Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalysts, specifically to an olefin polymerization catalyst component and its preparation method, an olefin polymerization catalyst and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, olefin polymerization catalysts are solid titanium catalyst components with magnesium, titanium, halogens, and electron donors as basic components. They can be used in the CH2=CHR olefin polymerization reaction, especially in the polymerization of α-olefins with three or more carbon atoms, where high yields and high stereoregularity of polymers can be obtained. Among them, electron donors are an essential component of the catalyst components, and the development of electron donor compounds has led to the continuous upgrading of Ziegler-Natta catalysts.

[0003] Previously, numerous electron-donating compounds were reported in the literature, such as polycarboxylic acids, mono- or polycarboxylic esters, acid anhydrides, ketones, mono- or poly-ethers, alcohols, amines, and their derivatives. Among these, diaromatic carboxylic esters were commonly used, such as di-n-butyl phthalate or diisobutyl phthalate (CN85100997A). Recent studies have found that phthalate esters pose health risks, and the United States, the European Union, and other regions have begun to restrict their use in plastics. Therefore, finding a novel internal electron-donating agent to replace phthalate esters is urgently needed.

[0004] Researchers have attempted to use other compounds as electron donors in olefin polymerization catalysts. US4971937, US2004014597, and EP728769 (see also CN1042547A, CN1143651A, US2003027715, and WO03076480) employ special 1,3-diether compounds as electron donors, such as 2,2-diisobutyl-1,3-dimethoxypropane, 2-isopropyl-2-isopentyl-1,3-dimethoxypropane, and 9,9-di(methoxymethyl)fluorene. These catalysts exhibit high activity, but the synthesis of 1,3-diether compounds is difficult and costly, hindering their widespread application.

[0005] The catalyst component disclosed in CN1054139A for olefin polymerization uses special 1,3-dione compounds as electron donors, such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptadecane and 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethyl-3,5-heptadecane, etc. The catalyst has low activity and low isotacticity of polypropylene.

[0006] In recent years, a special class of dialiphatic carboxylic acid esters and glycol esters, such as succinates, malonates, glutarates, ethylene glycol esters, propylene glycol esters, butylene glycol esters, pentylene glycol esters, and hexanediol esters, have been disclosed as internal electron donors in olefin polymerization catalysts (see CN201010199059.X, CN201010199066.X, CN1313869A, CN1236373A, CN1236374A, CN1552741A, CN1213080C, CN1542024A, CN1552742A, and CN1552740A). The use of these electron-donating compounds not only improves the catalyst activity but also significantly broadens the molecular weight distribution of the resulting polypropylene. However, without external electron-donating components, the isotacticity of the resulting polymer remains low.

[0007] US6818583 and WO2004024785 disclose substituted succinates as internal electron donors, which significantly broaden the molecular weight distribution of the resulting polypropylene. However, the activity of the catalyst is still not ideal, and the synthesis of substituted succinate compounds is difficult and costly.

[0008] Patent EP45977 discloses the use of unsubstituted maleic esters as internal electron donor compounds in the polymerization of olefins, but the results are poor in both activity and stereoregulation. Patent US5436213 involves unsubstituted and 2-methyl-unsubstituted maleic esters, but the catalyst performance, particularly activity, is poor. Japanese Patent JP58-138708 discloses an ester formed by an internal electron donor—a straight-chain alcohol and a substituted or unsubstituted maleic acid—but the catalyst performance is still unsatisfactory in terms of activity and stereoregulation.

[0009] Patents CN1714105A, EP2002010049 and WO2003022894 disclose a series of monosubstituted and disubstituted maleic esters. The catalysts described have good activity and stereodirection, but the compounds are difficult to synthesize and costly.

[0010] There is not much research on internal electron-donating compounds containing heteroatoms. Among them, Dow Global Technologies introduced heteroatoms into the main chain of diester compounds to synthesize a class of compounds containing silyl esters (see CN 102282181), but the catalysts prepared when used as electron donors have low activity.

