Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a catalyst composition for oligomerization of ethylene. The invention also relates to an application of the catalyst composition in an ethylene oligomerization process.
Background
Ethylene oligomerization is one of the most important reactions in the olefin polymerization industry. Through oligomerization, cheap small-molecular olefins can be converted into products with high added value. The ethylene oligomerization product, linear alpha-olefin (LAO), is an important organic chemical raw material. For example, LAO C4-C8 is used as an important organic raw material and a chemical intermediate, and is mainly applied to the field of producing high-quality Polyethylene (PE). The Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) produced by copolymerizing 1-hexene or 1-octene with ethylene can obviously improve various properties of PE, in particular can obviously improve the mechanical property, optical property, tear strength and impact strength of polyethylene, and the product is very suitable for the fields of packaging films, agricultural covering films for greenhouses, sheds and the like. LAO C10-C30 can be used as additives for preparing household cleaning agents, flotation agents, emulsifiers, lubricating components for refrigerators and lubricating components for drilling fluids, plasticizers, various additives, low-viscosity synthetic oils, polymers and copolymers, petroleum and petroleum product additives, higher alkylamines, higher organoaluminum compounds, higher alkylaryl hydrocarbons, higher fatty alcohols and fatty acids, epoxides, heat carriers, and the like. Adhesives, sealants and coatings can also be synthesized on the basis of LAO C20-C30. In recent years, with the continuous development of the polyolefin industry, the worldwide demand for α -olefins has rapidly increased. Wherein the majority of the alpha-olefin is prepared by ethylene oligomerization.
Since the last 70 s, the research on the polymerization and oligomerization of olefins catalyzed by transition metal complexes has been receiving the attention of scientists, and efforts have been made to research new catalysts and improve the existing catalysts, so as to improve the activity of the catalysts and the selectivity of catalytic products. Among the most developed and concentrated researches on the nickel-based cationic catalytic system were conducted in the earliest research, such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 3686351 and 3676523 reported earlier, and the Shell SHOP technology based on the technology of the above patents. The O-P bridging ligand is involved in the Shell company SHOP process, but the catalyst contains toxic organophosphorus groups, and the synthesis steps are complex and the stability is poor. Subsequently, many patents such as O-O, P-N, P-P and N-N type complex nickel catalysts have been developed, such as JP11060627, WO9923096, WO991550, CN1401666, CN1769270, etc. However, the catalysts obtained from the above patents suffer from the general disadvantage of relatively complicated preparation processes. Other catalysts are chromium, zirconium and aluminum, Brookhart groups (Brookhart, M et al, J.Am.chem.Soc.,1998,120, 7143-.
In the field of olefin polymerization, particularly metallocene catalysis, alkoxy aluminum such as Methyl Aluminoxane (MAO) or Modified Methyl Aluminoxane (MMAO) is generally used as a cocatalyst, and the price of MAO is dozens of times higher than that of other alkyl aluminum, so that the catalyst has long been a main bottleneck for restricting the industrialization of the field. In addition, MAO is very difficult to dissolve in alkane solvents, so commercially available MAO is generally an aromatic hydrocarbon solution such as toluene, which causes aromatic hydrocarbon residues in the reaction product, resulting in low catalyst activity and also seriously affecting product quality. While the use of co-polymer grade a-olefins in the preparation of polyethylene tends to severely limit their aromatic content.
There is no doubt that there is still a need for a novel catalyst with excellent comprehensive performance in the field of olefin oligomerization. Attention is paid to how to obtain a cocatalyst with lower cost and more excellent performance, so that an ethylene oligomerization catalyst with high activity and selectivity is developed, and the attention is paid to the industry.
