Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polyolefin catalysts, and particularly relates to a main agent of an alkoxymagnesium-supported polyethylene catalyst and a preparation method thereof, as well as an alkoxymagnesium-supported polyethylene catalyst composed of the main agent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In industrial production, the particle morphology, particle size distribution, fluidity and apparent density of polyethylene directly restrict the production capacity, long-term operation stability and energy consumption of the device. These properties of polyethylene mainly depend on the performance of the catalyst used, and are also closely related to the polymerization process technology. The slurry polymerization process is the most important production technology for high-density polyethylene in China. At present, most of the high-density polyethylene produced by the autoclave slurry reaction in China uses Ziegler-Natta titanium (series) catalysts supported on magnesium chloride. Most of the preparation routes of such catalysts are to dissolve magnesium chloride with Lewis bases such as alcohols, esters and ethers to form a complex solution, and then precipitate under the action of titanium compounds to form a catalyst precursor. The technical solutions of such catalysts are disclosed in patent documents such as CN1861650A, ZL00819563.3, CN101148485A, CN100577696C, CN105566524B, CN101148484B, CN1746197A, CN102718901A, CN103772536A, CN113024697A, CN106632753A, CN106632750B, CN106589179A, etc. Such catalysts generally have the advantages of high polymerization activity and concentrated particle size distribution, but usually have poor hydrogen response sensitivity and are often used in ethylene slurry polymerization to prepare ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, ethylene and α-olefin copolymerization, etc.
[0003] The preparation technical routes of magnesium alkoxide-based catalysts mainly include: one is to process magnesium alkoxide into spherical particles and then react the particles with a titanium compound in an inert solvent to form a catalyst precursor; the second is to react metallic magnesium with a fatty alcohol under the initiation of a chlorine-containing initiator to obtain a magnesium alkoxide carrier, and then react the carrier with a titanium compound to obtain a catalyst; the third is to prepare magnesium alkoxide composite microsphere particles by methods such as suspension spraying of magnesium alkoxide and magnesium chloride, and then react the composite microsphere particles with a titanium compound to obtain a catalyst; the fourth is to dissolve magnesium alkoxide and titanium alkoxide to form a solution containing magnesium alkoxide and titanium alkoxide, and precipitate to form a catalyst under the action of a chlorinating reagent and an alkylaluminum. These methods are disclosed in patent documents such as CN109320639A, CN1989157A, CN114316102A, CN109503741B, CN101120025A, CN102947352A, CN105713116A, US7759445B2, US4859749A, CN100523015C, CN102066429A, CN1127525C, CN1675261A, etc. This type of catalyst has advantages such as high activity and good hydrogen regulation sensitivity, but the powder of this type of catalyst has poor fluidity, the preparation process is relatively complex, the bulk density of the powder needs to be improved, and most of this type of catalyst is applied to the preparation of 1-olefin homopolymers and copolymers, and the development of resin products with a bimodal molecular weight distribution, and is not suitable for the development of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene products.
[0004] Patent CN94105011 relates to a method of reacting dialkylmagnesium with a halogenating agent to form a magnesium halide reactant, and then reacting with a titanium compound, which can prepare ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a narrow particle size distribution and small particle size, but the reaction process is complex. The preparation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene involved in patent CN93103156.7 uses a double carrier catalyst. Patent CN103554310A discloses a method for preparing a spherical carrier-supported olefin polymerization catalyst, which is to add a magnesium alkoxide spherical carrier to a solvent to form a magnesium alkoxide spherical carrier slurry, then add a chemical treatment agent of a Group IVB metal halide for treatment, and then obtain it through filtration, washing, and drying. This catalyst can be used to prepare ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene under slurry polymerization conditions, but the catalyst activity is low, and the ash content in the prepared polymer is high, affecting the product quality.
[0005] In view of the above situation, it is still very necessary to develop a catalyst with high polymerization activity, good polymer particle morphology, high bulk density of polymer powder, more concentrated particle size distribution, accurate regulation of polymer molecular weight, and suitable for slurry polymerization process.

