Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of olefin polymerization, and particularly relates to a production method of a three-kettle series propylene polymer.
Background
The polypropylene is a variety which develops the fastest in synthetic resin, along with the rapid development of propylene polymerization and catalysis technologies, the variety and the brand of the polypropylene are continuously increased, the application range is continuously expanded, and the polypropylene becomes an important synthetic material.
The difference between the polypropylene production processes is mainly reflected in the difference of reactor types, and the uniformity of the particle size of the polymer corresponding to different reactor types is different, especially the uniformity of the particle size of the polymer in a horizontal reactor is better.
CN1228096 discloses a polymerization process using a series connection of double horizontal gas-phase stirred reactors, in which a material transfer device is arranged between two horizontal gas-phase kettles connected in series, so that different operating conditions can be adopted in the two reactors to produce polymers with better performance. The materials in the horizontal kettle are not in a fluidized state, and the stirring paddle does not produce forward or backward pushing action on the materials, so that the flowing state of the materials in the horizontal kettle reactor is close to a horizontal plug flow. Because the residence time distribution of materials in the horizontal reactor is narrowed, the back mixing and short circuit phenomena of the catalyst in the horizontal stirred reactor are less, and the method has the advantages of high catalyst utilization rate and uniform product properties.
However, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst used for propylene polymerization has high activity in the initial stage of the reaction, and has a reaction peak, and the exothermic amount is large. Because the residence time distribution of materials in the horizontal stirring reactor is close to plug flow and the initial concentration of the catalyst is higher, the reaction is particularly violent in the initial stage, so that local hot spots are easily formed in a bed layer, and if measures are not taken in time, polymer powder is likely to melt to form various lumps, thereby influencing the stable production of the device. The degree to which the reactor approaches plug flow varies with different stirrer designs, with better uniformity of particle size distribution but greater likelihood of creating the aforementioned localized "hot spots" with reactors closer to plug flow. Obviously, this contradiction cannot be resolved if the same stirring pattern is used.
Chinese patent CN108586644A provides a multistage polymerization method and device for propylene, which comprises introducing prepolymerization reaction, performing two-stage liquid-phase bulk polymerization to stabilize the catalyst activity, and performing two-stage gas-phase polymerization to obtain the final product polymer with wide molecular weight distribution, excellent mechanical properties and processability. One of the reactors is a gas phase horizontal stirred tank reactor, and the others are all full-mixing tank reactors, so that the technology has the problems of uneven product properties and the like.
Chinese patent CN87100218 proposes a polymerization method in which one section is a liquid phase bulk polymerization reactor and the other section is a horizontal stirred tank reactor. Wherein the liquid phase bulk polymerization reactor is a complete mixing flow reactor, the horizontal stirred tank reactor is a plug flow reactor, the proportion of the complete mixing flow reaction is usually higher or not optimized, and the particle size uniformity of the product is not high. In the method, a liquid-phase bulk polymerization product and a large amount of unreacted substances are directly injected into the horizontal kettle, so that the problem of local hot spots in the horizontal kettle is solved, but two different reaction conditions cannot be generated in two reactors, and a product with better performance cannot be obtained.
In a word, the prior art has the problems that the product has uneven particle size or low product performance, local 'hot spots' of a horizontal kettle are difficult to solve and the like, and still needs a perfect solution.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention finds that different stirring paddles cause different degrees of approach of the horizontal stirring kettle to the plug flow, so that the risk of local 'hot spots' generated when the high-activity polymerization catalyst is added into the reactor is different. The research of the invention shows that the horizontal stirring kettle adopting the straight blade paddle is equivalent to 3 to 4 full-mixing kettles, and the horizontal stirring kettle adopting the frame type paddle is equivalent to 7 to 8 full-mixing kettles. The invention further discovers that the addition of a full mixing kettle in front of the horizontal kettle not only affects the uniformity of the particle size of the product, but also affects the risk that the horizontal kettle generates local 'hot spots'. According to the invention, through optimizing the yield distribution of the full-mixing kettle and the two horizontal kettles, adopting a mixing-type stirring paddle design in the horizontal kettles, and arranging a separation device between the two horizontal kettles for realizing two independently adjustable reaction conditions, a polymer product with uniform particle size and high performance can be obtained, and meanwhile, the horizontal kettles do not generate local 'hot spots' and are not easy to agglomerate, so that the operation stability is better.
