Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polyolefin catalysis, and in particular to a catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Low molecular weight polyethylene (LMWPE) is a waxy polyolefin resin commonly known as polyethylene wax. Its molecular weight generally ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 g / mol, with a relatively concentrated molecular weight distribution of approximately 1 to 5. Its crystallinity is 50 to 80%. Its melting point varies depending on its average molecular weight, typically between 90°C and 120°C. Its melt viscosity is low, with melt viscosity and hardness close to those of paraffin wax. In practical applications, LMWPE is primarily used as a replacement for traditional paraffin wax. Its excellent compatibility with other polyolefin resins has led to its widespread use in the chemical industry.

[0003] In the prior art, metallocene catalysts are commonly used to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene in the production of polyethylene wax. Although traditional metallocene catalysts have demonstrated high activity in polymerization reactions, their preparation methods are relatively complex, the raw materials and preparation costs are high, and they are sensitive to water and oxygen, making them difficult to store. With the growing demand for the polyethylene wax synthesis industry, the demand for catalysts continues to increase. Therefore, using traditional metallocene catalysts to synthesize large quantities of polyethylene wax would result in excessively high industrial production costs.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0029] As mentioned in the background, metallocene catalysts are commonly used in the preparation of polyethylene wax in the prior art. However, the synthesis of conventional metallocene catalysts is complex, which in turn increases the cost of preparing such catalysts, further increasing the cost of preparing polyethylene wax. Excessively high preparation costs are detrimental to the industrialization of polyethylene wax. Therefore, in this application, the inventors have attempted to develop a new catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax that has a simple preparation process and low cost, can replace metallocene catalysts, and successfully catalyzes the synthesis of polyethylene wax. Based on this, a series of protection schemes are proposed in this application.

[0030] In a first typical embodiment of the present application, a catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax is provided, and the structure of the catalyst is shown in the following formula I:

[0031]

[0032] Wherein, R1 is selected from hydrogen, n-alkyl, adamantyl or tert-butyl; R2 is selected from hydrogen, n-alkyl, adamantyl or tert-butyl; n-alkyl includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl or n-hexyl; M is selected from Ti or Zr.

[0033] In the prior art, when synthesizing polyethylene wax, metallocene catalysts with high catalytic activity are usually selected due to the special chemical properties and molecular distribution of polyethylene wax. However, the preparation method of metallocene catalysts is complicated, which leads to an increase in the preparation cost of such catalysts, further increasing the cost of synthesizing polyethylene wax.

[0034] The catalyst of the present application utilizes Ti or Zr as the metal element of the catalytic center and introduces a large steric hindered group on biphenol to obtain a new catalyst that can be used in the synthesis of polyethylene wax. Compared with metallocenes, the preparation cost is lower, the water and oxygen sensitivity is also low, and it is easier to store. It can successfully catalyze the synthesis of polyethylene wax. When used in the synthesis of polyethylene wax, the catalyst of the present application has the same effect as the synthesis reaction involving metallocene catalysts in the prior art, but the cost is lower, further reducing the cost of polyethylene wax synthesis, and is more suitable for application in the industrialization of polyethylene wax.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst comprises:

[0036] In addition to high preparation costs, metallocene catalysts are also overly sensitive to water and oxygen, making them difficult to store. The gold catalysts in this application, on the other hand, are less sensitive to water and oxygen, less susceptible to deactivation, and easier to store. Furthermore, by adjusting the type of sterically hindered substituents on the biphenyl ring of this catalyst, the steric and electronic effects of the metal center can be controlled, thereby regulating the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polyethylene polymer. This allows for the production of highly linear, low-molecular-weight polyethylene waxes with a narrow molecular weight distribution, controllable molecular weight, and high crystallinity.

[0037] "Ad" is the abbreviation of "Adamany", which means adamantyl. t "Bu" refers to "di(tert-butyl)", i.e. tert-butyl.

