Description

The method for preparing high viscosity fluid
Technical field
The present invention relates in the presence of metalloscene catalyst and non-coordination anion acvator and hydrogen, prepare the method for poly-alpha olefins (PAO).
Background technology
Synthetic improvement through the oligopolymer hydrocarbon fluid has been that research and development theme important in the petroleum industry reaches at least five ten years based on the effort of the performance of the lubricant of crude mineral oils.These effort have caused the nearer market of many synthetic lubricants to be introduced.Aspect the lubricant properties improvement; The viscosity that the industrial research that relates to synthetic lubricant makes great efforts to push in wide TR, to show usefulness is the fluid of improved viscosity index (VI), also shows oilness, thermostability, oxidative stability and the pour point that equals or exceeds MO simultaneously.
When selecting lubricant for certain applications, oil body-temperature relation is one of main standard of being considered.The MO of the base-material of work list commonly used and multistage lubricant shows that with the change of temperature bigger viscosity changes.Show that with temperature the fluid that the big viscosity of this kind changes it is said to have low-viscosity index (VI).VI is an empirical value, and it is illustrated in oil viscosity velocity of variation in the given TR.For example, high VI oil will thinning more lentamente with low VI oil phase than at elevated temperatures.Usually, high VI oil is more desirable, because it has higher viscosity under higher temperature, this is converted into the better lubricated and better protection of contact mechanical organ, and is preferred at high temperature and/or under the temperature of wide region.VI calculates according to ASTM method D 2270.
If lubricant is expected under the low temperature environment and provides lubricated, the good low-temperature performance no less important of lubricant then.These low-temperature performancies can be through according to the pure fluidic pour point of ASTM D 97, through according to the pure fluid of ASTM D 2983 or blend fluidic low temperature brookfield viscosity or other suitable method cold starting simulation meter viscosity (CCS) isometry for example.The good shear stability of lubricant also becomes more and more important, because more turning round under the mal-condition usually than novel appts or mover.Can measure the shear stability of pure fluid or lubricant blend through many methods, for example according to the sound wave shearing test of ASTM D 2603 methods or according to taper roller bearing (TRB) shearing test of CECL-45-T/A-D method etc.
PAO comprises one type of hydrocarbon of making through the monomeric catalytic oligomerization of linear alpha-alkene (LAO) (aggregating into low molecular weight product).They usually at the 1-octene to the scope of 1-dodecylene; Wherein 1-decene is a preferable material; But also can use the for example oligomeric copolymer of ethene and propylene of even lower level alkene, comprise the ethene and the multipolymer of higher alkene more, like USP 4; 956,122 and the patent that wherein relates to said.The PAO product becomes important in lubricating oil market.Usually, have two types of synthetic hydrocarbon fluids (SHF) by the linear alpha-alkene preparation, these two types of SHF are expressed as PAO and HVI-PAO (High Viscosity Index PAO).Usually use promoted BF 3Or AlCl 3The PAO of Preparation of Catalyst different viscosity grade.
Specifically, can be at catalyzer AlCl for example 3, BF 3Or promoted AlCl 3, BF 3Polymerization through olefin feedstock under existing prepares PAO.The preparation method of PAO for example discloses in following patent: USP 3,149,178; 3,382,291; 3,742,082; 3,769,363; 3,780,128; 4,172,855 and 4,956,122, they fully introduce for reference.PAO is also at Will, J.G.Lubrication Fundamentals, and Marcel Dekker:NewYork discusses in 1980.After polymerization, usually with the product hydrogenation of this PAO lubricant scope to reduce residual unsaturated part, generally be hydrogenated to greater than 90% hydrogenant level.HV PAO can be aptly through for example in the presence of the friedel-crafts catalysts preparing alpha-olefine polymerizing at polymerizing catalyst.They for example comprise, boron trifluoride, aluminum chloride or following boron trifluoride: water, with alcohol for example ethanol, propyl alcohol or butanols; Use carboxylic acid, or with ester for example ETHYLE ACETATE or ethyl propionate or ether for example diethyl ether, DIPE etc. promote (referring to for example, USP 4; 149; 178 or 3,382,291 disclosed methods).Other describes the PAO synthetic referring to following USP: 3,742,082 (Brennan); 3,769,363 (Br ennan); 3,876,720 (Heilman); 4,239,930 (Allphin); 4,367,352 (Watts); 4,413,156 (Watts); 4,434,408 (Larkin); 4,910,355 (Shubkin); 4,956,122 (Watts) and 5,068,487 (Theriot).
