The properties of the catalyst such as particle size distribution, catalytic activity, hydrogen responsibility and copolymerization performance were investigated and compared with commercial catalyst (imported catalyst). Copolymerization of ethylene and 1-butylene using the catalyst was stud-ied in a pilot plant. The composition, structure and property of the copolymer were characterized by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) and gel permeation chromatography-Infrared (GPC-IR), and compared with those of the copolymer obtained from a commercial catalyst. In comparison with the commercial catalyst, the novel cata-lyst had a higher activity (up to 34.6 kg·g-1) and a better particle size distribution (PSD), and produced polymers having higher bulk density (up to 0.37 g·cm-3) with less fine resin. Meanwhile, the novel catalyst showed a higher hydrogen responsibility and better copolymerization performance. The results indicated that the copolymer obtained from the novel catalyst has a higher branch in the high molecular weight fraction and lower branch in the low mo-lecular weight fraction.展开更多

Ethylene polymerization was carried out by immobilization of rac-ethylenebis(1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride (Et(Ind)2ZrCl2) and rac-dimethylsilylbis(1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride (Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2) preact...Ethylene polymerization was carried out by immobilization of rac-ethylenebis(1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride (Et(Ind)2ZrCl2) and rac-dimethylsilylbis(1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride (Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2) preactivated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) on calcinated silica at different temperatures. Polymerizations of ethylene were conducted at different temperatures to find the optimized polymerization temperature for maximum activity of the catalyst. The Me2Si bridge catalyst showed higher activity at the lower polymerization temperature compared to the Et bridge catalyst. The highest catalytic activities were obtained at temperatures about 50 ~C and 70 ~C for Me2Si(Ind)2ZrC1JMAO and Et(Ind)zZrCI2/MAO catalysts systems, respectively. Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy results and polymerization activity results confirmed that the best temperature for calcinating silica was about 450 ℃ for both catalysts systems. The melting points of the produced polyethylene were about 130 ℃, which could be attributed to the linear structure of HDPE.展开更多
