CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    The present application claims priority of Chinese patent applications CN201410180571.8, CN201410176196.X, and CN201410176117.5 filed on Apr. 29, 2014, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
       FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present disclosure relates to a magnesium halide solution, a preparing method and a use thereof. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    With the development of olefin polymerization technology, the research on catalyst that is used in polymerization reaction has made a great progress, among which the high efficiency catalyst holds an important position in polyolefin catalyst field by virtue of its good polymerization performance and mature application techniques. In particular, the production and development of polyolefin resin with new structure is drawing increasingly more attention, and thus the requirement for the overall performance of the catalyst used in olefin polymerization reaction is becoming increasingly high. On the one hand, the catalyst should adapt to the production equipment, and on the other hand, the structure of the resin produced therein can be regulated and controlled. After years of research, it is demonstrated that Mg—Ti series high efficiency catalysts can meet the requirement. 
         [0004]    At present, the Mg—Ti series high efficiency catalysts are mainly prepared through a dissolution-precipitation method. That is, a magnesium compound is dissolved in a solvent, and a corresponding catalyst can be obtained after precipitation. For example, Japanese patent 54-40293 discloses that a magnesium compound is dissolved in a titanate compound, Japanese patents 56-811 and 58-83006 disclose that a magnesium compound is dissolved in alcohol, aldehyde, amine, or carboxylic acid compounds, Japanese patent 58-19307 discloses that a magnesium compound is dissolved in an organic phosphorus compound, and Japanese patent 58-183708 discloses that a magnesium compound is dissolved in a mixed solvent of an organic epoxy compound and an organic phosphorus compound (a phosphate ester compound). 
         [0005]    The disadvantages of grinding method can be overcome to a certain extent by the aforesaid magnesium compound dissolution method, but there are still a lot of disadvantages in this method. The activity of the catalyst that is precipitated from the magnesium compound solution disclosed by Japanese patent 54-40293, Japanese patent 58-19307, and Japanese patent 58-183708 is relatively low. Besides, the activity of the catalyst drops apparently when the polymerization time is prolonged. Moreover, the bulk density of the polymer obtained therein is relatively low. 
         [0006]    As a result, there is still a need for the Mg—Ti series high efficiency catalyst with a good overall performance and a magnesium halide solution used for preparing the catalyst so as to further improve the technical effect of the olefin polymerization reaction. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0007]    It is discovered after repeated experiments that, a proper magnesium halide solution can be used for preparing an Mg—Ti series high efficiency catalyst with a good catalytic performance which can be used in olefin polymerization reaction. 
         [0008]    The present disclosure aims to provide a magnesium halide solution. The preparing condition of the magnesium halide solution is mild, and the raw material is cheap and easy to be obtained. The magnesium halide solution can be used for preparing a Mg—Ti series catalyst with a good catalytic performance in olefin polymerization reaction, such as ethylene polymerization reaction. 
         [0009]    The present disclosure provides a method for preparing the magnesium halide solution. The preparing condition is mild, and the equipment utilization rate thereof is high. The method is easy to be performed and is environment-friendly. 
         [0010]    The present disclosure further provides a use of the aforesaid magnesium halide solution. 
         [0011]    The present disclosure provides a magnesium halide solution. The magnesium halide solution comprises a magnesium halide, an oxygen-containing organic titanium compound, a hydroxyl-containing compound, and an organic solvent. The magnesium halide solution further comprises an organic heterocyclic compound. The organic solvent is a hydrocarbon and/or a halogenated hydrocarbon. The magnesium halide solution can be used for preparing a catalyst for olefin polymerization reaction. 
         [0012]    According to the present disclosure, a raw material anhydrous magnesium halide is preferably a crystalline magnesium halide, which can have α, β, or γ crystal shape. In the magnesium halide solution according to the present disclosure, the magnesium halide is in an amorphous state. That is, according to the present disclosure, the magnesium halide solution does not contain crystalline magnesium halide, which is a prominent advantage of the present disclosure. In general, magnesium halide is difficult to be absolutely dissolved in organic solvent, and at least part of crystalline magnesium halide would be contained in the organic solvent, which would not facilitate the effective utilization thereof. During preparing of catalyst, magnesium halide should be converted into an amorphous state from a crystalline state, whereby the catalyst can have a high activity. It is discovered after long periods of experiments that, the anhydrous magnesium halide in the crystalline state can be dissolved fully in some specific mixed organic solvents so as to form an amorphous magnesium halide solution, which can be used for preparing catalyst for olefin polymerization reaction. 
         [0013]    According to some embodiments, the magnesium halide solution is composed of a magnesium halide, an oxygen-containing organic titanium compound, a hydroxyl-containing compound, an organic solvent, and an organic heterocyclic compound. The organic solvent is a hydrocarbon and/or a halogenated hydrocarbon. That is, the magnesium halide solution is composed of magnesium halide and a mixed solvent consisting of four solvents, i.e., the oxygen-containing organic titanium compound, the organic heterocyclic compound, the hydroxyl-containing compound, and the organic solvent. 
         [0014]    According to the present disclosure, in addition to the aforesaid five essential ingredients, the magnesium halide solution can further contain other organic solvent. For example, the organic solvent can be selected from a group consisting of ester, ketone, and amine compounds. The use amount of these organic solvents should not affect the liquid phase of the final magnesium halide solution product. 
         [0015]    According to one preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the organic heterocyclic compound is at least one selected from a group consisting of a sulphur-containing organic heterocyclic compound, a nitrogen-containing organic heterocyclic compound, and an organic epoxy compound.