Another kind of HVI-PAO can prepare with 'alpha '-olefin monomers under the effect of loading type reductive chrome catalysts.This type of PAO is at USP 4,827,073 (Wu); 4,827,064 (Wu); 4,967,032 (Ho etc.); Be described among 4,926,004 (Pelrine etc.) and 4,914,254 (Pelrine).Commercially available PAO comprises SpectraSyn TM2,4,5,6,8,10,40,100 and SpectraSyn Ultra TM150, SpectraSynUltra TM300, SpectraSynUltra TM1000 etc. (ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Houston, Texas).
Synthetic PAO is because they obtain extensively approval and business success in field of lubricant to the meliority based on the lubricant of MO.Aspect the lubricant properties improvement; The industrial research of synthetic lubricant is made great efforts to have obtained in wide TR, to show the viscosity of usefulness; Be the PAO fluid of improved viscosity index, also show oilness, thermostability, oxidative stability and the pour point that is parity with or superiority over MO simultaneously.These newer synthetic lubricants reduce mechanical friction, thereby in whole mechanical load scopes, improve mechanical efficiency and like this in the operational condition scope wideer than mineral oil lubricant.
It is more and more stricter that the performance requriements of lubricant becomes.In order to satisfy the new capability requirement of lubricant; Need have improved performance, for example the new PAO of the range of viscosities of thermostability, oxidative stability and/or the broad of the volatility of high viscosity index (HVI) (VI), low pour point, reduction, high shear stability, improved polishing machine, raising.Also need provide this kind to have the novel method of the new PAO that improves performance.

In another embodiment; The PAO of this paper preparation has by the 25wt% of Noack volatility test (ASTM D5800) measurement or littler, preferred 20wt% or littler, preferred 14wt% or littler; Preferably less than 10wt% or littler, preferably less than 5wt% or littler volatility.Usually, this oil has the NOACK volatility less than 2wt%.
In another embodiment, be unsaturated olefin directly by PAO oligomeric or the polymerization method preparation.The amount of unsaturated part can be quantitatively through measuring according to the bromine number of ASTM D 1159 or measuring through proton or carbon-13NMR.The unsaturated part of olefinic can distinguished and quantize to proton N MR spectroscopic analysis also: vinylidene base, 1,2-is dibasic, three replace or the type of vinyl.Carbon-13NMR spectrum can confirm that the alkene that is calculated by proton spectrum distributes.
Proton and carbon-13NMR spectrum can quantize the degree of short-chain branched (SCB) in the olefin oligomer, but carbon-13NMR can be provided in the bigger specificity of a chain length aspect.In proton spectrum, the resonance of SCB branched chain methyl falls within the scope of 1.05-0.7ppm.The SCB of enough different lengthss will produce enough different methyl peak so that integration or deconvolution (deconvolute) and the side chain length distribution is provided individually.Remaining methylene radical and methyne signal resonate in the 3.0-1.05ppm scope.In order to let this integration and CH, CH 2And CH 3Concentration is relevant, must proofread and correct each integration for the proton multiplicity.This methyl integration obtains the number of methyl divided by three; Remaining aliphatic integration is supposed for each methyl to comprise a CH signal, and wherein all the other integrations are CH 2Signal.CH 3/ (CH+CH 2+ CH 3) ratio provide methyl concentration.
Similarly logic is applicable to that carbon-13NMR analyzes, and difference do not need to be the proton multiplicity to proofread and correct.In addition, 13C NMR is relative 1The enhanced spectrum of H NMR/structural resolution allows according to side chain length field segregant.Usually, methyl resonance integration and obtain methyl (20.5-15ppm), propyl group (15-14.3ppm), butyl and the side chain concentration of long-chain branch (14.3-13.9ppm) and ethyl (13.9-7ppm) more individually.
