Description

Catalyst composition and application thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a catalyst composition for oligomerization of ethylene. The invention also relates to the use of a catalyst composition in an ethylene trimerisation process.
Background
The use of chromium-based catalysts for the oligomerization of olefins, primarily alpha-olefins, has been extensively studied. More specifically, a number of chromium-based catalysts have been developed and used for the oligomerization of olefins to produce alpha-olefins. Among them, the trimerization of ethylene to 1-hexene and the tetramerization of ethylene to 1-octene are of particular significance. Compared with the copolymer of 1-butene, the LLDPE resin copolymerized by 1-hexene and 1-octene has obviously excellent tensile strength, impact strength, tear resistance and durability, and is particularly suitable for packaging films, agricultural covering films for greenhouses, sheds and the like. In the context of alpha-olefins as comonomers, 1-hexene and 1-octene have been gradually substituted for 1-butene to produce high performance PE products.
The production method of alpha-olefin mainly includes wax cracking method, ethylene oligomerization method, extraction separation method, fatty alcohol dehydrogenation method and internal olefin isomerization method. Among them, the ethylene oligomerization method is one of the important ways of producing alpha-olefin because of its characteristics of high purity, good selectivity, high utilization rate of raw material, etc.
After a way of selectively preparing 1-hexene by ethylene trimerization by using a homogeneous ternary chromium-based catalyst is reported by John R.Briggs in J.chem.Soc., chem.Commun., 1989,674-675, a 1-hexene production technology is greatly developed. In order to make more rational use of petroleum feedstocks, efforts have been made to develop highly efficient oligomerization catalysts, with the expectation of obtaining high purity higher alpha-olefins. In many explorations, the interaction of heteroatom ligands with chromium-based compounds and their use for the oligomerization of olefins has become a new area of research in this field. CN1606539A discloses a coordination compound of multidentate ligand phosphine, arsenic and/or antimony containing aluminoxane and chromium salt, and the coordination compound is used in the ethylene oligomerization reaction process; WO2003053890 reports that a novel sulfur-nitrogen heteroatom ligand is used for olefin oligomerization, olefin oligomerization occurs under the action of a chromium compound and alkylaluminoxane, and the catalyst composition has the characteristics of high catalytic activity, high purity of 1-hexene product and the like. However, the catalysts obtained from the above patents generally have the disadvantages of high price and high product cost.
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, and even influences the exertion of catalyst activity and also seriously influences 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.
