According to above-mentioned model, molecular weight distribution method of calculation can be summarized as follows:
One-parameter Flory most Probable distrebution is utilized to describe the instantaneous chain length distribution of each active sites of olefin polymerization process:
w j(r)=rτ(j) 2exp(-rτ(j))
Wherein w (r) is the chain length distribution function of weight, and r is polymkeric substance chain length, and parameter τ is the ratio of total chain tra nsfer speed and total polymerization speed.
For homopolymerization process, the τ of single active sites and rate constant, the correlation of polymerizing condition is:
τ ( j ) = k tM ( j ) [ M ] + k tH ( j ) [ H 2 ] 0.5 k p ( j ) [ M ]
For polymerization process, then have:
τ ( j ) = k tMT [ M T ] + [ H 2 ] 0.5 k pT [ M T ]
Wherein: k tMT=(k tAA(j) φ 1(j)+k tBA(j) φ 2(j)) f 1+ (k tAB(j) φ 1(j)+k tBB(j) φ 2(j)) f 2
k tHT=(k tHA(j)φ 1(j)+k tHB(j)φ 2(j))
k pT=(k pAA(j)φ 1(j)+k pBA(j)φ 2(j))f 1+(k pAB(j)φ 1(j)+k pBB(j)φ 2(j))f 2
[M T]=[M A]+[M B]
φ 1 = k pBA f 1 k pBA f 1 + k pBA f 2 , φ 2 = 1 - φ 1
Chain length distributionly can be write as the form that independent variable(s) is logarithmic coordinates by instantaneous by mathematic(al) manipulation:
w j(r)=ln10·r 2τ(j) 2exp(-rτ(j))
Total chain length distribution of polymkeric substance be each active sites generate the chain length distribution superposition of polymkeric substance, as shown in the formula:
W ( r ) = Σ j = 1 Ns m ( j ) w j ( r )
Above formula being write as the conventional molecular weight distribution phraseology of testing gained with gel permeation chromatography is:
x=log M w
dWt d ( log M w ) = 2.3 · Σ j = 1 Ns m ( j ) 1 M n ‾ ( j ) 2 exp ( 4.6 x - 1 M n ‾ ( j ) exp ( 2.3 x ) )
Copolymerization composition distribution calculation method is as follows:
Utilize Stockmayer bivariate distribution function to describe the instantaneous copolymerization composition single active sites generating multipolymer to distribute
w j ( F ) = 3 4 2 β ( j ) τ ( j ) [ 1 + ( F - F i ‾ ( j ) ) 2 / ( 2 β ( j ) τ ( j ) ) ] 5 / 2
Wherein, the definition of parameter τ is with identical above, and parameter beta following formula is obtained:
β ( j ) = F i ‾ ( j ) ( 1 - F i ‾ ( j ) ) [ 1 + 4 F i ‾ ( j ) ( 1 - F i ‾ ( j ) ) ( r A ( j ) r B ( j ) - 1 ) ] 0.5
F be i monomeric unit to account in j active sites generate the mole fraction of multipolymer, represent i monomeric unit and account for molar average point rate j active sites generating multipolymer, r a(j) and r bj () is the unexpectedly poly-rate of monomer A and monomers B in j active sites respectively.Total copolymerization composition distribution CCD of multipolymer is the superposition of the multipolymer copolymerization composition distribution that each active sites generates, as shown in the formula:
W t ( F ) = Σ j = 1 Ns m ( j ) w j ( F )

Wherein MWW calfor calculating the polyolefine weight-average molecular weight of gained, MWW objfor the polyolefinic weight-average molecular weight of the target trade mark, wherein the polyolefinic weight-average molecular weight of the target trade mark is known quantity.
2. time using the polyolefinic molecular chain conformation of new grades as optimization aim, molecular weight distribution curve is divided into N sheet, the sampling point number namely on molecular weight distribution curve is N, and the value of N number of point makes chain length be decile in logarithmic coordinates.Optimization object function is as follows:
min Σ k = 1 N point [ | W cal ( log M W k ) - W obj ( log M W k ) | / W obj ( log M W k ) ]
Wherein W obj(logM w k) represent the value of the polyolefinic molecular weight distribution curve of the target trade mark at k point place, be known quantity, W cal(logM w k) be the value of polyolefinic molecular weight distribution curve at k point place that model optimization obtains, k represents the numerical value of taken point on curve.N pointrepresentative is always counted.
3) determine the constraint condition of polymerization technique, comprise the upper lower limit value of temperature of reaction, the upper lower limit value of reaction pressure, the upper lower limit value of vapor phase hydrogen and monomer mole ratio, reactive system removes higher limit of heat energy power etc.
4) the optimum polymerization process condition meeting new grades quality product and require is solved.Design variable is hydrogen and monomer mole ratio in reactor, first arranges the initial value of systematic polymerization processing condition, and polymerization process condition is the temperature of arbitrary stage reactor, pressure, hydrogen and monomer mole ratio.For hydrogen in reactor and monomer mole ratio, the design variable value of trade mark product can be had as its initial value according to device.Then, according to the value of polymerization process condition, obtain material balance before utilization and energy balance model calculates polyolefine molecular-weight average or molecular weight distribution.As the polyolefine molecular-weight average that calculates or molecular weight distribution meet the optimization tolerance preset, then using the value of polymerization process condition now as optimizing the best polymerization process condition that obtains, otherwise the value of amendment polymerization process condition, returns step 3) and carries out iteration until calculate the polyolefine molecular-weight average or molecular weight distribution that meet the optimization tolerance preset.The maximum iteration time of system solution device can be set as 100 times, and the tolerance that setting is optimized can be 0.0001, and iterative algorithm can adopt SQP(SQP) Algorithm for Solving.