Detailed embodiments
[0034] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention shown in the exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative. Although only a few embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, those skilled in the art can easily understand that various modifications are feasible without substantially departing from the teachings of the subject matter of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications should be included within the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the gist of the present invention, other substitutions, modifications, changes and deletions can be made to the design, operating conditions and parameters of the following exemplary embodiments.
[0035] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a main agent of an alkoxymagnesium-supported polyethylene catalyst, which is composed of an alkoxymagnesium support loaded with a titanium halide and an aryl ester compound.
[0036] Preferably, the chemical structural formula of the alkoxymagnesium support is Mg(OR1)(OR2), where R1 and R2 are both alkyl groups containing 2-10 carbon atoms, such as ethyl, propyl, butyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, pentyl, octyl, etc., and preferably R1 and R2 are both ethyl groups.
[0037] Preferably, the alkoxymagnesium carrier is a quasi-spherical particle with an average particle size of 20 - 1500 μm and a bulk density of 0.30 - 0.40 g / cm 3 . Preferably, the average particle size of the alkoxymagnesium carrier is 200 - 700 μm and the bulk density is 0.32 - 0.38 g / cm 3 .
[0038] Preferably, the aryl ester compound is one or a mixture of di-n-butyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, 1,3-dipentyl phthalate, methyl phenylacetate, ethyl benzoate, 1,3-butanediol dimethylbenzoate, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butanediol dibenzoate, phenethyl acrylate, phenyl methacrylate, 2-phenylethyl acrylate, 2,4-pentanediol dibenzoate, 2-methyl-3,5-heptanediol dibenzoate, 2,4-pentanediol dibenzoate, 4-ethyl-3,5-heptanediol dibenzoate. Based on per mole of the alkoxymagnesium carrier, the dosage of the aryl ester compound is 0.1 - 100 moles, preferably 0.3 - 30 moles. Typically but not restrictively, the dosage of the aryl ester compound can be 0.1 mole, 0.3 mole, 1 mole, 10 moles, 20 moles, 30 moles, 40 moles, 50 moles, 60 moles, 70 moles, 80 moles, 90 moles, 100 moles.
[0039] Preferably, the titanium-containing halide is at least one selected from the general formula (R1O)aTi(OR2)b(OR3)cXd, where a, b, c are integers between 0 and 4, d is an integer between 1 and 4, and a + b + c + d = 4, and R1, R2, R3 are hydrogen and / or alkyl, and X is at least one of chlorine and bromine. Preferably, the titanium-containing halide is at least one selected from titanium tetrachloride, titanium tetrabromide, chloro-triethoxy titanium, dichloro-diethoxy titanium, trichloro-ethoxy titanium, triisopropoxy titanium chloride. Based on per mole of the alkoxymagnesium carrier, the dosage of the titanium-containing halide is 0.1 - 40 moles, preferably 1 - 20 moles. Typically but not restrictively, the dosage of the titanium-containing halide can be 0.1 mole, 0.5 mole, 1 mole, 5 moles, 10 moles, 15 moles, 20 moles, 30 moles, 40 moles.
[0040] According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing the main agent of the alkoxymagnesium carrier polyethylene catalyst as described above, which comprises the following steps:
[0041] (1) Under the protection of an inert gas, disperse the alkoxymagnesium carrier in an inert organic hydrocarbon organic solvent, and then add an organic alcohol, and stir and heat to 50 - 100 °C. Dispersing in the organic hydrocarbon organic solvent is to make the alkoxymagnesium carrier better dispersed and for heat transfer. Adding a very small amount of organic alcohol is to control the particle size of the catalyst.
[0042] (2) Add electron donor I (including aryl ester compounds) to the alkoxymagnesium carrier dispersion obtained in step (1), and then slowly heat it to 60 - 150 °C (for example, 2 - 5 hours) to form a solution. After reaching the temperature, continue stirring and reacting for 1 - 4 hours, and then naturally cool it to room temperature for standby. Adding aryl ester compounds as electron donors will react or complex with titanium halides, which can improve the activity of the catalyst while changing the aggregation state. The particle morphology of the polymer directly replicates the particle morphology of the catalyst. The more compact and regular the catalyst aggregates, the higher the bulk density of the polymer prepared by the catalyst.
[0043] (3) Preheat the titanium halide to 60 - 80 °C, and then slowly add the solution from step (2) dropwise to the titanium halide (for example, 2 - 5 hours). After the addition is completed, react for another 0.5 - 2 hours to obtain a suspension. The titanium halide is the main active component of the catalyst.
[0044] (4) Cool the suspension formed in step (3) to 0 - 40 °C, add a silicon-containing compound, and stir and react for 0.5 - 4 hours to form a catalyst intermediate. The silicon-containing compound has two functions. One is to improve the catalyst activity, and the other is to reduce the content of Mg and Ti metals in the catalyst. This is because Si atoms will coordinate with the carrier and occupy the positions of Ti and Mg atoms, thereby reducing the content of Mg and Ti.
[0045] (5) Transfer the catalyst intermediate formed in step (4) to an ultrasonic treatment device and perform ultrasonic treatment for 0.1 - 1.5 hours. The ultrasonic frequency is 20 KHz. The main function of ultrasonic treatment is to improve the particle morphology of the catalyst, help reduce the agglomeration phenomenon of catalyst particles, and make their particle morphology more spherical.
[0046] (6) After ultrasonic treatment, raise the temperature to 40 - 80 °C, and add electron donor II during the heating process or after reaching the temperature for reaction. After reaching the temperature, stir and react for 0.5 - 4 hours. The role of adding electron donor II is to react or complex with titanium halides to further improve the particle morphology of the catalyst and increase the number of its active centers.
[0047] (6) Wash with an organic solvent and adjust the number of washing times according to the titanium content in the required catalyst to obtain the main agent. This step is to wash away the free and excessive titanium ions in the catalyst slurry.
[0048] Among them, in some embodiments, the inert gas protection can be nitrogen protection.