Easily carry out the alkene analysis through proton N MR, wherein 5.9 and 4.7ppm between the olefinic signal according to the segmentation of the alkyl substitute mode of alkene.Vinyl CH proton resonates between 5.9-5.7ppm, vinyl CH 2Proton 5.3 and 4.85ppm between resonate.1, the dibasic olefinic proton of 2-resonates in the 5.5-5.3ppm scope.This trisubstituted olefin peaks in the 5.3-4.85ppm zone with vinyl CH 2Peak overlapping; Vinyl CH integration through based on twice is deducted the contribution that removes this regional vinyl.1, the alkene that 1-two replaces (or vinylidene base) resonates in the 4.85-4.6ppm zone.Olefinic resonance is in case the proton multiplicity is just proofreaied and correct can normalization method and obtain molar percentage alkene and distribute, or compares with the gauged aliphatic series of multiplicity zone (as above in the face of methyl analyze as described in) and obtain graded concentration (fractionalconcentration) (for example alkene/100 carbon).
Usually, the amount of unsaturated part depends on fluid viscosity or fluid molecule amount consumingly.More low viscous fluid has higher degree of unsaturation and the bromine number of Geng Gao.More full-bodied fluid has lower degree of unsaturation and lower bromine number.If during polymerization procedure, use a large amount of hydrogen or high hydrogen pressure, then bromine number possibly be lower than the situation that does not have hydrogen to exist.Usually, in the inventive method by the poly-alpha olefins greater than 20-5000cSt of 1-decene or other LAO preparation, the PAO when synthetic will have 25 to less than 1 bromine number, this depends on fluid viscosity.
Type through the unsaturated part of olefinic in the PAO fluid of the inventive method preparation is unique, as 1H with 13That kind that C-NMR confirms.They comprise very a large amount of vinylidene base alkene (CH 2=CR 1R 2) and the unsaturated part (comprising that three replace or two-substituted alkene) of other type of much less.This vinylidene base content is also preferably much higher than the vinylidene base content of the poly-alpha olefins for preparing based on the metallocenes that uses with MAO promotor under the prior art situation.Fig. 5 has explained poly-1-butylene of the present invention relatively according to US 6,548, the mole % of the vinylidene base content of the material that general disclosed method produces in 724.In the present invention, vinylidene base content is greater than 65 moles of %, or greater than 70% or greater than 80%.The unsaturated part of more substantial vinylidene base is normally more desirable because the alkene of these types to further hydrogenation or further functionalized be have more reactive.Have many maximized methods of amount that make vinylidene base alkene of having described, for example U.S. Patent number 5,286, those disclosed in 823.Vinylidene base alkene is faster with the maleic anhydride reaction in alkene reaction usually.They more easily are hydrogenated and obtain to be used for the complete saturated hydrocarbon of high-performance base-material.Usually, hydrogenation degree influences the fluidic oxidative stability.Have higher hydrogenation degree and follow fluid to have better oxidative stability usually with lower bromine number.PAO among the present invention has high vinylidene base content and therefore more is prone to carry out hydrogenation, and provides low bromine number fluidic to form.Bromine number is more preferably less than 3 preferably less than 5 after hydrogenation, is more preferably less than 2, is more preferably less than 1, is more preferably less than 0.5, is more preferably less than 0.1.Usually, bromine number is low more, and oxidative stability is good more.
PAO through the present invention's preparation also preferably compares methyl/1000 carbon with reduction with the PAO for preparing through known method.Fig. 6 provides with known method and has compared, through belonging to CH among the poly-1-butylene fluidic PAO that Catalyst And Method of the present invention makes 3The amount of base/1000 carbon.The product that makes among the present invention has the methyl content lower than the amount that is limited following formula:
(methyl branch/1000 C)=-3.4309 * Ln is (at 100 ℃ Kv, cSt)+29.567
Methyl-branched is normally not too desirable, because this kind branching is tended to force down VI and/or reduced oxidative stability.

The so-called system that is meant is not continuously having operation under the situation of interrupting or stopping (or planning in operation in such cases).For example, the continuation method of preparation polymkeric substance will be the method for wherein reactant (for example monomer and catalyst component and/or toxic removal agent) being introduced one or more reactor drums continuously and discharging polymer product continuously.The so-called semicontinuous system that is meant is having operation under the situation of periodically interrupted (or planning in operation in such cases).For example, the semicontinuous method of preparation polymkeric substance will be the method for wherein reactant (for example monomer and catalyst component and/or scavenging agent) being introduced one or more reactor drums continuously and discharging polymer product off and on.
