Description

Catalyst Component for Ethylene Polymerization, Its Preparation Method and Application Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalysts for preparing olefin polymers. Specifically, it relates to a catalyst component for ethylene polymerization, its preparation method, a catalyst for ethylene polymerization and its application. Background Art

[0002] With the development of ethylene polymerization processes, the catalyst preparation technology supporting the polymerization processes has also been continuously advancing. Currently, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst system of Ti / Mg composites still occupies a dominant position in the industrial production of polyethylene. In industrial production, the polymerization activity of the catalyst, hydrogen response sensitivity, the particle morphology of the catalyst, and the bulk density of the polymer powder are all very important parameters. The improvement of catalyst activity can increase productivity and thus improve economic benefits. An increase in the bulk density of the polymer in industry allows for a longer catalyst residence time, which is beneficial for increasing reactor output and achieving better reactor operability. The catalyst affects parameters such as the bulk density, fluidity, and particle adhesion of the polymer powder. The polymer replicates the morphology of the catalyst. Poor catalyst morphology may lead to poor polymer morphology, which may in turn cause fouling or flaking in industrial plants. Therefore, industrially, a catalyst with well-controlled morphology, desired particle size and shape, narrow distribution, high bulk density, and low adhesion is required.

[0003] To obtain good particle morphology, technicians often use the loading method to prepare catalysts, impregnating the catalyst active components on particulate carrier materials, such as porous inorganic carrier materials like silica or organic particulate carrier materials. For example, US4293673, US4303771, US4302565, US4302566, and EP0835887A2 disclose preparing catalysts by loading magnesium compounds and titanium compounds on inorganic carriers. The morphology of the carrier determines the final morphology of the catalyst. This preparation method has high requirements for the morphology and surface properties of the carrier, resulting in an increase in catalyst preparation costs. In addition, the disadvantage of supported catalysts is that the impregnation step may lead to uneven loading of the active components on the carrier surface. At the same time, due to the limitations of the specific surface area of the carrier, the loading amount and distribution of active centers are restricted, thus limiting the improvement of catalyst activity.

[0004] CN1085915A discloses a method for preparing a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system. A TiCl3 tetrahydrofuran solution is prepared by reducing titanium tetrachloride with metallic magnesium in tetrahydrofuran. Magnesium chloride is then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. The two solutions are thoroughly mixed, and unreacted magnesium and undissolved magnesium chloride are filtered out. The filtered solution is then thoroughly mixed with silica gel and spray-dried to obtain dispersed catalyst particles. This catalyst exhibits high activity and high titanium content. However, this preparation method requires a filtration step, generating a significant amount of waste residue and increasing post-processing steps and costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a catalyst suitable for ethylene polymerization, which not only needs to have high catalytic activity, but also good catalyst particle morphology and polymer particle morphology, and high polymer packing density. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a catalyst component for ethylene polymerization, its preparation method, and the catalyst itself for ethylene polymerization and its application. The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of existing polyolefin catalysts, such as the surface properties, pore structure, and solubility of the supported component, resulting in low effective loading of the active component on the support. This leads to poor catalytic activity in supported polyolefin catalysts prepared from existing supported polyolefin catalyst supports. This invention provides a method for preparing a polyolefin catalyst, the polyolefin catalyst prepared by the above method, the application of the polyolefin catalyst prepared by the above method in olefin monomer polymerization reactions, and the polyolefin obtained by the method. This invention exhibits high catalytic activity when used for homopolymerization or copolymerization of ethylene, and the resulting polymer powder has a high bulk density. The mother liquor of this invention does not require filtration before mixing with the support for reaction, making the process simple and environmentally friendly.

