Comparative example 3
The difference from example 1 is that the catalyst is a commercial DQ type catalyst, and the rest are the same.
The polymer powders prepared in each example and comparative example were subjected to characterization analysis, and the results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
As is clear from Table 1, the catalyst system of the present invention has a high polymerization yield, and the MFR of the polymer can be adjusted, and the molecular weight distribution is narrow (3.5 to 5.0). The method has the advantages that an antioxidant and a deactivator are not added into the mixer, the polymer is degraded in the subsequent high-temperature devolatilization process, the mass flow rate of the polymer melt is increased, the temperature rise before devolatilization is reduced, the property of the obtained polymer is not changed greatly, but the pipeline is easy to be blocked in the running process of the device, and compared with the commercial DQ type catalyst, the method has higher yield, higher isotactic index and narrower molecular weight distribution of the polymer.
The foregoing description of embodiments of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the embodiments disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the various embodiments described.
