Description

Method for producing alpha-olefin by ethylene oligomerization
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ethylene oligomerization, and relates to a method for producing alpha-olefin by ethylene oligomerization.
Background
Alpha-olefin is an important organic raw material and an intermediate product, and carbon-carbon double bonds exist at the end position of a molecular chain, so that a series of reactions such as oxidation reaction, polymerization reaction, alkylation reaction and sulfonation reaction can be carried out. Alpha-olefins are widely used in polyethylene comonomers, surfactants, lubricants, plasticizers, polyalphaolefins, adjuvants and fine chemicals.
Compared with other processes, the method for producing alpha-olefin by ethylene oligomerization has higher purity and can meet the requirements of downstream high-end use. The ethylene oligomerization can be used for synthesizing even-numbered olefins of C4-C30 in a wide range of non-selectivity mode and also can be used for selectively synthesizing one or more alpha-olefins. The ethylene oligomerization uses metal organic compound as catalyst, such as P, O coordinated nickel catalyst, N coordinated chromium catalyst, etc. Such catalysts usually require an anhydrous and oxygen-free environment to achieve their catalytic performance, and require an aluminum alkyl or alkylaluminoxane or other co-catalyst to remove impurity components from the reaction system or to form active sites with the main catalyst. Among the ethylene oligomerization processes already in commercial use, the process of INEOS and Shell company is one in which the catalyst can be recovered. The catalyst of other processes, especially the ethylene selective oligomerization process, is a homogeneous catalyst, and is sensitive to polar substances such as water, oxygen and the like, so that the catalyst cannot be recycled. The aluminum alkyls or the alkylaluminoxanes are generally expensive, account for more production cost in the production of the alpha-olefin and even depend on import to be controlled by foreign enterprises. In the case of unrecoverable cocatalyst, increasing the utilization of alkylaluminum or alkylaluminoxane is a way to reduce the cost.