Interrupter method is not continuous or semicontinuous method.
In an embodiment preferred of the present invention, through some means control oligomerization reaction temperature, for example continuous or semi continuous operation, heat extraction, the speed that catalyzer or raw material add or solvent adds.Because usually under room temperature or envrionment temperature, add catalyst solution, raw material olefin and/or solvent and/or scavenging agent maybe can be pre-cooling to required temperature with them, so they can relax reaction heat and can help to keep constant temperature of reaction to the interpolation of reactor drum.This operator scheme can be during 30 minutes in; Preferably temperature is controlled in 20 ℃ of desired reaction temperature for entire reaction; Usually preferably control in temperature required 10 ℃; Preferably arrive in temperature required 5 ℃, preferably arrive in temperature required 3 ℃, or preferably arrive in temperature required 1 ℃.
The reactor drum that usually, in semi-continuous running, will contain a small amount of starting liq preheats in 10 ℃ of desired reaction temperature.This starting liq can be raw material olefin, catalyst component, solvent or come the poly-alpha olefins tailing of the preceding running of leisure or come comfortable preceding poly-alpha olefins product or any other suitable liquid that turns round.The part of the PAO product that usually, turns round before the PAO tailing of raw material olefin, solvent or next comfortable preceding running or the next leisure is preferred starting liq.When reactor drum is in required temperature, can add hydrogen, solvent and other component of raw material olefin, catalyst component, selected amount continuously by selected speed.Can coactivator (one or more) or scavenging agent (one or more) (desired amount partly or entirely) be added in the starting liq.Or randomly, can part or all of coactivator (one or more) or scavenging agent (one or more) be added in raw material olefin or the solvent materials flow so that the validity maximization.When polyreaction when temperature of reaction begins, heat is released.Constant in order to keep reaction temperature as far as possible, through in the Several Methods mentioned among this paper one or more, or known that kind is removed and is reduced phlegm and internal heat as in this area.Remove a kind of possible method reduce phlegm and internal heat and be following continuously with the materials flow circulation of reactor content through interchanger: with this side materials flow pumping through interchanger to cool off this side materials flow slightly, then it is pumped back in the reaction zone.The cooling degree of this round-robin speed and this side materials flow can be used for controlling effectively reaction zone temperature.Perhaps, if speed of reaction does not have enough Gao Deke to keep temperature of reaction, then indirect heating is offered reactor drum to keep required temperature.The another kind of method of keeping constant temperature of reaction is control raw material olefin or the interpolation speed of solvent and the temperature of raw material olefin or solvent.After the interpolation of reactant is accomplished, make reaction proceed the required time to obtain the highest raw material olefin transformation efficiency.
In continuous operation mode, operate similarly with semi-continuous running, except when when reactor drum is filled to predeterminated level, discharge the mixture of reaction products of predetermined amount from reactor drum, continue to add all components simultaneously.Raw material adds speed and the amount of the reaction product of discharging from reactor drum is confirmed the reaction times or the residence time.This can confirm to obtain high raw material olefin transformation efficiency of economic operation and high reactor throughput in advance.
In this method,, make some factor balances for optimum.It at first is the selection of catalyst component.Bridging, substituted metallocenes are not effective catalyzer with a small amount of trialkylaluminium activatory by non-coordination anion (NCA).Metallocene components can be dihalide or dialkylated thing.But the dialkyl group form of metallocenes normally interacts and the activity chemistry component of acquisition active catalyst with the NCA acvator.When using the metallocenes dihalide, require to add trialkylaluminium or other alkylating reagent usually so that this dihalide form is changed into the dialkyl group form.In this case, the mol ratio of trialkylaluminium and metallocenes is 4-4000, any value among the preferred 8-500.(for example dimethyl-two (tetrahydro indenyl) closes zirconium, dimethyl-two (1 when using metallocenes dialkylated thing; 2-dimethyl-cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, dimethyl-two (1; 3-dimethyl-cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, dimethyl-two (1; 2,4-trimethylammonium cyclopentadienyl moiety) closing zirconium, dimethyl-two (tetramethyl-ring pentadienyl) closes zirconium or dimethyl-two (methyl-3-n-butyl cyclopentadienyl) to close perhaps many other metal diaikyl of zirconium luxuriant etc.) time, use a small amount of trialkylaluminium to obtain optimum catalyst productivity.In this case, the mol ratio of trialkylaluminium and metallocenes is 2-500 normally, preferred 3-200, more preferably 3-100 or 3-10.The amount no less important of the NCA that uses.The mol ratio of metallocenes and NCA can be 10-0.1.The preferred mol ratio of metallocenes and NCA approached 1: 1 or 0.5: 2.
