AI Technical Summary
Existing metallocene catalysts require large amounts of methylaluminoxane or borate reagents in olefin polymerization, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, homogeneous catalysts are prone to clogging of polymerization reactors and equipment, affecting industrial applications.
By employing metallocene complex catalysts containing fluorinated silica gel particles as supports, the use of methylaluminoxane or borate reagents is reduced or avoided. Through the combination of metallocene complexes defined in chemical formula (I) and π-ligands, a highly efficient olefin polymerization catalyst is formed.
It reduced catalyst costs, improved polymer morphology, reduced the risk of equipment blockage, and enhanced catalytic activity and industrial adaptability.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a metallocene catalyst composition, a method of preparation and its use in the polymerization of olefins. BACKGROUND
[0002] Based on the rich substitution chemistry on the indenyl ring (Halterman, R. L. Chem. Rev. 1992, 92, 965), the infinite combination of the 1stto 7thsubstituents on the indenyl ring, and its potential scientific, technical and commercial values, the third and fourth group metallocene complexes of substituted indenyl ligands, especially the bridged fourth group transition metallocene complexes of substituted indenyl ligands, have been paid great attention in the past three decades (Luigi Resconi, Luigi Cavallo, Anna Fait, and Fabrizio Piemontesi, Chemical Reviews 2000, 100, 1253). The fourth group transition metallocene complexes of bridged substituted indenyl ligands actually constitute the mainstream of metallocene chemistry, not only providing a large number of powerful experimental basis for the development of metal organic chemistry theory, but also providing a number of catalysts with special properties for the polyolefin industry and high selectivity organic synthesis chemistry (Metallocenes in Regio-and Stereoselective Synthesis, T. Takahashi Ed, Springer, 2005). In short, the development of metallocene complex catalysts has contributed a lot to the elucidation of the mechanism of stereospecific polymerization of α-olefins, the enrichment of the variety and specifications of polyolefin materials, and the provision of new polyolefin materials with special properties (-Based Polyolefin; J. Scheirs and W. Kaminsky Eds. Wiley, 2000.).
[0003] In the development of metallocene catalysts, in addition to the classical bridged substituted cyclopentadienyl (Cp'), bridged substituted indenyl (Ind'), bridged substituted fluorenyl (Flu'), and their combinations between Cp' / Ind' / Flu' to form a large group of metallocene complexes (Metallocenes: Synthesis, Reactivity, Applications, A. Togni and R. L. Halterman Eds, Wiley, 1998), in recent years, a certain number of metallocene complexes have been introduced with heteroatoms such as nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, etc. in the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp) or in the saturated or unsaturated ring adjacent to the Cp ring. The metallocene complexes containing heteroatom-containing rings either have special activity for olefin polymerization or have special regio- 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). For example, CA2204803 describes metallocene complexes containing phosphorus heteroatoms and their excellent activity and molecular weight distribution for catalyzing ethylene polymerization, as well as outstanding high-temperature catalytic activity. The fourth group element metallocene complex catalyst system related thereto can catalyze the polymerization of ethylene at high temperature to produce high molecular weight polyethylene. WO9822486 and EP9706297 describe a class of metallocene complexes containing oxygen or / and sulfur or / and nitrogen in the five-membered side ring adjacent to Cp. Such complexes have extremely high activity for the polymerization of propylene when combined with methylaluminoxane (MAO). WO0144318 describes metallocene complexes containing sulfur π-ligands and their process for catalyzing the copolymerization of ethylene / propylene, but the resulting ethylene / propylene copolymer has low molecular weight and is not practically useful. WO03045964 describes a process for preparing a class of dimethylsilicon-bridged substituted sulfur pentalene and substituted indene zirconocene metallocene complexes and their process for catalyzing the copolymerization of ethylene and propylene. With the process described in WO03045964, such zirconocene metallocene complexes have very high polymerization activity, and the resulting ethylene / propylene copolymer has high molecular weight, and the content of ethylene in the copolymer is between 4% and 13% by weight, and the material properties are between RCP and TPE.
[0004] US 6,756,455 describes a class of nitrogen-containing π-ligand metallocene complexes, particularly bridged indeno pyrazole derivatives and bridged indeno indole derivatives complexed to metallocene complexes catalysts. Such metallocene complex catalysts have high activity, high molecular weight, and under appropriate conditions, bimodal molecular weight distribution when used for ethylene homopolymerization. US 6,683,150 discloses fourth group transition metallocene complex catalysts with bridged indeno indole derivatives as ligands, which catalyze propylene polymerization over a wide temperature range to produce high molecular weight polypropylene in numerous examples. WO 03 / 089485 provides a class of nitrogen-containing π-ligand fourth group 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 to produce high molecular weight linear low density polyethylene (mLLDPE) when combined with an appropriate support. WO 99 / 24446 describes a class of nitrogen-containing heteroatom π-ligands to form metallocene complexes with fourth group transition metals. Such metallocene complexes are not only simple to synthesize and have high yield, but also are excellent olefin polymerization catalysts after activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO), modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) or borate reagents to produce high molecular weight polyethylene and polypropylene, respectively.
