Determination of polymerization temperature:
the polymerization temperature has a large influence on the polymerization rate, the molecular weight distribution and the catalyst teaching rate, and the determination of a suitable reaction temperature has an important influence on the properties of the copolymer produced:
The catalyst activity versus temperature curve shows that the catalyst activity is inversely proportional to the polymerization temperature, and that an increase in temperature greatly reduces the solubility of the monomer in the solvent, and that the active center lifetime decreases with increasing temperature. The catalyst efficiency decreases with increasing temperature, which in turn leads to a decrease in yield, and the molecular weight of the polymer decreases with increasing temperature.

Determination of comonomer ratio in polymerization System:
the ratio of the comonomers in the polymerization system directly affects the amount of each monomer incorporated into the copolymer due to the reactivity ratio difference. The individual monomer concentration variations also have a significant effect on the polymerization rate. The molar ratio of ethylene to propylene in the reactor gas phase is shown in Table 1 in relation to the ethylene content in the product.
TABLE 1
Figure SMS_2
Influence of catalyst concentration:
the catalyst concentration increases, the active center increases, the polymerization reaction accelerates, but the catalyst efficiency decreases, the polymer molecular weight decreases, the mooney viscosity decreases with it, and the polymerization temperature will increase significantly due to the acceleration of the reaction rate. The mass ratio of the aluminum alkyl to the vanadium catalyst has extremely important influence on the polymerization reaction, the aluminum alkyl catalyst not only serves as a cocatalyst for alkylating metal vanadium to form an active center, but also plays a role in chain transfer and purifying trace impurities in a reaction system, when the mass ratio of the aluminum catalyst to the vanadium catalyst in the reaction system is more than 20, the polymerization reaction rate is reduced, and when the mass ratio of the aluminum catalyst to the vanadium catalyst is less than 5, a large amount of gel is generated. The single pass conversion of monomer increases with increasing catalyst concentration. In the design of the polymerization catalyst, the invention determines that the mass ratio of the aluminum catalyst to the vanadium catalyst is 7; the concentration of vanadium in the solution was 1:20 to 40 tens of thousands (weight ratio).
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the process further comprises the step of adding a molecular weight regulator. The molecular weight regulator is used as chain terminator in polymerization reaction to regulate molecular weight of polymer, and the molecular weight is controlled by means of the concentration ratio of molecular weight regulator to comonomer, and the different product brands correspond to different ratios, and every 0.1 change of the ratio, the Mooney viscosity of the product is changed by 3 units. More preferably, the mass ratio of the molecular weight regulator to the monomer in the reactor gas phase is 0.1 to 1.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the above-described process, the determination of the polymerization residence time is closely related to the polymerization rate and the life of the catalyst. The molecular weight reaches a relatively high value within a few minutes after the start of the reaction, after which the molecular weight of the copolymer, although increasing somewhat with increasing high molecular weight fraction, is greatly reduced in magnitude. The polymer yield increases with increasing residence time, and the molecular weight and catalyst efficiency increase slightly, but the utilization of the reactor for monomer conversion decreases. Preferably, the residence time of the polymerization reaction is from 20 minutes to 120 minutes.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the above process, the concentration of the product in the reactor liquid phase affects the yield, affects the heat transfer, mass transfer process of the polymerization reaction, affects the subsequent solvent recovery costs, affects the subsequent catalyst residue removal effect. Preferably, the concentration of the copolymer obtained in the reactor is controlled to be 5 to 18wt% during the polymerization reaction.
According to a specific embodiment of the invention, in the above process, the reactor recycle gas flow is determined according to the gas yield of the polymerization reaction and the stirring strength requirement of the reactor liquid phase. Preferably, during the polymerization reaction, the flow rate of the circulating gas in the reactor is controlled to be 1000-3000m 3 /h。
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, in the above process, the mass specifications of the product of the polymerization reaction (i.e., copolymer) include:
the product of the polymer reaction meets the following requirements:
molecular weight distribution: mw/mn=1.2-4.8;
combining propylene mass fraction: 25-52 wt%;
mooney viscosity: ml1+4100=25-120.
In the process, various polymerization monomers, catalysts and solvents are continuously added into a reactor after being metered, the temperature, the pressure, the liquid level and the flow of discharged gas of the reactor are controlled, the polymerization reaction heat enables a part of monomers and solvents to evaporate from the reactor, and the evaporated gas is compressed and condensed and then returned to the reactor; after the polymerization reaction is completed in the reactor, the product enters a monomer separation tower, unreacted monomers are distilled out, and the distilled monomers are returned to the reactor for recycling. The method keeps the stability of working conditions and grasps the monomer placement in the polymerization reaction system in real time, and is very important for controlling the quality of products.
