Solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization and catalyst for olefin polymerization, and method for producing olefin polymer
The present invention relates to a solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst for olefin polymerization, and a process for producing an olefin polymer. More specifically, the present invention relates to a solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization, a catalyst for olefin polymerization, and a method for producing an olefin polymer, which are suitable for gas phase polymerization and slurry polymerization processes.
The olefin polymers of the present invention include homopolymers of olefins and copolymers of olefins with other olefins.
When the activity (polymerization amount per unit catalyst) of the catalyst used for the preparation of the olefin polymer is sufficiently high, it is not necessary to remove the catalyst residue from the polymer produced after the polymerization, and thus its usefulness can be simplified. Naturally, the value is extremely high industrially.
On the other hand, it is desirable for the polymer or the like to adhere to the polymerization vessel as little as possible, since the polymer or the like adheres to the polymerization vessel, causing various problems in operation and reducing the operational efficacy. In view of operational stability and operational efficiency, it is preferable that the polymer powder has a high apparent density, a narrow particle size distribution, and excellent fluidity. In addition, since the presence or absence of the low molecular weight component in a polymer becomes a factor which controls transparency, impact resistance, and blocking property of a film, it is preferable to manufacture the olefin polymer containing a small amount of a low molecular weight component.
Recently, in the field of catalysts for olefin polymerization, the polymerization activity has been significantly improved by the combination of magnesium compounds and titanium compounds (e.g., JP-B-46-34092, JP-B-47-41676, JP-B-55-23561, JP-B-57-24361). However, the olefin polymers produced by using such catalysts were not satisfactory in that they were in particle form and blocking properties.
It has been disclosed that in the stereoregular polymerization of propylene, a highly crystalline polymer can be obtained with high activity using a catalyst obtained by treating with an oxygen-containing electron donor such as ester as an internal donor (e.g., JP-B -52-39431, 52-36786, 1-28049 and 3-43283). However, the olefin polymer obtained by carrying out the copolymerization of ethylene with an α-olefin using such a catalyst was not satisfactory in particle properties and blocking properties as described above.
1 is a development view for better understanding of the present invention. This development is a representative example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this example.
An object of the present invention is to provide a solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization having excellent particle morphology, an olefin polymerization catalyst having a high polymerization activity for the catalyst, which does not require removal of catalyst residues, and a low molecular weight having excellent particle properties using the catalyst. It is to provide a method for producing an olefin polymer containing a small amount of components.
The present inventors studied these problems with high intensity and completed the present invention.
That is, the present invention provides an olefin obtained by simultaneously contacting a titanium compound (A) and an ester compound (B) having a titanium-halogen bond with the solid catalyst component precursor (C) containing magnesium atoms, titanium atoms and hydrocarbyloxy groups. By contacting a solid catalyst component for polymerization and a mixture of a titanium compound (A) and an ester compound (B) having a titanium-halogen bond and a solid catalyst component precursor (C) containing magnesium atoms, titanium atoms and hydrocarbyloxy groups It is to provide a solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization obtained.
