Description

Method for preparing poly-alpha-olefin synthetic lubricating oil base oil
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of lubricating oil base oil, and relates to a method for preparing poly-alpha-olefin synthetic lubricating oil base oil.
Background
The synthetic lubricant base oil is an important lubricant base oil prepared by an organic synthesis method. Compared with the traditional mineral lubricating oil base oil, the synthetic lubricating oil base oil has a certain chemical structure and excellent physicochemical properties because the polymerized monomer is a pure substance or a homologue. The synthetic lubricating oil base oil has more types, mainly comprises hydrocarbon oil, ester oil and other synthetic oil, wherein the poly-alpha-olefin synthetic oil (PAO) is a type of synthetic lubricating oil base oil which is used more, and the yield of the synthetic lubricating oil base oil accounts for about 45 percent of the market share of the synthetic lubricating oil base oil in the world.
The PAO is a kind of lubricant base oil prepared by oligomerization reaction of alpha-olefin and hydrogenation saturation under the action of catalyst, compared with other lubricant base oil, the PAO has better viscosity-temperature performance and oxidation stability, higher viscosity index and lower pour point, and can be used in harsher environment.
The catalyst for synthesizing PAO mainly comprises aluminum trichloride catalyst, boron trifluoride catalyst, Ziegler-Natta catalyst, metallocene catalyst, ionic liquid catalyst and the like. Metallocene catalysts have been a research hotspot in recent years and have been successfully applied to industrial production due to their single active center and high catalytic activity. The PAO molecules synthesized with metallocene catalysts have a unique comb-like structure, without the presence of upstanding side chains, which determines their higher viscosity index and better thermal stability compared to conventional PAO products.
The performance of the PAO product is determined by the degree of polymerization and molecular weight distribution of the oligomer product, generally speaking, the product viscosity and thermal stability increase with the increase of the carbon number of the PAO molecule, and more side chain structures and relatively shorter straight chain segments are beneficial to good fluidity of the PAO at low temperature. By changing the composition and reaction conditions of the catalyst system, the product distribution of the oligomerization reaction can be regulated, thereby adjusting the performance of the PAO product. For example, patent CN 105885929 discloses a method for reducing the dimer content in the product by adding a chain shuttling agent, which uses metallocene as a main catalyst, organic boride as a cocatalyst, and coal-made α -olefin as a reactant, and greatly reduces the dimer content in the polymerization product by adding a chain shuttling agent dialkyl zinc, thereby improving the yield of the lubricating oil base oil component, and the obtained product has better low-temperature fluidity.
The alpha-olefin serving as a raw material for synthesizing the PAO mainly comprises C6-C14 alpha-olefin, wherein 1-decene is an ideal raw material for synthesizing the PAO product, and the molecules of the PAO product produced by the alpha-olefin have a straight-chain alkane framework and a regular long-side-chain comb structure, so that the PAO product has excellent viscosity-temperature performance and low-temperature fluidity. 1-decene, mainly derived from ethylene oligomerization and paraffin cracking, is one of many products in the production of linear alpha-olefins (C4-C20), and the yield thereof accounts for about 10% -25% of the yield of all linear alpha-olefins, and the production cost of PAO is increased due to limited productivity and high price thereof, thereby limiting the use thereof as a raw material for synthesizing PAO. When 1-decene is used as a raw material for producing PAO, 1-decene dimer generated by oligomerization is not suitable as an effective component for producing PAO, and the dimer needs to be separated and sold as a separate product or polymerized with other olefins to produce PAO. In order to reduce the production cost of PAO, low-carbon α -olefins (e.g., 1-hexene) with low price are used as raw materials for producing PAO, and the production of oligomers should be minimized during production to obtain polymers with longer carbon chains. Patents US 5859159 and CN 101130467 report that the metallocene complex 1, 1-dimethylsilyl-bridged-bis (4,5,6, 7-tetrahydroindenyl) zirconium dichloride and 2- (tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) -4,6-di-tert-butylphenoxy titanium dichloride are used as catalysts, and 1-hexene and 1-octene are used as reactants for oligomerization, respectively, the conversion rate of the reactants can reach more than 60% under optimized reaction conditions, and the average molecular weight of the oligomerization product can reach more than 3000 by adjusting reaction parameters.
The cocatalyst is an important component of the metallocene catalyst system and is an essential component for initiating oligomerization. The cocatalyst which can be used for the oligomerization of alpha-olefin at present mainly comprises alkylaluminoxane, modified alkylaluminoxane and organic boride. The alkyl aluminoxane mainly comprises methyl aluminoxane, ethyl aluminoxane, butyl aluminoxane and the like, which have complex structures and are sensitive to water oxygen, and the use amount of the alkyl aluminoxane serving as a cocatalyst is large, so that the cost is high. Organic borides are used in combination with aluminum alkyls as cocatalysts for oligomerization reactions, and although relatively stable in nature and in small amounts, are less stable to metal atoms and to active sites than alkyl aluminoxanes.
Because the dimer cannot be used as an effective component of the lubricating oil base oil, the problem of more oligomers can be faced when the oligomerization reaction is carried out by taking alpha-olefin of C8-C14 as a raw material; meanwhile, when the carbon atom number of the raw material alpha-olefin is small, the obtained oligomerization product has poor low-temperature fluidity; when the carbon atom number of the raw material alpha-olefin is larger, the obtained oligomerization product has poorer viscosity-temperature performance; at present, C10 is the most ideal raw material, however, when n-decene is used as the raw material for preparing lubricating oil, the cost of reactants is high; when 1-hexene with lower price is used as a raw material, the effective components of the lubricating oil base oil are less due to more oligomers (including dimers) generated, so that the product distribution needs to be changed, and the selectivity of the high molecular weight oligomers needs to be increased, namely the product distribution of the oligomerization reaction needs to be changed.