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention is to provide a catalyst component comprising a reaction product of the following raw materials: at least one support, at least one magnesium compound, at least one oxygen-containing titanium compound, at least one alcohol ether compound, at least one ether compound, and at least one halogenating agent;

[0008] The carrier is a hexagonal mesoporous material carrier, which has a cubic cage-like pore structure, a cubic core 1m3m crystal structure, an average pore size of 4-15nm, and a specific surface area of ​​450-550m². 2 / g, pore volume is 0.5-1.5mL / g, and average particle size is 0.5-10μm.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carrier is prepared by the following method:

[0010] (a) The template agent, potassium sulfate, acid agent and tetraethyl orthosilicate are mixed and contacted, and the resulting mixture is crystallized and filtered to obtain hexagonal mesoporous material powder;

[0011] (b) The hexagonal mesoporous material powder is subjected to template release agent treatment, thermal activation treatment and ball milling treatment in sequence to obtain a hexagonal mesoporous material carrier.

[0012] According to the present invention, in step (a), the process of preparing the hexagonal mesoporous material powder with a cubic core 1m3m structure may include: mixing and contacting a template agent, potassium sulfate, an acid agent, and tetraethyl orthosilicate, and then crystallizing and filtering the resulting mixture. The order of mixing and contacting is not particularly limited; the template agent, potassium sulfate, acid agent, and tetraethyl orthosilicate may be mixed simultaneously, or any two or three of them may be mixed before adding other components and mixing thoroughly. According to a preferred embodiment, the template agent, potassium sulfate, and acid agent are first mixed thoroughly, and then tetraethyl orthosilicate is added and mixed thoroughly.

[0013] In this invention, the amounts of the template agent, potassium sulfate, and tetraethyl orthosilicate can vary within a wide range. For example, the molar ratio of the template agent, potassium sulfate, and tetraethyl orthosilicate can be 1:100-800:20-200, preferably 1:150-700:80-180, and more preferably 1:200-400:100-150.

[0014] In this invention, the template agent can be any type of template agent conventional in the art. For example, the template agent can be a triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene, which can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art or can be commercially available, for example, from Fuka Corporation, under the trade name Synperonic F108, with the molecular formula EO. 132 PO 60 EO 132 The average molecular weight Mn = 14600. The molar number of polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene is calculated based on the average molecular weight of polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene.

[0015] In this invention, the acid can be any of the acidic aqueous solutions commonly used in the art, for example, it can be an aqueous solution of at least one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrobromic acid, preferably an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid.

[0016] The amount of acid used is not particularly limited and can vary within a wide range, preferably so that the pH value of the mixture is 1-7.

[0017] The present invention does not particularly limit the conditions for the mixing contact. For example, the conditions for the mixing contact may include: a temperature of 25-60°C, a time of 10-240 min, and a pH value of 1-7. In order to facilitate the uniform mixing of the substances, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mixing contact is carried out under stirring conditions.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the process of mixing and contacting the template agent, potassium sulfate, acid agent, and tetraethyl orthosilicate includes: adding the template agent triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene F108 to an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid at a molar ratio of triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene F108: potassium sulfate: water: hydrogen chloride = 1:200-400:10000-30000:100-900, stirring at 25-60°C until dissolved, and then adding tetraethyl orthosilicate to the above-obtained solution at a molar ratio of triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene F108: tetraethyl orthosilicate = 1:100-150, stirring at 25-60°C for 10-240 min.

[0019] In this invention, the crystallization conditions are not particularly limited. For example, the crystallization conditions may include: a temperature of 25-60°C, preferably 30-55°C; and a time of 10-72 hours, preferably 10-40 hours. According to a preferred embodiment, the crystallization is carried out by a hydrothermal crystallization method.

[0020] In this invention, the process of obtaining hexagonal mesoporous material powder with a cubic core Im3m structure by filtration may include: after filtration, repeatedly washing with deionized water (the number of washing times can be 2-10), and then performing vacuum filtration.

[0021] According to the present invention, in step (b), the method for removing the template agent is generally a calcination method. The conditions for removing the template agent can be conventionally selected in the art. For example, the process of removing the template agent may include calcining the hexagonal mesoporous material powder at 300-600°C for 8-20 hours.

