Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of olefin catalytic polymerization, specifically to a silane compound, a catalyst composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Solid catalysts, with magnesium, titanium, halogens, and electron donors as basic components, can be used in the polymerization of ethylene or propylene. When used in propylene polymerization, both an alkylaluminum co-catalyst and an external electron donor component must be added simultaneously. Without an external electron donor, most catalysts produce polymers with low isotacticity, typically below 90%, which is detrimental to industrial production and polymer applications. Therefore, the addition of an external electron donor plays a crucial role in most propylene polymerization catalysts.

[0003] Patent CN111978346A uses an aromatic amino-siloxane compound as an external electron donor, which improves the hydrogen sensitivity of the catalyst and is used to prepare high-flow polypropylene materials. However, the isotacticity of the prepared polypropylene is relatively low. Patent CN1583805B discloses a new type of siloxane compound as an external electron donor component in olefin polymerization catalysts. When using this external electron donor for propylene polymerization, the hydrogen sensitivity is improved, but the improvement is small. Patent CN109535287A selects siloxane, glycerol fatty acid esters containing polar groups, and polyglycerol fatty acid esters as external electron donor components, which solves the problem of activity shift caused by ethers in catalytic polymerization. It is suitable for propylene polymerization in various processes. However, this external electron donor contains three compounds, making the process technology complex and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0137] Table 1 Results of olefin polymerization

[0138]

[0139] As can be seen from the polymerization experiment results in Table 1, using the novel silane compound of this invention as the external electron donor, the catalyst activity and isotacticity of the resulting polymer product are basically the same as those of the most commonly used organosiloxane external electron donor in industry used in the comparative example. However, when using the novel silane compound of this invention as the external electron donor, the melt index of the polypropylene obtained from the propylene polymerization reaction is significantly higher than that of the comparative example under different hydrogen conditions, and the growth rate of the polymer melt index is significantly faster than that of the comparative example as the amount of hydrogen added increases. This indicates that the novel silane compound of this invention as the external electron donor catalyst for propylene polymerization has excellent hydrogen regulation sensitivity; moreover, the catalyst activity and isotacticity of polypropylene are also relatively high, and it can be used to prepare polypropylene materials with high flowability and high isotacticity.