The inventor researches and discovers that when the reactant is 1-hexene, the distribution of oligomerization products can be regulated and controlled by preparing the poly-alpha-olefin synthetic lubricating oil base oil by the method, namely the content of dimer and trimer in the 1-hexene oligomerization products is reduced and is higher than that of heptamer by changing the adding mode of the reactant and the catalyst, and the content of tetramer-hexamer is not obviously changed.
In the present invention, a reaction kettle can be used for reaction, and in some preferred embodiments, the reaction kettle is a glass reaction kettle or a stainless steel reaction kettle.
In the present invention, both mixing and stirring are achieved under stirring conditions, and in some preferred embodiments, the stirring is by magnetic stirring or mechanical stirring.
In the invention, because the reaction process needs to release heat, the adopted temperature control mode must be capable of timely taking away the heat generated in the reaction process, namely ensuring that the reaction is carried out at a constant temperature. Therefore, the temperature control mode used in the invention can be water bath temperature control or oil bath temperature control, but the electric heating jacket cannot be directly used for heating and controlling the temperature.
In the invention, the addition sequence of the reactants and the catalyst is that the main catalyst and the cocatalyst are added firstly, and the reactants are added after being stirred and mixed evenly.
In the step L, the main catalyst and the cocatalyst are added into the reaction kettle in the sequence of first adding the main catalyst metallocene complex and then adding the cocatalyst alkyl aluminoxane under continuous stirring.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the preparation of a polyalphaolefin synthetic lubricant base stock from 1-hexene comprises the steps of:
(1) subjecting the reaction system to N2Replacement, ensuring that the reaction system is anhydrous and oxygen-free;
(2) putting a certain amount of 1-hexene reactant into a constant-pressure dropping funnel, and heating to the reaction temperature;

(6) and (3) after the reaction is finished, adding the solution obtained after the reaction in the step (5) into dilute ice hydrochloric acid, and stopping the reaction (quenching).
The term "polyalphaolefin synthetic lubricant base oil" as used herein means a polyalphaolefin synthetic oil which is used as a lubricant base oil.
The term "reaction system" as used herein refers to a system or space containing reactants, products, procatalysts, cocatalysts, solvents and reaction equipment.
The term "no organic solvent is used in the reaction process" as used herein means that no organic solvent is added in addition to a small amount of organic solvent used for preparing the main catalyst solution and the cocatalyst solution in advance before the reaction; the organic solvent used for preparing the main catalyst solution and the cocatalyst solution is added with the catalyst, and the dosage of the organic solvent is smaller and far smaller than the addition of the reactants, so the organic solvent is not considered as the organic solvent for reaction.
Accordingly, the term "organic solvent used in the reaction process" as used herein means that in addition to a small amount of organic solvent used for preparing the main catalyst solution and the cocatalyst solution in advance before the reaction, an additional amount of organic solvent is added in the reaction process, and the additional amount of organic solvent is used as a reaction solvent and is larger than the added amount of the reactants.
The term "water" as used herein means deionized water, distilled water or ultrapure water unless otherwise specified or indicated.
The invention mainly aims at the problem that the effective components of the lubricating oil base oil are less due to more generated oligomers when the oligomerization reaction is carried out on the alpha-olefin with lower carbon number. The method of the invention is used for 1-hexene oligomerization, and after the reaction is finished, the oligomerization activity can reach 10 by chromatographic analysis6g·mol Zr-1·h-1The conversion rate of reactants reaches more than 95 percent, the selectivity of products of more than heptapolymerization in the oligomerization products can reach more than 45 percent, and the yield of effective components of the lubricating oil is improved. Meanwhile, the 1-hexene reactant is added dropwise, so that the reaction process is mild, and the problem that the reaction cannot be controlled due to rapid rise of the reaction temperature caused by a large amount of heat release in the reaction process is avoidedTo a problem of (a). When 1-octene is used as a reactant, it has similar advantages to oligomerization of 1-hexene. When alpha-olefins above C10 are used as reactants, a higher viscosity lubricant base oil will be produced.
The method for preparing the polyalpha-olefin synthetic lubricating oil base oil can be understood as a method for regulating and controlling the distribution of 1-hexene oligomerization reaction products, and the selectivity of different oligomerization products is changed by changing the adding modes of reactants, a main catalyst and an auxiliary catalyst in the reaction process, namely dropwise adding the reactants (low-carbon olefin, such as 1-hexene) into a mixed solution of the main catalyst and the auxiliary catalyst by using a constant-pressure dropping funnel. The 1-hexene oligomerization reaction carried out according to the method has higher catalytic activity and selectivity of oligomerization products of more than seven polymerization, overcomes the problem of higher oligomer content in the 1-hexene oligomerization reaction, and achieves the purposes of regulating and controlling the distribution of the oligomerization products and improving the content of effective components of the lubricating oil base oil. Meanwhile, the 1-hexene reactant is added dropwise, so that the reaction process is mild, and the problem that the reaction temperature is rapidly increased due to a large amount of heat release in the reaction process, so that the reaction cannot be controlled is solved.
