Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of olefin oligomerization, and particularly relates to a catalyst composition for olefin oligomerization, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Linear α-olefins have extensive applications in fields such as ethylene copolymer monomers, synthesis intermediates of surfactants, alcohols for plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, and oil additives. In recent years, with the continuous development of the polyolefin industry, the demand for α-olefins has increased rapidly worldwide.

[0003] At present, the vast majority of α-olefins are prepared by ethylene oligomerization. The catalysts used in the ethylene oligomerization method mainly include nickel-based, chromium-based, zirconium-based, and aluminum-based catalysts, etc. In recent years, the Brookhart group (Brookhart, M et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1998, 120, 7143 - 7144; WO99 / 02472, 1999), and the Gibson group (Gibson, V.C. et al, Chem. Commun., 1998, 849 - 850; Chem. Eur. J., 2000, 2221 - 2231) have respectively found that some tridentate pyridine imine complexes of Fe(II) and Co(II) can catalyze ethylene oligomerization. Not only is the catalytic activity of the catalyst very high, but also the selectivity of α-olefins is very high.

[0004] The Sun Wenhua research group of the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a catalyst for ethylene oligomerization (Organometallics 2006, 25, 666 - 677). This catalyst is iron(II) chloride-2-acetyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,6-dimethylaniline complex. Under the action of cocatalyst methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), when the molar ratio of metal aluminum in the cocatalyst to the central metal in the main catalyst is 1000, the oligomerization and polymerization activity reaches a maximum of 3.9×10 7 g·mol(Fe) -1 ·h -1 , and, as the reaction temperature further increases, both the activity and the distribution coefficient decrease. However, whether it is MAO or MMAO as the cocatalyst, there are problems of too high cost and too large dosage. When used as a cocatalyst in large-scale ethylene oligomerization, it will inevitably lead to high production costs.

[0005] In addition, the research group led by Sun Wenhua also made an attempt with inexpensive cocatalysts in Chinese Patent (CN1850339A). When using iron(II) chloride-2-acetyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,6-diethylaniline complex as the main catalyst and triethylaluminum as the cocatalyst, the catalytic activity was only 2.7×10 5 g·mol(Fe) -1 ·h -1 , which could not meet the industrial requirements. At the same time, for reaction temperatures below 40°C, chilled water is generally required as the reaction condensation medium, and a refrigeration unit needs to be equipped for refrigeration, increasing the process energy consumption. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a catalyst composition for olefin oligomerization, which has high catalytic activity, can reduce the yield of undesired C4 products, and at the same time increase the yield of desired C6-C 10 、C6-C 18 、C6-C 18 linear α-olefin products; more importantly, the catalyst composition provided by the present invention enables olefin oligomerization, especially ethylene oligomerization, to be carried out under relatively high temperatures (such as 60°C to 90°C) that are easy to achieve and operate. As a result, the ethylene oligomerization reaction involving the catalyst composition of the present invention can use condensed water as the cooling medium, greatly reducing the energy consumption.

[0007] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of the catalyst composition corresponding to the first objective.

[0008] A further objective of the present invention is to provide an application of the catalyst composition corresponding to the above objectives.

[0009] To achieve the first objective, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A catalyst composition for olefin oligomerization, comprising: a main catalyst represented by formula (I), an alkylaluminum compound, cyclohexane, and water,

[0011]

[0012] In formula (I), R1-R 11 are the same or different, and each independently selected from hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, halogen, C1-C6 alkoxy, and nitro; M is Fe(II), Co(II), or Ni(II).

[0013] In the prior art, aromatic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as toluene or expensive alkane organic solvents such as heptane are usually used in the catalyst composition for olefin oligomerization, especially ethylene oligomerization.

More importantly, the catalyst composition provided by the present invention enables the ethylene oligomerization reaction to be carried out under relatively high temperature conditions that are easy to achieve and operate, and thus the ethylene oligomerization reaction involving the catalyst composition of the present invention can use condensed water as a cooling medium, reducing energy consumption.

[0025] To achieve the second above-mentioned object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0026] A method for preparing a catalyst composition according to any one of the above embodiments, comprising:

[0027] Mix the main catalyst, the alkylaluminum compound, the cyclohexane and the water to obtain the catalyst composition.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the method for preparing the above-mentioned catalyst composition includes: mixing an aqueous cyclohexane solution, a cyclohexane solution containing the main catalyst, and a cyclohexane solution containing the alkylaluminum compound to obtain the catalyst composition.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0030] 1) Mix water and cyclohexane to obtain an aqueous cyclohexane solution;

[0031] 2) Add the cyclohexane solution containing the main catalyst to the aqueous cyclohexane solution;

However, the temperature range of 30°C to 40°C is difficult to achieve, and the operation difficulty in industry is relatively large. The present invention can be applied in a higher and more easily achievable temperature range, reducing the operation difficulty in industry. At the same time, since a higher temperature is required, condensed water can be used as the reaction heat removal medium.

[0043] Third, when the ethylene oligomerization reaction is carried out using the catalyst composition of the present invention, the yield of the undesired C4 product in the obtained ethylene oligomerization product is low, while the yields of the desired C6-C 10 、C6-C 18 、C6-C 18 linear α-olefin products are high. Specific Embodiments
