Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of olefin polymerization catalyst technology, and relates to a continuous solution polymerization method for vinyl polyolefin elastomers. Background Technology

[0002] Existing polyolefin elastomer (POE) production technologies generally rely on introducing specific α-olefins (such as 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene) as comonomers during ethylene polymerization to control the polymer chain structure and reduce crystallinity in order to achieve the desired elastomer properties. However, these α-olefin monomers are typically expensive to produce, and their sources are limited by specific production processes. This raw material cost factor directly increases the production cost of traditional POE products, not only limiting their application in fields requiring high cost-effectiveness but also exposing the entire industry chain to a certain degree of reliance on a single source of raw materials and the risk of price fluctuations.

[0003] Although the industry has proposed a technology for preparing polyolefin elastomers using ethylene as a single raw material, aiming to fundamentally reduce dependence on α-olefins, the realization of this route faces core technological challenges. Specifically, how to achieve precise control over the polymer chain structure in an ethylene homopolymerization system through catalyst and process design, thereby stably and efficiently producing polyolefin elastomers with excellent mechanical properties, optical properties, and high purity, remains a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. In particular, developing a catalyst system that combines high activity, excellent chain structure control capabilities, and applicability to continuous solution polymerization processes is the core bottleneck for achieving the industrial-scale production of this low-cost route.

Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods and detection methods described in each embodiment are conventional methods; unless otherwise specified, the reagents and materials can be purchased commercially.

[0021] The main catalyst used in the following preparation examples is a nickel diimine catalyst, whose general structural formula is shown in Formula I:

[0022] R1 is selected from any one of Li, Na, and K; R2 is selected from any one of methyl, methoxy, trifluoromethyl, nitro, and tert-butyl, and R2 may be the same or different; X is a halogen, and X may be the same or different.

[0024] The solvents used in the following examples are selected from at least one of isobutane, n-pentane, isopentane, n-hexane, methylcyclopentane, n-heptane, methylcyclohexane, isooctane, toluene, and C10-C16 isomeric saturated alkanes (such as isodecane, isododecane, isotridecane, and isohexadecane), preferably n-hexane, methylcyclopentane, n-heptane, and isomeric saturated alkanes, and more preferably n-hexane and n-heptane.

[0025] The continuous solution polymerization method for vinyl polyolefin elastomers involved in the following examples is shown below: S1. Raw material storage and preparation: Ethylene recovered from the continuous solution polymerization system of ethylene and vinyl polyolefin elastomer is stored in an ethylene storage tank for later use; solvent recovered from the continuous solution polymerization system of solvent and vinyl polyolefin elastomer is stored in a solvent storage tank for later use; the main catalyst and co-catalyst are placed in the main catalyst tank and co-catalyst tank respectively for later use.

[0026] S2. Polymerization reaction: Ethylene and the main catalyst are directly introduced into the reactor. The co-catalyst and solvent are mixed in the pipeline and then introduced into the reactor. The reaction temperature is 60~200℃, the pressure is 1~10MPa, and the residence time in a single reactor is 5~60min.

[0027] S3. Deashing: After the adhesive liquid comes out of the reactor, it flows through the buffer tank and then through a primary or multi-stage deashing system to deeply remove the residual catalyst and co-catalyst in the adhesive liquid.

[0028] S4. Static Deviation: The deashed adhesive solution passes through a multi-stage static deviation system, with the pressure inside the flash tank controlled at 0.1~5MPa and the temperature at 100~250℃. The residence time of the adhesive solution in a single flash tank is 3~30min.

[0032] S4. The static devolatilization process can be either two-stage or three-stage. Three-stage static devolatilization, i.e., three flash tanks operating in series, is preferred, achieving ultra-low volatile matter residue (≤50ppm) in the polymer. Two-stage static devolatilization, i.e., two flash tanks operating in series, results in volatile matter residue (≤100ppm) in the polymer.

[0033] The ethylene and solvent recovered during the static devolatilization process are recycled into ethylene storage tanks and solvent storage tanks, respectively.

[0055] Table 1. Test results of the effect of the main catalyst on the properties of vinyl polyolefin elastomers

[0056] Table 1 shows that the vinyl polyolefin elastomers (Examples 1-6) prepared by nickel diimine catalysts with different structures exhibit certain differences in performance, but the ash content of the products is ≤30ppm and the volatile matter is ≤90ppm. This result fully demonstrates that the nickel diimine catalyst used in this invention not only possesses excellent catalytic activity and structure regulation ability in the process of catalyzing the polymerization of ethylene to produce elastomers, but also exhibits good low-residue characteristics.

[0057] Further comparison of Example 1, Example 7 and Example 8 shows that even when the catalyst concentration is significantly increased, the ash content of the vinyl polyolefin elastomer only slightly increases by 5 - 8 ppm, and the volatile content remains basically unchanged. The ash removal and devolatilization processes配套 with the present invention have outstanding adaptability and high efficiency, and can operate stably within a relatively wide range of catalyst concentrations, ensuring that the vinyl polyolefin elastomer has extremely low ash and volatile residues.

[0058] Table 2 Test results of the influence of different reaction conditions on the properties of vinyl polyolefin elastomer

[0059] As shown in Table 2, according to the comparison results of Example 1 and Example 9, it can be seen that when methylaluminoxane and triethylaluminum are used as cocatalysts respectively, the key performance indicators of the obtained vinyl polyolefin elastomer basically remain the same. This indicates that the technology of the present invention can replace expensive methylaluminoxane with significantly lower-cost triethylaluminum without affecting the comprehensive performance of the vinyl polyolefin elastomer.

[0060] Further discovery through the comparison of Example 9 and Example 10 shows that even when the dosage of triethylaluminum is increased to 4 times the original amount, the ash and volatile contents in the vinyl polyolefin elastomer do not increase significantly. This proves that the ash removal and devolatilization processes adopted in the present invention have excellent impurity removal ability and process tolerance, and can effectively cope with the fluctuations in the dosage of the cocatalyst, thus ensuring the ultra-pure quality of the product under continuous production conditions.

[0061] From the comparison of Example 1 and Example 11, it can be seen that the polymerization process with three reactors in series can significantly increase the molecular weight of the vinyl polyolefin elastomer while maintaining the ash and volatile contents of the product at the original low levels, and keeping key indicators such as its mechanical properties, volume resistivity and light transmittance stable. This shows that the multi-stage polymerization process described in the present invention can achieve high performance of the product without introducing additional impurity burden.

[0062] By comparing the experimental results of Example 1 with those of Example 12, 13 and 14, it is found that upgrading the ash removal process from the first stage to the second stage can significantly reduce the ash content in the vinyl polyolefin elastomer; at the same time, upgrading the devolatilization process from the second stage to the third stage can effectively reduce the volatile content. With the further reduction of the ash and volatile contents, both the volume resistivity and light transmittance of the vinyl polyolefin elastomer are significantly improved.

The detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.
