Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an olefin polymerization catalyst containing a mixed transition metal compound, which can prepare various polyolefins having excellent processability and mechanical properties, an olefin polymer prepared using the same, and a method for preparing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Polyolefin polymers are widely used in everyday life as materials for shopping bags, greenhouses, fishing nets, cigarette wrappers, ramen packaging bags, yogurt bottles, battery cases, car bumpers, interior materials, shoe soles, washing machines, and more.
[0003] Traditionally, polyolefin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene-α-olefin copolymers and their copolymers have been prepared using heterogeneous catalysts such as Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which consist of titanium compounds and alkylaluminum compounds.
[0004] Recently, research has been conducted into the preparation of polyolefins using metallocene catalysts, which are homogeneous catalysts with extremely high catalytic activity. Metallocene catalysts are compounds in which ligands such as cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, or cycloheptadienyl are coordinated to a transition metal or transition metal halide, and have a basic sandwich structure. Various molecular structures are possible depending on the type of ligand and the type of central metal.
[0005] Ziegler-Natta catalysts are heterogeneous catalysts in which the metal components that act as active sites are dispersed on an inert solid surface, and the properties of the active sites are not uniform. In contrast, metallocene catalysts are single compounds with a fixed structure, and all active sites have the same polymerization properties, making them known as single-site catalysts.
[0006] Generally, metallocene catalysts are not active as polymerization catalysts by themselves, so they are used in conjunction with a co-catalyst such as methylaluminoxane. The co-catalyst activates the metallocene catalyst to a cation, and at the same time, the co-catalyst stabilizes the unsaturated cationic active species as anions that are not coordinated to the metallocene catalyst, forming a catalytic system active in the polymerization of various olefins.
[0007] Such metallocene catalysts are easy to copolymerize and can adjust the three-dimensional structure of the polymer depending on the symmetry of the catalyst. The polymers prepared using these catalysts have the advantages of narrow molecular weight distribution and uniform comonomer distribution.
[0008] On the other hand, polymers prepared using metallocene catalysts have excellent mechanical strength due to their narrow molecular weight distribution, but suffer from poor processability. To address this issue, various methods have been proposed, such as modifying the molecular structure of the polymer or broadening the molecular weight distribution. For example, Patent Document 1 improves polymer processability by using a catalyst that introduces long chain branches (LCBs) into the polymer main chain. However, supported catalysts suffer from low activity.
[0009] To overcome these shortcomings of single metallocene catalysts and develop catalysts that are simpler, more active, and have improved processability, methods for supporting heterogeneous metallocene catalysts with different properties have been proposed. For example, Patent Documents 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 disclose methods for preparing polyolefins with bimodal molecular weight distributions using catalysts with different reactivities toward comonomers. While bimodal molecular weight distribution polyolefins prepared using these methods offer improved processability, they suffer from poor homogeneity due to the different molecular weight distributions. Consequently, it is difficult to obtain products with uniform physical properties after processing, and mechanical strength is reduced.
[0010] On the other hand, Patent Document 7 discloses a heterometallocene catalyst comprising a mixture of a first transition metal compound containing a cyclopentadienyl group and an indenyl group that are not connected by a bridge, and a second transition metal compound containing a substituted bisindenyl group that is connected by a silyl bridge.
[0011] Furthermore, to solve the problems of heterogeneous metallocene supported catalysts, a method using a binuclear metallocene catalyst with two active sites has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 8 proposes a method of controlling the molecular weight distribution and molecular weight by using a binuclear metallocene catalyst on a support, but the problem of low activity remains.

[0108] The support may include a substance containing hydroxyl groups on its surface. Preferably, a substance having highly reactive hydroxyl groups and siloxane groups that has been dried to remove moisture from its surface can be used. In a specific embodiment, the support may include at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, and magnesia. Specifically, silica, silica-alumina, silica-magnesia, etc., dried at high temperatures are used as the support. These typically contain oxides, carbonates, sulfates, and nitrates such as Na2O, K2CO3, BaSO4, and Mg(NO3)2. They may also contain carbon, zeolite, magnesium chloride, etc. However, the support is not limited to these and may be any material capable of supporting a transition metal compound and a promoter compound.
[0109] The carrier may have an average particle size of 10 μm to 250 μm, preferably 10 μm to 150 μm, and more preferably 20 μm to 100 μm.
[0110] The volume of the micropores in the support may be 0.1 cc / g to 10 cc / g, preferably 0.5 cc / g to 5 cc / g, and more preferably 1.0 cc / g to 3.0 cc / g.
[0111] The specific surface area of the support is 1m 2 / g~1000m 2 / g, preferably 100m 2 / g~800m 2 / g, more preferably 200m 2 / g~600m 2 / g.
[0112] In a preferred embodiment, when the support is silica, the drying temperature for the silica may be room temperature to 900° C. The drying temperature may be preferably room temperature to 800° C., more preferably room temperature to 700° C. If the drying temperature is lower than room temperature, there may be too much moisture, which may cause a reaction between the moisture on the surface and the co-catalyst, and if the drying temperature exceeds 900° C., the structure of the support may be destroyed.
[0113] The hydroxyl group concentration in the dried silica may be 0.1 mmol / g to 5 mmol / g, preferably 0.7 mmol / g to 4 mmol / g, and more preferably 1.0 mmol / g to 2 mmol / g. If the hydroxyl group concentration is less than 0.1 mmol / g, the amount of the co-catalyst supported will be low, and if it exceeds 5 mmol / g, the catalyst component may become inactive.
[0114] In a specific embodiment, the support supports both the transition metal compounds represented by the above chemical formulas 4 to 6 and the promoter compound.
[0115] In this case, the total amount of the mixed transition metal compound supported on the support may be 0.001 mmol to 1 mmol per gram of support. When the ratio of the mixed transition metal compound to the support satisfies the above range, the supported catalyst exhibits appropriate activity, which is advantageous in terms of maintaining the catalyst activity and economy.
[0116] The total amount of promoter compounds supported on the carrier may be 2 mmol to 15 mmol per gram of carrier. If the ratio of promoter compounds to carrier satisfies the above range, it is advantageous in terms of maintaining catalyst activity and economy.
[0117] In a specific embodiment, one or more supports may be used. For example, both the mixed transition metal compound and the co-catalyst compound may be supported on one support, or the mixed transition metal compound and the co-catalyst compound may be supported on two or more supports, respectively. Alternatively, only one of the mixed transition metal compound and the co-catalyst compound may be supported on a support.
[0118] As a method for supporting the mixture of transition metal compounds and / or the promoter compound, a physical adsorption method or a chemical adsorption method can be used.
[0119] In a specific embodiment, the physical adsorption method may be a method in which a solution in which a mixed transition metal compound is dissolved is brought into contact with a support and then dried; a method in which a solution in which a mixed transition metal compound and a promoter compound are dissolved is brought into contact with a support and then dried; or a method in which a solution in which a mixed transition metal compound is dissolved is brought into contact with a support and then dried to prepare a support on which a mixed transition metal compound is supported, and separately a solution in which a promoter compound is dissolved is brought into contact with a support and then dried to prepare a support on which a promoter compound is supported, and then these are mixed together, etc.
[0120] In a specific embodiment, the chemical adsorption method may be a method in which a promoter compound is first supported on the surface of a support, and then a mixed transition metal compound is supported on the promoter compound, or a method in which a functional group on the surface of the support (e.g., in the case of silica, a hydroxy group (—OH) on the surface of silica) is covalently bonded to the mixed transition metal compound.
[0121] The solvent used when supporting the mixed transition metal compound and / or the co-catalyst compound is not particularly limited.