[0038] In a second typical embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing a catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax is provided, the method comprising: mixing and stirring a first compound and a second compound under a first atmosphere to obtain a catalyst; the first compound comprises tetraisopropyl titanate (Ti(O i Pr)4) and / or tetraisopropyl zirconate (Zr(O i Pr) 4) Preferably, the compound is a toluene solution of tetraisopropyl titanate and / or a toluene solution of tetraisopropyl zirconate.

[0039] The structural formula of the second compound is shown in Formula II:

[0040]

[0041] Among them, R3 is selected from hydrogen, n-alkyl, adamantyl or tert-butyl; R4 is selected from hydrogen, n-alkyl, adamantyl or tert-butyl; R5 is selected from hydrogen, n-alkyl, adamantyl or tert-butyl; R6 is selected from hydrogen, n-alkyl, adamantyl or tert-butyl; n-alkyl includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl or n-hexyl.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the second compound includes: a) mixing the third compound, the fourth compound, and the Lewis acid in a solvent under a first atmosphere and conducting a first reaction to obtain a first reaction system; b) adjusting the pH of the first reaction system to 5-6, and then purifying the first reaction system to obtain the second compound; the third compound includes an adamantane compound or a tert-butyl compound; the fourth compound includes biphenol; preferably, the adamantane compound includes one or more of adamantane alcohol, chloroadamantane, bromoadamantane or iodoadamantane; preferably, the tert-butyl compound includes one or more of tert-butyl chloride, tert-butyl bromide or tert-butyl iodide.

[0043] The present application utilizes the reaction of biphenol with Lewis acid to introduce a large sterically hindered substituent on the biphenyl ring. By adjusting the substituent type on the biphenyl ring of the catalyst of the present application, the activity of the single-site catalyst is retained, the spatial and electronic effects of the metal center are controlled, and the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polyethylene polymer are regulated. In addition, the catalyst is less sensitive to water and oxygen and is easier to preserve than metallocene catalysts. The route for preparing the catalyst of the present application is short and the steps are simple. It is easy to separate and purify in the subsequent ethylene polymerization reaction for preparing polyethylene wax. The industrial cost is low, which is beneficial to the overall cost of polyethylene wax synthesis and promotes the industrial development of polyethylene wax synthesis.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the first reaction is 20-50°C, including but not limited to 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C, 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, 31°C, 32°C, 33°C, 34°C, 35°C, 36°C, 37°C, 38°C, 39°C, 40°C, 41°C, 42°C, 43°C, 44°C, 45°C, 46°C, 47°C, 48°C, 49°C or 50°C, and the time of the first reaction is 1-10 hours, including but not limited to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 hours; preferably, the solvent comprises one or more of dichloromethane, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride or nitrobenzene; preferably, the Lewis acid comprises one of concentrated sulfuric acid, AlCl3, FeCl3, BBr3 or BCl3.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the first atmosphere comprises an inert gas; preferably, the inert gas comprises one or more of argon, nitrogen or helium.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, S1) under a first atmosphere, the first compound and the second compound are first mixed at -75 to -60°C (including but not limited to -75°C, -70°C, -65°C or -60°C) to obtain a first mixed system, and stirred until the temperature of the first mixed system rises to 15 to 30°C (including but not limited to 15°C, 16°C, 17°C, 18°C, 19°C, 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C, 26°C, ℃, 27℃, 28℃, 29℃ or 30℃) to obtain a second mixed system; S2) heating the second mixed system to 50-80℃ (including but not limited to 50℃, 60℃, 70℃ or 80℃) to carry out a second reaction to obtain the catalyst; preferably, the time of the second reaction is 10-24h, including but not limited to 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 or 24h.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the preparation method of the above-mentioned catalyst comprises: under the protection of an inert atmosphere, using a Lewis acid as a catalyst, adding a third compound, a fourth compound and a solvent to a reactor, reacting at a temperature of 0 to 90° C. for 1 to 10 hours, adjusting the pH to weakly acidic with a 1M NaOH solution at 0° C., allowing the layers to stand, extracting the aqueous layer with dichloromethane, combining the organic phases, washing with a saturated NaCl aqueous solution until neutral, drying with anhydrous NaSO4, filtering, removing the solvent under reduced pressure, and performing silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate as eluents to obtain white needle-shaped crystals, i.e., the above-mentioned second compound;

[0048] The second compound was prepared into a toluene solution, and M(O i A toluene solution of Pr)4 (first compound) (first mixed system) is slowly restored to room temperature (second mixed system), reacted at 50-80°C for 10-24h (second reaction), and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The obtained solid is washed three times with n-hexane, the supernatants are combined, and placed in a refrigerator for recrystallization to obtain the catalyst of the present application.

