Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic waste liquid treatment, and in particular to a method for treating polyolefin catalyst waste liquid. Background Art

[0002] High-activity polyolefin catalysts are currently used on a large scale in the polyolefin industry, among which Ziegler-Natta catalysts are the most commonly used high-activity catalysts for polypropylene. Ziegler-Natta catalysts are prepared by the reaction of titanium tetrachloride, organic solvents, magnesium-containing compounds and internal electron donors. The solid particles formed need to be separated from the mother liquor, and the solid particles need to be washed with hydrocarbon solvents to remove unreacted titanium compounds and by-products, and finally the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is prepared. After the above separation and washing, a certain amount of waste liquid will be generated. For cost and environmental considerations, the waste liquid needs to recover organic solvents and titanium tetrachloride. At present, the recycling process of the above waste liquid is to send a mixture containing organic solvents, titanium tetrachloride and high-boiling substances into a distillation tower for separation, separate the light component organic solvent from the top of the tower, and titanium tetrachloride and high-boiling substances from the bottom of the tower, and then distill and separate the materials at the bottom of the tower to obtain titanium tetrachloride and residual liquid; the residual liquid is acidic after hydrolysis, and needs to be neutralized with alkali and discharged as wastewater and waste residue. In this treatment method, the high-boiling-point substance content of the bottom material is high, the material viscosity is high, the fluidity is poor, and the long residence time at high temperature can easily lead to coking of the bottom wall, inability to stir, and even shutdown. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve high-efficiency recovery of titanium tetrachloride. Direct hydrolysis and neutralization not only cause waste of raw materials, but also increase the treatment volume of the three wastes.

[0003] The carrier sources of Ziegler-Natta catalysts include organic magnesium compounds, such as dibutyl magnesium and dioctyl magnesium compounds. The preparation process of these organic magnesium compounds will produce waste liquid containing organic magnesium compounds. Organic magnesium compounds are highly reactive and dangerous. Improper handling will threaten personal safety. Waste treatment generally adopts hydrolysis treatment, which will produce a large amount of alkaline wastewater and waste residue.

[0004] In addition, in order to avoid problems such as high fine powder content in polymer powder caused by polymer agglomeration and catalyst breakage during olefin polymerization, a prepolymerization reaction is introduced before olefin polymerization in industrial applications, so that the activity release of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is more stable, and more high-value-added polyolefin grades can be produced. Excessive amounts of organoaluminum compounds and organic solvents are added to the prepolymerization catalyst during the preparation process, which will produce a high concentration of waste liquid containing organoaluminum compounds. The current treatment method is hydrolysis treatment, which will produce a large amount of alkaline wastewater and waste residue, which will put great pressure on the environment and the economy. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for treating polyolefin catalyst waste liquid, which carries out oxidation-reduction reaction between titanium-containing organic waste liquid and waste liquid containing organic metal compounds, thereby effectively improving the recovery rate of titanium in the titanium-containing organic waste liquid and significantly reducing the quality of the final waste.

It can not only recover a large amount of titanium in the titanium-containing organic waste liquid and reduce the danger of the waste liquid containing organic aluminum compounds or waste liquid containing organic magnesium compounds, but also greatly improve the recovery rate of organic solvents in the titanium-containing organic waste liquid and waste liquid containing organic aluminum compounds or waste liquid containing organic magnesium compounds.

The recovery rate of titanium in the titanium-containing organic waste liquid and the recovery rate of the organic solvent are greatly improved.