The stirring reaction time is typically but not limited to 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours.
[0051] In step (3), the preheating temperature is typically but not limited to 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, the slow heating time is typically but not limited to 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, and the further reaction time is typically but not limited to 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours.
[0052] In step (4), the temperature reduction temperature is typically but not limited to 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, and the stirring reaction time is typically but not limited to 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours.
[0053] In step (5), the ultrasonic treatment time is typically but not limited to 0.1 hour, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 1.5 hours.
[0054] In step (6), the temperature increase temperature is typically but not limited to 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and the stirring reaction time is typically but not limited to 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours.
[0055] Preferably, the inert hydrocarbon organic solvent includes aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, octane, decane, pentane, dodecane, tetradecane, etc.; cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, cyclooctane, etc.; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, etc. Decane and toluene are preferred. When in use, the alkoxymagnesium carrier is dispersed in the inert hydrocarbon organic solvent and used as a dispersant. The amount of the inert hydrocarbon organic solvent is not particularly important. Calculated based on per mole of the alkoxymagnesium carrier, the amount of the inert hydrocarbon organic solvent is preferably 4 - 40 moles. Typically but not limited to, the amount of the inert hydrocarbon organic solvent can be 4 moles, 10 moles, 15 moles, 20 moles, 25 moles, 30 moles, 35 moles, 40 moles.
[0056] Organic alcohols are used for surface modification of the magnesium alkoxide support, which is more conducive to the uniform loading of subsequent titanium halides. Preferably, the organic alcohol includes at least one of linear alcohols or isomeric alcohols having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, cyclohexanol, decanol, isooctanol, dodecanol, 1,4-pentanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,3-butanediol, etc., and isooctanol and ethylene glycol are preferred. The amount of the organic alcohol is very small. Based on per mole of the magnesium alkoxide support, the amount of the organic alcohol is preferably 0.02 to 0.2 mole, and more preferably 0.05 to 0.1 mole. Typically but not restrictively, the amount of the organic alcohol can be 0.02 mole, 0.03 mole, 0.04 mole, 0.05 mole, 0.06 mole, 0.07 mole, 0.08 mole, 0.09 mole, 0.10 mole, 0.11 mole, 0.12 mole, 0.13 mole, 0.14 mole, 0.15 mole, 0.16 mole, 0.17 mole, 0.18 mole, 0.19 mole, 0.20 mole.

Representative compounds include silicon tetrachloride, methyl dichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, and dimethylchlorosilane.