         [0017]    Preferably, the nitrogen-containing organic heterocyclic compound is at least one selected from a group consisting of a 3 to 8-membered ring nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound and a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound that is in parallel connection with a benzene ring to form a condensed ring, preferably at least one selected from a group consisting of pyrrole, thiazole, imidazole, pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, indole, quinoline, and pteridine. 
         [0018]    According to the present disclosure, the organic epoxy compound can be one selected from a group consisting of aliphatic olefin with 2 to 8 carbon atoms, diolefin, halogenated aliphatic olefin, diolefin oxide, glycidyl ether, and inner ether compound. The organic epoxy compound can be a ternary epoxy compound, 4 to 8-membered epoxy compound, a single epoxy compound or a polyepoxy compound. 
         [0019]    The organic epoxy compound is a 3 to 8-membered epoxy compound, preferably a 3-membered epoxy compound as shown in formula (I):

In this case, when downstream product is prepared with the magnesium halide solution disclosed herein, residual phosphorus would not be contained therein. Therefore, the quality of the downstream product can be improved, and environmental pollution can be avoided. The organic phosphorus compound is a commonly used raw material for preparing catalyst of olefin polymerization reaction. However, when the magnesium halide solution provided herein is used, magnesium halide can be dissolved fully in the organic solvent system without organic phosphorus compound being introduced. The magnesium halide solution can be used for preparing olefin polymerization catalyst with good catalytic performance, and the environmental pollution can be reduced. The phosphate ester compound is tributyl phosphate, tri-isobutyl phosphate, tripropyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, or trimethyl phosphate. 
         [0022]    According to the present disclosure, the magnesium halide solution is formed by dissolving the anhydrous magnesium halide into a mixed solvent that is composed of the oxygen-containing organic titanium compound, the organic heterocyclic compound, the hydroxyl-containing compound, and the organic solvent.

         [0027]    Through selecting proper solvents and a proper ratio thereamong, the crystalline anhydrous magnesium halide can be fully dissolved in the mixed organic solvent, whereby the utilization rate of magnesium halide can be improved, the using amount of solvent can be reduced, and thus the cost thereof can be saved.

       [0064]    The operational steps were the same as those in Example 14, except that epichlorohydrin was not added therein. A solid-liquid mixture could be obtained. That is, magnesium chloride could not be dissolved completely. 
       Example 22 
       [0065]    A catalyst was prepared. The temperature of the amorphous magnesium halide solution obtained in Example 6 was reduced to −20° C., and titanium tetrachloride (30 mL) was dropwise added therein slowly with a buret. The temperature of the solution was maintained at −20° C., and reaction proceeds for half an hour. The temperature thereof was then raised to 50° C., and reaction proceeded for 4 hours. At last, the temperature of the solution was raised to 90° C., and reaction proceeded for another 3 hours so as to obtain a catalyst suspension.

Then, the catalyst suspension was washed for two times with hexane, and a use amount of hexane was 50 mL for each time. The catalyst suspension was blew and dried with high-pure nitrogen at a bath temperature being 65° C. so as to obtain an off-white solid flowable powder, and an average particle size of the powder was 7.53 μm. The elemental analysis results were shown as follows: Ti, 11.25 wt %; and Mg, 18.77 wt %. 
         [0066]    The performance of the catalyst was measured. Hexane (1 L), triethylaluminum (1 mmol), and a certain amount of catalyst were added into a stainless steel stirring tank (2 L), and the temperature in the tank was raised to 80° C. Hydrogen (0.18 MPa) was added into the tank once, and the total pressure of the system was maintained at 0.73 MPa with ethylene so that polymerization reaction could proceed. After the reaction proceeded for 2 hours, the supply of ethylene stopped, and the temperature and the pressure thereof were both reduced. Polyethylene powder was weighed, and an activity of the catalyst was calculated. A bulk density (BD) of the polyethylene powder and a melt index (MI 2.16 ) thereof under a load of 2.16 Kg were measured. The results were shown in Table 1. 
       Example 23 
       [0067]    A catalyst was prepared. The operational step was the same as that in Example 22, except that the amorphous magnesium halide obtained in Example 6 was replaced by the amorphous magnesium halide obtained in Example 13. An off-white solid flowable powder could be obtained, and an average particle size of the powder was 12.18 μm. The elemental analysis results were shown as follows: Ti, 15.33 wt %; and Mg, 12.54 wt %. 
         [0068]    The performance of the catalyst could be measured according to the method disclosed in Example 22, and the results were shown in Table 1.
