Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst containing the same, and its applications, belonging to the field of polyolefin catalysts. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, Ziegler-Natta catalysts (ZN catalysts) still dominate the production of polyolefins. Most ZN catalyst development focuses on developing highly active and stereoregularly oriented catalysts and improving their copolymerization capabilities. Traditional ZN catalysts (transition metal compounds such as titanium chemically bonded to a magnesium support) offer high catalytic efficiency, produce polymers with good overall performance, and are low-cost. Therefore, the vast majority of catalysts used in polypropylene production worldwide are still based on ZN catalytic systems, characterized by high activity, high stereoregularity, long lifespan, and customizable product structures. The development of ZN catalysts shows that, as early as the advent of the first generation of catalysts, it was discovered that adding a third component (mostly an electron donor, also known as a Lewis base; those added during catalyst preparation are called internal electron donors, while those added during polymerization are called external electron donors) significantly impacts olefin polymerization behavior and polymer properties. Changing the internal electron donor in the catalyst can maximally alter the properties of the catalyst's active center, thereby maximizing the change in catalyst performance. Therefore, the development of novel electron donors has always been a hot topic in ZN polypropylene catalyst research and development.
[0003] The high-performance internal electron donor compounds with distinctive features in the prior art mainly include: (1) fatty acid esters and aromatic esters, mainly phthalate esters; (2) diethers (e.g., compounds disclosed in EP0361493 and EP0728724); (3) succinates (e.g., compounds disclosed in WO9856834, WO0063261 and WO03022894); (4) glycol esters (e.g., compounds disclosed in WO9856834, WO0063261 and WO03022894); and (5) compounds with other functional groups (compounds disclosed in CN1105671, CN1242780 and US20060128558), etc. However, in practical applications, the above-mentioned compounds all have certain problems as internal electron donors for olefin polymerization catalysts. Although catalysts using 1,3-diether compounds as internal electron donors have high activity and good hydrogen-modulated sensitivity, the relative molecular mass distribution of the synthesized PP is narrow, which is not conducive to the development of different grades of PP. Succinate compounds as internal electron donors have the advantage of producing PP with a wider relative molecular mass distribution, but the stereoregularity of PP and the hydrogen-modulated sensitivity of the catalyst need to be improved. The activity of glycol ester catalytic systems is generally not as ideal as that of diether systems.
[0004] Currently, phthalate compounds are the most widely used internal electron donors in polyolefin industry. Catalysts prepared from phthalates exhibit moderate activity, good stereoselectivity, and low cost. However, as commonly used plasticizers, phthalates pose significant risks to human reproductive health and the environment, creating a substantial demand for alternatives. The use of most phthalate compounds has already been restricted. Therefore, developing novel electron donors with excellent activity, good stereoselectivity, superior overall performance, and low cost to replace the widely used phthalate electron donor compounds and applying them to the preparation of highly efficient Ziegler-Natta catalysts has been a common research goal in the field of polyolefin catalysts in recent years.

[0030] The present invention does not specifically limit the preparation method of the above-mentioned solid catalyst components, which can be carried out according to the following listed methods:
[0031] Method 1: A magnesium alkoxide or magnesium chloride alkoxide, excess TiCl4, and an internal electron donor are reacted at a temperature of 80℃-135℃; preferably, a general formula TiX can be used. N (OR b ) 4-N Titanium compounds (where R) b For C1-C 20 The hydrocarbon group, where X is a halogen and N = 1-4; preferably TiCl4) and the general formula MgCl2·mR a The adduct of OH (where m is a number from 0.1 to 6, preferably 2 to 4, and R) a For C1-C 20 Solid catalyst components are prepared by reacting hydrocarbon groups (or internal electron donors) with adducts of the general formula MgCl2·mRaOH. The adducts can be suitably prepared into spherical shapes by mixing an alcohol and magnesium chloride in the presence of an inert hydrocarbon immiscible with the adduct, followed by rapid cooling of the emulsion, thereby solidifying the adduct into spherical particles (see disclosures in US4399054 and US4469648). The spherical adducts obtained by this method can react directly with titanium compounds, or they can be pre-treated with a thermally controlled dealcoholization process (80°C-130°C) to obtain a dealcoholization adduct (wherein the molar number of the alcohol is generally less than 3, preferably between 0.1 and 2.5), before proceeding with subsequent reactions.
[0032] For example, the adduct or dealcohol adduct is suspended in cold TiCl4 (typically -25°C to 0°C) to react with a titanium compound, and the mixture is heated to 80°C to 130°C and held at this temperature for 0.5 to 2 hours. The treatment with TiCl4 can be performed once or multiple times, and an internal electron donor can be added during the TiCl4 treatment. This treatment can be repeated once or multiple times.
[0033] Method 2: A magnesium compound is dissolved in a solvent system consisting of an organic epoxy compound, an organophosphorus compound, and an inert diluent to form a homogeneous solution. This solution is then mixed with a titanium compound, and a solid is precipitated in the presence of a precipitation aid. This solid is treated with an internal electron donor to load the electron donor onto the solid. If necessary, further treatment with titanium tetrahalide and an inert diluent is performed. The precipitation aid is one of organic anhydrides, organic acids, ethers, or ketones. The components, per mole of magnesium halide, are: organic epoxy compound 0.2-10 mol, organophosphorus compound 0.1-3 mol, precipitation aid 0-1.0 mol, and Ti compound 0.5-150 mol (based on moles of titanium).
