Description

Catalyst for ethylene and propylene copolymerization and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a catalyst for ethylene and propylene copolymerization and application thereof.
Background
The ethylene-propylene copolymer is a synthetic polymer material with wide application, wherein the ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR) with the ethylene content of 20-50 percent has the property of an elastomer and is widely applied as a plastic toughening modifier. The isotactic polypropylene (iPP) has poor toughness and transparency, is difficult to be used in the application fields of manufacturing pipes and the like, and can be used for preparing a modified polypropylene material with impact resistance far higher than that of the common iPP by blending proper amount of EPR into the iPP, thereby being applied to various fields of automobile bumpers, impact-resistant injection-molded products and the like. However, EPR with random sequence distribution is incompatible with iPP, and the EPR phase region in the iPP/EPR blend material obtained by blending the EPR and the iPP has larger size, so that the toughening effect of the EPR can not be fully exerted.
One type of catalyst common to EPR industrial production is a heterogeneous catalyst system consisting of a granular main catalyst formed by loading titanium chloride on magnesium chloride and an organic aluminum cocatalyst, and the synthesized EPR contains more crystalline fractions (generally about 20%). Previous studies have shown that the crystalline fraction in EPR prepared by titanium-based catalyst system consists of a series of ethylene-propylene multiblock copolymers with different compositions, wherein the relatively longer propylene-sequence block copolymer chain is compatible with both iPP and ethylene-propylene random copolymer, thus playing a role in compatibilization in the blending material of iPP and EPR, reducing the size of the EPR phase region and improving the toughening effect of random copolymer. It is expected that EPR with longer propylene sequence is prepared and then blended with iPP to prepare high-performance polyolefin material with excellent rigidity and toughness, so that more catalysts for ethylene propylene copolymerization are required to be developed.
