Detailed Description
The method for producing the catalyst component of the present invention generally comprises the steps of: the catalyst is prepared by forming a metal dialkoxide from a metal dialkyl and an alcohol, halogenating the metal dialkoxide, halogenating/titanating in two or more steps to form a catalyst, then treating the catalyst component with a pre-activator such as an organoaluminum, and then heat treating the pre-activated catalyst. Increasing the amount of halogenation/titanation agent used in the second halogenation/titanation step increases the molecular weight distribution of the product polyolefin produced from the catalyst. Thus, the molecular weight distribution of the product polyolefin can be altered.
The mechanism proposed by the process of the invention is generally as follows:
1.MRR′+2R″OH→M(OR″)2
2.M(OR″)2+ClAR′″x→″A″;
3.″A″+TlCl4/Ti(OR″″)4→″B″;
4.″B″+TiCl4→″C″;
5. "C" + TEAL → preactivated catalyst;
6. heat treatment of preactivated catalysts
In the above formula, M may be any suitable metal, preferably group IIA, most preferably Mg. In the above formula, R, R ', R' and R 'are each a single hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl moiety, and R' contain 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and still more preferably 2 to 4 carbon atoms. R "typically contains 3 to 20 carbon atoms, R'" typically contains 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R "" typically contains 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and is typically butyl. Any combination of two or more of R, R ', R' may be the same, or the R groups may be different from each other.
ClAR' ″ in the above formulaxIn which A is preferably a non-reducing oxophilic compound capable of replacing an alkoxy group with a chloride ion, R' "is preferably hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl, and x is the valence of A minus 1. Examples of a include titanium, silicon, aluminum, carbon, tin and germanium, with titanium and silicon being most preferred and x being most preferred 3. Examples of R' "include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl and the like containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms.
When the exact composition of product "a" is unknown, it is believed to contain a partially chlorinated metal compound, an example of which is ClMg (OR' "). The reaction product "B" may be a complex of a chlorinated or partially chlorinated metal with a titanium compound, for example, may be a complex of (MCl)2)y·(TiClx(OR)4-x)z′The complex represented. The second chlorination/titanation produces the reaction product, catalyst component "C", which may also be a complex of a chlorinated and partially chlorinated metal with a titanium compound, but unlike product "B", may be prepared from (MCl)2)y·(TiClx′(OR)4-x′)z′The complex represented. "product C" is expected to be more chlorinated than "product B". A greater degree of chlorination can produce different complexes of different compounds. While these descriptions of the reaction products now provide the most likely chemical explanations, the invention as recited in the claims is not limited by these theoretical mechanisms.
The metal alkyls and resulting metal dialkoxides suitable for use in the present invention include any metal alkyls and metal dialkoxides that produce suitable polyolefin catalysts when used in the present invention. Preferred metal dialkoxides and dialkyl metals include metal dialkoxides and metal dialkoxides of group IIA metals. More preferred metal dialkoxides or dialkyl metals are magnesium dialkoxides or magnesium dialkyls.
In an embodiment of the invention, the magnesium dialkyl [ MgRR '] may be any magnesium dialkyl wherein R and R' are as described above. Of course, R and R' may be the same or different. Non-limiting examples of suitable dialkylmagnesium include diethylmagnesium, dipropylmagnesium, dibutylmagnesium, butylethylmagnesium, and the like. Butylethylmagnesium (BEM) is the preferred magnesium dialkyl.
In an embodiment of the invention, the metal dialkoxide is preferably of the formula Mg (OR')2Wherein R' is a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
The metal dialkoxide is most preferably soluble and non-reducing. The advantage of the non-reducing compound is that it forms MgCl2Rather than soluble Ti formed by reduction of compounds such as MgRR+3The latter tend to form catalysts having a broad particle size distribution. In addition, Mg (OR')2Is less reactive than MgRR' and it is chlorinated with a weak chlorinating agent, then simultaneously chlorinated/titanized with a weak agent and second chlorinated/titanized with a stronger agentIs a stepwise and sequential stronger reaction which results in a more uniform product, i.e. better control of catalyst particle size and particle size distribution.
Non-limiting examples of preferred types of metal dialkoxides that are suitable for use include dibutoxymagnesium, dipentyloxymeagnesium, dihexyloxymagnesium, bis (2-ethylhexyloxy) magnesium, and any alkoxide suitable to render the system soluble. The most preferred type of metal alkoxide is magnesium bis (2-ethylhexyloxy).
By way of non-limiting example, magnesium dialkoxides, such as magnesium bis (2-ethylhexoxide), can be prepared by reacting an alkyl magnesium compound (MgRR '), such as Butyl Ethyl Magnesium (BEM), with an alcohol (R' OH), such as 2-ethylhexanol, represented by the formula:
in the case of BEM, RH and R' H are respectively butane and ethane. The reaction was carried out at room temperature and the reactants formed a solution.
