- the process is typically carried out under conditions that substantially exclude oxygen, water, and other materials that act as catalyst poisons. Also, the process can be carried out in the presence of additives to control selectivity, enhance activity and reduce the amount of polymer formed.
- Suitable additives include, but are not limited to, hydrogen or a halide source such as GeCl 4 .
- Exemplary halides include, but are not limited to fluoride, chloride, bromide, and/or iodide.
- the processes of the present invention can be performed under a range of conditions that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art: as a homogeneous liquid phase reaction in the presence or absence of an inert hydrocarbon diluent such as toluene or heptanes; as a two-phase liquid/liquid reaction; as a slurry process where the catalyst is in a form that displays little or no solubility; as a bulk process in which essentially neat reactant and/or product olefins serve as the dominant medium; as a gas- phase process in which at least a portion of the reactant or product olefin(s) are transported to or from a supported form of the catalyst via the gaseous state.
- Evaporative cooling from one or more monomers or inert volatile liquids is but one method that can be employed to effect the removal of heat from the reaction.
- the processes may be performed in the known types of gas-phase reactors, such as circulating bed, vertically or horizontally stirred-bed, fixed-bed, or fluidised-bed reactors, liquid-phase reactors, such as plug-flow, continuously stirred tank, or loop reactors, or combinations thereof.
- gas-phase reactors such as circulating bed, vertically or horizontally stirred-bed, fixed-bed, or fluidised-bed reactors

- a wide range of methods for effecting product, reactant, and catalyst separation and/or purification are known to those skilled in the art and may be employed: distillation, filtration, liquid-liquid separation, slurry settling, extraction, etc.
- One or more of these methods may be performed separately from the tetramerisation reaction or it may be advantageous to integrate at least some with a trimerisation or tetramerisation reaction; a non-limiting example of this would be a process employing catalytic (or reactive) distillation. Also advantageous may be a process which includes more than one reactor, a catalyst kill system between reactors or after the final reactor, or an integrated reactor/separator/purifier. While all catalyst components, reactants, inerts, and products could be employed in the present invention on a once- through basis, it is often economically advantageous to recycle one or more of these materials; in the case of the catalyst system, this might require reconstituting one or more of the catalysts components to achieve the active catalyst system.
- a particular advantage of the catalyst systems of the present invention is their stability, increased productivity and catalyst lifetimes compared to prior art catalysts without the donor groups of the catalysts of the present invention.
- a further advantage of the catalyst systems of the present invention is their ability to be recycled.
- Another embodiment of the present invention encompasses the use of components (a) (b) and optionally (c) in conjunction with one or more types of olefin polymerisation catalyst or catalyst system (d) to trimerise/teramerize olefins and subsequently incorporate a portion of the product(s) into a higher polymer.
- Component (d) may be one or more suitable polymerisation catalyst(s) or catalyst system(s), examples of which include, but are not limited to, conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts, metallocene catalysts, monocyclopentadienyl or “constrained geometry” catalysts, heat activated supported chromium oxide catalysts (eg. "Phillips”-type catalysts), late transition metal polymerisation catalysts (eg. diimine, diphosphine and salicylaldimine nickel/palladium catalysts, iron and cobalt pyridyldiimine catalysts and the like) and other so-called “single site catalysts” (SSCs).
- Ziegler-Natta catalysts in general, consist of two main components.
- One component is an alkyl or hydride of a Group I to III metal, most commonly Al(Et) 3 or Al(iBu) 3 or Al(Et) 2 Cl but also encompassing Grignard reagents, n-butyllithium, or dialkylzinc compounds.
- the second component is a salt of a Group IV to VIII transition metal, most commonly halides of titanium or vanadium such as TiCl 4 , TiCl 3 , VCl 4 , or VOCl 3 .
- the catalyst components when mixed, usually in a hydrocarbon solvent, may form a homogeneous or heterogeneous product.
- Such catalysts may be impregnated on a support, if desired, by means known to those skilled in the art and so used in any of the major processes known for co-ordination catalysis of polyolefins such as solution, slurry, and gas-phase.
- amounts of other compounds typically electron donors
- Metallocene catalysts in general, consist of transistion metal complexes, most commonly based on Group IV metals, ligated with cyclopentadienyl(Cp)-type groups.
