聚丙烯接枝马来酸酐/SiO_2复合载体型钛催化剂及其聚乙烯的形态研究

扫描电子显微镜(SEM)是研究材料形态、形貌的强有力工具,并广泛用于载体催化剂的研究[1～4].在工业化的烯烃聚合催化剂中,通常需要首先进行负载化,由于无机和有机载体各自具有特殊的优点并存在一些不利因素,如何利用不同类型载体进行复配获得性能优良的复合载体,已成为烯烃聚合催化剂载体化研究的一个重要方向.本工作合成了聚丙烯接枝马来酸酐(PMA)/SiO2复合载体,负载了TiCl4作为烯烃聚合催化剂,既可以避免由纯无机物为载体而引入过多的无机灰分,又能克服仅用聚合物为载体而造成的负载率不高的缺点,同时保持了无机载体固有的刚性和聚合物载体官能团多分布性的特点.该类复合载体制备工艺简单,原料易得,成本较低.为获得复合载体化催化剂形态及其对聚合产物形态影响的信息,我们采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)跟踪催化剂和聚合物的形态,本文将报道该研究的初步结果.

有机-无机复合载体茂锆催化剂的制备及乙烯聚合

合成了组成为聚(4-乙烯基吡啶)-硅胶(SAV)的有机-无机复合载体茂锆催化剂,并用固体13C-NMR谱、元素分析(EA)、光电子能谱(XPS)等方法进行了表征.发现由SAV负载的茂锆催化剂可在相对较低的甲基铝氧烷(Al/Zr=600)用量下聚合乙烯.其活性(1.12×103kg PE/mol Zr.h)远高于SiO2负载的茂锆催化剂(0.22×103kg PE/mol Zr.h).     

三乙基铝调控的Ziegler-Natta/茂金属复合催化剂制备聚丙烯催化合金

基于具有"反应器颗粒技术(RGT)"特征的Ziegler-Natta/茂金属复合催化剂(MgCl2/TiCl4/racEt(Ind)2ZrCl2),以三乙基铝(AlEt3,TEA)和烷基铝氧烷(MAO)分别作为Ti和Zr 2种催化剂组分的助催化剂,利用TEA对茂金属Zr中心在丙烯均聚反应中的阻聚作用,以及乙烯对"失活"中心的活性复原,实现了复合催化剂中茂金属Zr中心在聚丙烯催化合金(丙烯均聚+乙烯/丙烯共聚)过程中的"可逆失活".基于这种方法,以MgCl2/TiCl4/rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2为催化剂,TEA/MAO为助催化剂,通过一步法(催化剂和助催化剂一次加入)制备了新型聚丙烯催化合金,聚丙烯基体(PP)选择性地由Ti金属中心生成,而乙丙共聚物(EPR)则有相当大的比例由茂金属Zr中心生成.与完全由Ziegler-Natta催化剂所产生的聚丙烯催化合金相比,新型合金中的EPR共聚序列结构更加无规,同时EPR保持在PP基体中均匀分散.     

复合载体及其制备方法对非晶态Ni-B合金催化剂性能的影响

采用浸渍法及溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO2-Al2O3复合载体,采用浸渍还原法制备了负载型非晶态Ni-B合金,以糠醛液相加氢制糠醇为探针反应考察了不同载体及复合载体的不同制备方法对非晶态Ni-B合金催化性能的影响.采用等离子发射光谱(ICP)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、透射电镜(TEM)、H2化学吸附法、程序升温还原(TPR)和程序升温脱附(TPD)等技术研究了负载型非晶态Ni-B合金的负载量、合金组成、热稳定性、粒子大小和形态、活性表面积、还原性能以及吸附性能等.用N2吸附法测定了催化剂及载体的比表面和孔径.研究结果表明,与单一氧化铝载体相比,复合载体负载的Ni-B合金催化活性和选择性明显提高,浸渍法制备的TiO2-Al2O3复合载体负载Ni-B合金的催化性能优于溶胶-凝胶法.主要的原因为复合载体负载的催化剂中Ni含量更高,Ni-B粒子细化导致活性表面积更大,以及催化剂的还原及吸附性能发生改变.     

