Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalysts, specifically relating to an organically supported ZN catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, industrial polypropylene catalysts mainly consist of Zn-type catalysts and metallocene catalysts, primarily producing high-isotactic polypropylene. In addition, small quantities of syndiotactic polypropylene, atactic polypropylene, and propylene-based elastomers are produced using metallocene catalysts and post-metallocene catalysts. For industrial polypropylene production plants employing slurry polymerization, bulk polymerization, or gas-phase polymerization processes, catalyst loading is necessary to control the morphology of the generated polymer and prevent reactor agglomeration or blockage.
[0003] Currently, industrially produced catalysts primarily utilize inorganic supports for supporting Zn and metallocene catalysts. Inorganic supports mainly consist of silica, magnesium chloride, ethoxymagnesium, and molecular sieves. For Zn catalysts, commonly used supports include ethoxymagnesium and anhydrous magnesium chloride, which, after reacting with TiCl4, become MgCl2-supported Zn catalysts. During catalyst preparation, electron donors or Lewis bases are typically added to regulate the microchemical environment of the catalyst's metal active sites, thereby modulating the catalyst's performance. For example, MgCl2-supported polypropylene catalysts typically include the following components: MgCl2 / TiCl4 / internal electron donor (ID) / silane-based external electron donor (ED). Common internal electron donors include phthalate-based internal electron donors (such as diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DNBP)), phenolic ester-based internal electron donors, succinate-based internal electron donors, and diether-based internal electron donors. The addition of internal electron donors or Lewis bases to the catalyst system provides a unique electronic and steric environment for the MgCl2 / TiCl4 surface, thus significantly influencing the catalyst's activity, stereoregularity, hydrogen sensitivity, and the molecular weight and distribution of the products. Furthermore, it can regulate the grain size of the MgCl2 surface and the content and distribution of Ti active centers. Over the past thirty years, most research in the development of high-performance polypropylene catalysts has focused on the design and screening of novel internal electron donors. The journal *Polymer Research*, in its article "Progress in MgCl2 supported Ziegler-Natta catalyzed polyolefin products and applications" (Vol. 28, 2021, 45), reviewed the internal electron donors used in polyolefin catalysts, including succinates (US20140200316), 1,3-diesters, diethers (US7022640), bicyclic alkane diacids, bicyclic olefin diacids (US20140005345), and silicon-containing compounds (US8088872B2). Different internal electron donors resulted in varying polymerization activities, stereoregularity, hydrogen sensitivity, and molecular weight distribution of the polypropylene catalysts. Among these, the ZN polypropylene catalyst (CN105408371A), using 1,3-diethers as the internal electron donor, exhibited products with high isotacticity and a narrow molecular weight distribution.
[0004] Inorganic supported polypropylene catalysts typically exhibit high polymerization activity, well-controlled polymer morphology, and high bulk density. However, inorganic supports often introduce additional impurities (besides Mg and Ti active centers), limiting their application in the development of high-purity polypropylene products. Organic polymer supports differ from reported inorganic supports; POP supports themselves do not introduce impurities that affect polymer performance. Furthermore, organic supports offer controllable pore structures, high specific surface areas, stable thermal properties, and ease of functionalization; high-performance or specialty polyolefin catalysts can be prepared through support design and functionalization. Porous organic supports supporting Zn catalysts have been publicly reported, typically using organic supports containing carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, cyano, or amino functional groups. However, since organic supported olefin catalysts are primarily used for polyethylene polymerization, reports on their application in propylene polymerization are scarce. For example, the paper "Sulfonatedporous organic polymer supported ZN polypropylene catalysts with high stereoregularity and broad molecular weight distribution" in Microporous and Mesoporous Materials (Vol. 343, 2022, 112151) reports a ZN catalyst supported on a POP support prepared using a styrene sulfonic acid functional monomer. The product catalyzed by this catalyst has a broad molecular weight distribution with a distribution value above 11. When an additional bisphenol ester is added as an internal electron donor, the isotacticity reaches over 98%. Summary of the Invention

