Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a catalyst component for propylene polymerization and its preparation method, a catalyst containing the catalyst component, and the application of the catalyst component and the catalyst. Background Technology
[0002] Olefin polymerization catalysts can be divided into three main categories: traditional Ziegler-Natta catalysts, metallocene catalysts, and non-metallocene catalysts. For traditional Ziegler-Natta catalysts, with the development of electron-donating compounds, polyolefin catalysts have been continuously updated and upgraded. Catalyst development has progressed from the first-generation TiCl3AlCl3 / AlEt2Cl system and the second-generation TiCl3 / AlEt2Cl system to the third-generation TiCl4·ED·MgCl2 / AlR3·ED system, which uses magnesium chloride as a support, monoesters or aromatic diesters as internal electron donors, and silanes as external electron donors. These catalysts have significantly improved the catalytic polymerization activity and the isotacticity of the resulting polypropylene.
[0003] In existing technologies, titanium catalyst systems used for propylene polymerization are mostly composed of magnesium, titanium, halogens, and electron donors (internal electron donors). Among them, electron donors are an essential component of the catalyst and play a crucial role in improving catalyst performance. They are one of the key factors affecting catalyst performance.
[0004] Currently, various electron-donating compounds have been disclosed, such as phthalates, diethers, glycol esters, and succinates, see patent documents US4784983, US4971937, EP0728769, WO98 / 56830, WO98 / 56834, CN1436766A, CN1453298, etc.
[0005] Different electron-donating compounds have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, glycol esters are highly active internal electron-donating catalysts, producing polymers with a wide molecular weight distribution, but they have poor hydrogen sensitivity, which is not conducive to the production of polymers with high melt index. On the other hand, monoethers have very low internal electron-donating activity as catalysts for propylene polymerization. Summary of the Invention
