Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of olefin polymerization catalysts, and further relates to a catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a special polyethylene variety with a molecular weight greater than 1.5 million. Most of the commercial UHMWPE is currently prepared by Ziegler-Natta catalyst (Z-N catalyst), which has unparalleled wear resistance, impact resistance, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, low temperature resistance, hygiene, non-toxicity, non-adhesion, non-water absorption, small density, and other comprehensive properties compared with ordinary polyethylene and other engineering plastics. Very high molecular weight polyethylene (VHMWPE) refers to polyethylene with a molecular weight between 300,000 and 1.5 million. The product has excellent mechanical properties, high impact strength, and good wear resistance. Compared with UHMWPE, VHMWPE has better processing performance and can be used in application fields with better performance and lower cost than ordinary polyethylene. Its downstream applications usually include pressed plates, extruded profiles, pipes, battery separators, sintered filter materials, and modified extruded UHMWPE granules. VHMWPE is mainly used for pipe and modified injection molding applications in extrusion molding processing. A new use of VHMWPE is for wet lithium-ion battery separators, especially those produced by the wet biaxial stretching method, which have high longitudinal and transverse strength due to biaxial stretching.
[0003] Due to the difficulty in processing UHMWPE, its large-scale application is hindered. Two key requirements for high-end products are: 1. Suitable molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution according to the application. 2. Low hexane extractable content and ash content. When used in lithium battery separators or artificial joints, it must have low ash content to improve the anti-breakdown capacity of the product or reduce the impact on the human body. 3. Good swelling performance. When producing lithium battery separators using a wet process, the base material needs to be swelled before film formation. Good swelling performance can reduce the requirements on equipment, shorten the processing time, and help to increase the tensile strength of the separator and optimize the extrusion processing performance of the separator. Most of the widely used high-end special / ultra high molecular weight polyethylene products are from abroad. With the continuous advancement of the aging process in China, the increasing demand for health and the improvement of payment ability, as well as the development of the lithium-ion battery industry, domestic special / ultra high molecular weight polyethylene powder manufacturers still have room for improvement.
[0004] The present inventors have found that when the polymer particles are uniform, the content of hexane extractables is low and the sphericity is high, the processing of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene by using the plunger extrusion, the mold pressing, the dry / wet method bidirectional stretching method is easier and the quality is higher. Especially in the production of lithium battery diaphragm by using the wet process, the polymer is uniformly swollen, the balance time is short, the solvent exudation amount is low, the production efficiency and the product quality of the diaphragm can be effectively improved. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a catalyst for producing the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with appropriate particle size, uniform distribution, narrow molecular weight distribution, good swelling performance and high sphericity. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.

The present inventors have found that by using the specific method in the present application to prepare the spherical or spherical-like fixed catalyst intermediate, and by using the specific method in the present application to treat the fixed catalyst intermediate, and by using the step of treating the fixed catalyst intermediate with the organic aluminum compound, the swelling performance of the catalyst can be unexpectedly and significantly improved, the catalyst has high activity, and the obtained polymer has high bulk density, narrow particle size distribution, narrow molecular weight distribution and controllable number average molecular weight.

[0175] From Table 1, under the specific composition of the present application, under the synergistic cooperation of each component, especially using the specific preparation method, by adding the organoaluminum compound after two times of titanium loading, the catalyst has high catalyst activity and bulk density, and the obtained polymer has controllable molecular weight, narrow distribution Mw / Mn≤7, spherical degree SPHT≥0.75, and swelling time ≤40 min. The catalysts in Comparative Examples 1-4 are not treated by the method of the present application and two times of titanium loading, the particle size distribution (span value) is wide, the spherical degree is slightly poor, resulting in long swelling time. The addition of alcohol compound (ethanol) in the early stage in Comparative Example 5 does not form a dissolution and precipitation system, and the addition of ethanol in the early stage has a great influence on the activity of the catalyst, but affects the particle type of the catalyst, so the spherical degree is not high.
