Description

Impact-resistant polypropylene and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of propylene polymerization, in particular to impact-resistant polypropylene and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The polypropylene is mainly classified into homo-polypropylene, random polypropylene and impact polypropylene, and the homo-polypropylene has poor impact resistance due to the characteristics of molecular structures. The impact-resistant polypropylene has good rigidity-toughness balance due to the rigidity of the homopolymerized polypropylene and the impact resistance of the ethylene propylene rubber component, and is widely applied to the fields of automobiles, household appliances, injection molding containers and the like.
The current polypropylene industry has two major categories of methods for improving the impact resistance of polypropylene. The first type is a blending modification method, in which polypropylene and an elastomer are physically blended to obtain a polypropylene product with good impact resistance, and common elastomers include ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPR), ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), polyolefin elastomer (POE), powdered rubber and the like. The second way is a multistage reactor preparation method, generally, propylene homopolymerization is carried out in a first-stage reactor(s) to obtain a propylene polymer, then polymer powder is conveyed to a second-stage reactor to carry out copolymerization of propylene and alpha-olefin, and a propylene-alpha-olefin rubber phase is generated in pores of particles of the homopolymerized propylene polymer, thereby realizing the respective formation of a polypropylene matrix phase and a rubber phase. The second way is also the currently mainstream way of making impact polypropylene.
The preparation of impact-resistant polypropylene by adopting a multistage reactor usually enters a subsequent reactor along with the entrained gas of polymer powder obtained by a previous stage reactor, and the entrained gas (light component, mainly hydrogen) of the polypropylene powder participates in the subsequent polymerization reaction, so that the molecular weight of the polymer obtained in a gas-phase copolymerization stage is smaller, and the final impact resistance of the polymer is influenced. Therefore, the research on the method for removing the entrained gas in the polymer powder is of great significance.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention is to overcome the problems of the prior art and to provide a new impact polypropylene and a process for its preparation.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, in one aspect, a method for preparing impact polypropylene, the method comprising:
(1) Subjecting propylene to a prepolymerization reaction in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a catalyst, a cocatalyst and optionally an external electron donor;
(2) Then the material after the prepolymerization reaction, hydrogen and propylene are contacted to carry out homopolymerization reaction to obtain polymer powder;
(3) Introducing polymer powder and liquid-phase propylene into a gas-solid separator provided with a gas-phase outlet, wherein the liquid-phase propylene is vaporized in the gas-solid separator so as to carry and discharge light components from the gas-phase outlet of the gas-solid separator;
(4) And (4) carrying out copolymerization reaction of propylene and alpha-olefin on the basis of removing the polymer powder carrying light components in the step (3) to obtain impact-resistant polypropylene powder, wherein the alpha-olefin is ethylene and/or alpha-olefin with 4-10 carbon atoms.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides an impact polypropylene produced by the process as described above.
Through the technical scheme, the method provided by the invention effectively reduces the influence of light components (including hydrogen and ethylene) carried by upstream polymer powder on the control of downstream reaction composition by effectively reducing the light components carried by the upstream polymer powder to enter the downstream reaction, thereby being beneficial to improving the performance of a polymer product and being capable of obtaining the polymer product with high impact strength. The invention has low requirement on equipment, and particularly can realize the removal of the entrained light components without additionally introducing equipment in the loop polypropylene production process of liquid-phase bulk polymerization and gas-phase polymerization.