In addition, the quantity of metallocenes concentration is important.For reach the highest catalyst productivity, to highly selective and the optimum temps control and the operability of lube range product, the preferred amounts of metallocenes/gram olefin feedstock is 1 microgram (or 0.001 milligram)/gram alkene to 1 milligram/restrain alkene.When the amount of the catalyst component that uses is too high, the temperature control difficulty that can become, it is uneconomical that selectivity of product can be suffered a loss and the catalyzer cost can become.
The amount no less important that is present in the hydrogen in the reactor drum.Usually, the hydrogen of a small amount of is preferred.Usually the hydrogen pressure head is kept and be equal to or less than 300psi, preferably be lower than 50psi, preferably be lower than 30psi, preferably be lower than 20psi, preferably be lower than 10psi.Perhaps, the amount of hydrogen is pressed 1ppm-30 in the feedstock composition, 000ppm, and preferred 10-10,000ppm, preferred 10-1, the concentration of 000ppm exists.Usually, keep lower hydrogen pressure to improve activity.It has surprisingly been found that the hydrogen that is present in the reaction medium is not easy initial terminal olefin feed hydrogen is changed into corresponding alkane under low-level hydrogen pressure or density of hydrogen.In fact, when having hydrogen in the reaction mixture, have been found that catalyst productivity improves significantly.This also is desirable, because the existence of low-level hydrogen causes having the ethylenic polymer of high vinylidene base content, this ethylenic polymer can be after a while through known method, and for example U.S. Patent number 6,043, and those disclosed is functionalized in addition in 401.Therefore, preferably keep the reactor hydrogen atmospheric pressure and be lower than 300psi, more preferably less than 100psi, preferably less than 50psi, preferably less than 25psi, preferably less than 10psi.Low pressure hydrogen not only helps preparing unsaturated polymer, and feed hydrogen is changed into low value alkane is important to farthest reducing.The hydrogen of minimum quantity hopes that equally preferred hydrogen is with 1psi, preferably 5psi existence at least at least.5-100psi hydrogen is added in the reactor drum normally actual.
The reaction times or the residence time also influence the transforming degree of raw material olefin.Usually, the longer reaction times or the residence time help higher raw material olefin conversion.Yet in order to make high conversion and high reactor throughput balance, the reaction times or the residence time were generally 1 minute-30 hours, more preferably 5 minutes-16 hours, and more preferably 10 minutes-10 hours.Can be through using single reactor drum or a series of cascade or parallel reactor or reaching this total residence time through the control reactant feed rate.
Selectivity through metallocenes (with NCA and/or coactivator activation) is selected; With through the operation condition (amount that comprises employed catalyzer; With an amount of trialkylaluminium as coactivator or scavenging agent; The amount of the residence time or reaction times and hydrogen) selectivity is selected, and is producing poly-alpha olefins above under the high catalyst productivity of 1.5 kilograms of gross product/employed metalloceness of gram.This high productivity makes this method become at economy and commercially attractive.

Usually, when using metalloscene catalyst, the pre-treatment of raw material olefin, solvent, thinner after and after maintenance catalyst component materials flow (one or more) and reactor drum preventive measures free from foreign meter, reaction will be carried out well.In some embodiments, when using metalloscene catalyst, especially when they are fixed on the carrier, complete catalyst system will comprise one or more removings in addition and use compound.At this, term " is removed with compound " and is meant the compound of from reaction environment, removing polar impurity.These impurity influence catalyst activity and stability unfriendly.Typically, before reactive component being introduced reaction vessel, use purification step usually.But do not use some remove with the situation of compound under this type of step will seldom allow polymerization or oligomeric.Normally, polymerization method will use a small amount of removing with compound (for example above-mentioned those) at least.