[0022] According to the present invention, in step (b), in order to remove the hydroxyl groups and residual moisture from the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier, a thermal activation treatment is required before loading the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier with magnesium and / or titanium active components. The conditions for the thermal activation treatment may include calcining the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier at a temperature of 300-900°C for 7-10 hours in the presence of nitrogen.

[0023] According to the present invention, in step (b), the specific operation method and conditions of the ball milling treatment are based on not damaging or substantially not damaging the pore structure of the hexagonal mesoporous material with a cubic core 1m3m structure. Those skilled in the art can select various suitable conditions to implement the present invention based on the above principles. Specifically, the ball milling treatment can be carried out in a ball mill, wherein the diameter of the grinding balls in the ball mill can be 2-3 mm; the number of grinding balls can be reasonably selected according to the size of the grinding jar; for a grinding jar of 50-150 mL, 20-80 grinding balls can usually be used; the material of the grinding balls can be agate, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc., preferably agate. The conditions of the ball milling treatment include: a grinding ball rotation speed of 300-500 r / min, and / or, a temperature inside the grinding jar of 15-100℃, and / or, a ball milling time of 0.1-100 h. Preferably, the ball milling conditions include: a ball rotation speed of 300-500 r / min, a ball milling jar temperature of 15-100℃, and a ball milling time of 0.1-100 hours. Preferably, in step (b), the ball milling conditions result in an average particle diameter of 0.5-10 μm for the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier obtained through ball milling.

[0024] According to the present invention, the polyolefin catalyst comprises a support and a magnesium component and / or a titanium component supported on the support, wherein the support is a hexagonal mesoporous material support having a cubic cage-like pore structure, the crystal structure of the hexagonal mesoporous material having a cubic core 1m3m structure, the average pore size of the hexagonal mesoporous material being 4-15 nm, and the specific surface area being 450-550 m². 2 / g, pore volume is 0.5-1.5mL / g, and average particle size is 0.5-10μm.

[0025] According to the present invention, in the polyolefin catalyst, the hexagonal mesoporous material support prepared by the method of the present invention has a special cubic core crystal structure, which has a cubic core Im3m structure. The unique cubic cage-like pore structure of the hexagonal mesoporous material, combined with its narrow pore size distribution and uniform pore channel distribution, is conducive to the good dispersion of magnesium and / or titanium active components on the support surface. This results in a polyolefin catalyst with good dispersion and high loading of metal active components, ensuring that the supported catalyst made by using the hexagonal mesoporous material as a support has better catalytic activity in the polymerization reaction of olefin monomers and significantly improves the conversion rate of the reaction feedstock.

[0026] According to the present invention, the average particle size of the hexagonal mesoporous material is measured using a laser particle size analyzer, and the specific surface area, pore volume, and average pore size are measured using the nitrogen adsorption method. In the present invention, particle size refers to the particle size of the raw material particles. When the raw material particles are spheres, the particle size is expressed as the diameter of the sphere; when the raw material particles are cubes, the particle size is expressed as the side length of the cube; when the raw material particles are irregularly shaped, the particle size is expressed as the mesh size of the sieve that can just separate the raw material particles.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the hexagonal mesoporous material has an average pore size of 4-12 nm, such as 4 nm, 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, 9 nm, 10 nm, 11 nm, and 12 nm, or any average pore size within a range formed by any two average pore sizes, and a specific surface area of ​​480-520 m². 2 The hexagonal mesoporous material has a pore volume of 0.5-1 mL / g and an average particle size of 0.8-8 μm. This ensures that the material has the advantages of large pore size, large pore volume, and large specific surface area, which is more conducive to the good dispersion of magnesium and / or titanium active components on the surface of the material. This, in turn, ensures that the polyolefin catalyst prepared from it has excellent catalytic performance, resulting in high olefin monomer conversion, high polymer bulk density, and excellent flowability.

[0075] The raw materials used in the specific embodiments of this invention are commercially available.

[0076] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments.

