Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of olefin polymerization catalysts, and in particular relates to an organic boron salt olefin polymerization co-catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Polyolefin resins are generally made from different olefin monomers through catalytic polymerization technology. The catalytic systems commonly used in industry currently mainly include Ziegler-Natta (ZN) catalyst systems and metallocene catalyst systems. Compared with multi-phase and multi-site ZN catalysts, metallocene catalysts with a single active center have higher catalyst activity, excellent copolymerization performance, and a narrower molecular weight distribution of the polymerized products. With the continuous demand for high-end polyolefin resins (such as POE, COC, and COP, etc.) in the polyolefin market, metallocene catalysts, as the mainstream catalysts for the production of such polyolefin products, are one of the important directions for the future of the polyolefin industry.
[0003] The metallocene catalytic system is generally composed of a metallocene main catalyst and a Lewis acid cocatalyst. The activation process is that the metallocene alkyl compound interacts with the Lewis acid cocatalyst to form an ion pair of a metallocene alkyl cation and a Lewis acid anion. This ion pair can realize the insertion chain growth process of olefins in the metal center and B -H chain elimination process, thereby catalyzing olefin polymerization. The charge binding force between metallocene ion pairs, that is, the tightness between anion and cation pairs, directly affects the activity and copolymerization performance of metallocene catalysts, so Lewis acids as co-catalysts play an important role in the development of metallocene catalyst technology.
[0004] At present, most Lewis acid additives that are effectively matched with metallocene catalysts in industry are methylaluminoxane (MAO) and its modified derivatives. However, in industrial applications, due to the high price of MAO additives and their flammable properties in air, the cost of polyolefin resin products will increase. Therefore, developing cheap MAO alternative catalysts has become one of the effective means to reduce the price of such polyolefin products.
[0005] Perfluorotetraaryl borate is a new generation of cocatalysts that can replace MAO. They can react with metallocene dialkyl compounds to produce monoalkyl metallocene perfluorotetraaryl borate ion pairs, which can then catalyze olefin polymerization. On the one hand, the strong electron-withdrawing effect of fluorine atoms reduces the electron cloud density on the aromatic group, effectively avoiding the complexation of the aromatic π bond on the metallocene active center; on the other hand, the electron-withdrawing effect of fluorine atoms weakens the electronegativity of the borate anion, which can greatly weaken the interaction between the anion and cation pairs, and at the same time relatively increase the Lewis acidity of the metallocene active center, which is beneficial to the coordination insertion of the olefin π bond.
[0006] The perfluorotetraarylboric acid co-catalyst currently used in industry is mostly perfluorotetraphenylborane [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] - As anion, cation is inorganic metal ion, triphenyl carbon cation or protonated organic ammonium ion. Commonly used organic boron additives mainly include M[B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ](M=Li, Na, K), [PhNHMe 2 ][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] and [Ph 3 C][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ], etc. In industrial olefin solution polymerization, the solvent is usually selected as a non-polar hydrocarbon solvent. However, the organic boron additive M[B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ](M=Li, Na, K), [PhNHMe 2 ][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] and [Ph 3 C][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] There is a common problem of low solubility in alkane solvents, which makes them react unevenly when activating metallocenes, resulting in a decrease in the effective concentration of activated cationic metallocenes in the polymerization reactor, thereby reducing the overall catalyst activity and increasing the cost of catalyst use. This has limited the current scope of application of organoboron additives in industry to a certain extent.
[0007] In view of the low solubility of boron salt co-catalysts in hydrocarbon solvents, relevant technologies at home and abroad have also proposed solutions. The borate cation part (triphenylcarbon or protonated organic amine) is modified, and a long-chain alkyl group is introduced into the cation by technical means, thereby improving the solubility of the entire borate in hydrocarbon solvents. Introducing long-chain alkyl groups into the aromatic hydrocarbon group of the triphenylcarbon cation can effectively improve its solubility (CN 113527341A, CN 111971311B); using protonated long-chain organic amines (ethers) as cations can also improve the solubility of borates in hydrocarbon solvents (CN115279774A, CN113164932A). However, most of the above schemes are based on [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] -as the borate anion. In addition, perfluorotetraphenylborane [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] - As the counter ion of metallocene alkyl cation, the metallocene active center and [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] - The fluorine atoms on the metal also have a certain weak coordination effect, which creates a certain energy barrier for the coordination and reaction of olefins at the metal center, thereby reducing the catalytic efficiency. Especially in the copolymerization of multiple olefins, it may hinder the coordination and insertion of the second olefin, thereby reducing the insertion rate of the second olefin in the polymer.