[0005] In polymerization production applications, in order to obtain higher catalytic activity, the amount of aluminoxane reagent or borate reagent used in combination with the metallocene complex is large, and the molar ratio to the metallocene complex often reaches more than 500 times, and sometimes even as high as several thousand times. The aluminoxane reagent or borate reagent is expensive, and the large amount used leads to high production cost of the metallocene catalyst; in addition, the metallocene catalyst is a homogeneous catalyst, and the morphology of the produced polymer product is poor, which easily causes the polymerization kettle and device to be blocked during polymerization and product transportation, and the adaptability to industrial devices is poor, which causes difficulties in industrial use. Therefore, in order to ensure the polymerization activity level of the metallocene catalyst, reduce or even avoid the use of aluminoxane reagent and borate reagent, and improve the polymer morphology, it is an urgent technical problem to be improved or solved in the industrial application process of such catalysts.

[0110] The molar ratio of LA to the metallocene complex is 100–300.
[0111] This invention relates to a method for preparing the above-mentioned olefin polymerization catalyst composition, comprising: mixing a main catalyst, a fluorinated silica gel support, and a Lewis acidic substance LA in a homogeneous liquid medium in any order for reaction, wherein the homogeneous liquid medium includes a saturated alkane liquid medium and an aromatic liquid medium, wherein the saturated alkanes include pentane and its isomers, hexane and its isomers, heptane and its isomers, and octane and its isomers, and the aromatic liquid medium includes benzene, toluene, xylene and its isomers, trimethylbenzene and its isomers, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene and its isomers, fluorobenzene, difluorobenzene and its isomers, and polyfluorobenzene and its isomers.
[0112] The reaction temperature ranges from -75℃ to 150℃.
[0113] The reaction time ranges from 1 minute to 8 hours.
[0114] The present invention also relates to the application of the above-described catalyst composition in the polymerization of olefins CH2=CHR, wherein R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group containing 1-12 carbon atoms.
[0115] The olefins are selected from ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-heptene, 1-nonene, 1-decene, 3-methyl-1-butene and 4-methyl-1-pentene, butadiene, hexadiene, vinylcyclopentene and vinylcyclohexene.
[0116] The metallocene catalyst composition described above in this invention is generally suitable for bulk slurry polymerization processes for olefin polymerization. With appropriate polymerization conditions and catalyst adjustments, it can also be applied to solvent slurry polymerization or gas-phase polymerization processes.
[0117] By using fluorinated silica gel as a support to support the metallocene complexes described in this invention, the homogeneous catalytic system is transformed into a heterogeneous catalytic system, further improving the polymer product morphology, increasing the product's bulk density and flowability, and greatly reducing the risk of clogging in the polymerization unit. Furthermore, fluorinated silica gel provides sufficient acidic sites, significantly reducing the amount of expensive methylaluminoxane or borate activators required while maintaining the same activity level compared to catalysts supported on ordinary silica gel. It can even achieve high activity without the use of methylaluminoxane or borate activators, and the catalyst's effective lifespan is extended. This improves catalytic performance while reducing production costs, which is beneficial for industrial application and promotion.
[0118] As shown in Table 2, Comparative Example 5, without a support, exhibited poor polymer flowability, agglomeration, and an inability to measure bulk density. Using a fluorinated silica gel support improved polymer morphology and increased bulk density. Examples 1-4 demonstrate that the polymerization activity using a fluorinated silica gel support without methylaluminoxane (MAO) was comparable to or slightly higher than that of Comparative Examples 1-4 using a conventional silica gel support with up to 500 times the amount of MAO. Examples 34-37, using a fluorinated silica gel support with only 100 times the amount of MAO, and Examples 42-45, using a fluorinated silica gel support with only 60 times the amount of MAO, all showed higher activities than Comparative Examples 1-4. This indicates that the catalyst composition using a fluorinated silica gel support can significantly reduce the amount of MAO or even eliminate the need for MAO while maintaining high catalytic performance. Examples 1-45 show that the catalyst composition of the present invention exhibits high polymerization activity, adjustable isotacticity, high polymer bulk density, and good morphology within a 1-hour polymerization time.