[0077] In the following examples and comparative examples, the polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene was purchased from Fuka, under the trade name Synperonic F108, with the molecular formula EO. 132 PO 60 EO 132 Average molecular weight M n =14600.

[0081] This example illustrates a polyolefin catalyst and its preparation method.

[0082] Example 1

[0083] 1) Preparation of the carrier

[0084] 2g (1.4×10 -4 5.24 g (0.03 mol) of template agent F108, 5.24 g (0.03 mol) of K2SO4 and 60 g of 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution were stirred at 38 °C until F108 was completely dissolved;

[0085] Add 4.2 g (0.02 mol) of tetraethyl orthosilicate to the above solution, stir at 38 °C for 15 min, and let it stand at 38 °C for 24 h to crystallize.

[0086] Then, 100g of deionized water was added to the above mixed solution for dilution, followed by filtration and washing with deionized water 4 times. Then, the raw powder of hexagonal mesoporous material with cubic core 1m3m structure was obtained by vacuum filtration.

[0087] The hexagonal mesoporous material powder with a cubic core 1m3m structure obtained above was calcined at 400℃ for 10h to remove the template agent, resulting in hexagonal mesoporous material A1; then, the product after removing the template agent was calcined at 400℃ for 10h under nitrogen protection to perform thermal activation treatment, removing the hydroxyl groups and residual moisture of the hexagonal mesoporous material, resulting in thermally activated hexagonal mesoporous material B1;

[0088] Take 10g of the above-mentioned thermally activated hexagonal mesoporous material B1 and put it into a 100ml ball mill jar. The ball mill jar is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, the grinding balls are made of agate, the diameter of the grinding balls is 3-15mm, the number of grinding balls is 30, the rotation speed is 400r / min, and the ball mill is carried out at 25℃ for 20h under nitrogen protection to obtain 10g of hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 with an average particle diameter of 0.8-8μm.

[0089] 2) Preparation of polyolefin catalysts

[0090] (1) Add 45 mmol of magnesium dichloride, 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 11 mmol of tetrabutyl titanate, and 9.8 mmol of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether to a glass reactor equipped with a stirrer that has been purged with N2 and kept under N2 atmosphere. Then heat the reactor to 70°C and stir until a transparent solution is formed.

[0091] (2) Cool the transparent solution obtained in step (1) to 25°C, add 6.0g of hexagonal mesoporous support C1 to it, stir at 50°C for 2 hours to obtain a suspension;

[0092] (3) Add 13.5 ml of 30 wt% dichloroethylaluminum solution to the suspension obtained in step (2) using a constant pressure dropper. After the addition is complete, stir the reaction for 1 hour to obtain the slurry to be sprayed.

[0093] (4) Under N2 protection, the inlet temperature of the spray dryer is controlled at 140℃, the outlet temperature is controlled at 105℃, and the carrier gas flow rate is controlled at 360L / h to obtain solid free-flowing powdered polyolefin catalyst Cat-1.

[0094] Catalyst evaluation:

[0095] 1 L of hexane, 1 mmol of triethylaluminum, and 20 mg of the above catalyst components were added to a 2 L stainless steel stirred tank. The temperature was then raised to 75 °C, and hydrogen gas was added at 0.18 MPa. After hydrogenation, ethylene gas was added at 0.75 MPa, and the temperature was raised to 85 °C for polymerization. After 2 hours of reaction, the addition of ethylene was stopped, the temperature was lowered, the pressure was released, the polyethylene powder was weighed, and the catalyst activity was calculated. The bulk density of the polyethylene powder was tested, and the polymerization results are shown in Table 3. The scanning electron microscopy results of the catalyst are shown in Figure 1.

[0096] The hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 and the polyolefin catalyst Cat-1 were characterized by XRD, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption.

[0097] In the catalyst Cat-1 obtained in this embodiment, the content of magnesium is 6.89% by weight and the content of titanium is 2.26% by weight.

