Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention belongs to the field of olefin polymerization catalyst and olefin polymerization, and particularly relates to supported polyolefin catalysts for olefin homopolymerization or copolymerization, as well as preparation and applications of the catalyst. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    It has been nearly 60 years after the advent of Ziegler-Natta catalyst, during which period polyolefin catalysts such as metallocenes and non-metallocenes occurred, but the industrialization of these catalysts has many problems, such as the co-catalyst is expensive, the main catalyst is difficult to be loaded, and etc. Thus, in view of the current industrial production and market share, the traditional Z—N catalysts will continue to be for some time leading catalyst used in the field of olefin polymerization. In recent years, Z—N catalysts constantly emerge both inside and outside of China, and the catalyst stability and polymerization catalyst activity are also rising. However, the aspects of hydrogen regulation sensitivity, controlling the catalyst particle size regularity and particle size distribution are still inadequate. Currently in production, it is necessary to develop a spherical or near-spherical catalyst, whose preparation process is simple, has good hydrogen regulation sensitivity, and uniform particle size distribution. 
         [0003]    The preparation method of traditional Ziegler-Natta polyolefin catalyst is a process of dissolving a magnesium halide compound in an organic solvent to form a homogeneous solution system, then slowly dropwise adding a transition metal halide and allowing it to precipitate slowly, i.e. to load, as described in CN101891849A and CN102617760A. However, direct addition of the transition metal halide into the magnesium halide homogeneous solution causes a violent reaction process and a massive release of hydrogen chloride gas, so that the solid catalyst particles finally obtained have a deteriorated shape, and a non-uniform particle size distribution, which is likely to cause a phenomenon of catalyst sticking to walls. 
         [0004]    CN102358761A reported a method for preparing an olefin polymerization catalyst, in which a silicon halide compound is dropwise added into an organic solvent of a homogeneous magnesium halide firstly to give a support, then a transition metal halide is dropwise added into an organic solvent solution dispersed with the support to obtain a solid polyolefin catalyst component. Although the catalyst prepared by this method has an excellent particle morphology and a high catalytic activity, the resulting product polymer obtained from catalysis has a higher content of fine powders, and therefore is not favorable in industrial production. 
         [0005]    The present patent finds that, during a preparation of the catalyst, by dissolving a magnesium halide in an organic alcohol compound having carbon atom number less than 5 and in an organic alcohol compound having carbon atom number more than 5, and adding an organic alcohol ether compound, then dropwise adding a silicon halide, spherical support particles with good morphology can be obtained, and a solid polyolefin catalyst component having a uniform particle size distribution can be obtained by further dropwise adding a transition metal halide into an organic solvent solution having the support particles suspended. The polyolefin catalyst provided by the present invention has a higher titanium loading amount and activity; a good polymer particle morphology, a high bulk density, and less fine powders; suitable for a slurry polymerization process, a gas phase polymerization process or a combination of the polymerization processes. It also has a simple preparation process, low requirements for equipment, low energy consumption, and produces little environmental pollution.

The stirring was stopped, the system was left to stand still and layered, then filtered, and washed four times with hexane (30 ml each time), finally dried under vacuum at 80° C. for 2 h, to obtain a spherical powdery solid catalyst with a good fluidity and a uniform particle size distribution. 
       Example 12 
       [0033]    1 g magnesium dichloride, n-decane 20 ml, ethanol 1.5 ml, octanol 8 ml were added into a reactor fully purged with nitrogen gas, were heated to a temperature of 900° C. under stirring, and reacted at this temperature for 3 h, until the solid materials were completely dissolved to form a homogeneous solution. The temperature was reduced to below 50° C., and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether 0.02 ml was added therein to allow a reaction for 2 h. The temperature was reduced to −10° C., and 15 ml of diphenyl silicon dichloride was added dropwise. After completion of the dropwise addition, the temperature was raised to 65° C. to allow a reaction for 2 h, resulting into a milky turbid liquid. The system was cooled to a temperature below −20° C., 20 ml of titanium tetrachloride was added dropwise to allow a reaction for 1 h, and the temperature was raised to 80° C. to allow a reaction for 2 h. The stirring was stopped, the system was left to stand still and layered, then filtered, and washed twice with hexane (30 ml each time). At 0° C., n-decane 20 ml was added into the reactor, and 25 ml titanium tetrachloride was added dropwise to allow a reaction for 1 h, and then the temperature was raised to 100° C. to allow a reaction for 2 h. The stirring was stopped, the system was left to stand still and layered, then filtered, and washed twice with hexane (30 ml each time). Again, at 0° C., n-decane 20 ml was added into the reactor, and 25 ml titanium tetrachloride was added dropwise to allow a reaction for 1 h, and then the temperature was raised to 100° C. to allow a reaction for 2 h. The stirring was stopped, the system was left to stand still and layered, then filtered, and washed four times with hexane (30 ml each time), finally dried under vacuum at 100° C. for 2 h, to obtain a spherical powdery solid catalyst with a good fluidity and a uniform particle size distribution. 
       Comparative Example 1 
       [0034]    1 g magnesium dichloride, n-decane 20 ml, isooctanol 6 ml were added into a reactor fully purged with nitrogen gas, were heated to a temperature of 120° C. under stirring, and reacted at this temperature for 2 h, until the solid materials were completely dissolved to form a homogeneous solution. The system was cooled to a temperature below −10° C., 25 ml of titanium tetrachloride was added dropwise to allow a reaction for 1 h, and the temperature was raised to 100° C. to allow a reaction for 2 h. The stirring was stopped, the system was left to stand still and layered, then filtered, and washed four times with hexane (30 ml each time), finally dried, to obtain a solid catalyst product. 
       INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
       [0035]    The olefin catalyst particles of the present invention have a good shape and a uniform particle size distribution, with polymer obtained under catalysis using it having a low content of fine ingredients and a high bulk density, thus suitable for olefin slurry polymerization process, a gas phase polymerization process or a combined polymerization process. 
         [0036]    The catalyst for olefin polymerization of the present invention can be used to polymerization of olefin or copolymerization of ethylene and a comonomer, wherein said comonomer is selected from α-olefin of C3-C20, preferably propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1,3-butylene, isoprene, styrene, methyl styrene, norbornene and the like. 
       APPLICATION EMBODIMENT 1 
       [0037]    Ethylene Polymerization: A main catalyst component 20 mg, anhydro-hexane 1000 ml, AlEt 3  solution 1.17 ml (2 mmol/ml) as co-catalyst were added, in this order, into a 2 liters stainless steel autoclave fully purged with nitrogen gas. The system were heated to a temperature of 80° C., then filled with hydrogen to 0.28 MPa, and further filled with ethylene to 0.73 MPa. The reaction proceeded at constant pressure and temperature for 2 h.

       [0038]    Ethylene co-polymerization: A main catalyst component 20 mg, anhydro-hexane 1000 ml, AlEt 3  solution 1.17 ml (2 mmol/ml) were added, in this order, into a 2 liters stainless steel autoclave fully purged with nitrogen gas, then 30 ml 1-hexane was added therein. The system were heated to a temperature of 80° C., then filled with hydrogen to 0.28 MPa, and further filled with ethylene to 0.73 MPa. The reaction proceeded at constant pressure and temperature for 2 h. The results are shown in Table 1.
