Description

High-purity ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin and production process thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ethylene polymerization catalysts, and particularly relates to a high-purity ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin and a production process thereof.
Background
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is the engineering plastic with the best comprehensive performance, and the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has the best abrasion resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, self-lubrication and impact energy absorption among the existing plastics and is internationally called as a 'surprising material'. Due to its superior properties, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has been widely used in the fields of textile, paper making, packaging, transportation, machinery, chemical engineering, mining, petroleum, agriculture, construction, electrical, food, medical, sports, and the like, and has begun to enter the fields of conventional weapons, ships, automobiles, and the like.
The application of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is different according to the molecular weight of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resins, such as those with molecular weights >400 million, are used primarily for the production of fibers; the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin with the molecular weight of 200-400 ten thousand is mainly used for producing pipes and plates; the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin with the molecular weight of 50-100 ten thousand is mainly used for producing lithium ion battery diaphragms.
The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin is used as the lithium ion battery diaphragm, and the polyethylene resin is mainly obtained by plasticizing extrusion and biaxial tension, so that the structure and the performance of the polyethylene resin raw material have direct influence on the processing process, and directly determine the mechanical property of the microporous diaphragm. However, the ash content of the used ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene raw material of the current domestic diaphragm is usually 200-400 ppm, the residual amount of metal impurities is high, pinholes and crystal points are easy to appear on the surface of the produced microporous diaphragm, the puncture resistance strength of the microporous diaphragm is reduced, and the higher metal impurities can also cause adverse effects on the capacity and the cruising ability of the battery.
The medical application of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is mainly concentrated in medical materials such as joint replacement materials, tissue scaffolds, blood transfer pumps, packaging bags and the like, and the safety is very important because the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used for human biological materials, so that the polymer needs high purity and low impurity content.
The production process of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene mainly comprises a solution method, a slurry method and a gas phase method. Among them, the slurry process is a major production process at present, and adopts a traditional Ziegler-Natta catalyst system. In the catalyst system, the main components of the catalyst comprise titanium (active center), magnesium and other elements, and the main components of the cocatalyst comprise aluminum and the like.

In general, the fluctuation of hydrogen concentration in the reactor is large, which easily results in a wide molecular weight distribution of the product ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin, and further influences the mechanical properties, mechanical strength, wear resistance and the like of the resin.
Therefore, the catalyst suitable for the production of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin is developed, the problem that the production is difficult to control due to the fact that the amount of added hydrogen is small when the molecular weight is adjusted is solved, and the obtained ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin has the advantages of narrow molecular weight distribution and uniform polymer particle size distribution and has important significance.