[0098] The hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 was subjected to X-ray diffraction pattern detection, where the horizontal axis is 2θ and the vertical axis is intensity. From the XRD pattern, it can be clearly seen that the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 has a diffraction peak (2θ = 0.6°) on the (110) plane that corresponds to the center of the cube Im3m and a diffraction shoulder peak (2θ = 1.2°) on the (200) plane in the small corner region. The high intensity and narrow shape of the diffraction peaks on the (110) plane indicate that the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 has a good long-range ordered structure, which is consistent with the XRD pattern of the FDU-6 mesoporous material reported in the literature (Chengzhong Yu, Bozhi Tian, ​​Jie Fan, Galen D. Stucky, Dongyuan Zhao, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 4556-4557). In addition, the position of the diffraction shoulder peak (2θ = 1.2°) on the (200) plane is completely different from that of the hexagonal or layered structure.

[0099] The nitrogen adsorption-desorption curves of the hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 (x-axis represents relative pressure, unit: p / p0) were analyzed. The pore size distribution of the hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 (x-axis represents pore size, unit: 0.1 nm) was also analyzed. The pore size distribution shows that the hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 has a narrow pore size distribution and very uniform pores. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm indicates that the hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 exhibits a typical Type IV adsorption-desorption isotherm as defined by IUPAC. The sample possesses an H2-type hysteresis loop, confirming that the hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 has the characteristic cubic cage-like mesoporous structure reported in the literature. The desorption branch between relative partial pressures of 0.4-0.5 also indicates that the material has a cage-like pore structure.

[0100] The shape of the pores on the (100) crystal plane of the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 can be clearly seen by TEM transmission electron microscopy of the microstructure.

[0101] Figure 1 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the microstructure of the polyolefin catalyst Cat-1. As shown in the figure, the polyolefin catalyst Cat-1 has a spherical shape and a particle size in the micrometer range.

[0102] Table 1 shows the pore structure parameters of the hexagonal mesoporous material support C1 and the polyolefin catalyst Cat-1.

[0103] Table 1

[0104]

[0105] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the specific surface area and pore volume of the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 decreased after loading magnesium and titanium components, indicating that magnesium and titanium components entered the interior of the hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C1 during the loading reaction.

[0106] Example 2

[0107] This embodiment is used to illustrate the polyolefin catalyst and its preparation method of the present invention.

[0108] 1) Preparation of the carrier

[0109] 1.46g (1×10 -4 6.96 g (0.04 mol) of template agent F108, 6.96 g (0.04 mol) of K2SO4 and 60 g of 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution were stirred at 38 °C until F108 was completely dissolved.

[0110] Add 3.1 g (0.015 mol) of tetraethyl orthosilicate to the above solution, stir at 38 °C for 15 min, and let it stand at 40 °C for 20 h to crystallize.

[0111] Then, 100g of deionized water was added to the above mixed solution for dilution, followed by filtration and washing with deionized water 4 times. Then, the raw powder of hexagonal mesoporous material with cubic core 1m3m structure was obtained by vacuum filtration.

[0112] The hexagonal mesoporous material powder with a cubic core 1m3m structure obtained above was calcined at 600℃ for 20h to remove the template agent, resulting in hexagonal mesoporous material A2; then, the product after removing the template agent was calcined at 500℃ for 10h under nitrogen protection to perform thermal activation treatment, removing the hydroxyl groups and residual moisture of the hexagonal mesoporous material, resulting in thermally activated hexagonal mesoporous material B2;

[0113] Take 10g of the thermally activated hexagonal mesoporous material B2 and place it in a 100ml ball mill jar. The ball mill jar is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the grinding balls are made of agate with a diameter of 3-15mm. There are 30 grinding balls in total, and the rotation speed is 300r / min. Under nitrogen protection, the ball mill is milled at 30℃ for 20h to obtain approximately 10g of hexagonal mesoporous material carrier C2 with an average particle diameter of 0.9-7μm.

[0118] Table 2 shows the pore structure parameters of the hexagonal mesoporous material support C2 and the polyolefin catalyst Cat-2.

[0119] Table 2

[0120]