In embodiments of the present invention, any alcohol that produces the desired metal dialkoxide may be used. Although it is contemplated that almost any alcohol can be used, including straight or branched chain alcohols, it is preferred to use a higher branched chain alcohol, such as 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. In general, the alcohol used may be any alcohol of the formula R "OH, wherein R" is an alkyl group containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably containing at least 3 carbon atoms, more preferably containing at least 4 carbon atoms, still more preferably containing at least 5 carbon atoms, and most preferably containing at least 6 carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of suitable alcohols include butanol, isobutanol, 2-ethylhexanol, and the like. The preferred alcohol is 2-ethylhexanol.
The amount of the alcohol to be added to the slurry is usually about 0.5 to 4 equivalents (equivalents relative to the total amount of the magnesium or metal compound), preferably about 1 to 3 equivalents.
Metal alkyl compounds are highly associated due to electron deficient bonding, which results in highly viscous high molecular weight forms in solution. This high viscosity can be reduced by the addition of an alkyl aluminium such as triethyl aluminium. Aluminum alkyls disrupt the association between individual metal alkyl molecules. The ratio of aluminium alkyl to metal is preferably from 0.001: 1 to 1: 1, more preferably from 0.01 to 0.1: 1, most preferably from 0.03: 1 to 0.05: 1. In addition, electron donors such as ethers, for example, diisoamyl ether (DIAE), may be used to further reduce the viscosity of the metal alkyl. The preferred range of the ratio of electron donor to metal is 0: 1 to 10: 1, more preferably 0.1: 1 to 1: 1.
The reagents used in the step of halogenating the metal alkoxide include any halogenating agent which, when used in the present invention, produces a suitable polyolefin catalyst. The halogenation step is preferably a chlorination step, and the preferred halogenating agent is a chloride.
Preferred chlorinating agents have the general formula ClAR' ″xOr ClAOR' ″xWherein A is a non-reducing oxophilic compound capable of replacing one with a chloride ionAn alkoxy group, R' ″ is alkyl, and x is the valence of A minus 1. Examples of A are titanium, silicon, aluminum, carbon, tin and germanium, with titanium and silicon being most preferred, and x being 3. Examples of R' "are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl and the like containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Chlorination effective for the present inventionAn example of an agent is ClTi (O)iPr)3And ClSi (Me)3. R "" is typically butyl.
Halogenation of the metal alkoxide is typically carried out in a hydrocarbon solvent under an inert atmosphere. Non-limiting examples of suitable solvents include toluene, heptane, hexane, octane, and the like. The preferred solvent is hexane.
The molar ratio of metal alkoxide to halogenating agent in the halogenation step is generally in the range of about 6: 1 to about 1: 3, and preferably in the range of about 3: 1 to about 1: 2. A more preferred range is from about 2: 1 to about 1: 2, and a most preferred range is about 1: 1.
The halogenation step is generally carried out at a temperature ranging from about 0 ℃ to about 100 ℃ for a reaction time ranging from about 0.5 hours to about 24 hours. The halogenation step is preferably conducted at a temperature in the range of about 20 to about 90 c and the reaction time is preferably about 1 to about 4 hours.
Once the halogenation step is conducted and the metal alkoxide is halogenated, the product "a" is subjected to one or more halogenation/titanation steps.
The halogenating/titanating agent is preferably a tetra-substituted titanium compound, all four substituents being the same and the substituent being a halide, or an alkoxy or phenoxy group containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms, e.g. TiCl4OR Ti (OR "")4. The halogenation/titanation agent is preferably a chlorination/titanation agent.
The preferred chlorinating/titanating agents may be a single compound or a mixture of compounds. The process of the present invention provides an activated catalyst after the first chlorination/titanation step; however, it is preferred that at least two chlorination/titanation steps each use a different compound or combination of compounds and that a stronger chlorinating/titanating agent be used with each successive chlorination/titanation step.
The first chlorinating/titanating agent is preferably a weak titanating agent and a blend of titanium halide and organic titanate is preferred. The first chlorinating/titanating agent is more preferably TiCl4And Ti (OBu)4Of a blend of (1), TiCl4/Ti(OBu)4From about 0.5: 1 to about 6: 1, and most preferably from about 2: 1 to about 3: 1. It is believed that the blend of titanium halide and organotitanate reacts to form titanium alkoxide halide, Ti (OR)aXbWhere OR and X are alkoxy and halide, respectively, a + b is the valence of titanium, typically 4, and both a and b may be fractional, for example a ═ 2.5, b ═ 1.5.
