Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalysts, specifically relating to an in-situ copolymerization catalyst system for ethylene and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Polyethylene (PE) is the most commonly used polyolefin material, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), due to its high tear strength and impact resistance, has become the fastest-growing general-purpose plastic. LLDPE molecules have a linear structure with branches of a certain length, and its density is approximately 0.91-0.93 g·cm³. -3 LLDPE has superior performance compared to ordinary polyethylene, with significantly improved tear strength, puncture resistance, tensile strength and elongation at break. It is widely used in films, pipes, packaging and wires and cables.

[0003] LLDPE is generally prepared by first oligomerizing ethylene to obtain α-olefins, which are then separated, purified, and copolymerized with ethylene again—a two-step process. Beach and Kissin proposed a bifunctional catalytic system for the in-situ copolymerization of ethylene to LLDPE. This involves adding both the oligomerization and copolymerization catalysts to the same polymerization apparatus. Ethylene first produces α-olefins on the oligomerization catalyst, which are then immediately reacted with excess ethylene through the copolymerization catalyst to produce LLDPE. Compared to the stepwise process, the most significant advantage of this one-pot method is that it uses only ethylene as the monomer feedstock. The α-olefin comonomer is obtained from the oligomerization catalyst within the system, eliminating the steps of α-olefin synthesis, purification, and storage. This simplifies the production process and significantly reduces production costs, thus attracting considerable attention. Beach and Kissin used the Ziegler-Natta catalytic system and nickel-based catalysts as oligomerization catalysts for the in-situ preparation of LLDPE. However, as the amount of oligomerization catalyst increases, the polymerization activity decreases. Since methylaluminoxane (MAO) is usually added to the catalyst, interference exists between catalysts, resulting in incomplete catalyst system matching and unstable product structure. When metallocene oxide (MAO) is selected as a cocatalyst, it exhibits high activity and selectivity, and the resulting polymers have a narrow molecular weight distribution. These significant advantages have made it a focus of attention in the field of olefin polymerization catalysts. Therefore, metallocene catalysts are currently mainly used as copolymerization catalysts in bifunctional catalyst systems for the in-situ copolymerization of ethylene to prepare linear low-density polyethylene.

[0004] Currently, most industrialized ethylene oligomerization processes employ homogeneous catalytic systems, such as the Chevron process, the BP Amoco process, and the SHOP process. While these commercially available homogeneous ethylene oligomerization processes offer advantages such as good α-olefin selectivity and high activity, disadvantages include difficulties in separating the reaction products from the catalyst, challenges in treating and recovering catalyst waste, and large consumption of organic solvents. These factors lead to high operating costs and significant environmental impacts for homogeneous oligomerization catalyst systems. One of the most effective ways to address these problems is to combine the active components with good reactivity (such as organometallic complexes) in the homogeneous catalyst with a solid support using physical or chemical methods, thus achieving catalyst heterogeneity, i.e., loading. The supported catalytic system retains the advantages of homogeneous catalysts, such as high selectivity and activity for α-olefins, while overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings of homogeneous catalytic systems. Furthermore, it inhibits or slows down bimolecular deactivation reactions during the reaction, enhancing the stability of active sites and extending catalyst lifetime. The support also reduces the amount of co-catalyst used, increases the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, increases effective active sites, improves catalytic efficiency, reduces initial catalyst activity, and allows for a stable release of catalyst activity. Therefore, this type of supported catalyst, characterized by low production cost, environmental friendliness, and the ability to achieve continuous production, has become a very attractive research direction in the field of ethylene oligomerization.

[0005] US20090306449A1 and US20110054130A1 report the use of a zirconium carbonate complex as the main catalyst for ethylene oligomerization, with the general formula ZrCl. 4-m (R 1 Using organoaluminum as a cocatalyst, preferably a combination of diethylaluminum chloride and an electron donor, or a mixture of diethylaluminum chloride and at least two electron donors, high-purity, low-molecular-weight linear α-olefins are obtained through their synergistic effect. Although the addition of electron donors increases the purity of the linear α-olefin (Al / Zr = 17.5), it reduces the catalyst activity. Furthermore, increasing the Al / Zr molar ratio results in the formation of a large amount of waxy or polymeric components in the system, which not only reduces the yield of low-molecular-weight ethylene oligomers but also affects their purity. US20050070425A1 discloses a dialkyl sulfone compound (R1SO2R2), such as diphenyl sulfone (Ph2SO2), which reacts with titanium, zirconium, and hafnium metal atoms to form a sulfonyl or sulfonic acid-containing metal complex. After reacting with a catalyst of diethylaluminum chloride, it undergoes ethylene oligomerization with a polymerization activity of over 4000 g / g Zr.h. The linear α-olefin content of C4-C8 components can reach over 85%, of which the C6-C8 content can reach over 50%.

