Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a catalyst for diolefin polymerization. More specifically, it is a catalyst for trans - oriented polymerization of diolefins, its preparation method and uses. The catalyst can improve the catalytic efficiency of diolefin polymerization and the content of trans - structure in the polymer. Background Art
[0002] Anhydrous magnesium chloride (α - MgCl2) has a cubic close - packed layered structure, with the characteristics of high crystallinity, low specific surface area and no reactive groups with substances such as TiCl4. Therefore, if it is to be used as a support for supported Ziegler - Natta catalysts, it must be activated, that is, the crystal structure of α - MgCl2 is destroyed, the grain size is reduced, and highly disordered δ - MgCl2 is formed. There are mainly two methods for activating the MgCl2 support: physical grinding method and chemical method.
[0003] Most of the supports for titanium - based supported Ziegler - Natta catalysts used in diolefin polymerization adopt the physically (grinding) activated method with simple process, that is, the support (usually anhydrous MgCl2) and the active substance (usually TiCl4) are added to a planetary ball mill for grinding. While achieving the activation of the support, the active substance can be complexed onto the support. The activity of the catalyst obtained by this method is relatively low, and the morphology of the catalyst particles is uncontrollable. For example, previously reported: CN 105623001A (activity greater than 500 g polymer / gTi / h, trans - content greater than 97%), CN 108690156A (activity of 523.6 g polymer / gTi / h, trans - content greater than 98%), CN 113773426A (highest activity of 3872 g polymer / gTi / h, highest trans - content of 97.8%).
[0004] Therefore, in order to better meet the requirements of industrialization and reduce production costs, it is necessary to prepare a supported Ziegler - Natta catalyst with high efficiency and high orientation.
[0005] Compared with the catalyst obtained by activating the support through physical grinding method, the catalyst particles with good particle morphology and high specific surface area can be prepared by activating the support through chemical activation method, making the catalyst have higher polymerization activity and has been widely used in the industrial production of α-olefins such as ethylene and propylene. However, there are few reports on the supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst for diolefin polymerization prepared by chemical activation method. CN105504113A reported the polymerization of isoprene catalyzed by a double-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst prepared by adding SiO2 during the chemical activation process, with a polymerization activity of 9.2 g polymer / gCat / h and a trans content of 98.2%; CN 117467039A reported the preparation of an active MgCl2 support using Mg powder as a raw material, loading TiCl4 and catalyzing the polymerization of isoprene, with a polymerization activity reaching 14740.35 g polymer / gTi, but the trans content is relatively low (93.2 mol%). Summary of the Invention
[0006] Based on the problems existing in the existing catalysts for diolefin polymerization, such as low catalytic efficiency or low trans structure content, the present invention discloses a special catalyst for preparing a magnesium chloride alcoholate support precursor by chemically activating magnesium chloride and using this to prepare a catalyst, so as to achieve higher catalytic efficiency for diolefin polymerization and the trans structure content of the polymer.
