Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical engineering, and more specifically, to a multi-electron donor composition and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Ziegler-Natta propylene polymerization catalysts consist of a main catalyst, an internal electron donor, alkylaluminum, and an external electron donor. Currently, the main catalysts for industrial polypropylene production are MgCl2-supported Zn catalysts with aromatic carboxylic acid diesters as internal electron donors. These catalysts require the addition of external electron donors during polymerization to adjust the isotacticity of polypropylene and the catalyst's hydrogen sensitivity, which also has a certain impact on catalyst activity, the apparent density of polypropylene, and the copolymerization properties of propylene and ethylene.

[0003] Currently, external electron donors are mainly silanes containing 1 to 4 alkoxy groups, with dialkyldimethoxysilanes being the most commonly used. Different structures of external electron donors have varying effects on the isotacticity of polypropylene, the hydrogen sensitivity of the catalyst, and its activity. In polymerization reactions, increased temperature often leads to an increased polymerization rate and further increased heat release, frequently causing temperature runaway and making reactor control difficult. Since siloxane-based external electron donors cannot control temperature regulation during polymerization, researchers have sought to regulate the temperature by adding a second type of external electron donor to ensure stable polymerization.

[0004] A patent published by Dow Chemical Company (US7491670) indicates that the introduction of C 8-20 Fatty acid C 1-20 Alkyl esters can suppress the activity of propylene polymerization catalysts at high temperatures, forming a positive feedback loop in the reaction, stabilizing the polymerization temperature, and simplifying the reaction operation. The introduction of cinnamic acid esters (CN102391397B) and carbonates (CN104403028A) can also suppress the activity of propylene polymerization catalysts at high temperatures, while simultaneously improving the stereoregularity of the polymer to some extent.
