Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a catalyst component for olefin polymerization and its preparation method, belonging to the field of olefin polymerization. Background Technology
[0002] As the demand for polyolefins increases, the requirements for olefin polymerization catalysts are also becoming more stringent. Currently, the most widely used catalyst is the Ziegler-Natta catalyst supported on magnesium chloride. Chinese patents CN85100997A and CN1453298A disclose catalyst preparation methods that generally consist of a solid catalyst component composed of magnesium, titanium, halogens, and electron-donating organic compounds. However, meeting various performance requirements, such as high stereoregularity, high catalyst activity, and low ash content, makes the preparation of such a catalyst component very difficult.
[0003] The stereotactic orientation of a catalyst determines the isotactic index of the polymer, which is an important performance indicator. A higher isotactic index for polypropylene indicates greater regularity and crystallinity, leading to increased mechanical properties such as hardness, stiffness, modulus, fracture strength, and yield strength. Melting point, thermal stability, aging resistance, and radiation resistance also improve accordingly. Therefore, researchers have been conducting extensive research to improve the stereotactic orientation of catalysts. Some studies use catalysts containing two (or more) internal electron donors in combination to compensate for the shortcomings of catalysts containing only a single internal electron donor, thereby improving catalyst performance. However, the effect of combination is not a simple superposition of the properties of several electron donors. For example, polypropylene obtained using a monocarboxylic acid ester as an internal electron donor generally has low isotacticity, requiring the removal of atactic compounds. While WO03002617 discloses a catalyst composition and catalyst for olefin polymerization obtained by using a combination of monocarboxylic acid esters and dicarboxylic acid esters, the stereotactic orientation and polymerization activity of this catalyst are still not very high. CN101643519A discloses a method for preparing a catalyst component for olefin polymerization. The titanium-containing catalyst component is formed by dissolving magnesium halide in an organic epoxide compound and an organophosphorus compound to form a homogeneous solution. This solution is mixed with titanium tetrahalide or its derivatives, and a solid precipitates in the presence of polyester compounds. At least one surface modifier, at least one titanium halide or its derivative, and an electron donor compound are then loaded onto the solid precipitate. The catalyst is washed with a diluent to obtain the final product. The preparation process of this catalyst is relatively complex, involves a wide variety of raw materials, and has a long reaction process. The activity and stereospecificity of propylene polymerization need to be improved, and the hydrogen sensitivity is not ideal.
[0004] Isotactic polybutene-1 possesses excellent mechanical properties, outstanding creep resistance, low-temperature fluidity, and resistance to environmental stress cracking, as well as abrasion resistance, flexibility, and high filler capacity. Compared to other polyolefins, polybutene-1 exhibits the best resistance to stress cracking and significantly higher creep resistance than polyethylene or polypropylene. Particularly under stress not exceeding the yield point, its outstanding creep resistance remains unchanged up to 110°C. Furthermore, isotactic polybutene-1 maintains excellent mechanical properties under heated conditions; its heat resistance allows for long-term use at 80-890°C, with an upper limit of 110°C for use in hot water. Its abrasion resistance is comparable to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, giving it a unique advantage in hot water pipe applications.
[0005] However, due to limitations in catalyst level and polymerization process, polybutene-1 has always had low polymerization activity and insufficient stereoregularity, often requiring deashing or removal of atactic substances. Furthermore, the complex polymerization process has resulted in excessively high prices for polybutene-1 polymer products, limiting its widespread application and development.
[0006] The preparation methods of isotactic polybutene-1 generally include gas-phase methods and liquid-phase methods using hydrocarbons as solvents or butene-1 monomers as solvents. In liquid-phase polymerization, the currently disclosed processes often use butene-1 monomer itself as the solvent or reaction medium to solve the problem of product separation after polymerization. Polymerization is carried out under the combined action of titanium trichloride as the main catalyst and diethylaluminum chloride (DEAC) as the co-catalyst. In some cases, a mixture of diethylaluminum iodide and DEAC is also used, such as the method disclosed in European Patent EP187034. However, the polymerization activity of this process system is low, and the stereoregularity of the obtained polybutene-1 is not high enough. It often requires deashing or removal of atactic compounds, and the post-polymerization processing is complex, and the performance of the obtained polymer is not ideal. The polybutene-1 prepared using patent US6306996 has improved isotacticity to 95% and activity to 14000 g / gcat.4h. However, due to the high ash content of the obtained polymer, the isotacticity and polymerization activity are not ideal, and the performance of the obtained polymer is not satisfactory.
[0007] In the preparation of α-olefin polymerization catalysts, the particle morphology of alkoxymagnesium powder faithfully reflects the particle morphology of the catalyst. Preparing alkoxymagnesium supports with good particle morphology and uniform particle size, and then using these supports to develop catalyst components with high activity, high stereotacticity, and hydrogen sensitivity, is a valuable endeavor. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing catalysts, this invention provides alkoxymagnesium particles, an olefin polymerization catalyst component, and an olefin polymerization catalyst. The catalyst component of this invention exhibits high polymerization activity, good hydrogen regulation sensitivity, and a high polymer isotactic index during the polymerization of α-olefins.