[0011] The catalyst disclosed in patent CN201710144264.8 uses two different types of internal electron donors. One electron donor is a 2-substituted amino-phenyl ester compound, and the other electron donor is 9,9-di(methoxymethyl)fluorene, diol ester, or diester. This increases the cost and makes the synthesis of the electron donors more difficult, making it unsuitable for widespread application.

[0012] Patents CN201680026686.9 and US20180142044A1 disclose a series of catalysts containing alcohol ester-carbamate internal electron donors. These catalysts exhibit good activity and stereoregulation. However, due to the asymmetric chemical structure of these internal electron donor compounds, the activity, stereoregulation, and reproducibility of the resulting catalysts are poor. Furthermore, the synthesis methods for these internal electron donor compounds are complex, difficult, and costly.

[0013] Patent CN201780066463.X discloses a series of carbonate-urethane and aminobenzoate compounds as internal electron donors, but the resulting catalysts have very low activity.

[0014] Chinese patent CN101423571A discloses an internal electron donor for olefin polymerization catalysts, wherein the internal electron donor is a maleic ester containing a 5-norbornene structure. The resulting catalyst exhibits high activity and stereospecificity, but the molecular weight distribution of the resulting polymer is relatively narrow. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0050] This invention employs a hydrazine carbamate compound with a special nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure as an internal electron donor. On the one hand, the presence of two hydrazine amino groups increases the carbonyl electron cloud that interacts with magnesium and titanium. Simultaneously, the relationship between the connection position and structure of the norbornene structure in the electron donor and the hydrazine carbamate optimizes the steric hindrance and electron cloud effect, resulting in high catalyst activity. On the other hand, this compound retains the advantages of diester-type internal electron donors. These characteristics enable the catalyst disclosed in this invention to exhibit good sensitivity to hydrogen regulation when used for propylene (co)polymerization. This not only improves the catalyst activity and polymer isotacticity but also results in a wide molecular weight distribution when the obtained polymer has comparable isotacticity. Furthermore, the synthesis method of this compound is simple and easy to implement, facilitating its widespread application.

[0051] This invention uses hydrazine carbamate compounds with special nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structures as internal electron donors, resulting in excellent overall performance of the catalyst and facilitating the development of different polymer grades. Detailed Implementation

Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above description.

[0053] The synthetic route for the hydrazine carbamate compounds of this invention is shown below:

[0054]

[0055] Test method:

[0056] 1. Polymer molecular weight and molecular weight distribution (MWD = M w / M n): The determination was performed using gel permeation chromatography with o-dichlorobenzene as solvent at 135℃ using an Alliance-GPCV2000.

[0057] 2. Polymer isotacticity: The isotacticity is determined by the heptane extraction method (boiling heptane extraction for 8 hours). That is, 1 gram of dry polymer sample is placed in an extractor and extracted with boiling heptane for 8 hours. After drying the residue to constant weight, the ratio of the polymer weight (g) obtained to 1 is the isotacticity.

[0058] 3. Determination of polymer melt index (MI): Measured according to μPXRZ-400C.

[0059] 4. Determination of titanium percentage: determined by spectrophotometry.

[0060] 5. Determination of the percentage of internal electron donors: determined using a PE Autosystem XL gas chromatograph.

[0061] Preparation of MgCl2·2.8CH3CH2OH spherical support:

[0062] All operations for preparing the spherical support were performed under nitrogen protection.

[0063] Add 50g of anhydrous MgCl2, 80g of anhydrous ethanol and 1.2L of white oil to a 2L stainless steel reactor, heat to 120℃ with stirring (3000r / min), and continue stirring at high speed at 120℃ for 2 hours to obtain the ethanol complex of MgCl2.

[0064] Under nitrogen pressure, the ethanol complex of MgCl2 was slowly transferred through a stainless steel tube insulated at 120°C and with an inner diameter of 1 mm to a 5L stainless steel reactor that had been pre-filled with 2.5L of dry n-hexane and cooled to -40°C. After the transfer was completed, the temperature was raised to 0°C.

[0065] The sample was filtered, washed with n-hexane, and dried under vacuum to obtain 104 g of MgCl2·2.8C2H5OH spherical support.
