Description: CATALYST SYSTEM FOR (CO)POLYMERIZATION OF OLEFINS AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF OLEFIN (CO POLYMERS USING THE C ATALYST SYSTEM Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a catalyst system for polymerization and copolymerization of olefins and process for the preparation of olefin homo- or co- polymers using the catalyst system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a metallocene catalyst system and process using the catalyst system for producing, with high yield, olefin homo- or co- polymers such as ethylene-propylene rubber(EPR) and linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE), which have high molecular weight and good physical properties, without concurrent use of expensive cocatalysts such as methyl aluminoxane(hereinafter referred to as "MAO"), boron-based cocatalyst, etc. Background Art The stereospecificity of conventional Ziegler-Natta (Z.N) catalyst was controlled by coordinate unsaturation of active compounds for polymerization existing on the surface of solid. In the metallocene catalyst system, however, polymer having atactic(C2v symmetry), syndiotactic(Cs symmetry) or isotactic(C2 symmetry) structure can be prepared simply by changing symmetry of ligands. Homogeneous olefin copolymers having high random characteristics are also obtainable by employing the metallocene catalyst. Furthermore, the catalyst shows high activity towards olefins with bulky substituents, which makes it possible to prepare long chain branched polyethylene without relying on high pressure radical polymerization method. Metallocene catalyst exhibits good polymerization activity for some polar olefins or 1 ,3-diene, a , ω -diene as well as for cycloolefins such as cyclobutene, cyclopentene, norbornene. Generally, the metallocene catalyst comprises transition metal complex represented by the general formula (I). (CpRn)(CpR ' m)MQp (I) wherein, CpRn or CpR ' m is a cyclopentadienyl, indenyl or fluorenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more alkyl, phosphine, amine, alkyl ether, or allyl ether groups; M is a transition metal from Group IVB ["CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics", 68th ed., 1987- 1988] or VB of the Periodic Table of Elements; Q is alkyl, allyl, allyl alkyl, amide, alkoxy, halogen, sulphide, phosphide; n, m and p are 0 < n < 5, 0 ≤ m < 5 and l < p < 4, respectively. The metallocene catalyst does not show catalystic activity by itself. Dr. Kaminsky et al. reported that the catalyst exhibited high activity for ethylene polymerization and could produce polymers having narrow molecular weight distribution when excess MAO was used together with. [H, Sinn, W . Kaminsky, H. J. Vollmer, R Woldt, Angew. Chem ., 92_, 296( 1980), H. Sinn, W . Kaminsky, Adv. Organomet. Chem. JJ 99(1980), and W . Kaminsky, K . Kύlper, H. H. Brintzinger, F. R . W . P. Wild, Angew, Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 24, 507( 1987)] The catalyst system, however, is very costly because expensive MAO (approximately 400US$/kg) should be added 2,000- 10,000 times more than the amount of the metallocene catalyst. And aluminum remnants in polymer products makes it difficult to analyze quantity of active compounds, reaction mechanism, etc. Thus, the catalyst system is disadvantages for industrial use. Jordan et al. reported that [Cp 2 ZrMe(THF) * BF 4 ] had ethylene polymerization activity, but it was very low [R. F. Jordan, C. S . Bajgur, R. Willett and B. Scott, J. Am . Chem . Soc, 108. 7410(1986)]. To increase its activity, it is required to form a complex wherein cationic metal center can interact with counter anion as weakly as possible, not involving molecular donation from donor such as THF. In case RB(C 0 F5)3 ~ employing fluorine as a counter anion is used, electrostatic interaction with cationic metal center can be weaken due to moderated negative charge of boron. According to Marks et al, a complex wherein a methyl group of boron was weakly bonded to zirconium was formed when CHjB(C6F5)3 _ was used as a counter anion, and this complex made high active catalyst for olefin polymerization[X-Yang, C . L. Sterm, and T. J. Marks, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Eng., 31_, 1375(1992)]. The structure has been clarified based on a hydride complex obtainable by adding hydrogen to the complex. [Cp2ZrMe] + [MeB(C 6 F 5 )3] This structure shows that zirconium interacts with ortho- or metha- fluorines of a CδFs ring. This complex is regarded as high active compound model produced by β -elimination during olefin polymerization, and also exhibits high activity for polymerization [3200kg PE/mol-Zr h atm, Mn - 1.545 x 10 5 , Mw/Mn = 2.8, 320kg PP/mol-Zr h, Mw/Mn = 1.6]. However, conventional metallocene catalyst systems described above still require excess MAO or boron based cocatalyst that the catalyst systems are not suitable for commercial use. And aluminum remnant is found in polymer products. Therefore, it is keenly needed to develop a cocatalyst substituting for MAO. The present invention is directed to solve such problems in conventional catalyst systems. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a metallocene catalyst system and process using the catalyst system for producing olefin homo- or co- polymers having a high molecular weight, with high yield, not employing MAO or boron-based cocatalyst. These characteristics of the present invention are advantageous in terms of industrial use, and it is also important considering the catalyst system as it is. 5 Brief Description of the Drawings FIG. la is UV-Vis absorption spectrum in case of using rac-ethylene bis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride catalyst, and FIG . lb is spectrum in case of adding magnesium perchlorate; and i Q FIG. 2a is DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) spectrum of ethylene-octene copolymer obtained by using a metallocene catalyst bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride, and FIG . 2b is spectrum of polymer obtained by using Ziegler-Natta catalyst. 15 Disclosure of the Invention To this end, the present invention provides a catalyst system for olefin polymerization and copolymerization comprising (A) at least one metallocene compound derived from a transition metal, (B) at least one cation activator as cocatalyst, and (C) at least one alkylating 20 agent- Further, the present invention provides a process for preparing copolymers such as ethylene- -olefin copolymers such as ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene- 1 -octene copolymer, and ethylene-styrene copolymer, ethylene-diene copolymer or 9 ethylene-cycloolefin copolymer as well as olefin homopolymers such as poly olefin, using the catalyst system.

Contacting can be carried out in a known method. Generally, it is preferable to contact the components at a temperature ranging from 0 to 100 °C , and the contacting time is preferably from about 10 minutes to 5 hours.

Temperature for polymerization ranges -40 °C - 220 ° C , preferably 10 "C ~ 200 "C , more preferably 40 ° C - 160 ° C By using the catalyst system according to the present invention, polyolefins having a narrow molecular weight distribution and composition distribution are obtainable. Employed at high temperature ( 130- 160 °C ), the catalyst system did not accompany any problems in its activity and molecular weight of products, which were usually found in conventional catalyst system. Further, by using the catalyst system of the present invention, it is possible to lower manufacturing cost of polymers to a level when Ziegler-Natta catalyst (about 6,000- 10,000won/ton PE) is used. These characteristics of the catalyst system of the present invention are advantageous for industrial use, and important considering the catalyst system itself.

Since the density of polymer to be produced is not limited by processing factors when the polymerization is carried out in a solvent or high pressure autoclave polymerization, copolymers in wide range of density (O.86-0.96g/cm 3 ) from VLDPE to HDPE can be synthesized. A more complete appreciation of the present invention will be realized by reference to the following examples.