[0009] The alkoxy magnesium particles provided by the present invention comprise the reaction product of the following components: 1) magnesium powder, 2) mixed alcohol, 3) halogenating agent and 4) crosslinking agent, wherein the crosslinking agent comprises titanate compounds.
[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the titanate compound is shown in Formula I:
[0011] (R 1 O) a Ti(OR 2 ) b (OR 3 ) c X d Formula I
[0012] In Equation I, R 1 R 2 and R 3 The groups can be the same or different, selected from H and alkyl groups, especially C1-C10 alkyl groups, where X is selected from alkoxy, carboxyl, chlorine, sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfate groups, and a, b, c, and d are independent integers from 0 to 4, and a+b+c+d=4. Preferably, the titanate ester is selected from at least one of tetramethyl titanate, tetraethyl titanate, tetrapropyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate, tetrapentyl titanate, tetrahexyl titanate, tetraheptyl titanate, tetraisooctyl titanate, tetranonyl titanate, tetradecyl titanate, and their isomers. Preferably, it is one or more of tetraethyl titanate, tetraisopropyl titanate, and tetrabutyl titanate.
[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the weight ratio of the titanate compound to magnesium powder is (0.01-5):1, preferably (0.05-2):1.
[0014] The magnesium powder used in this invention can be of any shape, such as granular, ribbon-like, or powdered, provided that its reactivity is good. To ensure good reactivity, the magnesium powder is preferably spherical with an average particle size of less than 360 μm. Furthermore, the surface of the magnesium powder is not particularly limited, but the formation of a hydroxide or other coating on the surface will slow down the reaction. Therefore, it is desirable for the oxide film on the magnesium powder surface to be as thin as possible. According to the invention, the thickness of the magnesium powder oxide film is less than 0.5 micrometers.
[0015] The mixed alcohols used in this invention are straight-chain or branched monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, preferably C1-C. 10A mixture of alcohols. C1-C 10 Specific examples of alcohols include: methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, n-heptanol, n-octanol, n-nonanol, n-decanol, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 2-hexanol, 2-heptanol, 2-octanol, 2-nonanol, 2-decanol, 2-ethylbutanol, 2-ethylhexanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, 3,3,5-trimethylpentanol, 4-methyl-3-heptanol, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol, 1-phenyl-1-propanol, ethylene glycol, or glycerol, etc.
[0016] According to embodiments of the present invention, the mixed alcohol is a mixture of ethanol and isooctanol. According to some preferred embodiments, in the mixed alcohol, ethanol accounts for 80-99 wt% and isooctanol accounts for 1-20 wt%. The present invention does not particularly limit the water content of the alcohol; however, to obtain good alkoxymagnesium properties, a lower water content is preferred. The water content in the alcohol is generally controlled below 1000 ppm, preferably below 200 ppm.
[0017] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of the mixed alcohol to magnesium is (2-50):1, preferably (2.5-18):1.
[0018] According to embodiments of the present invention, the halogenating agent is an elemental halogen and / or an inorganic halide, preferably selected from at least one of elemental iodine, bromine, chlorine, magnesium chloride, magnesium bromide, magnesium iodide, calcium chloride, calcium bromide, calcium iodide, mercuric chloride, mercuric bromide, mercuric iodide, and alkoxymagnesium halides; more preferably selected from at least one of elemental iodine, magnesium iodide, magnesium chloride, and alkoxymagnesium halides; particularly preferably a mixture of elemental iodine and magnesium chloride. Elemental iodine or magnesium chloride can be used in the reaction in pure form or in solution form. Elemental iodine and magnesium chloride can be added to the reaction system separately, or partially or completely mixed together and added to the reaction system.
[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of the halogenating agent to magnesium powder, based on halogen atoms, is (0.0002-0.2):1, preferably (0.0025-0.05):1. The inventors have discovered that the amount of halogen atoms added affects the final particle morphology and particle size of the alkoxymagnesium. When the amount of halogen atoms used is too small, the resulting alkoxymagnesium particles have extremely poor morphology; if the amount of halogen atoms used is too large, not only will the cost of preparing alkoxymagnesium increase, but the particle size of the alkoxymagnesium will also be very uneven, and the reaction will be difficult to control.
[0020] The order in which the reactants are added can be determined as needed. Specifically, there are no particular restrictions on the method of adding titanate compounds and halogenating agents. They can be added dissolved in ethanol, or directly added to magnesium powder and alcohol in solid or liquid form. Alternatively, the halogenating agent in alcohol solution can be added dropwise while heating the magnesium powder and alcohol solution.
[0021] All reactions in this invention are carried out in an inert gas atmosphere, such as argon or nitrogen, with nitrogen being the preferred gas in this invention.
[0022] Furthermore, for the addition of magnesium powder, mixed alcohols, halogenated substances, and inert solvents, the reactants can be added all at once initially, or they can be added in stages. Adding the raw materials in stages prevents the instantaneous generation of large amounts of hydrogen gas and the resulting droplets of alcohols or halogens. From a safety perspective, this method of addition is preferred. The number of stages can be determined based on the reactor size and the amount of each material used.