Based on per mole of the magnesium alkoxide support, the amount of the electron donor II is 0.01 to 2 moles, preferably 0.1 to 1.5 moles. Typically but not restrictively, the amount of the electron donor II can be 0.01 mole, 0.05 mole, 0.1 mole, 0.5 mole, 1 mole, 1.5 mole, 2 moles.
[0059] The ultrasonic treatment device converts industrial frequency electricity into high-frequency electrical signals above 20KHz and transports them to the transducer through a high-frequency cable. The transducer can convert electrical energy into powerful ultrasonic vibrations. When ultrasonic waves are added to the catalyst preparation process, it helps to reduce the agglomeration of catalyst particles, make their dispersion more uniform, break the originally agglomerated particles, so that the particle size of the catalyst is more uniform and the generation of large catalyst particles is reduced.
[0060] According to the third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a magnesium alkoxide-supported polyethylene catalyst, which catalyst comprises components (A) and (B), wherein component (A) is the main agent as described above, and component (B) is a catalyst activator.

Representative compounds include (CH3)2AlCl, CH3AlCl2, EtAlCl2, Et2AlCl, Bu2AlCl, Pr2AlCl, etc., and at least one of (CH3)2AlCl and CH3AlCl2 is preferred.

Using the catalyst of the present invention to carry out ethylene slurry polymerization reaction at 0.7 MPa and 70 °C for 2 hours, the polymerization activity of the catalyst can reach 40,000 gPE / gCat, and it can be used to develop ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene products with relatively high requirements for ash content.
[0068] The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene product prepared by using the catalyst of the present invention has a relatively high bulk density, with a bulk density of 0.40 - 0.48 g / cm 3 , the average diameter of the polymer particles is 75 - 200 μm, and the viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymerization product can be accurately controlled within the range of 1.5 - 10 million.
[0069] The above technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below through specific examples.
[0070] The test methods for the catalyst performance and the polymer molecular weight in the examples are as follows:
[0071] The activity of the catalyst: It refers to the ratio of the total mass of the polyethylene obtained by polymerization to the amount of the catalyst added.
[0072] Determination of the viscosity-average molecular weight of the product: The viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymer is mainly measured by an Ubbelohde viscometer, and the molecular weight is determined according to GB - ASTMD4020 - 81. A certain amount of UHMWPE powder is dissolved in a decalin solution, and the efflux times of the pure decalin solution and the decalin solution containing UHMWPE are measured with an Ubbelohde viscometer at 135 °C.
[0073] [η] = K × M α
[0074]
[0075]
[0076] η sp = η [e] -1
[0077]
[0078] Where: t - the efflux time of a decalin / UHMWPE mixed solution at a certain concentration from an Ubbelohde viscometer, t0 - the efflux time of a pure decalin solution from an Ubbelohde viscometer, η sp - relative viscosity increment, η [e] - relative viscosity, C - sample concentration (g / ml), m - sample mass (g), S - room temperature correction value when adding decalin, [η] - intrinsic viscosity, K - proportionality constant, α - empirical constant, usually between 0.5 and 1, M - polymer viscosity-average molecular weight.

[0278] Table 1. Summary of catalyst olefin polymerization and evaluation results of its polymerization products
[0279]
[0280]
[0281] As can be seen from Examples 1-16, the catalyst prepared by the catalyst preparation method disclosed in this article has a relatively small average particle size, which is 3-6μm, and the particle size can be adjusted by adjusting the types and addition amounts of organic alcohols, silicon-containing compounds, and titanium-containing halides. The catalysts all show excellent catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization, and the catalytic activity can reach 4×10 4gPE / gCat. As can be seen from Examples 16 - 25, as the catalyst concentration in the polymerization reactor decreases, the molecular weight of the polymer shows an increasing trend. As can be seen from Examples 26 - 45, as the catalyst concentration in the polymerization reactor decreases and the polymerization temperature decreases, the molecular weight of the polymer shows an obvious increasing trend, but the activity of the catalyst and the bulk density of the polymer decrease, and the attenuation of the activity is more obvious. When the molecular weight is about 10 million, its activity can still reach more than 2×10 4 gPE / gCat, which is very beneficial for the development of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with low ash content.
