Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of olefin polymerization catalysts, and in particular to a solid catalyst component and a preparation method thereof, an olefin polymerization catalyst and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] At present, Ziegler-Natta polyethylene catalysts have made great progress in terms of activity, bulk density of powder, fine powder content, oligomers, etc., and basically meet the requirements of existing process production. With the continuous upgrading of the polyolefin industry structure, a large number of new process technologies have been built and put into production, as well as the development of new products, high-performance catalysts are needed to meet production needs. When producing bimodal resin products, a large amount of hydrogen needs to be added during the high melt index polymerization of existing domestic catalysts, which can easily cause problems such as decreased catalyst activity, increased ethylene ethane reaction, and short safe operation cycle of the device. The hydrogen adjustment of imported catalysts is too sensitive during the low melt index polymerization, the production equipment fluctuates greatly, the product quality is unstable, and it is difficult to produce high-value-added resins such as bimodal pipe materials for a long period of time. There are also problems such as short device operation cycle when producing bimodal film materials, especially the pipe products have flow lines and pitting. In order to better meet the needs of industrial production and produce resin products with better performance, it is necessary to provide catalyst products with better hydrogen adjustment performance while ensuring the basic performance of existing catalysts.
[0003] In the prior art, introducing some electron donors into olefin polymerization catalysts can improve the hydrogen regulation performance of the catalyst, such as the Chinese patents with publication numbers CN1958620A and CN103772536A, which respectively introduce silane electron donors and benzoate electron donors. Introducing other electron donors can improve the copolymerization performance of the catalyst, such as the Chinese patents with publication numbers CN1726230A, CN1798774A and CN101050248A, which respectively introduce electron donors such as alcohols, ketones, amines, amides, nitrile, alkoxysilane, aliphatic ethers and aliphatic carboxylates. Introducing certain electron donors into the catalyst can improve the activity of the catalyst, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN102977232A, which introduces halogenated alkanes.
[0004] The electron donors mentioned above can only improve the performance of olefin polymerization catalysts in a certain aspect and can no longer meet the needs of industrial production. It is necessary to find a type of electron donor that can give the catalyst the characteristics of high hydrogen and high melt index, and low hydrogen and low melt index, so as to meet the needs of industrial production equipment to produce single-peak high melt index products and multi-peak pipes, membrane materials and other products.