[0006] CN102336855A discloses an in-situ copolymerization catalytic system for ethylene. The catalyst comprises an oligomerization catalyst supported on an inorganic support of MgCl2 / SiO2, a copolymerization catalyst supported on MgCl2 / SiO2, and an alkylaluminoxane. The oligomerization catalyst is an α-diimine pyridine iron complex, and the copolymerization catalyst is a metallocene complex with Zr as the central atom. The catalyst system is suitable for in-situ polymerization of ethylene at 50-90℃ in gas-phase and slurry polymerization, exhibiting high catalyst activity, high bulk density of the obtained polymer, and low fine powder content. However, the ethylene oligomerization catalyst has low selectivity for α-C4-C8 olefins, and the branched structure of the polymer is relatively complex. Frediani et al. (Frediani M., Bianchini C. et al., Low density polyethylene by tandem catalysis with single-site Ti(IV) / Co(II) catalysts. Kinet Catal., 2006, Vol. 47, No. 2, pp. 207-212.) used a cobalt pyridinium imide oligomerization catalyst and CGC-Ti as an in-situ copolymerization catalyst system, with MAO as a co-catalyst. Polymerization was carried out at 30°C and 3 atm ethylene pressure. The oligomerization catalyst showed a selectivity of over 80% for 1-butene, with a maximum catalytic activity of up to 10. 6 g·mol -1 ·h -1Increased steric hindrance of substituents on the pyridine ring leads to increased molecular weight distribution and branching of the polymer. However, this catalyst system employs homogeneous polymerization, making polymer separation and processing complex. BIANCHINI et al. (BIANCHINI C, GIAMBASTIANI G et al., LLDPE with Exclusively Ethyl Branches by Tandem Catalysis with Single-Site Zr(IV) / Co(II) Catalysts. Top Catalysts, 2008, Vol. 48 (1 / 4): 107-113.) used the classic copolymerization catalyst Cp2ZrCl2 and cobalt pyridineimine catalyst to form bifunctional catalyst systems. These systems exhibited high activity in in-situ copolymerization of ethylene under the action of the co-catalyst MAO. KUWABARA et al. (KUWABARA J, TAKEUCHID et al., Early-late heterobimetallic complexes as initiator for ethylene polymerization. Cooperative effect of two metal centers to afford highly branched polyethylene. Chem Commun, 2006, Vol. 36, pp. 3815-3817.) constructed a heterobinuclear complex by chemically bonding a pre-transition metal zirconium with copolymerizing properties and a non-ceramic post-transition metal with oligomeric properties into a single complex. This complex possessed both oligomeric and copolymerizing active centers, and under the action of the co-catalyst MMAO, successfully catalyzed the in-situ polymerization of ethylene to obtain long-chain branched polyethylene containing ethyl groups and more than C6 atoms. Compared with the corresponding mixed catalytic system composed of two independent mononuclear complexes, the resulting polymer had a higher degree of branching and a narrower molecular weight distribution.

[0066] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the ethylene polymerization is a gas-phase polymerization reaction or a slurry polymerization reaction; the solvent used in the slurry polymerization reaction is a C5-C10 alkane, more preferably hexane.

[0067] In this invention, the ethylene in-situ copolymerization catalyst system is composed of an ethylene oligomerization catalyst system and a metallocene copolymerization catalyst. (1) In the ethylene oligomerization catalyst system, a porous POP support (POP-SNO) containing [SO2NCO] groups is obtained by copolymerizing divinylbenzene with functional monomers containing [SO2NCO] groups. Based on the [SO2NCO] ligands on the POP-SNO support, the zirconium metal active center is fixed on the POP-SNO support. When used for polymerization, it reacts with co-catalysts such as organoaluminum compounds (e.g., diethylaluminum chloride) to obtain an organically supported “POP-SNO-Zr / organoaluminum” ethylene oligomerization catalyst system; (2) In the organically supported ethylene copolymerization catalyst, a porous POP support containing [SO3] groups is obtained by copolymerizing divinylbenzene with functional monomers containing [SO3] groups. After acidification, a POP support containing [SO3H] groups is obtained. After contacting with MAO co-catalyst and metallocene compound respectively, a POP-SO3-MAO / M (M is preferably Zr or Hf) ethylene copolymerization catalyst is obtained.

[0068] The above-mentioned ethylene oligomerization catalyst system is suitable for the preparation of α-olefins, especially 1-C6 and 1-C8 linear α-olefins, by ethylene oligomerization. The suitable reaction conditions for ethylene oligomerization are a temperature of 20-80℃ and an ethylene partial pressure of 1-10 MPa. The solvent for slurry polymerization can be selected from C5-C10 alkanes, such as one or more combinations of hexane, cyclohexane, toluene, and methylcyclohexane, preferably methylcyclohexane. A small amount of alkyl aluminum, such as triethylaluminum, can be added during polymerization to remove trace amounts of water from the solvent. The ethylene oligomerization catalyst system supported on an organic polymer support disclosed in this invention mainly yields C4-C10 linear α-olefins in ethylene oligomerization, exhibiting good catalytic activity and selectivity for C4-C10 linear α-olefins, with high content and purity of C6-C10 olefins. The metallocene copolymerization catalyst supported on the organic support also exhibits good copolymerization performance.

[0069] The ethylene oligomerization catalyst system (i.e., composed of the ethylene oligomerization catalyst and organoaluminum compounds) and the POP-SO3-MAO / M metallocene copolymerization catalyst constitute an in-situ copolymerization catalyst system. Using a single ethylene feedstock, ethylene oligomers can be copolymerized with ethylene to prepare highly branched LLDPE products.

[0070] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0071] 1. The ethylene oligomerization catalyst system used in the ethylene in-situ copolymerization catalyst system has good catalytic activity and short-chain olefin selectivity. The polymerization of the ethylene in-situ copolymerization catalyst system can obtain linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), whose molecular chain mainly consists of short branches containing 2-8 carbon atoms.

[0072] 2. LLDPE can be directly prepared using an in-situ copolymerization catalyst system of ethylene, exhibiting good polymerization activity and producing polymers with good morphology and no agglomeration. The density of polyethylene can be controlled between 0.88-0.94 g / ml.

[0073] 3. By adjusting the ratio of ethylene oligomerization catalyst to metallocene copolymerization catalyst, the phenomenon of sticking to the reactor can be avoided during the polymerization process, and the polymer can be obtained through simple separation and drying processes.