- a wide range of structures of this type of catalysts is known, including those with substituted, linked and/or heteroatom-containing Cp groups, Cp groups fused to other ring systems and the like. Additional activators, such as boranes or alumoxane, are often used and the catalysts may be supported, if desired.
- Monocyclopentadienyl or "constrained geometry" catalysts in general, consist of a transition metal complexes, most commonly based on Group IV metals, ligated with one cyclopentadienyl(Cp)-type group, often linked to additional donor group.
- Cp cyclopentadienyl
- a wide range of structures of this type of catalyst is known, including those with substituted, linked and/or heteroatom-containing Cp groups, Cp groups fused to other ring systems and a range of linked and non-linked additional donor groups such as amides, amines and alkoxides.
- Additional activators such as boranes or alumoxane, are often used and the catalysts may be supported, if desired.
- a typical heat activated chromium oxide (Phillips) type catalyst employs a combination of a support material to which has first been added a chromium-containing material wherein at least part of the chromium is in the hexavalent state by heating in the presence of molecular oxygen.
- the support is generally composed of about 80 to 100 wt.% silica, the remainder, if any, being selected from the group consisting of refractory metal oxides, such as aluminium, boria, magnesia, thoria, zirconia, titania and mixtures of two or more of these refractory metal oxides.
- Supports can also comprise alumina, aluminium phosphate, boron phosphate and mixtures thereof with each other or with silica.
- the chromium compound is typically added to the support as a chromium (III) compound such as the acetate or acetylacetonate in order to avoid the toxicity of chromium (VI).
- the raw catalyst is then calcined in air at a temperature between 250 and 1000°C for a period of from a few seconds to several hours. This converts at least part of the chromium to the hexavalent state. Reduction of the Cr (VI) to its active form normally occurs in the polymerization reaction, but can be done at the end of the calcination cycle with CO at about 350°C. Additional compounds, such as fluorine, aluminium and/or titanium maybe added to the raw Phillips catalyst to modify it.
- Late transition metal and single site catalysts cover a wide range of catalyst structures based on metals across the transition series (see, for example, Britovsek, G. J.P et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl 1999, 38, 429. and Ittel, S.D. et al. Chem. Rev. 2000, 100, 1169.
- Component (d) may also comprise one or more polymerisation catalysts or catalyst systems together with one or more additional oligomerisation catalysts or catalyst systems.
- Suitable oligomerisation catalysts include, but are not limited to, those that dimerise (for example, nickel phosphine dimerisation catalysts) or trimerise olefins or otherwise oligomerise olefins to, for example, a distribution of 1 -olefins govererned by a geometric series equation (for example, iron and cobalt pyridyldiimine oligomerisation catalysts).
- Component (d) may independently be supported or unsupported. Where components (a) and (b) and optionally (c) are supported, (d) may be co-supported sequentially in any order or simultaneously on the same support or may be on a separate support. For some combinations, the components (a) - (c) may be part or all of component (d). For example, if component (d) is a heat activated chromium oxide catalyst then this may be (a), a chromium source and if component (d) contains an alumoxane activator then this may also be the optional activator (c).
- the components (a), (b), (c) and (d) may be in any molar ratio, hi the context of an integrated process the ratio of (a) to (d) is seen as particularly important.
- the ratio of (a) to (d) is preferably from 10000:1 to 1:10000 and more preferably from 100:1 to 1:100.
- the precise ratio required depends on the relative reactivity of the components and also on the desired properties of the product or catalyst systems.
- a number of process options can be envisaged when using the catalysts of the present invention in an integrated process that includes a subsequent chemical transformation, i.e. with component (d) present. These options include "in series” processes in which the trimerisation and subsequent reaction are performed in separate, linked reactors, optionally with recycling of products/reagents between the reactors, and "in situ” processes in which a both reaction steps are carried out in the same reactor.
- olefins Chemical transformations involving olefins are well known to those skilled in the art: non-limiting examples of the chemical reactions that might be effected by use of a component (d) include polymerisation and co-polymerisation, oligomerisation, hydrogenation, hydroformylation, oxidation, hydration, sulfonation, epoxidation, isomerisation, amination, cyclisation, and alkylation.
- a typical reactor residence time in the polymerization reactor is less than 4 hours, preferably less than 3 hours.