[0034] Method 3: React a TiCl4 or hydroxyl-titanium aromatic hydrocarbon solution (e.g., toluene, xylene, etc.) with a dialkoxymagnesium compound such as magnesium (preferably diethoxymagnesium) or diaryloxymagnesium at -25-0°C, and halogenate at 80-130°C. This treatment with the TiCl4 aromatic hydrocarbon solution can be repeated once or multiple times, and an internal electron donor is added once or in batches during multiple such treatments. For example, the preparation method of the titanium-containing solid catalyst component disclosed in US5077357 can be used as follows: Add magnesium ethoxy, tetraethoxytitanium, o-cresol, ethanol, and chlorobenzene sequentially, and stir; quickly add a TiCl4 / chlorobenzene solution to the above liquid, heat until completely dissolved, and continue heating to a specific temperature; use N2 bubbling to remove the ethanol reactants, and continue stirring for a certain period of time, then wash once with hot chlorobenzene, wash twice with isooctane, and then dry with N2 to obtain the support. Alternatively, as in another example: TiCl4, tetraethoxytitanium, ethoxymagnesium and o-cresol are added to chlorobenzene in sequence and stirred; ethanol is added, and after the ethoxymagnesium dissolves at high temperature, stirring is continued for 3 hours; the mixture is filtered while hot, then washed once with warm chlorobenzene, once with isooctane, and finally dried with N2.
[0035] Method 4: Magnesium dichloride is pre-activated using existing methods, and then treated with excess TiCl4 at approximately 80℃-135℃, wherein the solution contains an internal electron donor. The solid is treated with TiCl4 multiple times and washed with hexane to remove any unreacted TiCl4.
[0036] Method 5: Prepare the titanium-containing solid catalyst component according to the preparation method disclosed in CN1208045: First, contact the liquid magnesium compound and the liquid titanium compound at low temperature in the presence of a compound selected from alcohols, phenols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, amines, pyridines and esters to precipitate a solid. The contact temperature is generally -70℃ to 200℃, preferably -30℃ to 130℃. An internal electron donor is used during the contact process.
[0037] Method Six: Anhydrous magnesium chloride and an internal electron donor are ground together under conditions where magnesium dichloride is activated. The resulting product can be treated once or multiple times with excess TiCl4 at a temperature of 80℃-130℃, followed by washing with a hydrocarbon solvent until no chloride ions are present. A more detailed method is as follows: The product obtained by co-grinding anhydrous magnesium dichloride, a titanium compound, and an internal electron donor is treated with a haloalkane such as 1,2-dichloroethane, chlorobenzene, or dichloromethane. This treatment is carried out at a temperature between 40℃ and the boiling point of the haloalkane for 1-4 hours, followed by washing with an inert hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane.
[0038] Method 7: Magnesium compounds supported on inorganic oxides such as SiO2, alumina, or porous silica gel are used as carriers for preparation. The mixture is then activated using well-known methods and treated with an excess of TiCl4 at a temperature of approximately 80℃-135℃. An internal electron donor is added during the treatment process.
[0039] The reaction of the above-mentioned catalyst components leads to the formation of magnesium halides in an active form. Typical crystalline magnesium halides have a regular structure and can support very little Ti, resulting in low catalytic activity. To prepare highly active supported catalysts, magnesium halides must undergo activation treatment. Activation methods include using physical and / or chemical methods to prepare them into microcrystals so that active centers are supported on the surface, edges, and defects of the magnesium halide. These treated magnesium halide microcrystals suitable for supporting Ti are called "activated magnesium halides." Besides these reactions, other methods are known in the literature to form magnesium halides in an active form from starting materials different from magnesium halides.
[0040] In any method for preparing the catalyst component, the aforementioned internal electron donor can be added directly or optionally obtained in situ using a suitable precursor that can be converted in the desired internal electron donor via known chemical reactions such as esterification or transesterification. Typically, the internal electron donor is used at a molar ratio of 0.01-5, preferably 0.05-3.0, relative to the molar number of MgCl2. Furthermore, the internal electron donor can be added simultaneously or separately during the preparation process, either in batches or in any order and combination.

[0069] This invention provides a catalyst component using substituted maltol derivatives as internal electron donors. A preferred type of internal electron donor is a substituted maltol ester compound. The oxygen atoms of the internal electron donor in this catalyst component are strategically positioned on the carbon skeleton, exhibiting stronger coordination ability and facilitating the participation of oxygen-containing functional groups in the formation of active centers. Catalysts prepared using the internal electron donors of this invention generally exhibit higher activity than industrially most commonly used phthalate-based internal electron donor catalysts, and also higher activity than highly active diether catalysts. Furthermore, they demonstrate good stereoselectivity, resulting in polymers with high isotacticity. In addition, some maltol derivative compounds are commercially available raw materials, simplifying the preparation route. The substituted maltol is a widely used flavoring agent and food additive both domestically and internationally, ensuring the raw material's safety and low cost, thus reducing catalyst production costs. Detailed Implementation
[0070] In order to provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives and beneficial effects of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail below, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention.
[0071] The isotacticity of polymers was determined by the heptane extraction method (boiling heptane extraction for 6 hours): two grams of dry polymer sample were placed in an extractor and extracted with boiling heptane for 6 hours. The residue was then dried to constant weight. The ratio of the obtained polymer weight (g) to 2 is the isotacticity.
[0072] The bulk density of the polymer was determined using the method specified in JB / T 2412-2008.