[0023] The reaction temperature of this invention can be carried out at 0°C or the reflux temperature of the reaction system. Small changes in reaction pressure will cause changes in the reflux temperature; the higher the selected reaction temperature, the faster the reaction proceeds. The reaction temperature can also be varied during the reaction, and the particle size and morphology can be altered by selecting the appropriate reaction temperature. The preferred reaction temperature of this invention is the reflux temperature of the reaction system.
[0024] The extent of the reaction is determined by observing the amount of hydrogen emitted during the reaction; the reaction time is typically 2-30 hours. According to an embodiment of the invention, the product is either dried or suspended in a dispersant.
[0025] After the reaction, the product can be washed with the alcohol and / or mixture of alcohols used to prepare magnesium alkoxy; it can also be washed with the organic solvent used in the reaction; depending on the specific circumstances, washing may be optional, and there are no particular limitations on the method and number of washing treatments.

The aforementioned polymethylhydrosiloxanes, also known as hydrosilicone oils, have different number-average molecular weights and viscosities due to differences in their average degree of polymerization (n value), but all possess the functions and effects described in this invention and are preferred polymers a1 in this invention. For example, polymethylhydrosiloxanes with a number-average molecular weight Mn=1700-3200 (n=29-55, viscosity 12-45 cSt, Sigma-Aldrich) and Mn≈390 (n≈6, Sigma-Aldrich) are preferred polymers a1 in this invention.

[0093] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0094] It should be noted that the evaluation of the alkoxymagnesium particles and polyolefins prepared in the embodiments of the present invention was carried out using the following methods:
[0095] 1. The particle size and particle size distribution of magnesium dialkoxy and catalyst were measured using the Malvern Mastersizer™ 2000 hexane dispersant laser diffraction method, where SPAN = (D90-D10) / D50.
[0096] 2. The content of internal electron donors in the olefin polymerization catalyst components was determined by gas chromatography.
[0097] 3. The activity of the polymer is calculated by dividing the weight of the final polymer by the weight of the initially added catalyst components.
[0098] 4. Determination of polymer melt index: determined according to GB / T3682-2000.
[0099] 5. The isotactic index (II) of polypropylene is tested as follows: 2 grams of dry polymer sample is placed in an extractor and extracted with boiling heptane for 6 hours. The residue is then dried to constant weight, and the isotacticity is calculated using the following formula:
[0100] Isotacticity II = Mass of extracted polymer / 2 × 100%.
[0101] 6. The isotactic index (II) of polybutene-1 is tested as follows: 3 grams of the sample is dried in a vacuum oven at 75-75°C for 60 minutes. The polybutene-1 sample is then moistened with ether in an extractor and extracted with ether by boiling for 12 hours. The residue is then dried to constant weight, and the isotacticity is calculated using the following formula:
[0102] Isotacticity II = mass of polybutene-1 after extraction / 3 × 100%.
[0103] 7. Propylene Polymerization: In a 5-liter high-pressure reactor, nitrogen gas was used to purge the mixture at 70°C for 1 hour. Then, at room temperature, 5 mL of a triethylaluminum solution in hexane (0.5 mmol / mL), 1 mL of a cyclohexylmethyldimethoxysilane (CHMMS) solution in hexane (0.10 mmol / mL), 10 mL of anhydrous hexane, and 10 mg of solid catalyst were introduced into the nitrogen gas stream. The high-pressure reactor was closed, and 4.5 L (under standard conditions) of hydrogen and 2.0 L of liquid propylene were introduced. The temperature was raised to 70°C within 10 minutes with stirring. After polymerization at 70°C for 2 hours, stirring was stopped, unpolymerized propylene monomers were removed, and the polymer was collected for testing.
[0104] 8. Butene-1 Polymerization: Use a 5L high-pressure polymerization reactor. After pressurizing and leak testing, and verifying that the reactor is airtight, start the reactor stirrer and adjust the speed to 100rpm. Heat the polymerization reactor to 70℃~75℃, use a vacuum pump to statically evacuate for at least 2 minutes, and fully purge the reactor with nitrogen at least 5 times. Then, purge the reactor with nitrogen to 0.05MPa~0.10MPa.
[0105] Under nitrogen protection, the prepared triisobutylaluminum solution and dicyclopentyldimethoxysilane solution were added to the feeder. Using a syringe containing a catalyst sample (mass m0), the mixture in the feeder was drawn up and added to the mixture. The feed valve between the polymerization reactor and the feeder was opened, and the mixture containing the catalyst was added to the reactor. The syringe was rinsed with 5 mL of hexane and added to the polymerization reactor. The feed valve and vent valve were then closed. The hydrogen valve was opened, and 0.85 L (under standard conditions) of hydrogen was added. The hydrogen valve was then closed. The liquid butene-1 feed valve was opened, and 2.3 L of liquid butene-1 was added. The feed valve was then closed. The stirring speed was adjusted to 300 rpm, and the reactor was heated using the temperature-regulating water system. Timing was started when the reactor temperature reached 70°C, and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour. The reactor temperature was maintained between 70°C and 71°C using the temperature-regulating water system.