- various purification, analysis and control steps for the oligomeric product could potentially be incorporated between the trimerization and subsequent reaction stages. Recycling between reactors configured in series is also possible.
- An example of such a process would be the trimerisation of ethylene in a single reactor with a catalyst comprising components (a), (b) and optionally (c) followed by polymerisation of the trimerisation product with ethylene in a separate, linked reactor to give branched polyethylene.
- Another example would be co-trimerisation of ethylene and 1-butene and subsequent polymerisation of the trimerisation product to give poly(octene).
- Another example would be the trimerisation of an ethylene-containing waste stream from a polyethylene process, followed by introduction of the product 1-hexene back into the polyethylene process as a co-monomer for the production of branched polyethylene.
- an “in situ” process is the production of branched polyethylene catalysed by components (a), (b), (d) and optionally (c), added in any order such that the active catalytic species derived from components (a), (b) and optionally (c) is/are at some point present in a reactor with component (d)
- Both the "in series and “in situ” approaches can be adaptions of current polymerisation technology for the process stages including component (d).
- AU major olefin existing polymerisation processes, including multiple reactor processes, are considered adaptable to this approach.
- One adaption is the incorporation of a trimerisation catalyst bed into a recycle loop of a gas phase polymerisation process, this could be as a side or recycle stream within the main fmidisation recycle loop and or within the degassing recovery and recycle system.
- Polymerisation conditions when component (d) is present can be, for example, solution phase, slurry phase, gas phase or bulk phase, with temperatures ranging from - 100 0 C to +300 0 C, and at pressures of atmospheric and above, particularly from 1.40 to 4100 41 barkPa. .
- Reaction conditions will typically have a significant impact upon the properties (e.g. density, melt index, yield) of the polymer being made and it is likely that the polymer requirements will dictate many of the reaction variables.
- Reaction temperature particularly in processes where it is important to operate below the sintering temperature of the polymer, will typically, and preferably, be primarily selected to optimise the polymerisation reaction conditions.
- this new trimerisation catalyst makes the 'in-situ' production of the comonomer, preferably hexene- 1 , during polymer, preferably polyethylene, production far more commercially attractive than prior art catalysts systems. This is true even at the typical reaction temperatures and pressures for the production of polyethylenes with high comonomer contents such as LLDPE, VLDPE and ULDPE (preferably between 5O 0 C and 100 0 C, depending upon the density of the polymer) and even when used in slurry and gas phase polymerisation processes (preferably total gas phase pressures between 15 and 30 bara and ethylene pressures between 10 and 70 percent of the gas phase).
- the catalyst can be used to polymerise ethylene under high pressure/high temperature process conditions wherein the polymeric material forms as a melt in supercritical ethylene.
- the polymerisation is conducted under gas phase fluidized bed or stirred bed conditions.
- polymerisation or copolymerisation can be carried out in the presence of additives to control polymer or copolymer molecular weights.
- the use of hydrogen gas as a means of controlling the average molecular weight of the polymer or copolymer applies generally to the polymerization process of the present invention.
- Slurry phase polymerisation conditions or gas phase polymerisation conditions are particularly useful for the production of high or low density grades of polyethylene, and polypropylene, hi these processes the polymerisation conditions can be batch, continuous or semi-continuous.
- one or more reactors may be used, e.g. from two to five reactors in series. Different reaction conditions, such as different temperatures or hydrogen concentrations may be employed in the different reactors.
- the trimerisation catalyst may be added to any or all of the polymerisation reactors concerned. If added to the first reactor and carried through to subsequent reactors, the trimerisation catalyst may ,or may not, be supplemented in subsequent reactors with fresh trimerisation or polymerisation catalyst, it may be deactivated in subsequent reactors through addition of reversible or irreversible poisons that partially or fully kill the trimerisation catalyst or though addition of additional polymerisation catalysts or modifiers that deactivate the trimerisation catalyst.
- the catalyst is generally supported and metered and transferred into the polymerization zone in the form of a particulate solid either as a dry powder (e.g. with an inert gas, ethylene or an olefin) or as a slurry.
- an optional activator can be fed to the polymerisation zone, for example as a solution, separately from or together with the solid catalyst.
- Components (a)- (d) can be added to any part of the polymerisation reactor either on the same support particle or as a physical mixture on different support particles, or may be added separately to the same or different parts of the reactor sequentially in any order or simultaneously.
