Example 4
(1) Preparation of solid catalyst component
4.8g of magnesium chloride, 95mL of toluene, 4mL of epichlorohydrin and 12.5mL of tributyl phosphate (TBP) were sequentially added to a reactor fully replaced with high-purity nitrogen, and the mixture was heated to 50 ℃ with stirring and maintained for 2.5 hours. After the solid is completely dissolved, 1.4g of phthalic anhydride is added, the solution is continuously maintained for 1 hour, the solution is cooled to the temperature below minus 25 ℃, and TiCl is dropwise added within 1 hour460mL, slowly heating to 80 ℃, gradually precipitating the solid, adding 6mmol of electron donor compound FC-1, and maintaining the temperature for 1 hour. After hot filtration, 150mL of toluene was added and washed twice to obtain a solid. 100mL of toluene was added, the temperature was raised to 110 ℃ and three washes were carried out for 10 minutes each. Then 60mL of hexane is added for washing three times, and the solid component of the catalyst is obtained after vacuum drying.