Alternatively, the first chlorinating/titanating agent may be a single compound. An example of the first chlorinating/titanating agent as a single compound is Ti (OC)2H5)3Cl、Ti(OC2H5)3Cl、Ti(OC3H7)2Cl2、Ti(OC3H7)3Cl、Ti(OC4H9)Cl3、Ti(OC6H13)2Cl2、Ti(OC2H5)2Br2And Ti (OC)12H5)Cl3
The first halogenation/titanation step is generally carried out in the following manner: the halogenated product "a" is first slurried in a hydrocarbon solvent. Non-limiting examples of suitable hydrocarbon solvents include heptane, hexane, toluene, octane, and the like. The product "a" is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents.
After addition of the halogenation/titanation agent to the soluble product "A" at room temperature, the solid product "B" precipitates out.
The amount of halogenation/titanation agent used must be sufficient to precipitate the solid product from solution. Generally, the halogenating/titanating agent is used in an amount, based on the titanium to metal ratio, generally in the range of from about 0.5 to about 5, preferably in the range of from about 1 to about 4, and most preferably in the range of from about 1.5 to about 2.5.
The solid product "B" precipitated in the first titanation step is then recovered by any suitable recovery technique and washed with a hydrocarbon solvent.
Compounds suitable for use as the second halogenating/titanating agent include those suitable for use as the first halogenating/titanating agent, except that the second halogenating/titanating agentStronger agents are preferred. The stronger second halogenating/titanating agent is preferably a titanium halide, more preferably titanium tetrachloride [ TiCl ]4]。
The second halogenation/titanation step is generally carried out in the following manner: the solid product "B" recovered from the first titanation step is slurried in a hydrocarbon solvent. The listed hydrocarbon solvents suitable for the first halogenation/titanation step are all usable. The slurry is then heated slightly to a temperature in the range of about 50-90 c and titanium tetrachloride is added.
Typically, the second halogenating/titanating agent comprises titanium tetrachloride and the ratio of titanium to magnesium contained in the second halogenating/titanating step is from about 0.1 to about 5. The ratio of titanium to magnesium contained in the second halogenation/titanation step is preferably about 2.0.
The amount of titanium tetrachloride may also be expressed in terms of equivalents, which herein are the amount of titanium relative to magnesium or metal compound. The amount of titanium used in the second halogenation/titanation step is generally from about 0.1 to about 5.0 equivalents, preferably from about 0.25 to about 4 equivalents, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 3 equivalents, and most preferably from about 0.75 to about 2.0 equivalents. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the amount of titanium tetrachloride used in the second halogenation/titanation step is about 1.0 equivalent.
By increasing the amount of halogenation/titanation agent used in the second halogenation/titanation step, the molecular weight distribution of the polyolefin produced can be broadened. That is, the molecular weight distribution of the polyolefin produced by the catalyst widens as the amount of carbon tetrachloride is increased.
The catalyst component "C" prepared by the above process can be combined with an organoaluminum cocatalyst component ("preactivator") to form a preactivated catalyst system suitable for olefin polymerization. In general, the cocatalyst used with the transition metal containing the catalyst component "C" is an organometallic compound of a metal of groups Ia, IIa, IIIa, such as aluminum alkyl, aluminum alkyl hydride (aluminum alkyl hydrides), lithium aluminum alkyl, zinc alkyl, magnesium alkyl, etc.
The preactivating agent is preferably an organoaluminum compound. The organoaluminum preactivating agent is preferably of the formula AlR ^3Wherein R is an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a halide. More preferably, the organoaluminum preactivating agent is trialkylAluminum alkyls such as Trimethylaluminum (TMA), Triethylaluminum (TEAL) and triisobutylaluminum (TiBAl). The most preferred preactivating agent is TEAl. The ratio of Al to titanium is from 0.1: 1 to 2: 1, preferably from 0.25: 1 to 1.2: 1.
Alternatively, the electron donor may be added with the halogenating agent, the weak first halogenating/titanating agent, or the stronger second halogenating/titanating agent. Most preferred is the use of an electron donor in the second halogenation/titanation step.
The electron donors useful for the preparation of polyolefins are well known and any suitable electron donor that provides a suitable catalyst may be used in the present invention.
The electron donor, also known as a Lewis base, is an organic compound of oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur that provides an electron pair to the catalyst.

The carrier is preferably a magnesium compound. Examples of magnesium compounds used to provide a support for the catalyst component are magnesium halides, dialkoxymagnesiums, alkoxymagnesium halides and magnesium carboxylates. The preferred magnesium compound is magnesium chloride (MgCl)2)。
Alternatively, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst may be prepolymerized. The prepolymerization is carried out by contacting the catalyst with a small amount of the monomer after the catalyst has been contacted with the cocatalyst. A description of the prepolymerization process can be found in U.S. Pat. nos. 5,106,804; 5,135,158, respectively; and 5,594,071, incorporated herein by reference.
For example, the catalysts of the present invention are useful for catalyzing the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, butenes, pentenes, hexenes, 4-methylpentenes and other α -olefins having at least 2 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof.