- (a)-(d) may be unsupported and independently added to any part of the polymerisation reactor simultaneously or sequentially together or separately.
- the ratio of the primary monomer to the other (co)monomers has a significant impact on the properties of the polymer formed (eg density) and it is usually desirable to be tightly controlled. This ratio may be primarily controlled by altering the concentration or partial pressure of either the primary monomer and/or the comonomer(s).
- the primary monomer concentration will be controlled independently of the ratio to comonomers (for other reasons such as activity) and the primary monomer to comononier ratio(s) may be controlled by varying the rate of introduction of trimerisation catalyst or by altering reaction conditions which preferentially impact the trimerisation reaction over the polymerisation reaction or which impacts upon the distribution of comonomers actually formed (eg by using reversible poisons/activators).
- Fresh comonomer feed may additionally be introduced to the polymerisation reactor to control the ratio.
- This may for example be optimised by controlling compressor knock-out or interstage conditions in recycle or degassing vent recovery compressors or by using dedicated condensing exchangers or distillation apparatus.
- the rate of addition of each component may be independently controlled to allow variations in the ratio of components and the density of the polymer produced.
- Pressure, temperature, hydrogen addition, halogenated hydrocarbon addition, electron donor addition, activator/retarder addition and other suitable variables may also be varied to control the activity of each component and also allow control of the polymer produced.
- the polymerisation diluent is compatible with the polymer(s) and catalysts, and may be an alkane such as hexane, heptane, isobutane, or a mixture of hydrocarbons or paraffins.
- the polymerization zone can be, for example, an autoclave or similar reaction vessel, or a continuous liquid full loop reactor, e.g. of the type well-known in the manufacture of polyethylene by the Phillips Process.
- the polymerisation process of the present invention is preferably carried out at a temperature above 0 0 C, most preferably above 15°C.
- the polymerisation temperature is preferably maintained below the temperature at which the polymer commences to soften or sinter in the presence of the polymerisation diluent. If the temperature is allowed to go above the latter temperature, fouling of the reactor can occur. Adjustment of the polymerisation within these defined temperature ranges can provide a useful means of controlling the average molecular weight of the produced polymer.
- a further useful means of controlling the molecular weight is to conduct the polymerization in the presence of hydrogen gas which acts as chain transfer agent. Generally, the higher the concentration of hydrogen employed, the lower the average molecular weight of the produced polymer.
- liquid monomer such as propylene is used as the polymerisation medium.
- Such methods generally involve agitating (e.g. by stirring, vibrating or fluidising) a bed of catalyst, or abed of the target polymer (i.e. polymer having the same or similar physical properties to that which it is desired to make in the polymerisation process) containing a catalyst, and feeding thereto a stream of monomer (under conditions such that at least part of the monomer polymerises in contact with the catalyst in the bed.
- the bed is generally cooled by the addition of cool gas (e.g. recycled gaseous monomer) and/or volatile liquid (e.g. a volatile inert hydrocarbon, or gaseous monomer which has been condensed to form a liquid).
- the polymer produced in, and isolated from, gas phase processes forms directly a solid in the polymerisation zone and is free from, or substantially free from liquid.
- any liquid is allowed to enter the polymerisation zone of a gas phase polymerisation process the quantity of liquid in the polymerisation zone is small in relation to the quantity of polymer present.. This is in contrast to “solution phase” processes wherein the polymer is formed dissolved in a solvent, and “slurry phase” processes wherein the polymer forms as a suspension in a liquid diluent.
- the gas phase process can be operated under batch, semi-batch, or so-called “continuous” conditions. It is preferred to operate under conditions such that monomer is continuously recycled to an agitated polymerisation zone containing polymerisation catalyst, make-up monomer being provided to replace polymerised monomer, and continuously or intermittently withdrawing produced polymer from the polymerisation zone at a rate comparable to the rate of formation of the polymer, fresh catalyst being added to the polymerisation zone to replace the catalyst withdrawn from the polymerisation zone with the produced polymer.
- the process can be operated, for example, in a vertical cylindrical reactor equipped with a perforated distribution plate to support the bed and to distribute the incoming fluidising gas stream through the bed.
- the fluidising gas circulating through the bed serves to remove the heat of polymerisation from the bed and to supply monomer for polymerization in the bed.
