Description

Silica gel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of macromolecules, and relates to a silica gel carrier, a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to a silica gel carrier of a metallocene catalyst, a preparation method thereof and application of the silica gel carrier as a carrier of the metallocene catalyst.
Background
The metallocene catalyst is a 3 rd generation olefin polymerization catalyst followed by a Ziegler catalyst, a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. The metallocene catalyst is an organometallic complex catalyst formed by cyclopentadienyl and derivatives thereof and transition metal. Homogeneous metallocene catalysts have many advantages, but problems arise when polyolefin products are produced using existing plants, such as: the particle morphology of the polymer is not good and is difficult to control; large amount of Methylaluminoxane (MAO), high cost, easy kettle adhesion, difficult subsequent treatment and granulation process are required, thereby limiting further application in industry.
The method of use which is common at present is to support metallocene catalysts. Among the most commonly used supports is SiO 2 Or SiO physically and chemically modified 2 Most researchers believe that silica gel relies primarily on free hydroxyl groups on its surface for metallocene catalyst support. Silica gel generally cannot be directly used as a carrier of metallocene catalysts, and free water, a even hydroxyl group, a double hydroxyl group and a free hydroxyl group on the surface of the silica gel are all poisons of catalyst ligands. Therefore, it is common practice that silica gel needs to be thermally activated as well as chemically activated before use.
The common methods for thermal activation of silica gel are: heating the silica gel in an inert atmosphere according to a programmed temperature control mode, gradually heating to a specified temperature (such as 400-800 ℃) step by step, activating for a certain time at a high temperature, and then cooling to finish the thermal activation of the silica gel carrier. At present, the influence of process conditions such as a heating process, thermal activation time, final activation temperature and the like of a silica gel carrier on carrier particles in the industry is researched more and is mature. However, the research on the control and influence of the thermal activation and temperature reduction process of the silica gel is few, and basically, the silica gel is cooled naturally or is heated in a closed mode and then continuously cooled under the action of inert atmosphere, and almost no attention is paid to the influence of the silica gel on the silica gel carrier particles.
When the silica gel support is chemically activated, it may be treated with another compound and then treated with MAO, or treated with MAO and then another compound, and then loaded with the metallocene catalyst. At present, the chemical activation method of silica gel basically adds solvent, silica gel, chemical treatment agent, MAO and other components into a reactor in one step or in multiple steps, and the process is generally carried out in a liquid phase environment.
CN103204509 discloses a food additive silica gel and its production process, comprising: preparing raw materials, reacting to prepare glue, aging to remove iron andenhancing activity, washing with water, instantly drying, pulverizing and grading particle size. The median value of the obtained silica gel particle size is reasonably controlled, the specific surface area and the pore volume are larger, the effective particle size distribution in the silica gel is concentrated, and the content of particles smaller than 10 mu m is low. The heat activation process of the silica gel carrier for the polyolefin catalyst researches the influence of the temperature rise rate, the silica gel particle size, the silica gel type and the like on the physical adsorption water and the surface hydroxyl removal amount in the heat activation process of the silica gel carrier, and tests show that the silica gel adsorption water can be basically removed at 200 ℃; as the activation treatment temperature increases, decreasing the rate of temperature increase increases the degree of hydroxyl group removal. Before the catalyst is prepared, the silica gel is pretreated by using the combined action of MAO and ethylene glycol (glycerol and bisphenol A), so that the polymerization performance of the obtained metallocene catalyst is improved, the loading capacity of zirconium is improved, and the bulk density of resin is improved. "Advances in the study of silica-supported metallocene catalysts" mention that polyhydroxy radicals can be used in the chemical treatment of silica due to the presence of multiple electron deficient centers Al in the MAO molecule 3+ It can act with polyhydroxy containing multiple polar groups to increase the specific surface area of the carrier, thereby increasing the loading of the catalyst. CN101554595B discloses a catalyst carrier for olefin polymerization, its preparation method and application, wherein the catalyst is a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, the shape of the catalyst carrier is spherical, and the catalyst carrier is divided into three layers from inside to outside, wherein the inner layer is an inert inorganic material, the middle layer is a complex of polyol and magnesium halide deposited on the inert inorganic material, and the outer layer is an organic polymer containing polar functional groups supported on the complex. When the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is applied to the polymerization of ethylene or propylene, the melt flow ratio of the obtained polymerization product is obviously improved, the processability of the polymerization product is improved, and the Ziegler-Natta catalyst has the characteristic of high activity. The prior art does not relate to programmed cooling control of silica gel thermal activation, influence of the cooling process on the characteristics of silica collagen, and treatment by using glycol. In the prior art, when silica gel is chemically treated, the treatment is generally carried out under a liquid phase condition, and the treatment is carried out on a silica gel carrier by using polyalcohol and MAO together, so that the influence of singly treating the silica gel by using the polyalcohol is avoided; none of the above techniques relate toThe influence of the addition of glycol on the characteristics of the carrier silica gel in the temperature reduction stage of thermal activation.

Figure BDA0001837341170000141
Note: the content means weight percentage.
According to the experimental data and results in table 1, the proper content of ethylene glycol is added, and the content percentage is 1-5%, so that the silica gel carrier can keep the original characteristics, and the characteristics such as specific surface area, pore diameter, pore volume, particle size and the like are not greatly influenced. In example 6, the amount of ethylene glycol was too high to reach 7.8%, and various characteristics of the silica gel carrier were affected to different degrees, so that it is very important to select the amount of ethylene glycol for the preparation of the silica gel carrier. In comparative example 1 and comparative example 2, programmed cooling and natural cooling were respectively used in the cooling stage, and no ethylene glycol was added in the thermal activation process, and it can be known from the experimental results that no matter which cooling method was used, the characteristics of the silica gel carrier were greatly affected in all aspects due to no addition of ethylene glycol.

Note: the content means weight percentage.
According to the experimental results of Table 2, in comparative examples 1-6 and comparative examples 1-3, the silica gel obtained by the preparation method of the present invention maintained high levels of both aluminum content and zirconium content, which was beneficial to the loading of active sites, and the MAO activation efficiency was high, and the activity of the obtained catalyst was improved. In example 6, the catalyst activity improvement was limited due to the excessively high amount of ethylene glycol. In comparative examples 1 and 2, ethylene glycol was not used, and the catalyst activity was significantly weak. In comparative example 3, the catalyst activity was improved compared to comparative examples 1 and 2 by adding ethylene glycol during the preparation of the catalyst, but it was significantly lower than examples 1 to 5 of the present invention and was not as good as example 6 of the present invention.
