Description

Fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av Method of manufacture of

polyetylen.polyethylene.

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrorer en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av polyetylen som gjennomfores i et reaksjonsmedium som utgjores av flytende etylen i en mengde storre enn 90%. The present invention relates to a method for the production of polyethylene which is carried out in a reaction medium which consists of liquid ethylene in an amount greater than 90%.

Det er kjent at i etylen-polymeriseringsprosesser, er hoved-funksjonen for reaksjonsmediet transport av masse og varme i en reaktor mot dennes vegg, idet det meste av varmen utvikles ved polymeriseringen av etylen. It is known that in ethylene polymerization processes, the main function of the reaction medium is the transport of mass and heat in a reactor towards its wall, as most of the heat is developed during the polymerization of ethylene.

Bruk av dette reaksjonsmedium utgjor en belastning på prosessenUse of this reaction medium places a strain on the process

da det må resirkuleres.as it must be recycled.

Resirkuleringen kan være særlig komplisert og dyr når reaktor-mediet under arbeidet med å rense polymeren for katalysatorrester, er forurenset ved polare forbindelser som ikke er blandbare med katalysatorsystemet for polymeriseringen, slik at det er nodvendig å fjerne dem ved hjelp av dyre rektifiseringer eller ekstraksjoner. The recycling can be particularly complicated and expensive when, during the work to clean the polymer of catalyst residues, the reactor medium is contaminated by polar compounds that are not miscible with the catalyst system for the polymerization, so that it is necessary to remove them by means of expensive rectifications or extractions.

Det er nå funnet at det er mulig å polymerisere etylen uten de ovennevnte mangler ved at det som reaksjonsmedium anvendes etylen i flytende tilstand i nærvær av et katalysatorsystem valgt blant en av de folgende par av forbindelser, It has now been found that it is possible to polymerize ethylene without the above-mentioned shortcomings by using ethylene as a reaction medium in a liquid state in the presence of a catalyst system selected from one of the following pairs of compounds,

A) en overgangsmetallforbindelse tilhorende en gruppe fra IVA) a transition metal compound belonging to a group from IV

til VIII i det periodiske system og en polymeraluminium-forbindelse av polyimin-karakter som inneholder gjentagende enheter av typen (HAI-NR), hvori R er et aryl-, cykloalkyl-eller alkyl-hydrokarbon-radikal. B) en aluminiumforbindelse av typen A1RX2, hvori R er et alkyl, aryl eller cykloalkyl-radikal og X er et halogen, og en vanadium-forbindelse av typen V (NR2)4hvori R har den ovennevnte betydning. to VIII in the periodic table and a polymer aluminum compound of polyimine character containing repeating units of the type (HAI-NR), in which R is an aryl, cycloalkyl or alkyl hydrocarbon radical. B) an aluminum compound of the type A1RX2, in which R is an alkyl, aryl or cycloalkyl radical and X is a halogen, and a vanadium compound of the type V (NR2)4 in which R has the above meaning.

Omsetningen gjennomfores ved polymeriseringstemperaturer lavere enn den kritiske temperatur for etylen, generelt opp til -80°C og ved trykk som tilsvarer eller er litt hoyere enn damptrykket for flytende etylen ved polymeringstemperaturen. The reaction is carried out at polymerization temperatures lower than the critical temperature for ethylene, generally up to -80°C and at pressures that correspond to or are slightly higher than the vapor pressure of liquid ethylene at the polymerization temperature.

Omsetningen igangsettes ved det av det katalytiske system, fortsetter til den onskede omdannelsesgrad, avhengig av oppholdstiden i reaktoren, temperaturen og mengden av tilsatt katalysator og stoppes til slutt ved hjelp av en enkel avdamping av resterende etylen i en beholder ved et trykk lavere enn damptrykket for flytende etylen ved polymeriseringstemperaturen. The reaction is initiated by the catalytic system, continues to the desired degree of conversion, depending on the residence time in the reactor, the temperature and the amount of added catalyst, and is finally stopped by means of a simple evaporation of the remaining ethylene in a container at a pressure lower than the vapor pressure of liquid ethylene at the polymerization temperature.

Polyetylen som oppsamles i form av skorper er praktisk talt fritt for rester av reaksjonsmediet. Polyethylene that is collected in the form of crusts is practically free of residues of the reaction medium.

En fordel er det faktum at polymeriseringsreaktoren kan være ytterst enkel, f.eks. et ror med regulert utslipping, da termostattemperaturer i reaktoren sikres ved kokende etylen. An advantage is the fact that the polymerization reactor can be extremely simple, e.g. a rudder with regulated discharge, as thermostatic temperatures in the reactor are ensured by boiling ethylene.

Polymerisasjonsvarmen må fjernes mens den fri varme kan gjenvinnes ved hjelp av egnete varmevekslere. The polymerization heat must be removed while the free heat can be recovered using suitable heat exchangers.

Fremgangsmåten i henhold til oppfinnelsen er egnet for polymerisering av etylen til homopolymer, men det er også mulig å fremstille også etylenkopolymerer, hvor da under polymeriseringen den flytende fase i det vesentlige utgjores av etylen, i mengdeforhold tilsvarende de relative reaktiviteter av de tilstedeværende monomerer. The method according to the invention is suitable for the polymerization of ethylene to homopolymer, but it is also possible to also produce ethylene copolymers, where during the polymerization the liquid phase is essentially made up of ethylene, in quantities corresponding to the relative reactivities of the monomers present.
