【摘要】 研究了聚烯烃催化剂用载体硅胶及含钛硅胶的制备工艺,制备出符合技术要求的聚烯烃催化剂载体硅胶及含钛硅胶;考察了硅胶基茂金属催化剂负载化影响因素,形成了茂金属催化剂负载化技术,所得催化剂聚合性能及聚合物性能达到工业生产技术要求。采用溶胶—凝胶法制得载体硅胶,其物化性能达到了聚乙烯催化剂用载体的技术指标要求,对制备过程涉及的各种工艺条件进行了全面筛选与优化。结果表明,母液成核温度为70~80℃,pH值为9.0~9.5,时间为40~50min,母液中SiO2质量分数为3%~5%;在溶胶粒子增长过程中,控制后加入的SiO2与母液中SiO2的摩尔比为7~10,pH值为9.0~9.5,水玻璃加入速度为150~250ml/h(水玻璃密度为1.11g/cm3),反应温度为80~90℃;水溶胶凝胶化控制pH值为6.0~8.0,温度为60~70℃;水凝胶稳定化的老化时间为5~6h,pH值约为9.0;采用喷雾干燥方式对硅胶进行干燥,干燥前SiO2含水滤饼的匀化条件为:搅拌转速600r/min,匀化时间40~50min,浆料固含量14%~16%;喷雾干燥机转盘转速12000r/min,干燥机入口温度300~320℃,出口温度90~130℃。采用溶胶—凝胶法制得钛质量分数为0.1%~0.3%的含钛硅胶。对钛源与硅源的水解速率等关键工艺条件进行调控。结果表明,采用无机钛源Ti(SO42及有机钛源Ti(OC4H94均可制得合格含钛硅胶,在反应体系中加入一定量的H2O2,使钛源水解时产生的大量Ti(OH)4迅速与其络合并形成动态平衡,以保证钛源和硅源的水解速度相匹配,从而使原料钛得以全部反应进入硅胶骨架;H2O2的用量控制在H2O2/钛摩尔比大于5,原料中钛的质量分数以小于0.3%为宜。这是因为原料中加入钛越少,进入硅胶骨架的效果越好的缘故,反应温度为30~40℃。采用实验制得的载体硅胶和含钛硅胶,对茂金属催化剂进行负载研究。结果显示,在催化剂负载过程中,MAO二段加入的效果优于一次性加入,催化剂干燥前须过滤与洗涤;催化剂负载的最佳参数为:MAO/硅胶(ml/g)10:1,Al质量分数15%~17%,锆质量分数0.3%~0.45%;制得的茂金属负载型催化剂的活性大于6200gPE/g.cat;所得聚乙烯产品的粒径分布、分子量及其分布、熔点均达到现有工业生产技术要求;自制硅胶用于Unipol气相聚乙烯工艺催化剂的负载化及聚合研究,各项性能达到现有工业装置的生产技术要求;含钛硅胶用作茂金属催化剂的载体时,发现有部分碎裂,催化剂活性较低,聚合产物形态也较自制不含钛硅胶的差,含钛硅胶应用于聚烯烃的负载化有待进一步研究。

【Abstract】 Process for preparing silica and titanium-containing silica was studied and the support silicas suitable for olefin polymerization catalyst were obtained. The metallocene catalyst was supported on as-prepared silicas and the influencing factor was investigated. Both properties of resultant supported catalyst and polymers could meet the need of industrial technologies.Silicas with desired physico-chemical properties for ethylene polymerization catalysts were prepared via sol-gel process, all the operating conditions in the process were selected and optimized. The results showed that temperature for nucleation of mother liquor was 70~80℃,pH value was 9.0~9.5, time was 40~50min, SiO2 mass concentration in mother liquor was 3%~5%;In the process of sol particlegrowth, the mole ratio of SiO2 added subsequently to SiO2 remained in mother liquor was controlled at 7~10, pH at 9.0~9.5, feed flow of water glass at 150~250ml/h(d water glass was 1.11g/cm3), temperature at 80~90℃; hydrosol gelfication was controlled at pH 6.0~8.0,temperature 60~70℃; aging time for hydrogel stabilization was 5~6h, pH value was 9.0; the silica was dried by spray drying, the homogenization conditions for aqueous silica filter cake before drying were: the stirring speed 600r/min, time 40~50 min, solid mass fraction in slurry 14%~16%; the rotating speed of spray dryer was kept at 12000r/min, the temperature at inlet and outlet at 300~320℃and 90~130℃, respectively.Titanium-containing silica with Ti mass fraction of 0.1%~0.3% was prepared via sol-gel process and the hydrolysis rates of Ti and Si sources were controlled .The results indicated that either inorganic Ti(SO42 or organic Ti(OC4H94 was suitable for producing qualified titanium-containing silica. In the reaction system, predetermined amount of H2O2 was added to complex quickly with a great deal of Ti(OH)4 formed during Ti source hydrolysis to establish a dynamic equilibrium with H2O2 ,thus ensuring the match between hydrolysis rates of Ti and Si sources and perfect incorporation of Ti from raw material into framework. A mole ratio of H2O2/Ti above 5 was sufficient to realize this object. Low Ti contents in raw material (should below mass ratio of 3%) and reaction temperature between 30~40℃were better for incorporation of Ti into the framework.The metallocene catalyst was supported on as-prepared silicas. The results indicated that in the supporting process, the addition of methylaluminoxane (MAO) in two-step was better than in one-step. The catalyst should be filtered and washed before drying. Optimized parameters were MAO/silica(ml/g) of 10:1, Al loading mass fraction of 15%~17%, Zr loading mass fraction of 0.13%~0.45%. For ethylene polymerization with the as-supported metallocene catalyst, the polymerization activities were greater than 6200gPE/g.cat, polyethylene (PE) particle size distribution , molecular weight and its distribution ,and melting temperature all met the requirements from existing industrial technology. The as-prepared silica was successfully applied to Unipol gas PE process as well. In addition, titanium-containing silica used as support for metallocene catalysts led to partial breaking and exhibited lower ethylene polymerization activities and more inferior PE morphology compared with that supported by self-made titanium-free silica. The problems remaining need to be solved.