- the fluidising gas generally comprises the monomer(s) normally together with some inert gas (e.g. nitrogen or inert hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane or hexane) and optionally with hydrogen as molecular weight modifier.
- the hot fluidising gas emerging from the top of the bed is led optionally through a velocity reduction zone (this can be a cylindrical portion of the reactor having a wider diameter) and, if desired, a cyclone and or filters to disentrain fine solid particles from the gas stream.
- the hot gas is then led to a heat exchanger to remove at least part of the heat of polymerisation.
- Catalysts are preferably fed continuously or at regular intervals to the bed.
- the bed comprises fluidisable polymer which is preferably similar to the target polymer. Polymer is produced continuously within the bed by the polymerization of the monomer(s).
- Preferably means are provided to discharge polymer from the bed continuously or at regular intervals to maintain the fluidized bed at the desired height.
- the process is generally operated at relatively low pressure, for example, at 10 to 50 bars, and at temperatures for example, between 50 and 135 0 C.
- the temperature of the bed is maintained below the sintering temperature of the fluidized polymer to avoid problems of agglomeration.
- the heat evolved by the exothermic polymerisation reaction is normally removed from the polymerisation zone (i.e. the fluidised bed) by means of the fluidising gas stream as described above.
- the hot reactor gas emerging from the top of the bed is led through one or more heat exchangers wherein the gas is cooled.
- the cooled reactor gas, together with any make-up gas, is then recycled to the base of the bed.
- the volatile liquid can condense out.
- the volatile liquid is separated from the recycle gas and reintroduced separately into the bed.
- the volatile liquid can be separated and sprayed into the bed.
- the volatile liquid is recycled to the bed with the recycle gas.
- the volatile liquid can be condensed from the fluidising gas stream emerging from the reactor and can be recycled to the bed with recycle gas, or can be separated from the recycle gas and then returned to the bed.
- component (d) can, for example, be introduced into the polymerisation reaction zone in liquid form, for example, as a solution in a substantially inert liquid diluent.
- components (a), (b), (c) and (d) may be independently added to any part of the polymerisation reactor simultaneously or sequentially together or separately.
- EP-A-0593083 discloses a process for introducing a polymerisation catalyst into a gas phase polymerization. The methods disclosed in EP-A-0593083 can be suitably employed in the polymerisation process of the present invention if desired.
- the catalyst can be contacted with water, alcohols, acetone, or other suitable catalyst deactivators a manner known to persons of skill in the art.
- the trimerisation catalyst is preferably (but optionally) added before the polymerization catalyst such that the desired primary monomer to comonomer(s) ratio is established prior to introduction of the polymerization catalyst.
- the desired comonomer composition at start-up may however be achieved through introduction of fresh comonomer feed or through judicious initiation of the trimerisation reaction before or during polymerization catalyst introduction.
- the polymerisation process of the present invention provides polymers and copolymers, especially ethylene polymers, at high productivity (based on the amount of polymer or copolymer produced per unit weight of complex employed in the catalyst system). This means that relatively very small quantities of transition metal complexes are consumed in commercial processes using the process of the present invention. It also means that when the polymerisation process of the present invention can be operated under polymer recovery conditions that do not employ a catalyst separation step, thus leaving the catalyst, or residues thereof, in the polymer (e.g. as occurs in most commercial slurry and gas phase polymerization processes), the amount of transition metal complex in the produced polymer can be very small.
- catalysts of the present invention can provide a wide variety of branched polymers differing in density and in other important physical properties.
- Chlorodiphenylphosphine (4.5 mL, 24 mmol, 2.3 equiv.) was dissolved in dry toluene (150 mL). Under an atmosphere of argon, an excess of triethylamine (5.0 mL, 36 mmol) was syringed into the reaction flask, which was stirred for 5 minutes. 2- Methoxyethylamine (0.9 mL, 10 mmol) was then syringed dropwise under argon. A precipitate immediately formed. The reaction mixture was then allowed to stir for 36 hrs at HO 0 C.

- the mixture immediately turned green upon addition.
- the ice bath was then replaced with a 20°C bath. Ethylene consumption was monitored using a mercury manometer. After the indicated reaction time, the mixture was quenched with HCl/MeOH. An aliquot of the organic fraction was separated and filtered through a plug of activated alumina to remove any chromium. This mixture was analyzed by GC and GC-MS.