[0049] By controlling the temperature, time and pH range of the catalyst prepared in the present application, a catalyst with high activity and good thermal stability can be prepared, which is beneficial to the synthesis reaction of polyethylene wax in which it participates.

[0050] In a second typical embodiment of the present application, a catalytic composition for preparing polyethylene wax is provided, the catalytic composition comprising a first catalyst and a second catalyst;

[0051] The first catalyst comprises the above-mentioned catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax, or a catalyst prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing the catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax, or a catalyst prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing the catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax; the second catalyst comprises an aluminum alkyl. Preferably, the aluminum alkyl comprises ethylaluminum sesquichloride.

[0052] The catalyst of the present application has a large steric hindrance substituent group with multiple substitutions and a single catalytic active center, and can achieve regulation of polymer molecular weight by changing its substituent group, structure and polymerization reaction conditions. In the polymerization reaction of synthetic polyethylene wax, the traditional co-catalyst that participates in the reaction together with the metallocene catalyst is MAO and MMAO-based catalysts, which also have the disadvantages of difficulty in synthesis and high cost. When the above-mentioned catalyst of the present application is used as the main catalyst for synthetic polyethylene wax, the secondary catalyst can be replaced by the low-priced alkyl aluminum sesquiethylaluminum chloride instead of the traditional high-cost MAO and MMAO co-catalyst. When the catalyst of the present application and sesquiethylaluminum chloride are used in the synthetic reaction of polyethylene wax, the catalytic activity is high and the performance is more stable, and polyethylene wax with a small molecular weight and narrow distribution can be successfully synthesized.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of the first catalyst to the second catalyst is 1:100-6000.

[0054] In a fourth typical embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing polyethylene wax is provided, which comprises: using the above-mentioned catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax as a catalyst, or a catalyst prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing the catalyst for preparing polyethylene wax, or using the above-mentioned catalytic composition for preparing polyethylene wax to catalyze the polymerization reaction of ethylene to synthesize polyethylene wax.

[0055] When the catalyst of the present application is used to catalyze the reaction of preparing polyethylene wax, the synthesis method includes: adding a toluene solution (1 to 5 mL) of the catalyst of the present application and the above-mentioned co-catalyst at an ethylene pressure of 1.0 to 3.0 MPa, using toluene or chlorobenzene as a solvent, and reacting at a reaction temperature of 0 to 170°C for 15 to 60 minutes to prepare polyethylene wax.

[0056] When used in the catalytic synthesis of polyethylene wax, the catalyst of the present application has high reaction activity and good thermal stability, exhibits strong control performance on the molecular weight of polyethylene wax, and can prepare highly linear low molecular weight polyethylene wax.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the molecular weight of the polyethylene wax is 1.00×10 3 ~8.00×10 3 g / mol, preferably, the polymerization activity of the ethylene polymerization reaction occurring during the synthesis of polyethylene wax exceeds 1.00×10 6 g / molCat / h.

[0058] In the specific embodiment of the present application, under the conditions of 100°C and 30 min, the activity of the catalyst of the present application in catalyzing ethylene polymerization can be as high as 2.910×10 6 g / (mol·Ti·h), 2.164×10 6 g / (mol·Zr·h), and even at a relatively high temperature of 120°C, the reaction activity of the catalyst of the present application can still reach 0.664×10 6 g / (mol·Ti·h), 1.539×10 6 g / (mol·Zr·h), which proves that the catalyst of the present application has good thermal stability, can adapt to the operating temperature of industrial production, and has broad industrial application prospects.