In addition, the catalysts prepared according to the invention provide polymers with excellent fluff morphology. Thus, the catalyst of the present invention provides large polymer particles having a uniform particle size distribution, wherein small, extremely fine particles (less than about 125 microns) are present only in low concentrations. The catalyst of the present invention comprises a large powder which is easily converted, has a high powder bulk density, and is suitable for polymerization manufacturing processes.

The polymerization conditions (e.g., temperature and pressure) depend on the type of apparatus used in the polymerization process and the type of polymerization process used, and are well known in the art. The temperature range is typically about 50-100 deg.C and the pressure range is typically about 10-800 lb/in2

For the polymerization process, it is preferable to include an internal electron donor and an external electron donor in the catalyst synthesis, or a stereoregular Selectivity Control Agent (SCA), so as to activate the catalyst at the polymerization reaction. The internal electron donor can be used in the catalyst formation reaction in the chlorination or chlorination/titanation step. Compounds suitable as internal electron donors for the preparation of conventional supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst components include ethers, diethers, ketones, lactones, N, P and/or S atom containing electron donors and specific classes of esters. Particularly suitable are phthalic acid esters, such as diisobutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, diphenyl phthalate and benzylbutyl phthalate; malonic esters such as diisobutyl malonate and diethyl malonate; alkyl and aryl neopentanoates; alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl maleates; alkyl and aryl carbonates, such as diisobutyl carbonate, ethylphenyl carbonate and diphenyl carbonate; succinic acid esters such as monoethyl succinate and diethyl succinate.

Examples
The invention generally described above, the following examples are intended only to illustrate certain embodiments of the invention, and to demonstrate the practice and advantages of such embodiments. It is to be understood that these examples are given by way of illustration and are not intended to limit the specification or the appended claims in any way.
Preparation of the catalyst
This example illustrates a morphology-controlled polyethylene catalyst that facilitates fine tuning of the intrinsic Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD) of the polymer produced from the catalyst. By adjusting the molecular weight distribution, a single catalyst system can be used to produce various grades of polymer for applications ranging from injection molding (narrow MWD) to blown film (broad MWD).
The catalyst was produced as follows:
step 1
BuEtMg/DIAE/TEAL (1: 0.6: 0.03) + 2-ethylhexanol (2.09) was used to prepare soluble intermediate A.
Step 2
From intermediate A +1.0 ClTi (OPr)3To obtain a soluble intermediate B.
Step 3
From intermediate B + Ti (OBu)4/TiCl4(2.0: 1.0) to obtain a solid precatalyst.
Step 4
With precatalyst + TiCl4(0.25 or 1.00) + TEAL to produce the final catalyst.
Polymerisation reaction
The reactor design for polymerizing ethylene (autoclave industry) has a capacity of 4 liters and is equipped with four mixing baffles and two counter-pitched mixing propellers. Ethylene and hydrogen were passed into the reaction vessel through a Teledyne-Hastings phase comparator (Raydit) mass flow controller while maintaining the internal reaction pressure constant with a dome equipped with a back pressure regulator. The reaction temperature was maintained by adjusting the steam and cooling water (in the reactor jacket) using a Kammer valve connected to a Barber-Coleman controller.
Hexane was used as a diluent.
Test variables:
the temperature is 80 DEG C
Reaction time 60 minutes
Pressure 125 lb/in2
Catalyst 0.2 ml slurry (about 10 mg catalyst)
Cocatalyst TEAL @0.25 mmol/l
Flow rate H2/C2@0.25
With respect to the molecular weight distribution of the polymer obtained from the catalyst under standard laboratory scale reactor conditionsThe experimental data are shown in table 1. The table shows shear response (SR5), polydispersity index (M)w/Mn) And cross modulus (cross modulus) (G)c) And (6) measuring the values. From these data, it can be seen that the polymer molecular weight distribution is very narrow.
As the data in Table 1 show, the synthesis of the catalyst was modified by adding 4 times the amount of TiCl in the second titanation step (step 4 above)4(i.e., 1.0 equivalent relative to 0.25 equivalent), the intrinsic molecular weight distribution is significantly broadened. This is shown by the higher shear response, higher polydispersity index (Mw/Mn), and lower cross-modulus of the polymer produced from the modified catalyst under standard polymerization conditions.

After improvement (76F) 1.00 1.54 20.4 13.2 7.0 8.9E5
After the above modifications, no loss of the good fluff/catalyst morphology was seen with the standard catalyst. As shown in fig. 1, the catalyst/fluff particles have a narrow particle size distribution. In addition, the modified catalyst has few particles (fines) smaller than 125 microns. Finally, the activity of the two catalysts subjected to magnesium analysis was very close (22,000 g polyethylene/g catalyst)