[0074] The experimental conditions for ethylene-octene copolymerization are as follows: In the CGC-Ti catalytic ethylene-octene polymerization experiment, the reaction temperature was 140°C, the ethylene pressure was 2MPa, the octene concentration was 1.5M, the catalyst dosage was 3.0umol, the reaction time was 10min, the total solvent volume was 30mL, the concentration ratio was: B / Ti=1.1, Al / Ti=150, and the CGC-Ti metallocene catalyst, organic boron olefin cocatalyst, and triisobutylaluminum were all toluene solutions.
[0075] The experimental steps of ethylene-octene polymerization are as follows: The autoclave was vacuum dried at 150°C for 1 h, and then the reaction system was replaced with ethylene three times. When the temperature of the autoclave dropped below 60°C, 16.4 mL of n-hexane, 7.1 mL of octene, and 4.5 mL of triisobutylaluminum were added in sequence. After stirring for 1 minute (stirring rate 1000 rpm), the autoclave temperature was heated to 140 o C, add 1mL of toluene solution of metallocene catalyst CGC-Ti to the catalyst feeder, press it into the reactor with ethylene, then add toluene solution of organic boron olefin cocatalyst to the system in the same way, open the ethylene flow valve, keep the system ethylene pressure at 2MPa, and react for 10 minutes. After the reaction is completed, add acidified ethanol to extract. The polymer solution is precipitated with acidified ethanol, dried and pressed into sheets, and density, melt index determination, GPC and other analytical tests are performed. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3. Table 1 shows the metallocene CGC-Ti as the main catalyst, substituted organic boron salt [Ph 3 C][B(C 6 F 4 -R- p ) 4 ](B1: R=SiMe 3 , B4: R=SiEt 3 , B7: R=Si n Bu 3 ,B10:R=Si(C 7 H 15 ) 3 , B12: R= t Bu) and [Ph 3 C][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ](B15, commercial co-catalyst) is the experimental results of ethylene-octene copolymerization with olefin polymerization co-catalyst.

[0080] Table 3 CGC-Ti / [(C 18 H 37 ) 2 NHMe][B(C 6 F 4 -R- p ) 4 Catalytic properties data of
[0081] It can be seen from the polymerization data in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 that under the same boron salt cation conditions, the polymerization activity of the perfluorotetraphenylborate substituted with a large steric hindrance group in the para position of the present invention is significantly higher than that of the commercial perfluorotetraphenylborate, and the polymerization activity increases with the increase of the steric hindrance of the substituent. This may be mainly due to the following two reasons: (1) After the fluorophenylboronic acid anion is modified with a large steric group, the polarity of the anion can be effectively reduced, thereby increasing the solubility of the organic boron olefin polymerization co-catalyst in non-polar solvents, making the activation reaction of the metallocene main catalyst more uniform, and effectively increasing the concentration of the olefin polymerization active center; (2) The sterically substituted perfluorotetraphenylborate reacts with the metallocene cocatalyst to form anion-cation pairs that are active olefin polymerization centers and have better solubility in hydrocarbon solvents, making it easier to achieve homogeneous solution polymerization. (3) The perfluorotetraphenylborate with large steric hindrance and the metallocene cocatalyst react to form anion-cation pair active olefin polymerization center. Due to the spatial effect of the substituent, the interaction between the anion-cation pair can be weakened, making the ion pair active center looser, which is conducive to the coordination and insertion reaction of the olefin.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