Typically, removing with compound will be organometallic compound, and for example U.S. Patent number 5,153,157,5,241,025 with the 13rd family's organometallic compound of WO-A-91/09882, WO-A-94/03506, WO-A-93/14132 and WO 95/07941.Exemplary compounds comprises triethyl aluminum, boron triethyl, triisobutyl aluminium, diisobutylaluminium hydride, MAO, isobutyl aluminium alkoxide and tri-n-octylaluminium.Have substituent those the at utmost unfavorable interactions of minimizing and active catalyst usually of the linear alkyl of huge or C6-C20 that is connected with metal or metalloid center.Instance comprises triethyl aluminum, but more preferably, huge compound is triisobutyl aluminium, three different prenyl aluminium and long-chain linear alkyl-substituted aluminum compound for example, for example tri-n-hexyl aluminum, tri-n-octylaluminium or three (dodecyl) aluminium.Aikyiaiurnirsoxan beta also can together be added by removing amount and other acvator, for example MAO, [Me 2HNPh] +[B (pfp) 4] -Or B (pfp) 3Wherein pfp is perfluorophenyl (C 6F 5), Me is a methyl, Ph is a phenyl.
PAO described herein also can prepare by the homogeneous solution method.Usually, this method is included in polymerization in the flow reactor or oligomeric, wherein with the initial monomers of polymkeric substance that forms and supply and catalystic material stirring with minimizing or avoid concentration or thermograde.Temperature in the reactor drum is controlled general following acquisition: with the reactor cooling of the reactant cold side materials flow of passing through reactor jacket or spiral coil cooling tube or cooling reactor content; From cooling; Pre-cooled raw material, liquid medium (thinner, monomer or solvent) evaporation or all above-mentioned combinations come equilibrium polymerization heat.Can also use the adiabatic reactor that adopts pre-cooled raw material.Temperature of reactor depends on employed catalyzer and required product.Higher temperature tends to produce lower molecular weight, and more low temperature tends to produce more HMW, yet this is not a hard-and-fast rule.Generally speaking, temperature of reactor preferably can be at-10 ℃ to 250 ℃, preferred 10 ℃-220 ℃, preferred 10 ℃-180 ℃, change between preferred 10 ℃-170 ℃.
Usually, it is significant reaction temperature as far as possible strictly being controlled in the pre-determined range.In order to prepare fluid with narrow molecular weight distributions, consequently promote the highest possible shear stability, control reaction temperature is useful in whole reactor, to obtain having minimum change in minimum temperature fluctuation and the reaction times process.If serial or parallel connection ground uses a plurality of reactor drums, then maintain the temperature in the predetermined range constant so that any broadening of MWD minimizes is useful.In order to prepare fluid with wide molecular weight distribution, can the conditioned reaction temperature, swingproflle or fluctuation; Or as in serial operation, second temperature of reactor preferably is higher than first temperature of reactor.In the parallel reactor operation, the temperature of two reactor drums is independently.Perhaps, also can be through using the intentional broadening MWD of polytype metalloscene catalyst.
Pressure in the employed any reactor drum of this paper can be at about 0.1 normal atmosphere-100 normal atmosphere (1.5psi-1500psi), and preferred 0.5 crust atm-75atm (8psi-1125psi) most preferably changes between the 1.0-50atm (15psi-750psi).Reaction can be under nitrogen atmosphere, or some hydrogen is arranged or other volatile constituent is arranged sometimes, for example propylene, PP materials flow, 1-butylene, C 4The branch of materials flow, 1-amylene etc. is depressed and is carried out.Sometimes small quantity of hydrogen is added in the reactor drum to improve catalyst productivity.The amount of hydrogen preferably remains on the sort of level of improving catalyst productivity, does not cause alkene but be not high enough to, and particularly any hydrogenation of raw material terminal olefin is very disadvantageous because terminal olefin changes into paraffinic hydrocarbons to the efficient of this method.It is lower that the amount of hydrogen partial pressure preferably keeps, less than 300psi, preferably less than 100psi, preferably less than 50psi, preferably less than 25psi, preferably less than 10psi.In the especially preferred embodiment in any method described herein, the concentration of hydrogen is less than 30 in the reactor drum, and 000ppm is preferably less than 5; 000ppm, preferably less than 1,000ppm is preferably less than 500ppm; Preferably less than 100ppm, preferably less than 50ppm, preferably less than 10ppm.
