Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polyethylene catalysts, and in particular to a high-activity chromium-based polyethylene catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chromium-based polyethylene catalysts are among the most important catalysts in the industrial production of polyethylene, with the Phillips catalyst being the most representative. These catalysts typically consist of hexavalent chromium as the active component, supported on a carrier such as porous silica gel or modified silica gel. They offer significant advantages, including high catalytic activity, a simple process, and the absence of a co-catalyst. J. P. Hogan and R. L. Bank reported a silica-gel-supported chromium oxide catalyst in patent US2825721, which later became known as the first generation of Phillips catalysts. Other patents, such as US4294724, US4295997, US4528338, US5401820, and US6388017, have investigated modifications to these supported chromium oxide catalysts, leading to the development of the Phillips catalyst.

[0003] Chromium-based catalysts can produce polyethylene products with high molecular weights and wide molecular weight distributions. This results in the final product possessing excellent mechanical and processing properties, and is widely used in high-performance products such as pipes and hollow parts. However, this type of catalyst also has some limitations, such as relatively low utilization of the active component, difficulty in adjusting molecular weight, and limited adaptability of the comonomer. Furthermore, because they contain hexavalent chromium, special attention must be paid to environmental protection requirements during use. Low-activity catalysts will result in large amounts of catalyst residues remaining in the raw materials, reducing raw material performance and limiting their application areas.

[0004] In recent years, research on chromium-based catalysts has focused on support modification technologies, the development of new co-catalysts, the optimization of active site structures, and the regulation of product performance. By developing new support materials, improving the structure of active components, and enhancing catalytic efficiency, researchers are striving to develop a new generation of more efficient and environmentally friendly chromium-based catalysts to meet growing market demand. These advances have not only boosted catalyst performance but also provided new directions for the sustainable development of the polyethylene industry.

[0005] To address the relatively low utilization rate of active components, Chinese patent CN112409514A uses ultrasonic technology during the catalyst loading stage to reduce carrier breakage and increase loading uniformity, thereby improving activity. Chinese patent CN103159875A enhances the polymerization activity of the catalyst through a new catalyst preparation process. Chinese patent CN108976322A improves catalyst activity by simultaneously introducing vanadium and chromium into a porous inorganic carrier.

[0006] However, the above methods can only increase the catalyst activity to within 500 gPE / gCAT / h. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-activity chromium-based polyethylene catalyst and a preparation method thereof, so as to improve the activity of the catalyst.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a high-activity chromium-based polyethylene catalyst, comprising an inorganic carrier modified with alkyl aluminum and / or alkoxy aluminum and chromium and titanium elements sequentially loaded on the modified inorganic carrier.

[0010] Preferably, the content of the chromium element accounts for 0.1 to 5.0% of the mass of the modified inorganic carrier.

[0017] A method for preparing the above-mentioned highly active chromium-based polyethylene catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0018] (1) Inorganic support modification: using alkyl aluminum and / or alkoxy aluminum to modify the inorganic support to obtain a modified inorganic support;

[0019] (2) Chromium loading: a chromium salt is prepared into a solution using a solvent, and the solution is mixed with the modified inorganic carrier. After thorough mixing, the solution is heated and allowed to stand until dry, thereby obtaining a modified inorganic carrier powder loaded with chromium.

[0020] (3) Titanium loading: The modified inorganic carrier powder loaded with chromium is further mixed with an organic titanium compound solution and a co-catalyst, and after thorough mixing, the mixture is allowed to stand, and then the temperature is raised until it is dry, thereby obtaining a modified inorganic carrier powder loaded with both chromium and titanium elements;

[0021] (4) High-temperature calcination: The modified inorganic carrier powder loaded with chromium and titanium elements is further calcined in a dry non-reducing gas environment at a calcination temperature of 300 to 950° C. for 0.5 to 48 hours to obtain the chromium-based polyethylene catalyst.

[0022] Preferably, step (1) adopts an impregnation method for blending modification.

[0023] Preferably, step (2) is heated and allowed to stand at 50°C to 110°C.

[0024] Preferably, the chromium salt in step (2) is one or more of chromium acetate, dichromate, chromate, chromium nitrate or chromium oxide.

[0025] Preferably, the content of chromium in the chromium salt in step (2) accounts for 0.1 to 5.0% of the mass of the modified inorganic carrier.

[0026] Preferably, the solvent in step (2) is water, an alcohol solvent or a ketone solvent.

