Definitions
- the present invention is related to improved catalyst systems, which are able to produce polyethylene copolymers in a high temperature solution polymerization process.
- the catalyst systems comprise a combination of selected bisindenyl metallocene complexes, substituted at least in position 2 and 4 of both indenyls along with cocatalyst mixture comprising an aluminoxane cocatalyst and optionally additionally a boron based cocatalyst.
- Metallocene catalysts have been used to manufacture polyolefins for many years. Countless academic and patent publications describe the use of these catalysts in olefin polymerization. Metallocenes are now used industrially and polyethylenes and in particular polypropylenes are often produced using cyclopentadienyl based catalyst systems with different substitution patterns.
- WO 2007/1 16034 describes i.a. a catalyst system comprising racemic dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4-phenyl-5-methoxy-6-tert-butylinden-1 -yl)dichlorozirconium and methylalumoxane cocatalyst for producing polypropylene in a solution polymerization process at temperatures between 100°C and 120°C.
- metallocene compounds can also be used for preparing ethylene copolymers, preferably ethylene-butene copolymers, but it is said that such copolymers are obtained by using gas phase processes.
- WO 2007/122098 describes the use of the complex racemic dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4- (4-tert-butylphenyl)-1 ,5,6,7-tetrahydro-s-indacen-1-yl)dichlorozirconium in combination with an alumoxane cocatalyst for producing ethylene copolymers at 100°C.
- EP 2532687 A describes further metallocene complexes, like dimethylsilanediylbis[2-methyl- 4-(3,5-di-ie f-butylphenyl)-7-methoxy-indenyl]zirconiumdichloride, which is first pre-alkylated with an aluminium alkyl compound and then activated with borate cocatalyst.
- the catalyst system is used for preparing polypropylene at a temperature between 30°C to 70°C.
- WO 201 1/135004 complexes as described in WO 2007/1 16034, like racemic dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4-phenyl-5-methoxy-6-tert-butylinden-1 -yl)dichlorozirconium and prepared according to the emulsion/solidification method as described in WO 2003/051934 are disclosed. These complexes are activated with an alumoxane cocatalyst and used for propylene polymerization.
- WO 2012/075560 further describes a multi stage (at least two stage) solution polymerization process for preparing ethylene copolymers, wherein a phosphinimine catalyst is used with a cocatalyst comprising an alkylaluminoxane and an ionic activator, like a boron compound.
- Drawbacks arising from a low reactivity for the C4-10 alpha-olefin comonomer are e.g. increasing amounts of the alpha-olefin comonomer that are needed for introducing a certain amount of higher alpha-olefin comonomer units into the polymer and/or removal of non- reacted higher alpha-olefin from the polymer powder.
- a further important and desired property of the catalyst system used is a high productivity in order to get a maximum of polyethylene produced with as low amount of catalyst as possible.
- high-temperature solution processes for olefin polymerization require a thermally robust catalyst.
- solution processes are characterized by short residence times. Consequently, in addition to having temperature stability, the catalyst systems used in these processes must activate quickly and thoroughly. This contrasts sharply with the requirements for catalysts used in slurry and gas-phase processes, where residence times are longer and catalyst lifetime is more important.
- a catalyst that is valuable for slurry and gas-phase processes might be a poor choice for use in a high-temperature solution process, and vice-versa.
- the inventors set out to develop a new/improved catalyst system having superior polymerization behaviour than the above mentioned polymerization catalyst systems regarding to productivity, comonomer incorporation and thermal stability.
- the present inventors have now found improved catalyst systems, which are able to solve the problems disclosed above.
- the invention combines the use of special metallocene complexes with aluminoxane cocatalysts and optionally in addition a boron based cocatalyst in a high temperature solution polymerization process for producing ethylene copolymers.

- cocatalyst To form an active catalytic species it is normally necessary to employ a cocatalyst as is well known in the art.
- the present invention requires the use of an aluminoxane cocatalyst and an optionally an additional boron containing cocatalyst.
- the aluminoxane cocatalyst can be one of formula (II):
- n is usually from 6 to 20 and R has the meaning below.
- Aluminoxanes are formed on partial hydrolysis of organoaluminum compounds, for example those of the formula AIR 3 , AIR 2 Y and AI2R 3 Y 3 where R can be, for example, C1 -C10 alkyl, preferably C1 -C5 alkyl, or C3-10-cycloalkyl, C7-C12 -arylalkyl or alkylaryl and/or phenyl or naphthyl, and where Y can be hydrogen, halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine, or C1 -C10 alkoxy, preferably methoxy or ethoxy.
- the resulting oxygen-containing aluminoxanes are not in general pure compounds but mixtures of oligomers of the formula (I).
- the preferred aluminoxane in the process according to the invention is methylaluminoxane (MAO). Since the aluminoxanes used according to the invention as cocatalysts are not, owing to their mode of preparation, pure compounds, the molarity of aluminoxane solutions hereinafter is based on their aluminium content. It has been surprisingly found however, that in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, where catalysts are not supported on any external carrier or supported as described above, that in specific cases higher activities can be achieved if a boron based cocatalyst is also employed as a cocatalyst.
- Preferred aluminium alkyi compounds are triethylaluminium, tri-isobutylaluminium, tri- isohexylaluminium, tri-n-octylaluminium and tri-isooctylaluminium.
- the present invention includes preferably the use of boron cocatalysts together with aluminoxanes rather than the combination of these simple aluminium alkyls and boron cocatalysts.
- Boron based cocatalysts of interest include boron compounds containing a borate 3 + ion, i.e. borate compounds. These compounds generally contain an anion of formula:
- Z is an optionally substituted phenyl derivative, said substituent being a halo-Ci -6 -alkyl or halo group.
- Preferred options are fluoro or trifluoromethyl.
- the phenyl group is perfluorinated.
- Such ionic cocatalysts preferably contain a non-coordinating anion such as tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate.
- Suitable counterions are protonated amine or aniline derivatives or phosphonium ions. These may have the general formula (IV) or (V): NQ 4 + (IV) or PQ 4 + (V) where Q is independently H, Ci -6 -alkyl, C 3- 8 cycloakyl, phenylCi -6 -alkylene- or optionally substituted Ph. Optional substituents may be C1 -6-alkyl, halo or nitro. There may be one or more than one such substituent. Preferred substituted Ph groups include therefore para- substituted phenyl, preferably tolyl or dimethylphenyl.
- Preferred phenyl-Ci -6 -alkyl- groups include benzyl.