Reaction times or reactor residence time depend on the amount and the required level of conversion of employed catalyst type, employed catalyzer usually.Different metallic is luxuriant to have different activity.Usually, higher alkyl replacement degree is improved catalyst productivity on the cyclopentadienyl rings.Catalyzer for example dichloro two (1,2-dimethyl-cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, and dichloro two (1,3-dimethyl-cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, and dichloro two (1-methyl-3-n-butyl cyclopentadienyl) closes zirconium; Dichloro two (1-methyl-3-n-propyl cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, and dichloro two (1-ethyl-3-n-butyl cyclopentadienyl) closes zirconium, and dichloro two (1-methyl-3-n-hexyl cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, dichloro two (1; 2-diethylammonium cyclopentadienyl moiety) close zirconium, dichloro two (1,3-diethylammonium cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium, dichloro two (1; 2,3,4-tetramethyl-ring pentadienyl) closes zirconium or dichloro two (1,2; 4-trimethylammonium cyclopentadienyl moiety) close zirconium, or dichloro two (1,2,3-trimethylammonium cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium; Dichloro (1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-ring pentadienyl) (1; 3-dimethyl-cyclopentadienyl moiety) closes zirconium or dichloro (1,2,4-trimethylammonium cyclopentadienyl moiety) (1,3-dimethyl-cyclopentadienyl moiety) and close zirconium; Or dichloro two (indenyls) closes zirconium, or dichloro two (1-methyl indenyl) closes zirconium, or dichloro two (2-methyl indenyl) closes zirconium, or dichloro two (1; 2-dimethyl-indenyl) close zirconium, or dichloro two (4-methyl indenyls) closes zirconium, or dichloro two (4,7-dimethyl-indenyl) closes zirconium or dichloro two (tetrahydro indenyl) closes zirconium; Dichloro two (2-methyl-tetrahydro indenyls) closes zirconium, or dichloro two (1,2-dimethyl--tetrahydro indenyl) closes zirconium, or dichloro two (1-methyl-tetrahydro indenyl) closes zirconium; Or dichloro two (4-methyl-tetrahydro indenyls) closes zirconium, and dichloro two (4,7-dimethyl--tetrahydro indenyl) closes zirconium, or their dialkyl group analogue is compared with unsubstituted metallocenes and had desirable high productivity and stability.Usually, the amount of employed catalyst component is conclusive.High catalyzer tonburden often produces high the conversion in the short reaction times.Yet high catalyzer usage quantity makes that the preparation method is uneconomical and is difficult to control response heat and control reaction temperature.Therefore, select to have the catalyzer of maximum catalyst productivity so that the amount minimum of the amount of required metallocenes and acvator is useful.When catalyst system is that metallocenes adds Lewis acid or ionic promotor when (containing the NCA component), employed metallocenes typically is 0.01 microgram-500 microgram (or 0.5 milligram) metallocene components/gram terminal olefin raw material.Usually, preferred range is 0.1 microgram-100 microgram metallocene components/gram terminal olefin raw material.In addition, the mol ratio of NCA acvator and metallocenes is 0.1-10, preferred 0.5-5, preferred 0.5-3.If use the coactivator of alkylaluminium cpd, then the mol ratio of Al and metallocenes is 1-1000, preferred 2-500, preferred 4-400.
Usually preferably in the shortest possible reaction times, reach the highest possible transformation efficiency (near 100%) of raw material terminal olefin.Yet in the CSTR operation, the operation reaction is favourable sometimes under optimal conversion, and this optimal conversion is less than 100% transformation efficiency.Also exist part to transform to be more to cater to the need or occasion that the narrowest possible MWD of product is hoped, because part transforms the broadening that can avoid MWD.If reaction proceeds to less than 100% of terminal olefin and transforms, then unreacted parent material improves total method efficient being recycled with other product and solvents/diluents after separating.
