Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a catalyst for olefin polymerization and an olefin polymerization method using the catalyst.

The present invention relates to a catalyst for olefin polymerization and an olefin polymerization and copolymerization method using the catalyst. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for easily synthesizing a transition metal compound bound by a ligand of a diketiminate type which is a chelate ligand, The present invention relates to a novel olefin polymerization catalyst for olefin polymerization in the presence of an aluminum compound of an organometallic compound, and to a process for olefin polymerization and copolymerization using the same.

Efforts to improve the properties of the polymer produced by changing the electronic environment around the reaction active site of the transition metal compound in the olefin polymerization reaction in which the transition metal compound reacts with the olefin have been for a long time. Particularly, efforts to control the reaction environment in which a transition metal compound reacts with olefins using a metallocene compound in which a cyclopentadienyl ligand is introduced as a ligand of the transition metal compound is making considerable progress.

In the 1980s, homogeneous catalysts using metallocene compounds started to receive the spotlight because of their excellent (co) polymerization properties with alpha olefins, showing excellent properties in terms of impact strength and transparency. Particularly, by synthesizing a metallocene compound having a specific substituent group such as indenyl, cycloheptadiene, or fluorenyl, which controls the electron or stereospecific environment of the cyclopentadienyl group, stereoregularity And a metallocene catalyst capable of controlling the molecular weight of the polymer have been developed and widely used.

In recent years, attempts have been made to develop catalysts such as metallocene compounds that use bidentate or tridentate chelate compounds to produce polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions without difficulty in synthesis .

Recently, a so-called metallocene catalyst system comprising a metallocene compound of Group 4 transition metal such as titanium, zirconium, and hafnium and a promoter, methylaluminoxane, has been developed. Since the metallocene catalyst system is a homogeneous catalyst having a catalytic activity point of a single species, it is characterized in that polyethylene having a narrow molecular weight distribution and uniform composition distribution can be produced as compared with the conventional Ziegler-Natta catalyst system. For example, Cp2TiCl2, Cp2ZrCl2, Cp2ZrMeCl, Cp2ZrMe2, ethylene (IndH4) is used in European Patent Publication Nos. 320,762 and 372,632 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 63-092621, 02-84405, ) 2ZrCl2, it is known that ethylene can be polymerized with high activity by activating a metallocene compound with a promoter methylaluminoxane to produce polyethylene having a molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) in the range of 1.5 to 2.0. However, it is difficult to obtain a polymer having a high molecular weight in the catalyst system. Particularly, when applied to a solution polymerization method carried out at a high temperature of 140 ° C or higher, the polymerization activity rapidly decreases and the? -Hydrogenolysis reaction predominates and a weight average molecular weight (Mw) Are not suitable for preparing high molecular weight polymers of 100,000 or more.

However, to date, metallocene catalysts have required complicated organometallic chemical synthesis, and the use of expensive methylaluminoxane (MAO) or boron compounds as co-catalysts in the olefin polymerization has a drawback that the desire for more easily synthesized compounds continues , And the polymer produced by the metallocene catalyst has a narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn = "2" to 5), which is disadvantageous in view of the processing of the polymer.

Non-metallocene catalysts which are not geometrically constrained are known from U.S. Patent No. 6,329,478 and Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-0074722. The above patent discloses that a single active-site catalyst using at least one phosphine-imine compound as a ligand exhibits a high ethylene conversion when copolymerized with ethylene and an -olefin at high temperature solution polymerization conditions of 140 ° C or higher. However, limited phosphine compounds must be used for the synthesis of the phosphine imine ligands, and these compounds are harmful to the environment and human body, and thus they are difficult to use for the production of general-purpose olefin polymers.

As a non-metallocene catalyst other than the above-mentioned examples, the synthesis of a phenyl oxide ligand in which an alkyl group is substituted in the 2, 6-position of phenyl and an example of the use thereof in polymerization have been reported in Organometallics 1998, 17, 2152, There is a limitation in producing a copolymer of olefin and high? -Olefin at high temperature and high yield.

On the other hand, the oxidation stability of a metal compound in the production of a metal compound using a diketiminate ligand is closely related to an important factor such as the activity of the catalyst. The larger the steric hindrance of the functional group substituted with the nitrogen atom in the diketiminate ligand, The oxidation stability is usually increased. On the other hand, the larger the steric hindrance of the ligand itself is, the more difficult it is to synthesize the ligand itself. As a result, the production time is increased and the yield is remarkably lowered under the conventional reaction conditions. On the other hand, microwave methods have been reported to overcome structural limitations due to the difficulty of such a manufacturing process. (Tetraheron letters 1997, 38, 2039., Tetrahedron letters 1999, 40, 4951)

In addition, the metallocene catalyst should be supported on a suitable support for use in a fluidized bed reactor or slurry reactor, and the individual catalyst particles carrying the metallocene should exhibit sufficient activity to avoid problems due to catalyst support residues.

One of the typical methods for preparing a supported metallocene supported catalyst that is currently being developed and used is a method in which a metallocene catalyst is supported on silica together with methylaluminoxane (see U.S. Patent No. 4,808,561, U.S. Patent No. 4,897,455, U.S. Patent No. 5,240,894) . This method is a method in which a hydroxyl group of silica is reacted with methylaluminoxane to support methylaluminoxane on the surface of silica, and the metallocene catalyst is supported on the supported methylaluminoxane. The metallocene catalyst component may be carried at the same time as methylaluminoxane, or may be carried through additional reaction after methylaluminoxane is supported. The activity of the supported catalyst is proportional to the amount of metallocene component supported and also proportional to the loading of methylaluminoxane to assist in supporting the metallocene catalyst component. Methylaluminoxane not only helps to support the metallocene catalyst but also protects the metallocene catalyst component from the catalyst poison. Therefore, the loading amount of methylaluminoxane directly affects the activity of the catalyst.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a catalyst for olefin polymerization characterized by a diketriminate metal compound produced through reaction of a diketiniminate series chelating ligand with a metal compound and an olefin polymerization method using the same, Polymers have a narrow molecular weight distribution with high activity, and polymers with long branch chains can be obtained.

The present invention relates to a catalyst for olefin polymerization through reaction of a diketiminate ligand having electronically similar structure with cyclopentadiene with a metal compound to effectively synthesize an olefin having a branch through it, In the synthesis of thymine ligands, it is possible to synthesize easily through microwave reaction and then to use a metallocene-based olefin catalyst produced through reaction with a metal compound as a main catalyst, so that it has a narrow molecular weight distribution with high activity, branch of the olefin polymerization initiator.