MgO海/泡石复合载体负载Cu催化剂催化环己醇脱氢

采用浸渍沉淀法制备了不同比例的MgO/海泡石(Sep)复合载体负载Cu催化剂,并考察了其对环己醇脱氢反应的催化性能。采用N2气物理吸附、X射线衍射(XRD)、红外光谱(IR)、氨气程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)、程序升温还原(TPR)等测试技术对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,海泡石的引入有助于催化剂比表面积的增加,但当载体中海泡石的比例太高时,会导致催化剂酸性以及活性组分Cu状态的变化,从而降低催化剂的活性和选择性。当复合载体中海泡石质量分数为40%时,催化剂的活性最高,选择性也较好。     

核壳结构Ziegler-Natta复合催化剂的制备及其乙烯聚合

采用溶胶-凝胶法,将聚(苯乙烯-co-丙烯酸)(PSA)膜材料和氯化镁的复合物包覆在以硅胶为载体的TiCl3催化剂上,负载TiCl4后制得Ziegler-Natta复合催化剂.采用红外光谱、激光粒度仪和扫描电镜对催化剂进行了表征,结果表明该复合催化剂呈核壳结构.同时,考察了复合催化剂中膜的厚度和反应中的氢气含量对催化剂的聚合活性和聚乙烯性能的影响,实验发现,膜厚约为3μm的核壳结构复合催化剂活性良好,其具有带诱导期的平稳型动力学曲线;膜厚1.5μm的复合催化剂的活性接近于实验所用的以硅胶为载体的TiCl3催化剂,且其具有相似的衰减型动力学曲线.研究同时表明,不同的膜厚能够调节复合催化剂的氢调性能及所得聚乙烯的分子量分布.     

无机/有机复合载体负载乙酰丙酮铁/双亚胺基吡啶催化剂及其乙烯聚合

采用溶胶-凝胶法,将苯乙烯-丙烯酸共聚物(PSA)包覆于955 Davison硅胶上得到无机/有机复合微球载体,并在2,6-二[1-(2-异丙基苯基亚胺基)乙基]吡啶/Fe(acac)3均相催化剂中浸渍后得到负载型双亚胺基吡啶铁催化剂.该催化剂在生产高结晶度(72%)聚乙烯的同时,还能生产一定量的α-烯烃.考察了不同膜材料以及聚合条件(不同助催化剂,压力,温度,Al/Fe摩尔比)对聚合活性以及聚合产物性能的影响,发现温度对聚合产物的α-烯烃与聚乙烯的质量比影响最大,助催化剂类型既影响催化剂的活性,也对最终产物的性质有着很大的影响.氯化镁处理的PSA作为膜材料时,负载2,6-二[1-(2-异丙基苯基亚胺基)乙基]吡啶/Fe(acac)3所得到聚乙烯分子量较低(Mw=11.9×104),结晶度较大(72%),熔融指数MI较高(2.35 g/10min),可作为双峰聚乙烯中的低分子量部分加以利用.     

聚丙烯接枝马来酸酐/SiO_2复合载体型钛催化剂制备及表征

可用于负载烯烃聚合催化剂的材料很多,目前无机载体以SiO2和MgCl2最为普遍.但SiO2和MgCl2容易出现团聚现象,特别是由于SiO2表面羟基分布不均匀,会造成载体局部区域的催化剂浓度过大,活性中心过于集中,对烯烃共聚合时共聚单体的分布不利[1].聚合物载体由于表面的官能团分布均匀及分布密度可调,负载后的催化体系对氧、水的稳定性增加.但聚合物载体制备较为复杂,且用研磨法得到的载体颗粒形态及分布不易控制,用于高温聚合时容易破裂.由于无机和有机载体各自具有某些特殊的优点,可以进行互补克服某些不利的因素,因而怎样利用不同类型载体的复配,得到性能优良的复合载体,已成为烯烃催化剂载体化研究的一个重要方向.本文制备了聚丙烯接枝马来酸酐(PMA)/SiO2复合载体,制备了负载化TiCl4烯烃聚合催化剂,其既可以避免由纯无机物为载体而引入过多的无机灰分,又可以避免仅用聚合物为载体而造成的负载率低的缺点,同时保持了无机载体的刚性和聚合物载体官能团的多分布性.     

