Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Due to its low specific gravity, low price, stable chemical properties, and high fabric filling effect, polypropylene is often used in the preparation of waterproof membranes in existing technologies. The main method is to mix polypropylene with asphalt and add antioxidants, flame retardants, fillers and other compounding agents for blending and modification.

[0003] However, polypropylene has a poor balance of stiffness and toughness and low notched impact strength, especially at low temperatures. These significant shortcomings limit its wider application. Therefore, improving the impact properties of polypropylene has become an important topic in polypropylene modification research.

[0004] At present, blending modification and catalytic polymerization are often used to improve the impact properties of polypropylene. Among them, the blending modified polypropylene is limited by the degree of dispersion of its system, which affects the overall performance, and increases the post-processing steps, resulting in higher costs. The traditional catalytic polymerization method mostly adopts dual-reactor multi-stage polymerization and introduces ethylene copolymerization. When the alloy content of the copolymer reaches a certain level, the balance of polypropylene rigidity and toughness can be achieved. However, when the ethylene content in the polypropylene is too high, it will lead to problems such as lower operating temperature.

[0005] Therefore, developing a method for continuously preparing polypropylene to obtain polypropylene materials with excellent rigidity-toughness balance and high notched impact strength is crucial for the industrial production of polypropylene materials. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of poor rigidity-toughness balance and low notched impact strength of polypropylene in the prior art.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for continuously preparing polypropylene in a first aspect, wherein the method is carried out in a device comprising at least two reactors connected in series, the method comprising:

[0008] (1) In the presence of a catalyst I, propylene or a first monomer composition containing propylene is introduced into a reactor I for polymerization reaction to obtain a first stream;

[0009] (2) In the presence of catalyst II, introducing the first stream and the second monomer composition into reactor II for contact reaction;

[0010] The catalyst I and the catalyst II are the same and are Ziegler-Natta type catalysts, wherein the catalyst I contains an organoaluminum compound, an external electron donor compound, an internal electron donor compound, and a titanium-containing solid active center component;

[0011] The first monomer composition further comprises ethylene and / or alpha olefin;

[0012] The second monomer composition contains propylene, ethylene and alpha olefin;

[0013] The alpha olefin is selected from C6-C 20 At least one of the alpha olefins.

[0014] The second aspect of the present invention provides polypropylene produced by the method described in the first aspect.

[0015] The third aspect of the present invention provides the use of the polypropylene described in the second aspect in a building waterproof membrane.

[0016] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an apparatus for continuously preparing polypropylene, comprising a reactor I and a reactor II connected in series, wherein the reactor I is provided with a catalyst I inlet, a propylene inlet or a first monomer composition inlet, and a first logistics outlet, and the reactor II is provided with a catalyst II inlet, a second monomer composition inlet, and a first logistics inlet connected to the first logistics outlet.

[0017] The method of the present invention is used to prepare polypropylene, which can effectively solve the problems of poor rigidity-toughness balance and low notched impact strength of polypropylene materials. The prepared polypropylene material has a uniform phase state and not only has the advantages of excellent rigidity-toughness balance and high notched impact strength, but also has good cohesiveness and surface tension.

[0018] In particular, the inventors also found that the present invention prepares polypropylene materials in an apparatus 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 of 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, which is conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0125] Test Case

[0126] The polypropylene products prepared in the examples and comparative examples were used to prepare waterproof membranes, and the prepared waterproof membranes were subjected to performance tests, including tensile strength, elongation at break and other properties. The tensile strength retention rate and elongation at break retention rate after aging treatment (heat aging test chamber, temperature of 115±2°C, aging time of 224 days) were calculated. The specific test results are shown in Table 2.

[0127] Among them, the preparation method of waterproof membrane-1 is as follows: at 180°C, 75g of polypropylene prepared in the embodiment, 25g of talcum powder and 7g of light stabilizer are introduced into the screw (extrusion temperature is 180°C, rotation speed is 65rpm) for stable extrusion, and enter the calendering roller (temperature is 60°C, pressure is 5MPa, and winding speed is 2m / min). After cooling to room temperature, it is cut to obtain an anti-seepage sheet with a thickness of 2mm.

[0128] The preparation method of waterproof membrane-2 is similar to that of waterproof membrane-1, except that EPDM is added to the formula. Specifically:

[0129] 30 g of polypropylene prepared in Comparative Example 1, 45 g of ethylene propylene rubber, 25 g of talc and 7 g of light stabilizer were introduced into a screw (extrusion temperature of 180 ° C, rotation speed of 65 rpm) for stable extrusion, and entered into a calendering roller (temperature of 60 ° C, pressure of 5 MPa, and curling speed of 2 m / min). After cooling to room temperature, it was cut to obtain an anti-seepage sheet with a thickness of 2 mm.

[0130] The tensile strength and elongation at break are tested according to the method specified in GB / T328.9-2007;

[0131] The calculation formula of tensile strength retention rate is: (tensile strength after aging treatment / tensile strength before aging treatment) × 100%;

[0132] The calculation formula for the elongation at break retention rate is: (elongation at break after aging treatment / elongation at break before aging treatment)×100%.

[0133] Table 2

[0134]

[0135] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that the waterproof roll formed by the polypropylene prepared by the method of the present invention requires fewer feeding times and does not require blending of two basic materials. While maintaining comparable mechanical properties, it has more excellent anti-aging performance.

[0136] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple variations of the technical solution of the present invention may be made, including combining the various technical features in any other appropriate manner. These simple variations and combinations should also be regarded as disclosed in the present invention and fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
