raw material includes an initiator;

[0037] The second raw material includes a solvent and monomer A;

[0038] The third raw material includes monomer B.

[0039] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the solvent includes any one or a combination of at least two of straight-chain alkanes, isoparaffins, naphthenes or mixed alkanes with 6 - 12 carbon atoms, such as a combination of n-hexane and n-heptane, a combination of cyclohexane and n-hexane, etc.

[0041] Preferably, monomer B includes ethylene.

[0042] In the present invention, generally, the raw material with the smallest demand for materials is introduced through the first feed pipe, such as the initiator in the olefin polymerization raw materials; the second feed pipe is generally for liquid feeding, such as the comonomer and solvent in the olefin polymerization raw materials. Among them, the solvent generally uses straight-chain alkanes, isoparaffins, naphthenes or mixed alkanes with 6 - 12 carbon atoms, with a density of 0.6 - 1.0 t / m3, preferably 0.65 - 0.8 t / m3; the third feed pipe can be for liquid feeding or gas feeding.

[0043] Preferably, the flow rate in the first feed pipe is 0.01 - 3 m / s, such as 0.01 m / s, 0.02 m / s, 0.05 m / s, 0.1 m / s, 0.15 m / s, 0.2 m / s, 0.4 m / s, 0.8 m / s, 1 m / s, 1.5 m / s, 2 m / s, 2.5 m / s, 2.8 m / s or 3 m / s, etc., but not limited to the listed values.

Other unlisted values within this numerical range are equally applicable. Preferably, it is 0.02 - 0.8 m / s, and more preferably 0.1 - 0.4 m / s.

[0046] In the present invention, the coordination between the flow rate and the diameter of each feed pipe is very important. At the same pipe diameter, if the flow rate is too small, turbulence cannot be formed, the mixing effect is reduced, and the molecular weight distribution becomes larger; at the same pipe diameter, if the flow rate is too large, problems such as increased pressure loss, pipeline vibration, and large impact on the automatic valve switch will occur. At the same time, there is not enough time to conduct static electricity, resulting in the accumulation and increase of static charge potential.

Other unlisted values within this numerical range are equally applicable. Preferably, it is 0.1 - 10 t.

[0048] The production method described in the present invention can be used to prepare polyethylene and copolymers of C3 to C10 α-olefins.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0050] By optimizing the structure of the feed mixer in the polyolefin production device of the present invention, the mixing of materials becomes more uniform. After the mixed materials enter the reactor, the concentration gradient can be effectively reduced, the reaction effect can be improved, and at the same time, the molecular weight distribution of the product can be significantly narrowed without affecting the catalytic performance of the catalyst itself.
