Definitions
- This invention relates to a new type of solid particulate metallocene catalyst system useful for the polymerization and/or copolymerization of olefins.
- the invention is also related to a process for conducting polymerization of olefins using the inventive solid metallocene catalyst system.
- Metallocene refers to a derivative of cyclopentadienylidene which is a metal derivative containing at least one cyclopentadienyl component which is bonded to a transition metal.
- the transition metal is selected from Groups IVB, VB, and VIB, preferably IVB and VIB. Examples include titanium, zirconium, hafnium, chromium, and vanadium.
- a number of metallocenes have been found to be useful for the polymerization of olefins. Generally, the more preferred catalysts are metallocenes ofZr, Hf, or Ti.
- fouling refers to polymer buildup on the surfaces inside the reactor.
- U.S. PatentNo. 5,498,581 discloses a new type of prepolymerized metallocene catalyst system that can be used in slurry polymerization with little if any fouling.
- the patent teaches carrying out the prepolymerization at temperatures in the range of about - 15 °C to about +110°C or more preferably about 10°C to about 30 °C.
- One aspect of the present invention is based upon the discovery that if one uses prepolymerization temperatures of less than 10°C there is a reduction in the amount of polymer fines produced when the catalyst system is employed in slurry polymerization.
- Another aspect of the present invention involves employing particulate polyethylene as a feeding aid for the prepolymerized catalyst system.
- An object of the present invention is to provide improvements to the solid metallocene catalyst systems of the type disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,409.581, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- a method for polymerizing olefins using the new improved version of such prepolymerized metallocene is provided.
- a solid particulate metallocene- containing catalyst system is produced by (a) combining an cocatalyst and at least one metallocene having at least one cyclopentadienyl-type ligand having at least one oleflnic unsaturated substituent in a liquid to form a liquid catalyst system, (b) conducting prepolymerization of at least one olefin in the presence of said liquid catalyst system to produce a prepolymerized solid catalyst, and (c) separating the resulting solid from the liquid and the components dissolved in the liquid, said solid being the solid particulate metallocene catalyst system, said invention being further characterized by at least one of the following improvements, namely, (1) conducting the prepolymerization by beginning at a temperature of less than 10°C and maintaining the prepolymerization temperature within the range of 3 °C to 5°C of the beginning temperature, or
- the resulting inventive solid particulate metallocene-containing catalyst system is employed in the polymerization of an olefin by contacting the olefin with the inventive solid particulate metallocene-containing catalyst system under suitable reaction conditions.
- the cocatalyst can be selected from any of the compounds found useful as activators for metallocenes.
- organometallic compounds of Group IA, IIA, and IIB of the Periodic Table include organometallic halide compounds, organometallic hydride compounds, and metal halides.
- organometallic halide compounds include organometallic hydride compounds, and metal halides.
- organometallic hydride compounds include triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, diethylaluminum chloride, diethylaluminum hydrides, and alkyl aluminoxanes.
- fluorophenyl boron compounds that have been found suitable as cocatalysts for metallocenes.
- triphenyl carbenium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) boronate as disclosed in U.S. Patent 5,155,080.
- liquid catalyst system refers to the combination of the cocatalyst, the metallocene, and the liquid, irrespective of whether the aluminoxane and/or the metallocene are dissolved in the liquid.
- metallocenes are considered to be applicable to the present process.
- the essential feature is that the metallocene be one wherein at least one cyclopentadienyl-type ligand has a substituent having a polymerizable oleflnic group.
- Some examples of such olefin-containing metallocenes are disclosed in U.S. Patent 5, 169,818 and published European Application No. 574,370.
- the invention is considered applicable to both bridged and unbridged metallocenes.
- the unbridged metallocenes can even include bridged ligands which contain two cyclopentadienyl-type radicals connected by a suitable bridging structure but wherein only one of the cyclopentadienyl-type radicals of that ligand is bonded to the transition metal.
- the oleflnic substituent can be on the bridge connecting the two cyclopentadienyl-type groups.
