Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer production, and in particular to polypropylene and applications thereof, and a method and system for continuously preparing polypropylene. Background Art

[0002] Ordinary polypropylene chains have a linear structure and a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution, making them susceptible to a sharp drop in melt viscosity during the thermoforming process, known as sag. Due to this sag, polypropylene can become dimensionalally non-uniform during extrusion and subsequent processing.

[0003] To overcome these drawbacks, existing technologies often improve the melt strength of polypropylene by increasing relative molecular weight, broadening relative molecular weight distribution, introducing long-chain branching, and crosslinking. These methods all improve the sag of polypropylene by strengthening the forces between polypropylene chains. Therefore, existing technologies often use reactive extrusion to introduce long-chain branching. By incorporating functional monomers, such as pentaerythritol triacrylate, this structure can, to some extent, overcome the dimensional non-uniformity that occurs during polypropylene processing.

[0004] However, the reactive extrusion method is a modification based on the traditional method of preparing polypropylene. During the subsequent processing, polypropylene will degrade inside the screw. Moreover, the post-processing process increases the overall time cost and processing cost of the material, resulting in limited processing capacity. In addition, small molecules may remain inside the material after processing using this method, which can easily cause the material to break during the long-term aging process.

[0005] Therefore, developing a method for continuously preparing polypropylene to obtain polypropylene materials with anti-sag properties is crucial for the industrial production of polypropylene materials. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the polypropylene obtained in the prior art is prone to sag.

[0007] In order to achieve one of the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for continuously preparing polypropylene in a system comprising at least two reactors connected in series, the method comprising:

[0008] (1) In the presence of a solvent, a catalyst and a diene monomer are contacted and mixed to obtain a suspension; the diene monomer is selected from C6-C 20 At least one of the symmetrical non-conjugated α-diolefins;

[0009] (2) introducing the suspension, propylene monomer I, and ethylene monomer I into a reactor I to carry out a polymerization reaction I to obtain a first stream; the molar ratio of the propylene monomer I to the ethylene monomer I is 1:0.1-0.6;

[0010] (3) introducing the first stream, propylene monomer II and ethylene monomer II into a reactor II to carry out polymerization reaction II; the molar ratio of the propylene monomer II to the ethylene monomer II is 1:0.01-0.3.

[0011] The second aspect of the present invention provides polypropylene produced by the method described in the first aspect.

[0012] The third aspect of the present invention provides use of the polypropylene described in the second aspect in a foaming material.

[0013] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a system for continuously preparing polypropylene, comprising a catalyst reactor, a reactor I and a reactor II connected in series, wherein the catalyst reactor is provided with a solvent inlet, a catalyst inlet, a diene monomer inlet and a suspension outlet; the reactor I is provided with inlets for propylene monomer I and ethylene monomer I, a first logistics outlet, and a suspension inlet connected to the suspension outlet; and the reactor II is provided with inlets for propylene monomer II and ethylene monomer II, and a first logistics inlet connected to the first logistics outlet.

[0014] The method of the present invention is used to prepare polypropylene, which can effectively solve the problem that polypropylene materials are prone to sag. The prepared polypropylene material has the advantages of anti-sag and good dimensional stability. At the same time, the polypropylene also has good aging resistance.

[0015] In particular, the present invention prepares polypropylene in a system containing at least two reactors connected in series, which is not limited by the output of the screw extruder, effectively solving the problem of limited processing capacity in traditional methods. In addition, the preparation process is simple, no by-products are generated throughout the entire process, the cleanliness level is high, and the production cost can be effectively reduced, making large-scale industrial production possible.
