Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyolefin technology, and more specifically to a coordination precipitation polymerization method for olefin polymerization and a polyolefin. Background Technology
[0002] Polyolefin products are inexpensive, have excellent performance, and are widely used. Olefin polymerization catalysts and polymerization processes are the core of polyolefin technology. From the development of olefin polymerization catalysts, there are two main aspects: (1) developing polyolefin resin catalysts that can prepare special or superior performance, such as metallocene catalysts and non-metallocene transition metal catalysts; (2) on the basis of further improving catalyst performance, simplifying catalyst preparation processes, reducing catalyst costs, and developing environmentally friendly technologies to improve efficiency and enhance competitiveness. Before the 1980s, the focus of polyethylene catalyst research was on pursuing catalyst efficiency. After nearly 30 years of effort, the catalytic efficiency of polyethylene catalysts has increased by orders of magnitude, thereby simplifying the production process of polyolefins and reducing energy and material consumption. Ziegler-Natta catalysts have been around for nearly 60 years. During this period, although polyolefin catalysts such as metallocene and non-metallocene have emerged, there are still many problems in their industrialization, such as the high cost of co-catalysts and the difficulty in loading the main catalyst. In recent years, olefin polymerization catalyst products have emerged in large numbers at home and abroad, and the stability and polymerization catalytic activity of catalysts have also been continuously improved. However, there are still shortcomings in terms of hydrogen sensitivity adjustment, control of catalyst particle regularity and particle size distribution. Current research is still focused on developing spherical or near-spherical supported catalysts with simple processes, good hydrogen sensitivity adjustment, and uniform particle size distribution.
[0003] Commonly used polymerization processes in the polyolefin industry include slurry polymerization, gas-phase polymerization, and bulk polymerization, with most catalysts being supported catalysts. Monomers are inserted into and grow in a complex form on the supported catalyst to prepare particulate polymer particles. The stability of the catalyst in the plant and the morphology of the polymer largely depend on the particle morphology, particle strength, and particle size distribution of the catalyst. Therefore, catalyst support technology has a crucial effect on the olefin polymerization process.
[0004] In his book *Principles of Polymerization*, Odian points out that precipitation polymerization is a polymerization process that begins in a homogeneous system but can rapidly transform into a heterogeneous system. Typically, precipitation polymerization occurs in solutions of monomers or monomers and solvents, and the resulting polymer precipitates out because it is insoluble in the reaction medium. In recent years, precipitation polymerization has attracted widespread research interest because it can produce surface-pure polymer microspheres. However, precipitation polymerization is mostly applied to free radical polymerization reactions. If precipitation polymerization and co-coordination polymerization can be combined, and the polymerization process can be controlled in commonly used solvents for coordination polymerization, it is possible to directly prepare polymer particles with good particle morphology from unloaded transition metal complexes via precipitation polymerization, which has promising application prospects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of complex catalyst loading processes and polymer deashing and granulation post-processing in existing technologies, and to provide a coordination precipitation polymerization method for olefin polymerization and polyolefins. This method controls the polymerization reaction process to achieve the direct preparation of polyolefins with good particle morphology by precipitation polymerization under the action of monocyclic pre-transition metal complexes. This eliminates the complicated catalyst loading process, greatly simplifies the preparation process of the main catalyst, has low equipment requirements, low energy consumption, and low environmental pollution.