Metallocene/mao polymerization catalysts supported on cyclodextrin

By treating cyclodextrin(CD) with methylaluminoxane (MAO such as PMAO or MMAO) or trimethylaluminium (TMA) followed by Cp₂ZrCl₂, CD/PMAO/Cp₂ZrCl₂, CD/MMAO/Cp₂ZrCl₂ and CD/TMA/Cp₂ZrCl₂ catalysts were prepared. The catalysts were analyzed by ¹³C-CP/MAS NMR spectrometer and ICP to examine the structure of catalyst and content of Zr and Al. Ethylene polymerization was conducted with MAO or TMA as cocatalyst. Styrene polymerization was also carried out with α-CD/MMAO/Cp*TiCl₃ and α-CD/TMA/Cp*TiCl₃ catalysts. While the ordinary trialkylaluminium such as TMA as well as MAO can be used as cocatalyst for ethylene polymerization, only MAO could initiate the styrene polymerization with α-CD supported catalysts.     

Vinyl addition polymerization of norbornene using cyclopentadienylzirconium trichloride activated by isobutyl‐modified methylaluminoxane

Norbornene polymerization using the commercially available and inexpensive catalyst system, cyclopentadienylzirconium trichloride (CpZrCl₃) and isobutyl‐modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), were carried out over a wide range of polymerization temperatures and monomer concentrations. For the CpZrCl₃ catalyst system activated by aluminoxane with a 40 mol % methyl group and a 60 mol % isobutyl group (MMAO_40/60), the polymerization temperature and monomer concentration significantly affected the molecular weight (M_n) of the obtained polymer and the catalytic activity. With an increase in the polymerization temperature from 0 to 27 °C, the catalytic activity and M_n increased, but these values dramatically decreased with the increasing polymerization temperature from 27 to 70 °C, meaning that the most suitable temperature was 27 °C. The CpZrCl₃/MMAO_40/60 ([Al]/[Zr] = 1000) catalyst system with the [NB] of 2.76 mol L^?1 at 27 °C showed the highest activity of 145 kg mol_Zr^?1 h^?1 and molecular weight of 211,000 g mol^?1. The polymerization using the CpZrCl₃/MMAO_40/60 catalyst system proceeds through the vinyl addition mechanism to produce atactic polynorbornene, which was soluble in chloroform, toluene, and 1,2‐dichlorobenzene, but insoluble in methanol. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ethylene polymerization with ansa-metallocene systems rac-(Me2SiOSiMe2)[Ind]2ZrCl2-MAO and rac-(Me2SiOSiMe2)[IndH4]MtCl2-MAO; (Mt = Zr,Ti)

Ethylene was polymerized in toluene using methylalumoxane (MAO) activated rac-(Me₂SiOSiMe₂)[Ind]₂ZrCl₂ ( 1 ) and rac-(Me₂SiOSiMe₂)[IndH₄]₂MtCl₂ (Mt = Zr ( 2 ); Mt = Ti ( 3 )). All three catalyst systems polymerize ethylene with high activity. The molecular weight of polymer produced with zirconocene ( 1 ) was up to a weight-average molecular weight M̄_w = 1.1 × 10⁶ at low polymerization temperature (<20°C) under atmospheric pressure. The titanocene catalyst 3 shows lower activity and produced lower molecular weight polyethylene than zirconocenes 1 and 2. Replacement of aromatic rings in 1 by cyclohexane rings, leading to 2 , increases activity and reduces molecular weight. The catalyst systems show a dependency of the activity on temperature.     

Copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene using cyclopentadienylzirconium trichloride activated by isobutyl‐modified methylaluminoxane

The copolymerization of ethylene (E) and norbornene (NB) was investigated using the commercially available and inexpensive catalyst system, cyclopentadienylzirconium trichloride (CpZrCl₃)/isobutyl‐modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), at a moderate polymerization temperature in toluene. For the CpZrCl₃ catalyst system activated by aluminoxane with a 40 mol % methyl group and a 60 mol % isobutyl group (MMAO), the quantities of the charged NB and the polymerization temperature significantly affected the molecular weights, polydispersities, and NB contents of the obtained copolymers and the copolymerization activities in all the experiments. As the charged NB increased and thereby the NB/E molar ratio increased, the NB content in the copolymer increased and reached a maximum value of 71 mol %. The CpZrCl₃/MMAO ([Al]/[Zr] = 1000) catalyst system with the [NB] of 2.77 mol L^?1 and ethylene of 0.70 MPa at 50 °C showed the highest activity of 1690 kg mol_Zr^?1 h^?1 and molecular weight of 21,100 g mol^?1. The ¹³C NMR analysis showed that the CpZrCl₃/MMAO catalyst system produced the E‐NB random copolymer with a number of NB homosequences such as the NN dyad and NNN triad. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF HOMOPOLYMER AND COPOLYMERS OBTAINED FROM 1-OCTADECENE WITH ZIRCONOCENE CATALYSTS

Studies related to the behavior of different metallocene catalysts for the homopolymerization of 1-octadecene andits copolymerization with ethylene will be presented. The metallocenes: rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2, rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 andPh_2C(Flu)(Cp)ZrCl_2 were chosen for the homopolymerization study. They show important differences in catalytic activity athigh temperatures (≥70℃), with rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 showing the highest activity. At lower temperatures (≤30℃) thedifferences are negligible. For the copolymerization of ethylene with 1-octadecene only the catalysts rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 andrac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 were studied. The results show that their catalytic activity is just like that for the homopolymerizationof 1-octadecene, with higher activity for the metallocene with the Et-bridged catalyst. ~(13)C-NMR analysis shows that thecomposition of the copolymerization products depends on the catalytic systems. Copolymers obtained with rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 have greater comonomer incorporation. Thermal analysis shows that poly-1-octadecene synthesized withthe catalyst rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 is very dependent on the polymerization temperature. The homopolymer obtained at 70℃presents two endothermal peaks at 41℃ and 53℃, as compared with the one obtained at 30℃ which presents one wider peakwith a maximum at 67℃. For the catalyst rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 this trend is not observed. The type of metallocene and thereaction time do not significantly change the intrinsic viscosity, but the polymerization temperature changes it drastically,giving higher values at lower temperature. Viscosity measurements on the copolymers show that an increase of comonomerconcentration in the feed reduces the molecular weight of the copolymer, and it was also found that for homopolymer, themolecular weight is independent of the catalytic systems.     

A kinetic study of metallocene‐catalyzed ethylene polymerization using different aluminoxane cocatalysts

The kinetics of ethylene polymerization using homogeneous Cp₂ZrCl₂/aluminoxane catalysts in toluene has been investigated at 70 °C with an ethylene pressure of 30 psi. Four aluminoxanes were used: methylaluminoxane, modified methylaluminoxanes with a fraction of methyl groups substituted with isobutyl (MMAO‐4) or octyl (MMAO‐12) groups, and polymethylaluminoxane (PMAO‐IP). The cocatalyst‐to‐catalyst ratio, [Al]/[Zr], varied from 1000 to 10,000. The experimental results obtained using the four cocatalysts were compared and a model was proposed to fit the rate of polymerization as a function of polymerization time and [Al]/[Zr] ratio. Molecular weight distributions with polydispersities between three and four indicate the presence of more than one active site type. We proposed a model that explained these broad molecular weight distributions using an unstable active complex that is formed in the early stages of the reaction and is transformed over time to a more stable active complex via an intermediate. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Living Polymerization of Propene with Alkyltitanium-Based Catalysts

Living polymerization of propene with alkyltitanium-based catalysts is described with emphasis on the role of the activators employed. (¹ : ³-tert-Butyl(dimethylfluorenylsilyl)amido)dimethyltitanium activated by tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C₆F₅)₃) catalyzes the living polymerization at -50 °C. The use of dried methylaluminoxane (MAO) in place of B(C₆F₅)₃ raises the living polymerization temperature to 0 °C and improves the syndiospecificity. A chelating diamide dimethyltitanium activated by dried modified MAO (MMAO) catalyzes the living polymerization at 0 °C to give a statistically atactic polymer. The heterogenization of the living systems is attempted by supporting MAO, MMAO and dried MMAO on SiO₂ as solid activators.     

