Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of polyolefin catalyst technology, in particular to a metallocene heterogeneous catalyst composition, a preparation method thereof and its application in ethylene-propylene copolymerization. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of metallocene complex catalysts, in addition to the classic bridged substituted cyclopentadiene (substituted-Cyclopentadienyl, Cp'), bridged substituted indene (substituted-Indenyl, Ind'), bridged substituted fluorenyl (substituted fluorenyl, Flu'), and the huge number of metallocene complexes formed by mutual combination between Cp' / Ind' / Flu' (Metallocenes: Synthesis, Reactivity, Applications, A. Togni and R. L. Halterman Eds, Wiley, 1998), in recent years, a certain number of metallocene complexes have introduced, for example, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, and other heteroatoms in the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp) or in the saturated or unsaturated ring adjacent to the Cp ring. The metallocene complex containing heteroatom ring or having special activity for olefin polymerization or special regioselectivity or stereoselectivity (C. De Rosa, F. Auriema, A. Di Capua, L. Resconi, S. Guidotti, I. Camurati, I. E. Nifant'ev, I. P. Laishevets, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 12, 17040).

[0003] For example, Canadian Patent Document CA 2204803 describes phosphorus heteroatom containing metallocene complexes and their excellent activity and molecular weight distribution in the catalysis of ethylene polymerization, as well as superior high temperature catalytic activity. Group IV element metallocene complex catalyst systems related thereto can catalyze the polymerization of ethylene at high temperatures to produce high molecular weight polyethylene. WO 9822486 and EP 9706297 describe a class of metallocene complexes containing oxygen and / or sulfur and / or nitrogen in a five-membered side ring adjacent to Cp, which when combined with methylaluminoxane (MAO) have very high activity in the polymerization of propylene. WO 0144318 describes metallocene complexes containing sulfur π-ligands and their process for the catalytic copolymerization of ethylene / propylene, but the resulting ethylene / propylene copolymers have a low molecular weight and are not of practical use. WO 03045964 describes a process for the preparation of a class of dimethylsilicon-bridged substituted thia-pentalene and substituted indene zirconocene metallocene complexes and their process for the catalytic copolymerization of ethylene / propylene. Using the process described in WO 03045964, the zirconocene metallocene complexes have very high activity in the polymerization and the resulting ethylene / propylene copolymers have a high molecular weight and the ethylene content of the copolymers is between 4 and 13 percent by weight, and the material properties are intermediate between RCP and TPE. US 6683150 discloses a class of bridged indenoindole derivatives as ligands for Group IV transition metallocene complex catalysts that catalyze the polymerization of propylene over a wide temperature range to produce high molecular weight polypropylene. WO 03089485 provides a class of nitrogen-containing π-ligand Group IV transition metallocene complexes in combination with methylaluminoxane (MAO) to form a catalytic system characterized by the use of very low aluminum / metal ratios and high activity, and when combined with a suitable support, can produce high molecular weight linear low density polyethylene (mLLDPE). WO 9924446 describes a class of nitrogen heteroatom-containing π-ligands in combination with Group IV transition metals to form metallocene complexes. These metallocene complexes are not only simple to synthesize and have high yields, but when activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) are excellent olefin polymerization catalysts that can produce high molecular weight polyethylene and polypropylene, respectively.

[0004] In polymerization production application, metallocene catalysts as homogeneous catalysts, the polymer product morphology produced is poor, and the polymerization kettle and device are prone to be blocked during polymerization and product conveying, which is poor in adaptability to industrial device, causing difficulty in industrial use, so it is needed to be loaded on solid catalyst for application. Silica gel is a widely used carrier because it has high specific surface area, good fluidity, suitable bulk density, suitable average particle size and particle size distribution, and suitable mechanical strength. However, its disadvantage is that the activity is not ideal because in the loading process, the metal catalyst ligand can react with the hydroxyl group on the carrier, causing the ligand to fall off, resulting in part of the catalyst losing activity, and the catalyst can also react with other parts of the carrier. In addition, the existing metallocene catalysts described above are single active center catalysts, which can generate narrow molecular weight distribution high molecular weight polypropylene through propylene homopolymerization, but it is difficult to produce polypropylene with a wide molecular weight distribution in a single kettle. Only using a silica gel carrier only provides a loading effect and cannot introduce additional active centers, so it is a technical problem to be solved at present to improve the polymer product morphology and the polymerization activity while realizing single-kettle production of polypropylene with a wide molecular weight distribution. SUMMARY

[0070] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0071] Because single-reactor processes are simpler and less expensive, the production of polypropylene with a wide molecular weight distribution using a single reactor has been a key focus in the industry. The key to this technology lies in the catalyst system having at least two active sites, and the resulting polymers from propylene polymerization exhibiting significant differences in molecular weight, thus yielding polypropylene products with a wide molecular weight distribution. Using binuclear catalysts or mixtures of two metallocene catalysts is costly and cannot meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. Furthermore, existing methods reported in the literature that utilize a mixture of metallocene and Ziegler-Natta catalysts lack control over the morphology of the polypropylene produced by the metallocene catalyst, resulting in a mixture of polypropylene particles from the Ziegler-Natta catalyst and polypropylene powder from the metallocene catalyst, which is not conducive to industrial implementation.

[0072] The present application loads the metallocene complex with specific structure on the magnesium alcohol carrier containing Ti active center, can have two metal active centers in a single kettle at the same time, the catalyst composition is high in activity, the polymer prepared by using the catalyst composition has less fine powder, regular particle, high bulk density, and compared with the silica gel loaded metallocene catalyst, the polypropylene has wider molecular weight distribution, the polymer product morphology is improved, the polymerization activity is improved, and the single kettle production of wide molecular weight distribution is realized.

[0132]

[0133] Note: M w / M nThe ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight, used to represent the relative molecular mass distribution of the polymer.

[0134] From the experimental data in Table 2 above, it can be seen that the catalyst composition in Comparative Example 5 does not contain magnesium compound and titanium compound, and the final polymer prepared has poor flowability, is lumped, and the bulk density cannot be measured; the catalyst composition prepared in Comparative Example 6 uses ethyldiindenyl zirconium dichloride as the main catalyst, and the activity of the obtained catalyst composition is low; the catalyst composition prepared in Comparative Example 7 uses a ball milling method to prepare the Mg-Ti adduct, and the activity of the obtained catalyst composition is lower, the fine powder content is high, and the bulk density is lower; the magnesium compound and the titanium compound in the catalyst composition of the present application cooperate with each other, which can improve the polymer morphology and increase the bulk density. As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-4 and Examples 1-4, the magnesium compound and the titanium compound in the catalyst composition of the present application combine with other components, and the components cooperate with each other, which can significantly improve the activity of the catalyst composition, reduce the fine powder content, and broaden the molecular weight distribution. The catalyst compositions in Examples 34-37 contain triethylaluminum, and the catalyst compositions in Examples 38-41 contain triethylaluminum and organosilane. Compared with Examples 1-4, the catalyst composition added with organoaluminum compound and / or organosilane has higher catalytic activity, increases the bulk density of the prepared polymer, reduces the fine powder content, improves the polymer morphology (the polymer morphology can be reflected from the bulk density and the fine powder content, the high bulk density indicates that the particle morphology is more regular, and the low fine powder content indicates that the particle is less complete and broken), and broadens the molecular weight distribution.

[0135] Of course, the present application can have other various embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present application without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
