Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of olefin polymerization catalysts, and relates to an internal electron donor compound for olefin polymerization, such as alpha-olefin polymerization, a catalyst component and an olefin polymerization method. BACKGROUND

[0002] It is well known that the Ziegler-Natta catalysts for olefin polymerization comprise three parts of a magnesium chloride carrier, an internal electron donor compound and a titanium compound, wherein the internal electron donor compound can not only improve the activity of the catalyst, but also enhance the stereospecificity of the catalyst. If the catalyst lacks a suitable internal electron donor compound, the activity of the catalyst will be affected, and the polymer prepared therefrom may have low isotacticity, leading to production difficulties and limiting end applications.

[0003] Up to now, a series of compounds have been widely used as internal electron donors to prepare Ziegler-Natta catalysts, such as aromatic monoester or diester compounds, such as diisobutyl phthalate or ethyl benzoate, used in US4784983A, diol ester compounds used in CN1453298A, succinic acid ester compounds used in CN1313869A, diether compounds used in EP0361494A, salicylic acid ester compounds used in CN1257920C / CN104829757B, 1,2-phenylene aromatic diester compounds used in US61141902A, amide or amide ester compounds used in EP15186252A / CN108570120A, etc. However, in industrial production, each of these internal electron donor compounds has certain defects in practical application, such as: the catalyst using aromatic diester compounds has low catalytic activity; the catalyst using diether compounds has high catalytic activity and good hydrogen regulation sensitivity, but the obtained polymer has poor regioselectivity; the catalyst using salicylic acid ester compounds has general activity and high xylene solubles; the catalyst using 1,2-phenylene aromatic diester compounds has good catalytic activity and hydrogen regulation sensitivity, but the obtained polymer has relatively high xylene solubles; the catalyst using amide or amide ester compounds has low activity and high xylene solubles.

[0004] Because of the importance of the role played by the internal electron donor compound in the catalyst and the existing defects of the current internal electron donor compounds in practical application, the improvement of the internal electron donor compound has always been a research hotspot in the field.