The desirable residence time of any method described herein is between 1 minute-30 hours, and more preferably 5 minutes-16 hours, more preferably 10 minutes-10 hours.
In these methods each also can be by single reactor drum, and parallel connection or tandem reactor structure use.Liquid processes comprises to be tied up to olefinic monomer and above-mentioned catalyst body to contact in suitable thinner or the solvent and allows said monomer reaction to be enough to produce the time of required polymkeric substance or oligopolymer.Aliphatic series and aromatic hydrocarbon solvent all are fit to, and aromatic substance for example toluene, YLENE, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, cumene, tert.-butylbenzene is fit to.Alkane, for example hexane, heptane, pentane, iso-pentane and octane, Norpar or Isopar solvent (deriving from Houston, the ExxonMobil Chemical Company of Texas) also are fit to.Usually, toluene is suitable for the catalyst-solvent component most.Norpar, Isopar or hexane are preferably as reaction diluent.Toluene and Norpar, or the mixture of toluene and Isopar is often as thinner or solvent.Simplify and high reactor efficiency for method, preferably add solvent or thinner as few as possible in reactor drum.Sometimes for the high viscosity fluid production under the low temperature, add solvent or thinner to promote reaction heat transfer, stirring, product processing, filtration etc.Usually, in reactor drum, add,,,, preferably do not add solvent in reactor system preferably less than 10wt% preferably less than 20wt% preferably less than 30wt% less than 50wt% additional solvent or thinner.Reaction system has on a small quantity from solvent or thinner that catalyzer, acvator or coactivator/scavenging agent solution brings usually.
This method can be in continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR) or plug flow reactor, or the serial or parallel connection operation more than carrying out in the reactor drum.These reactor drums can have or can not have inner cooling and raw material monomer, and can be that refrigerated maybe can not have freezing.Referring to USP 5,705, the general disclosure of 577 pairs of general technology conditions.
When solid supported is used to transform, slurry polymerization/oligomerization process generally with similar temperature, pressure and the residence time scope described before this in operate.Slurry polymerization or oligomeric in, add the suspension-s of solid catalyst, promotor, monomer and comonomer.Take out the suspension-s that this comprises thinner off and on or continuously from reactor drum.Through filtration, spinning or sedimentation catalyzer is separated with product then.Then then with the fluid distillation desolvate to remove, any unreacted component and lighter products.Can with the part of solvent and unreacted component or light component or all recycling so that re-use.
If use the non-loading type solution catalyst, then after reaction is accomplished maybe when from reactor drum discharge product (for example among CSTR), that product still can comprise is soluble, suspension or blended catalyst component.Preferably with these component passivation or remove.Any conventional catalyst passivating method or solution washing method (aqueous wash method) can be used for removing catalyst component.Usually, make the reaction passivation through adding stoichiometry or excessive air, moisture, alcohol, Virahol etc.Then with dilute sodium hydroxide or with this mixture of water washing to remove catalyst component.This residual organic layer distillation is desolvated to remove, this solvent can recycling so that re-use.Any C can be further removed in this distillation 18Lower lightweight reaction product.These light component can be used for further reaction as thinner.Perhaps they can be as the olefinic starting material of other chemosynthesis because these light olefin product have the unsaturated part of vinylidene base, be very suitable for further functionalized with change into high performance fluids.Perhaps, these light olefin product can be hydrogenated to be used as the high quality paraffin solvents.
Polymerization in the presence of unusual small quantity of hydrogen or oligomericly also help providing polymkeric substance or oligopolymer with high unsaturated double-bond degree.These pairs key can easily change into the functionalized fluid with multiple performance characteristic.Can this polymkeric substance and maleic anhydride be reacted with acquisition PAO-succinyl oxide referring to the preparation of ashless dispersant greater than the instance that 300 polymkeric substance transforms these MW, it and amine, alcohol, Aethoxy Sklerol are reacted and change into dispersion agent.The instance of this kind conversion can be referring to the works " LubricantAdditives:Chemistry and Application " by Leslie R.Rudnick chief editor, Marcel Dekker, Inc.2003,143-170 page or leaf.