[0049] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the α-olefin includes one or more of butene, isobutene, pentene, hexene, octene, and 4-methyl-1-pentene.
[0050] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the olefin polymerization is gas-phase polymerization, bulk polymerization or slurry polymerization.
[0051] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the reaction temperature of the slurry polymerization is 30-80℃ and the reaction pressure is 0.1-2.0 MPa.
[0052] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the solvent for the slurry polymerization is C5-C. 10 The alkane, more preferably hexane.
[0053] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the reaction pressure of the bulk polymerization is 2.8-4.0 MPa, and the reaction temperature is 68-72°C. Hydrogen is typically used during the polymerization process to adjust the polymer molecular weight or melt index.
[0054] The organic polymer support prepared in this invention uses unsaturated 1,3-propanediol ether monomers suitable for free radical polymerization. By selecting a solvent system with appropriate solubility parameters, dispersion polymerization is employed to prepare a POP support with excellent specific surface area, pore volume, bulk density, and flowability. Due to the addition of the 1,3-propanediol ether functional groups in the support POP-(ROR)2, the microchemical environment of the Ti and Mg active centers is controlled, resulting in a catalyst with excellent olefin insertion, stereoregulation ability, catalyst activity, and narrow molecular weight distribution. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibits good olefin copolymerization properties. During catalyst preparation, the addition of an internal electron donor is not required (alternative addition is optional). During propylene polymerization, the addition of a silane-based external electron donor and a triethylaluminum co-catalyst results in a catalyst with good polymerization activity and a high polymer isotacticity, reaching over 98%. Additionally, the product has a narrow molecular weight distribution, ranging from 4 to 7.
[0055] The organic polymer-supported Zn olefin polymerization catalyst system of this invention requires the addition of an external electron donor during polymerization, and the two must be properly matched to achieve the excellent performance of high catalytic activity and high orientation. Typically, the co-catalyst AlEt3 can complex with the internal electron donor, causing the Ti atoms to become unstable and reoccupy the random active sites complexed by the internal electron donor, resulting in a decrease in the catalyst's orientation. Adding an external electron donor allows it to preferentially bind to AlEt3, preventing the internal electron donor from detaching and reducing the amount of internal electron-donating compound removed by AlEt3, thus ensuring the stability of the stereoactive center. Therefore, additional external electron donors are needed during polymerization to ensure that the prepared polymer has high isotacticity. Detailed Implementation
[0056] In order to provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives and beneficial effects of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail below, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention.
[0057] In this invention, divinylbenzene (DVB) can be a commercially available monomer with a DVB content of 55% or 80%. The monomer must be pretreated before use to remove the polymerization inhibitor. There are many existing methods for removing the polymerization inhibitor. For example, divinylbenzene and styrene can be washed with NaOH solution and distilled water. Additional monomers such as hydroxyethyl methacrylate can be used to remove the polymerization inhibitor using a neutral alumina column before use.
[0058] There are many methods for preparing unsaturated 1,3-propanediol ethers in this invention. It can be prepared by reacting unsaturated propylene glycol with the corresponding chloroalkanes, according to existing technology (see reference: Effect of multi-ethers and conventional alkoxysilanes as external donors on the 4th generation Ziegler-Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization, Mirjahanmardi S. et al., Polymer Science, Series B, 2016, Vol. 58, No. 6, pp. 619–628).

The content of internal electron donors could be determined by extraction and gas chromatography.

[0170] Test Example 13: Copolymerization of Propylene and Ethylene
[0171] In a 10L dried propylene polymerization reactor, 2.0 kg of liquid propylene and 10 mL of triethylaluminum (TEA) (1.0 mol / L) were added. The mixture was stirred at 600 rpm. Then, 60 mg of the catalyst Cat-7 prepared above and 0.5 mL of cyclohexylmethyldimethoxysilane (externally supplied by C) were added, along with 0.5 g of hydrogen and 50 g of ethylene monomer.

[0172] The polymerization results show that the solid component of the organic-supported POP-(ROR)2 / RMgX / TiCl4 polypropylene catalyst prepared by the functional monomer containing unsaturated 1,3-propanediol ether groups, which is capable of free radical polymerization, exhibits good catalytic activity. The homopolymerization activity of propylene can reach over 12000 gPP / gcat.h. Although this is lower than that of catalysts supported on traditional inorganic MgCl2 supports, its activity is significantly higher than that of existing organic polymer-supported polymerization catalysts, meeting the requirements of current industrial catalysts. By selecting the functional monomer containing unsaturated 1,3-propanediol ether groups capable of free radical polymerization, and relying on the 1,3-diether functional groups on the support, the microchemical environment of the metal active center can be controlled, giving the catalyst good stereotactic ability. Even without the addition of an internal electron donor, the prepared polypropylene has high isotacticity, reaching over 97%, and a narrow molecular weight distribution, with the molecular weight distribution coefficient controllable between 4 and 7.
[0173] Compared to Comparative Example 1 (which uses the same conventional internal electron donor such as DIBP), the polymer prepared by catalyst Cat-5 in Example 5 exhibits higher isotacticity than the catalysts in Comparative Examples 1 and 3. Compared to Comparative Examples 2 and 4 (which use the internal electron donor 9,9-dimethoxyfluorene with high stereoregularity and relatively narrow molecular weight distribution), the polypropylene prepared by catalyst Cat-8 in Example 8 exhibits higher stereoregularity and a narrower molecular weight distribution.
[0174] The POP-(ROR)2 / RMgX / TiCl4 polypropylene catalyst disclosed in this invention has a simple preparation method compared with existing catalysts. Its active center has high stereotacticity and a narrow molecular weight distribution, and it has good copolymerization performance, showing good prospects for industrialization.
