DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method for producing a novel polyolefin. More specifically, the present invention significantly increases the polymer yield per solid and the polymer yield per transition metal, thereby eliminating the step of removing catalyst residues in the polymer and reducing the bulk of the resulting polymer. The present invention relates to a process for increasing the density and reducing the finely divided portion of the produced polymer to produce good particles having a large average particle size, and at the same time producing a polyolefin having a narrow molecular weight distribution.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, in this type of technical field, magnesium halide,
Many catalysts are known in which an inorganic magnesium solid such as magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide is used as a carrier and a compound of a transition metal such as titanium or vanadium is supported on the solid. However, in these known techniques, the bulk specific gravity of the polyolefin obtained is generally small, the average particle size is relatively small, and the particle size distribution is generally broad, so that there are many fine-grained powder portions. Since problems such as generation of dust and reduction in efficiency at the time of molding are caused, improvement has been strongly demanded in view of productivity and polymer handling. Further, further improvement is required in order to omit the pelletizing step, which has been increasing in recent years, and to apply the powder polymer to a processing machine as it is.

The present inventors have previously found a novel catalyst component which has improved the above-mentioned disadvantages, and have already filed various patent applications (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-11651, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-1289, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No.
0-149605, JP-A-62-32105, JP-A-6-32105
2-207306 etc.). When this catalyst component is used, a polymer having a high bulk density and a large average particle size can be obtained, but further improvement is required in order to omit the pelletizing step and to apply the powder polymer to a processing machine as it is. Was.

On the other hand, there are many fields where a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution is required among the uses of polyolefin.
For example, in the case of an injection molding grade, it is necessary to narrow the molecular weight distribution in order to improve impact strength, and in the case of a film grade, in order to improve strength, transparency, anti-blocking properties, heat sealing properties, and the like.

The present inventors have previously found a novel catalyst component aiming at the above-mentioned product characteristics, and have already filed various patent applications (JP-A-3-64306, JP-A-3-153707, JP-A-3-185004, JP-A-3-252407 and JP-A-2-179485. When this catalyst component is used,
Although the molecular weight distribution became narrower and the product characteristics could be improved, further improvements are needed.

The present invention solves these problems by providing a polymer having a higher bulk density, a narrower particle size distribution, a significantly reduced amount of fine particles of polymer, a good flowability and a narrow molecular weight distribution. As a result of intensive studies aimed at obtaining the present invention, the present invention has been achieved.

0 min, a granular material having a density of 0.9208 g / cm ³ , a bulk specific gravity of 0.45 g / cm ³ , and an average particle diameter of 600 µm was obtained. The melting point of this copolymer was 122.5 ° C., the n value was 1.50, and the molecular weight distribution was wider than that of the examples of the present invention.

[0077]

The olefin homopolymer or copolymer obtained by using the solid catalyst component and the organometallic compound of the present invention as catalysts has a remarkably high bulk specific gravity, a relatively large average particle size, and a narrow particle size distribution. Because there are few fine powder parts,
Stable operation is possible with little adhesion of the polymer to the reactor wall during polymerization, and furthermore, it is possible to prevent the generation of dust at the time of molding and to improve the efficiency at the time of molding and to perform the pelletizing process. Can also be omitted. Further, since the polymer has a narrow molecular weight distribution, particularly when applied to a film, it can exhibit many effects such as high strength, excellent transparency, and excellent antiblocking properties and heat sealing properties.
