Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of olefin polymerization, and specifically relates to a method and apparatus for producing polyolefins. Background Technology

[0002] Polyethylene is a thermoplastic resin widely used in agriculture, petrochemicals, construction, and municipal engineering due to its excellent chemical stability, resistance to chemical corrosion, good processing performance, and superior electrical insulation. Polyethylene production processes include slurry processing, gas-phase processing, and solution processing. Compared to other processes, the slurry processing technology was developed earlier and boasts superior overall performance. The slurry polyethylene process primarily uses two or three reactors connected in series to produce high-density polyethylene grades, such as pipes, fibers, and hollow products. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and a broader market demand for polyolefin products, competition in the polyolefin industry is intensifying, leading to faster technological upgrades and product replacements. High-performance polyolefin grades have become a key research focus for the slurry polyethylene process.

[0003] The rapid development of gas-phase processes and catalysts in recent years has posed a strong challenge to existing slurry process equipment. Therefore, improving the performance of polyethylene produced by slurry process equipment and expanding the production range of the equipment are key focuses for industrial plants. In summary, this invention aims to develop a new slurry process for producing polyolefins, achieving the production of high-performance, high-value-added polyethylene products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method and apparatus for producing polyolefins.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for producing polyolefins: an oligomer is prepared into a mother liquor by mixing an oligomer with a solvent, wherein the oligomer has a molecular weight of 150-10000 g / mol, a molecular weight distribution range of 2-50, and a branching degree of 0.5-100C / 10000C; the mother liquor is introduced into a first reactor, where reactive monomers and a catalyst are introduced to the first reactor to produce a polymerization reaction and generate a first slurry containing a first polymer powder; the first slurry in the first reactor is introduced into a second reactor, where reactive monomers and a catalyst are simultaneously introduced to the second reactor to produce a second slurry containing a second polymer powder; the second slurry in the second reactor is introduced into a scrubber, where a solvent is introduced to the scrubber to dissolve the free low molecular weight polymers on the surface of the second polymer powder and / or the low molecular weight polymers suspended in the second slurry, resulting in a third slurry; the third slurry in the scrubber is introduced into a liquid-solid separator for liquid-solid separation; the liquid separated by the liquid-solid separator is refined by a solvent to obtain a solvent and a low molecular weight polymer; the solid separated by the liquid-solid separator is dried and sent to a granulation system to obtain a high-performance polyolefin product.

[0006] Secondly, the present invention provides another method for producing polyolefins: an oligomer is prepared by mixing an oligomer with a solvent to form a mother liquor, wherein the oligomer has a molecular weight of 150-10000 g / mol, a molecular weight distribution range of 2-50, and a branching degree of 0.5-100C / 10000C; the mother liquor is introduced into a first reactor, and reactive monomers and a catalyst are introduced into the first reactor to undergo a polymerization reaction to generate a first slurry containing a first polymer powder; the first slurry in the first reactor is introduced into a scrubber, and simultaneously a solvent is introduced into the scrubber to remove the free low molecular weight polymers and / or loose polymers on the surface of the first polymer powder. Alternatively, the low molecular weight polymer suspended in the first slurry is dissolved to obtain a third slurry; the third slurry in the washer is introduced into a liquid-solid separator; a reactive monomer and a catalyst are introduced into a second reactor to produce a polymerization reaction and generate a second slurry containing a second polymer powder; the second slurry in the second reactor is introduced into the liquid-solid separator, which mixes the third slurry and the second slurry and performs liquid-solid separation on the mixed slurry; the separated liquid is refined by solvent to obtain solvent and low molecular weight polymer, and the solid separated by the liquid-solid separator is dried and sent to a granulation system to obtain a high-performance polyolefin product.

[0010] It should be noted that, since oligomers may undergo slight changes in molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, or branching degree during the polymerization of polyolefins, the low molecular weight polymers in the above-described method of this invention refer to both oligomers that do not change during the reaction and those that undergo the aforementioned changes. These low molecular weight polymers may differ from the oligomers used to prepare the mother liquor. If the low molecular weight polymer obtained after solvent purification of the liquid (obtained from solid-liquid separation) in the aforementioned method meets the requirements of this invention for oligomers (molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, or branching degree), it can be reused for mother liquor preparation. However, if the low molecular weight polymer obtained does not meet the requirements of this invention, it cannot be directly reused.