[0027] More preferably, the alcohol solvent is methanol, ethanol or propanol.

[0028] More preferably, the ketone solvent is acetone or butanone.

[0029] Preferably, after step (3) is fully mixed, the mixture is allowed to stand at 0-50°C for 0-4 hours, and then the temperature is raised to 60-80°C until it is dry.

[0037] The present invention has discovered through research that a catalyst obtained by sequentially loading a chromium-containing compound and then a titanium-containing compound on an inorganic carrier modified with alkylaluminum and / or alkoxyaluminum and then calcining the catalyst at high temperature can, under the synergistic action of titanium, chromium, and aluminum, produce a high polymerization activity, and can increase the polymerization activity to above 3000 gPE / gCAT / h.

[0038] Furthermore, the catalyst using the specific treatment method of the present invention can greatly stimulate the reaction activity of the loaded chromium under the synergistic effect of specific proportions of titanium, chromium, and aluminum, resulting in extremely high polymerization activity, which can be increased to 8,000 to 20,000 gPE / gCAT / h.

[0039] The present invention also discovered that when the effective concentration of chromium loading reaches 3wt% or above, polymerization activity is significantly improved. However, in order to effectively load chromium at a high concentration and act as a good active center, the support must first be treated with alkyl aluminum and / or alkoxy aluminum, and then, after loading the chromium, a titanium compound must be loaded from outside the system. If only the support itself contains aluminum, titanium, and other elements, or if there are differences in the support treatment steps, or if aluminum, titanium, and other elements are introduced by other means, even if a large amount of chromium salt is loaded, it will not effectively act as a good active center and will not improve polymerization activity.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] 1. The present invention provides a highly active chromium-based polyethylene and a preparation method thereof, which significantly enhances the polymerization activity of the chromium-based polyethylene, reduces production costs, and improves product cleanliness.

[0042] 2. The present invention provides a highly active chromium-based catalyst that can reduce the polymerization cost of chromium-based polyethylene resins and lower the content of impurities introduced by the catalyst in the resin product;

[0043] 3. The chromium-based catalyst prepared by this invention has an activity increased by more than 10 times, significantly reducing the production cost of chromium-based polyethylene products, lowering the impurity content of the products, and improving product quality;

[0044] 4. Compared with other existing methods for preparing chromium-based polyethylene catalysts, the catalyst preparation method of the present invention is simple and has industrial potential. The activity of the resulting catalyst is significantly improved, and it has good market prospects.

[0045] 5. The present invention, through the synergistic effect of titanium, chromium, and aluminum, can greatly stimulate the reactive activity of the loaded chromium, resulting in extremely high activity in the polymerization reaction, thereby improving the polymerization activity;

[0046] 6. The present invention utilizes the steps of modification of inorganic carriers with alkyl aluminum and / or alkoxy aluminum, chromium loading, titanium loading, and high-temperature calcination to effectively load the chromium element at a high concentration, thereby acting as a good active center and improving polymerization activity.

[0085] Comparative Example 1

[0086] The same carrier modification, chromium loading and calcination methods as in Example 1 were used, but titanium loading was not performed. The remaining preparation conditions were the same as in Example 1 to obtain a catalyst. The obtained catalyst was evaluated to have an activity of 350 gPE / gCAT / h.

[0087] Comparative Example 2

[0088] Based on the carrier modification of Example 1, titanium loading was first performed and then chromium loading was performed, and then high-temperature calcination was performed.

[0091] Comparative Example 4

[0092] In Example 1, the support was not modified with alkyl aluminum. Instead, a mixture of ethanol and potassium dichromate at a mass ratio of 5:1 was blended with the modified support. Triisobutylaluminum was then blended with the mixture at a mass ratio of 0.1:600. All other preparation conditions were the same as in Example 1. The resulting catalyst was evaluated by polymerization and found to be inactive.

[0093] Table 1 Key parameters and performance data of each embodiment and comparative example

[0094]

[0095] The table above shows that using aluminum alkyls or aluminum alkoxides (such as triisobutylaluminum and diethylaluminum ethoxide) to modify the support significantly improves catalyst activity. The selection of chromium and titanium sources and their loading order have a significant impact on catalyst activity. Failure to load titanium (Comparative Example 1) or unmodified support (Comparative Example 3) significantly reduces catalyst activity. Loading titanium before chromium (Comparative Example 2) completely deactivates the catalyst.

It will be apparent that those skilled in the art can readily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without requiring inventive effort.