Direct synthesis of linear low‐density polyethylene of ethylene/1‐hexene from ethylene with a tandem catalytic system in a single reactor

Tandem catalysis offers a promising synthetic route to the production of linear low‐density polyethylene. This article reports the use of homogeneous tandem catalytic systems for the synthesis of ethylene/1‐hexene copolymers from ethylene stock as the sole monomer. The reported catalytic systems employ the tandem action between an ethylene trimerization catalyst, (η⁵‐C₅H₄CMe₂C₆H₅)TiCl₃ ( 1 )/modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), and a copolymerization metallocene catalyst, [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄)SiMe₂(^tBuN)]TiCl₂ ( 2 )/MMAO or rac‐Me₂Si(2‐MeBenz[e]Ind)₂ZrCl₂ ( 3 )/MMAO. During the reaction, 1 /MMAO in situ generates 1‐hexene with high activity and high selectivity, and simultaneously 2 /MMAO or 3 /MMAO copolymerizes ethylene with the produced 1‐hexene to generate butyl‐branched polyethylene. We have demonstrated that, by the simple manipulation of the catalyst molar ratio and polymerization conditions, a series of branched polyethylenes with melting temperatures of 60–128 °C, crystallinities of 5.4–53%, and hexene percentages of 0.3–14.2 can be efficiently produced. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Heterogeneous Copolymerization of Ethylene and α-olefins Using Aluminohydride-Zirconocene/SiO2/MAO by High-Throughput Screening

Copolymerizations of ethylene and α-olefins (1-hexene and 1-octene) using a supported catalyst derived from the activation of a zirconocene aluminohydride complex with PMAO and MMAO are reported. The supported (nBu-Cp₂ZrH₃AlH₂)/SiO₂/MAO system was evaluated by high-throughput techniques, in order to find approaches to the optimal copolymerization conditions. The polymerization reactions were carried out in a parallel polymerization reactors system (PPR) by Symyx Technologies, Inc. The screening of the activity of the supported system and the molecular weight (MW) of the polymers and copolymers obtained in the PPR, allowed us to optimize copolymerization conditions, like hydrogen (H₂) addition to control MW and molecular weight distribution (MWD), polymerization temperature, cocatalyst ratio, and solvent type. The copolymerization reactions were scaled-up in order to validate the performance of the catalytic system at higher polymerization scales, according to the results obtained in the combinatorial phase. The scaled-up copolymerizations of ethylene with 1-hexene and 1-octene, showed high activities and MW, and low comonomer incorporation (from 0.3 to 1.3 mol-%, determined by ¹³C NMR). However, the crystallinity (X_c), thermal properties (T_c and T_m) and densities of the polyethylenes obtained with the supported (nBu-Cp₂ZrH₃AlH₂)/SiO₂/MAO system, were significantly modified, approaching those of metallocene linear low-density polyethylenes (mLLDPE).     

Ethylene/Norbornene Copolymerization with iPr(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2 Catalyst: Effect of MAO Cocatalyst and 3rd Monomer

The copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene (N) was carried out with iPr(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl₂ catalyst and modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) cocatalyst. The catalytic activity was dependent on the structure of MMAO, i.e., MMAO-4 exhibited higher catalyst activity than MMAO-3A containing more i-butyl groups. The glass transition temperature (T_g) and the composition of the produced copolymer were not affected by MMAO type. With styrene derivatives as 3^rd monomer, T_g of copolymer increased while the catalytic activity decreased. With the addition of 3^rd monomer, not only the content of 3^rd monomer but also the content of N increased.
