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, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, Ziegler-Natta type olefin polymerization catalysts still dominate the industrial production of polyolefins. In the slurry polymerization process of ethylene, the Ziegler-Natta catalysts are required to have high polymerization activity, the powder prepared by the catalysts is required to have high bulk density, and the product resin is required to have excellent performance.

[0003] In the process of ethylene polymerization, a catalyst with excellent hydrogen regulation performance can perform chain transfer reaction at a lower hydrogen / ethylene ratio, thereby achieving the expected molecular weight of the resin, and the use of a smaller amount of hydrogen also reduces the suppression of polymerization activity. Developing a catalyst with high hydrogen regulation sensitivity can not only reduce the hydrogen consumption of the polymerization device, but also improve the polymerization activity to some extent. However, during the production of multi-modal grades such as PE100 grade pipe resin grades and multi-modal membrane material grades, the hydrogen regulation sensitivity is too high under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio, and problems such as "pockmarks" and "crystal points" often occur, which seriously affects the quality of the product. Therefore, it is very important to develop a catalyst with hydrogen regulation sensitivity under high hydrogen / ethylene ratio and moderate hydrogen regulation performance under low hydrogen / ethylene ratio.

[0004] In some slurry polymerization processes, the polymer / hexane slurry is separated by centrifugation, and the hexane carrying amount of the high bulk density powder is lower, which is beneficial to reduce the energy consumption of powder drying and improve the load of the drying unit, thereby increasing the load of the polymerization reaction unit. In addition, due to excellent flow performance, high bulk density powder is beneficial to the efficient operation of the powder conveying unit of the industrial device, thereby enabling the industrial device to achieve higher production load. Therefore, it is very important to develop a catalyst for preparing high bulk density powder.

[0005] To balance the high activity, excellent hydrogen response and high bulk density of the prepared polymer powder, researchers have made a lot of exploration and research. There are patents reported, for example, in Chinese patent CN1086191C, which uses magnesium chloride as the carrier and titanium tetrachloride as the active component. The preparation method of the catalyst is as follows: first, dissolve MgCl2 in a solvent system to form a uniform transparent solution, then react with TiCl4 at low temperature, and precipitate the solid catalyst by slowly heating. When the prepared catalyst component is used for ethylene polymerization, the catalyst has high catalytic activity, and the catalyst particle morphology is also improved to a certain extent. However, due to the unsatisfactory polymer particle morphology, especially the unsatisfactory flowability of the prepared polymer powder, it is difficult to fully meet the needs of industrial production when producing some resins with high requirements for polymer powder particle morphology and powder flowability, and the hydrogen response is not good, and the hydrogen consumption of the polymerization device is high.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a polyethylene catalyst which can prepare high activity and high hydrogen response sensitivity and moderate low hydrogen response sensitivity, and the catalyst can polymerize to obtain high bulk density of powder particles, and the prepared polymer powder should have good flowability. SUMMARY

[0007] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst and a preparation method and application. The catalyst component and the catalyst containing the catalyst component have high polymerization activity and hydrogen response sensitivity, can catalyze ethylene polymerization to obtain high bulk density of powder particles, and the content of fine powder with a size of less than 75 μm is greatly reduced, and there is almost no fine powder.

[0156] The specific test results are shown in table 3 and table 4.

[0157] Table 3

[0158]

[0159] As shown by the results in Table 3, compared with the catalyst of the comparative example, the catalyst of the inventive example has a great increase in the polymerization activity and melt index under the condition of high hydrogen / ethylene ratio, indicating that the hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of high hydrogen / ethylene ratio is greatly improved, and the melt index under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio does not change significantly, indicating that the hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio is moderate. The catalyst with high hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of high hydrogen / ethylene ratio and moderate hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio can greatly reduce the hydrogen consumption in the production of multimodal polyethylene resin, and can avoid the occurrence of "pitting" of pipe material and "crystallization point" of film material in the production of PE100 grade pipe material resin and multimodal film material resin. The catalyst of the inventive example has a high bulk density of the prepared powder, and the bulk density of the powder under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio can be ≥0.36 g / mL.

[0161]

[0162] As shown by the results in Table 4, the polymerization powder prepared by the catalyst of the inventive example has a great decrease in the content of fine powder with a size of less than 75 μm, and almost no fine powder.

[0163] As can be known from the above conclusion, the present application first discloses a catalyst component. The catalyst component has a concentrated particle size distribution; the hydrogen regulation sensitivity of the catalyst component under the condition of high hydrogen / ethylene ratio is greatly improved, and the hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio is moderate. The catalyst with high hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of high hydrogen / ethylene ratio and moderate hydrogen regulation sensitivity under the condition of low hydrogen / ethylene ratio can greatly reduce the hydrogen consumption in the production of multimodal polyethylene resin, and can avoid the occurrence of "pitting" of pipe material and "crystallization point" of film material in the production of PE100 grade pipe material resin and multimodal film material resin. The catalyst component can catalyze the polymerization of ethylene to obtain powder particles with high bulk density, and the content of fine powder with a size of less than 75 μm in the polymerization powder is greatly reduced, and almost no fine powder is present.
