Description

Method for continuously preparing polyolefin and polyolefin prepared by method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polyolefin material preparation, and particularly relates to a method for continuously preparing polyolefin and the polyolefin prepared by the method, in particular to a method for continuously preparing polyolefin elastomer or a mixture of the polyolefin elastomer and a product prepared by the method.
Background
Polyolefin elastomers are widely used mainly as adhesives, hot melt adhesives, ink additives, waterproof rolls, toughening materials and the like, wherein the toughening material is a main use mode of modified polypropylene or polyethylene. Polyolefin elastomers are generally copolymers of two or more olefins with low or no melting point and low glass transition temperature.
Polyolefin plastics, such as typical high density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, isotactic polypropylene, etc., can be produced by liquid phase bulk polymerization, gas phase polymerization, slurry polymerization, etc., such as Unipol process, Spheripol process, Novolene process, etc., olefin gas is converted into polymer particles under the catalysis of a coordination catalyst, the polymerization temperature is generally between 60 and 90 ℃, in this temperature range, the polymer particles keep shapes in a reactor and do not stick to the reactor, and the polymer is discharged out of the reactor in the form of particles.
However, in the case of polypropylene elastomers, when the polymerization temperature is between 60 ℃ and 90 ℃, the resulting polymer is sticky, the morphology cannot be maintained, the reactor is severely clogged, and continuous production cannot be achieved. The optimum polymerization temperature of the existing catalyst systems cannot be lowered. Therefore, to meet the characteristics of polyolefin elastomers, new continuous process reactors must be developed.
Reactive extrusion is a new polymerization method, and U.S. Pat. No. 5, 4,058,654 (1977) reports that random polybutene-1 material is prepared by reactive extrusion technology, the catalytic system is metal alkyl or titanium catalyst-aluminum alkyl cocatalyst, the polymerization residence time disclosed in the patent is difficult to reach the requirement of butene-1 catalytic polymerization, and therefore, no subsequent industrial application report about the patent technology is found. The U.S. Pat. No. 5,644,007 discloses a process for polymerizing alpha-olefins by plug flow reaction, but in the examples of the above patents, liquid olefins such as octene or hexene are mainly used as monomers, while gaseous monomers such as ethylene, propylene and butene are avoided, so that it can be seen that the above polymerization process conditions are still very incomplete and need to be improved. CN102190832A discloses a method for preparing polybutene-1 material by an extrusion process, but the method has the defects of unreasonable prepolymerization feeding mode, no stirring, difficult discharging and small process application range.
