Catalyst for propylene polymerization and propylene polymerization or copolymerization reaction method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a catalyst for olefin polymerization, in particular to a catalyst for propylene polymerization and a propylene polymerization or copolymerization reaction method.
Background
The internal electron donor compound, which is one of the important components of Ziegler-Natta catalyst, plays a critical role in improving the performance of the catalyst, and can not only improve the orientation capability of the catalyst, but also improve the activity of the catalyst. For example, the invention of common 1, 3-diether electron donor compounds can obviously improve the catalytic activity of the catalyst, the isotactic index of the polymer and the like. The structure of the different 1, 3-diether electron donor compounds and the properties of the catalysts obtained therefrom are reported as :CN1473809、CN1376722、CN1298887、CN1268957、CN1143651、CN1141303、CN1141285、CN1066723;EP0728770、EP0728724、EP0361493、US5095153、US5068213、US4978648 et al.
Chinese patent CN101560272a discloses a catalyst for olefin polymerization, wherein the internal electron donor is diaryl acid-2, 4-pentanediol ester, and the catalyst prepared from 2- (2-thiophenecarboxylic acid) -4- (p-isopropylbenzoic acid) pentanediol ester has higher activity, reaching 58.4KgPP/gcat, but the isotactic index of the polymer prepared from the catalyst is lower.
Chinese patent CN105985469a discloses a polymerization catalyst of biphosphine compound of biphenyl structure as an internal electron donor, which has better activity in propylene polymerization than catalysts containing monophosphate or biphosphite, and gives polypropylene with wider molecular weight distribution. The general formula of the internal electron donor is:
However, the highest polymerization activity of the catalyst is 32.5KgPP/gTi, and the polymerization activity is still lower than that of a general catalyst in the market.
At present, a high-efficiency carrier type Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalyst commonly used in olefin polymerization generally adopts aluminum alkyl (such as Et 3 AL and the like) as a cocatalyst, propylene polymerization is carried out at a temperature of 65-80 ℃, high polymerization activity can be obtained, and the obtained polymer has high isotactic index, but the polymerization activity of the catalyst and the isotactic index, molecular weight and the like of the polymer are drastically reduced after the polymerization temperature is continuously increased. Because the main function of the aluminum alkyl is to alkylate the active center, but the alkylation is also carried out, the polymerization temperature is raised, the reduction reaction is promoted, more active center Ti 3+ is reduced to Ti 2+, the deactivation of the active center of the catalyst is accelerated, the polymerization reaction speed is reduced, the polymerization activity of the system is reduced, the generated oligomer is increased, and the isotactic index of the finally obtained polymer is lower.
Aluminoxane is not an effective cocatalyst for magnesium halide supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts, but increasing the polymerization temperature of propylene, and the addition of aluminoxane to the polymerization system can increase the polymerization activity of the catalyst, but the polymerization activity is still not ideal. For example, chinese patent CN1887918a discloses a catalyst, in which a mixture of aluminoxane and alkyl aluminum is introduced as a cocatalyst in the polymerization process, and the catalyst system still has higher activity and stereotacticity at a polymerization temperature of 100 ℃ of propylene, but the activity of propylene polymerization at high temperature is still lower, the isotactic index of the polymer is up to 95%, and both the activity and stereotacticity of the catalyst are still to be further improved.
The modification of methylaluminoxane and the effect of the modification on the polymerization catalytic activity of ethylene in the Japanese patent application, chemical research, 2004,15 (1) 24-26, and the authors utilize the effect of BCl 3 and Methylaluminoxane (MAO) to prepare modified methylaluminoxane (BMAO), examine the performance of a metallocene catalyst system Cp 2ZrCl2/BMAO in catalyzing the polymerization of ethylene, and compared with MAO, the polymerization activity can be properly increased and the MAO dosage can be reduced by using BMAO as a cocatalyst. However, a large amount of toluene is used as a solvent in preparation BMAO, which is not beneficial to post-treatment and environmental protection of the product.
Chinese patent CN1421468a discloses that by controlling the process conditions and the prepolymerization multiple in the prepolymerization process, the conventional Z-N catalyst is suitable for polymerization of propylene at a higher temperature (> 85 ℃) and provides a method for polymerizing or copolymerizing propylene at a high temperature and a catalyst prepolymer suitable for the method, but the prepolymerization multiple control means mentioned in the method embodiment is more complex, and the isotactic index of the obtained polymer is still lower than that of the polymer prepared at 70 ℃.
Chinese patent CN1621421a discloses that the catalyst component is introduced into a mixture of aluminoxane prepared by reacting trialkylaluminum with water to achieve high temperature polymerization of propylene, but the preparation method is also complicated in process, and both the high temperature polymerization activity and the isotactic index of the polymer are to be further improved.
There are various disadvantages of the catalyst or the high temperature polymerization method in the prior art, so that it is necessary to provide a new catalyst and a high temperature polymerization method to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
