Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of silica gel-supported alpha-diimine nickel olefine polymerization Preparation of catalysts method.
Background technology
Polyolefine is a class output maximum, the synthesized polymer material that is most widely used.Alkene is under the effect of catalyzer, and polymerization reaction take place generates macromolecular compound, i.e. polyolefine.Catalyzer is the core of polyolefin industry development, is the key of control polyolefin structure and performance.Traditional Ziegler-Natta catalyst is widely used in the industrial production of isotatic polypropylene, high density polyethylene(HDPE) and linear low density polyethylene, but its structural controllability and copolymerized ability are relatively poor.In order to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming, people have been developed the metallocene catalyst of a class high reactivity, high structural controllability.Metallocene catalyst is the agent of monomer reactivity centers catalyse, be widely used in the industrial production of syndiotactic polypropylene, syndiotactic polystyrene, linear low density polyethylene and long-chain branched polyethylene, but the copolymerized ability of metallocene catalyst still awaits improving, for example when metallocene catalysis ethene and styrene copolymerized poor effect, catalyzed ethylene and norbornylene copolymerization, the reactivity ratio of norbornylene is lower etc.Therefore, " luxuriant back " (post-metallocene) olefin polymerization catalysis causes people's great interest, wishes to develop the better or stronger olefin polymerization catalysis of copolymerized ability of structural controllability.Nineteen ninety-five, discovery alpha-diimine nickels such as Brookhart show advantages of high catalytic activity to ethene and alpha-olefine polymerizing, can prepare high-molecular weight controllable structure polymkeric substance, make that late transition metal catalyst obtains paying attention to.
The key of polymerization in homogeneous phase catalyzer application and development is a catalyst cupportization, makes it to be adapted to gas-phase fluidized-bed or slurry polymerization processes.But the loadization of late transition metal catalyst is difficulty relatively, is difficult for obtaining the ideal effect.It must be out-phase that the existing technical process of polyolefin industry requires catalyzer, loadization, if catalyzer without load, then the polyolefin particles form is bad, influence the product conveying, even causes the polymer lumps wall sticking phenomenon.In addition, the loadization of catalyzer can reduce the consumption of promotor greatly, increases the stability in active centre etc.Therefore, the colleague has carried out many trials both at home and abroad, mainly contains two kinds of methods, and the one, utilize the method for physical adsorption rear transition metal to be loaded on (Macromol.Chem.Phys.2003,204,1653-1659 on the inorganic carriers such as silica gel and magnesium chloride; Macromol.Chem.Phys.2001,202,3237-3247), advantage is that polyolefinic form is good, but load efficiency is lower, and activity of such catalysts can descend one more than the order of magnitude usually; The 2nd, utilize so-called " high molecular technology " late transition metal catalyst to be fixed on (Appl.Catal.A 2004,262,13-18 on the polystyrene; New J.Chem.2002,10,1485-1489), advantage is active higher, but the polyolefine form is relatively poor.
