Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of olefin polymerization technology, and more specifically, relates to a catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst containing the catalyst component, and the application of the catalyst in olefin polymerization reactions. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, Zn catalysts have become the mainstay of industrial olefin polymerization catalysts since their inception. Electron-donating compounds are an essential component of catalysts, playing a decisive role in important indicators such as polymerization activity, polymer isotacticity, polymer molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. With the development of electron donors, olefin polymerization catalysts are constantly being updated and upgraded.

[0003] As internal electron donors driving the development of Zn catalysts, the use of phthalate esters in third-generation Zn catalysts has evolved from monocarboxylic acid esters, such as ethyl benzoate and ethyl p-ethoxybenzoate, to dicarboxylic acid esters, such as di(iso)butyl phthalate in fourth-generation Zn catalysts. Phthalate esters (plasticizers) are currently the most commonly used internal electron donors in polypropylene catalysts. However, studies have found that they can cause serious damage to the growth, development, and reproductive systems of animals, and may also have similar effects on humans. The United States, the European Union, and other countries and regions have successively listed these compounds as toxic chemicals, and their uses (especially in infant toys) are strictly limited. Therefore, the development of high-performance catalysts free of phthalate esters is imperative. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In the course of our research, we unexpectedly discovered that using a combination of furan and diether compounds as internal electron donor catalysts exhibits a good balance between hydrogen sensitivity and stereoregulation. Particularly noteworthy is the broad molecular weight distribution of polymers prepared under low-hydrogen polymerization conditions, which effectively improves polymer processing performance. Conversely, with increasing hydrogen content, the molecular weight distribution of polymers prepared under high-hydrogen polymerization conditions narrows. This reduces the content of small molecules in high melt index polymers, thus helping to reduce precipitate content. Furthermore, high melt index products themselves possess good processing properties. Based on this discovery, we propose this invention.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a catalyst component for olefin polymerization, the catalyst component comprising a product obtained by reacting a magnesium source, a titanium source and an internal electron donor, said internal electron donor comprising a furan compound and a diether compound.
