Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for coating reactors for the high-pressure polymerization of 1-olefins. Furthermore, this invention relates to reactors and high-pressure reactor systems for the polymerization or copolymerization of 1-olefins, in particular ethylene, containing the reactors coated according to the invention, and to a process for producing ethylene homo- and copolymers in the reactors according to the invention.
  • High-pressure ethylene is a large-scale industrial process. In this process, pressures above 500 bar and temperatures of 150 ° C and higher are used. The process is generally carried out in high-pressure autoclaves or in tubular reactors. High-pressure autoclaves are known in so-called compact or elongated embodiments. The well-known tubular reactors (Ulimann's Encyclopedia of Technical Chemistry, Volume 19, p. 169 and p. 173 ff (1980), Verlag Chemie Weinheim, Deerfield Beach, Basel) are characterized by simple handling and low maintenance and are different from stirred autoclaves advantageous. The sales achievable in the above mentioned devices are limited.
  • the limitation is the polymerization temperature and the polymerization pressure, which have a specific upper limit depending on the product type. For low-density LDPE waxes and LDPE polymers, this upper limit is approx. 330 ° C; Above this, spontaneous decomposition of ethylene can occur. Below a temperature of 150 ° C there can be problems with heat dissipation. Furthermore, the pressure loss that occurs is limiting; this pressure loss increases with falling temperature.
  • a cooling medium generally water
  • the temperature of the cooling medium is very important. At cooling medium temperatures below 150 ° C, a laminar layer of polyethylene can form, which acts as an insulator and can drastically reduce heat dissipation. If the temperature of the cooling medium is too high selected, the temperature difference between the reaction medium and the cooling medium is too small, which also leads to unsatisfactory heat transfer numbers (see, for example, E. Fitzer, W. Fritz, Chemische Christstechnik, 2nd edition, page 152 ff., 5 Springer Verlag Heidelberg, 1982) .
  • 25 reactors are usually of high molecular weight, which can be seen macroscopically in the formation of so-called specks.
  • Material containing specks has less good mechanical properties, however, since it forms predetermined cracks in the material at which material failure occurs, and is also disadvantageous in terms of the visual impression.
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • a method for coating a reactor has now been found, characterized in that a metal layer or a metal-polymer dispersion layer is electrolessly deposited on the inside of the reactor of a reactor for the high-pressure polymerization of ethylene by the surfaces being coated with a metal -electro- lyt solution contacted, which in addition to the metal electrolyte contains a reducing agent and optionally a halogenated polymer to be separated in dispersed form.
  • reactors coated according to the invention for the high-pressure polymerization of ethylene were found.
  • the reactors according to the invention were used for the high-pressure polymerization of ethylene and a process for the high-pressure polymerization of ethylene was found.
  • reactors coated with an anti-adhesive metal coating or metal-polymer dispersion layer enable a significantly improved conversion compared to non-coated reactors.
  • This inventive solution to the problem is based on a method for electroless chemical deposition of metal layers or metal-polymer dispersion phases, which is known per se (W. Riedel: Functional Nickel Plating, Verlag Eugen Leize, Saulgau, 1989, pages 231 to 236, ISBN 3 -750480-044-x).
  • the deposition of the metal layer or the metal-polymer dispersion phases serves to coat the inner walls of the high-pressure reactor known per se.
  • the metal layer to be deposited by the method according to the invention comprises an alloy or alloy-like mixed phase composed of a metal and at least one further element.
  • the metal-polymer dispersion phases according to the invention additionally comprise a polymer, in the context of the invention a halogenated polymer, which is present in the metal layer is dispersed.
  • the metal alloy is preferably a metal-boron alloy or a metal-phosphorus alloy with a boron or phosphorus content of 0.5 to 15% by weight.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the coatings according to the invention is a so-called “chemical nickel system”, that is to say phosphorus-containing nickel alloys with a phosphorus content of 0.5 to 15% by weight; particularly preferred are high phosphorus-containing nickel alloys with 5 to 12% by weight.
  • chemical or autocatalytic deposition of metal phosphorus or metal boron does not provide the electrons required for this through an external power source, but rather through chemical conversion in the electrolyte itself (oxidation of a reducing agent).
  • the coating is carried out, for example, by immersing the workpiece in a metal electrolyte solution which has been mixed beforehand with a stabilized polymer dispersion.
  • metal electrolyte solutions are usually used as metal electrolyte solutions, to which the following components are added in addition to the electrolyte: a reducing agent such as a hypophosphite or boranate (for example NaBH 4 ), a buffer mixture for adjusting the pH Wert, an alkali metal fluoride such as NaF, KF or LiF, carboxylic acids and a deposition moderator such as Pb 2+ .

  • Spherical particles are preferably used because the use of spherical particles leads to very homogeneous composite layers. The advantage of using spherical particles is faster layer growth and better, in particular longer, thermal stability of the baths, both of which offer economic advantages. This can be seen particularly clearly in comparison to systems using irregular polymer particles which are obtained by grinding the corresponding polymer.
  • the dispersions used can be a nonionic detergent (for example polyglycols, alkylphenol ethoxylate or, if appropriate, mixtures of the substances mentioned, 80 to 120 g of neutral detergent per liter) or an ionic detergent (for example alkyl and haloalkylsulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, Alkylphenol ether sulfates, tetraalkylammonium salts or optionally mixtures of the substances mentioned, 15 to 60 g of ionic detergent per liter) to stabilize the dispersion.

  • Coating is carried out at a slightly elevated temperature which, however, must not be so high that the dispersion is destabilized. Temperatures of 40 to 95 ° C have proven to be suitable. Temperatures of 80 to 91 ° C. are preferred and 88 ° C. is particularly preferred.
  • Deposition rates of 1 to 15 ⁇ m / h have proven to be useful.
  • the deposition speed can be influenced as follows by the composition of the immersion baths:
  • the deposition rate is increased by higher temperatures, there being a maximum temperature which is limited, for example, by the stability of the optionally added polymer dispersion.
  • the separation speed is reduced by lower temperatures.
  • the deposition rate is increased by higher electrolyte concentrations and reduced by lower ones; where concentrations of 1 g / 1 to 20 g / 1 Ni 2+ are useful, concentrations of 4 g / 1 to 10 g / 1 are preferred; for Cu 2+ 1 g / 1 to 50 g / 1 are advisable.
  • the deposition rate can also be increased by higher concentrations of reducing agent;
  • the rate of separation can be increased by increasing the pH. It is preferred to set a pH between 3 and 6, particularly preferably between 4 and 5.5.
  • activators such as alkali fluorides, for example NaF or KF, increases the rate of separation.
  • the polymer content of the dispersion coating is mainly influenced by the amount of polymer dispersion added and the choice of detergents.
  • the concentration of the polymer plays the greater role here; high polymer concentrations of
  • Immersion baths lead to a disproportionately high proportion of polymer in the metal-phosphorus-polymer dispersion layer or metal-boron-polymer dispersion layer.
  • the surfaces treated according to the invention enable good heat transfer, although the coatings can have a not inconsiderable thickness of 1 to 100 ⁇ m. 3 to 20 ⁇ m, in particular 5 to 16 ⁇ m, are preferred.
