Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing polyolefin using a novel polymerization catalyst.

Conventionally, in this type of technical field, the
A catalyst in which a transition metal compound such as a titanium compound is supported on magnesium halide is known from Publication No. 12105, and further Belgian Patent No. 742112
A catalyst made by co-pulverizing magnesium halide and titanium tetrachloride is known.

However, in the production of polyolefins, it is desirable for the catalyst activity to be as high as possible, and from this point of view, the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-12105 has a still low polymerization activity, while the method described in Belgian Patent No. 742112 has a fairly high polymerization activity. Although the cost has increased, improvements are still desired.

Furthermore, in German Patent No. 2137872, the amount of magnesium halide used is substantially reduced by co-pulverizing magnesium halide, titanium tetrachloride, alumina, etc., but the activity per solid, which is a measure of productivity, No significant increase was observed, and a catalyst with even higher activity is desired.

Further, in the production of polyolefin, it is desirable that the bulk specific gravity of the polymer produced be as high as possible from the viewpoint of productivity and slurry handling. From this point of view, the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-12105 has a low bulk specific gravity and unsatisfactory polymerization activity, while the method described in Belgian Patent No. 742112 has a high polymerization activity but does not produce a polymer. There is a drawback that the bulk specific gravity of the polymer is low, and improvement is desired.

The present invention improves the above-mentioned drawbacks, provides a method for producing a novel polymerization catalyst that can obtain a polymer with high polymerization activity and high bulk specific gravity in high yield, and allows continuous polymerization to be carried out extremely easily, as well as a method for producing the polymerization catalyst. This method relates to catalytic polymerization or copolymerization of olefins, and because the polymerization activity is extremely high, the monomer partial pressure during polymerization is low, and the bulk specific gravity of the resulting polymer is high, making it possible to improve productivity. The amount of catalyst remaining in the resulting polymer after polymerization is extremely small, so the catalyst removal step can be omitted in the polyolefin manufacturing process, simplifying the polymer treatment process.
The present invention provides a method for producing polyolefins that is overall extremely economical.

In the method of the present invention, since the bulk specific gravity of the obtained polymer is large, the amount of polymer produced per unit polymerization reactor is large.

Furthermore, the advantages of the present invention are that although the bulk specific gravity of the produced polymer is high in terms of particle size, there are few coarse particles and fine particles of 50μ or less, so continuous polymerization reaction is facilitated, and polymer processing is possible. This facilitates the handling of polymer particles, such as centrifugation and powder transportation in the process.

Another advantage of the present invention is that the polyethylene obtained using the catalyst of the present invention has a large bulk specific gravity as described above, and that the hydrogen concentration is required to obtain a polymer with a desired melt index compared to conventional methods. Therefore, the total pressure during polymerization can be made relatively small, and the effects on economy and productivity are also large.

In addition, when ethylene is polymerized using the catalyst of the present invention, an advantage is that the ethylene absorption rate decreases little with time, so that polymerization can be carried out for a long time with a small amount of catalyst.

Furthermore, the polymer obtained using the catalyst of the present invention has an extremely narrow molecular weight distribution and is characterized by extremely low by-products of low polymers, such as a small amount of hexane extraction. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a product of good quality, such as film grade, which has excellent blocking resistance.

The catalyst of the present invention has many of these characteristics,
Moreover, the present invention provides a novel catalyst system that improves the drawbacks of the prior art described above, and it must be said that it is surprising that these points can be easily achieved by using the catalyst of the present invention.

Furthermore, the catalyst activity was extremely high at 496,000 g copolymer/g Ti.

After 10 hours of continuous operation, the autoclave was opened and the interior was inspected, but the inner walls and stirrer were clean with no polymer attached at all.

In addition, the FR value of this copolymer is 7.2,
When the film was extracted in boiling hexane for 10 hours, the amount of hexane extracted was 1.1 wt%, which was an extremely small amount.

Example 11 The following gas phase polymerization was carried out using the apparatus described in Example 1. The solid powder (A) obtained in Example 1 was fed into an autoclave prepared at 60°C at a rate of 80 mg/hr and triethyl aluminum at a rate of 5 mmol/hr. Propylene was also fed into the autoclave, and the gas in the system was removed using a blower. is circulated to a total pressure of 7Kg/
Polymerization was carried out in cm ² . The polypropylene produced had a bulk specific gravity of 0.43. In addition, the catalytic activity is
It was 182000g polypropylene/gTi.

After 10 hours of continuous operation, the autoclave was opened and the interior was inspected, but the inner walls and stirrer were clean with no polymer attached at all.
