High crystallinity polyethylene obtained in biphasic polymerization using pyridinium chloroaluminate ionic liquid
2014
A series of N-n-alkylpyridinium chloroaluminate ionic liquids [C n -py][AlCl4] (where n-alkyl = n-butyl, n-hexyl, and n-octyl) was applied as a medium of the Cp2TiCl2 catalyst, activated by AlEtCl2 or AlEt2Cl, to evaluate the influence of the studied ionic liquids on the performance of the biphasic ionic liquid/hexane ethylene polymerization and the properties of the produced polyethylene (PE). The best results were obtained using N-n-butylpyridinium chloroaluminate. The polyethylene obtained in the biphasic polymerization have the high crystallinity, which was confirmed by DSC, WAXS and PALS methods, as well as the bulk density comparable to commercial HDPE. These unique properties results…
Biphasic ethylene polymerisation using ionic liquid over a titanocene catalyst activated by an alkyl aluminium compound
2007
Abstract 1-n-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate ([BMIM]+[AlCl4]−) was applied to biphasic ionic liquid/hexane ethylene polymerisation as a medium of the Cp2TiCl2 titanocene catalyst activated by alkylaluminium compounds (MAO, AlEt2Cl, AlEt3). The best results were obtained using AlEt2Cl. The results show that catalyst recycling, higher ethylene pressure, and greater Al/Ti molar ratio along with a greater volume of the ionic liquid phase enhance catalyst activity. The polyethylene gathered from the hexane phase is characterised primarily by its high purity. Its physical properties remain polyethylene obtained over a heterogeneous metallocene catalyst. Thus, biphasic ionic liquid …
Improvement of biphasic polymerization by application of binary ionic liquid mixture
2013
Abstract The mixture of two ionic liquids, 1- n -butyl-3-methylimidazolium and 1-(2-phenylethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminates, [C 4 -mim][AlCl 4 ] and [PhC 2 -mim][AlCl 4 ], were applied as a medium to immobilize the Cp 2 TiCl 2 titanocene catalyst for biphasic ionic liquid/hexane ethylene polymerization. The system makes possible to perform the reaction at lower temperatures, below the melting temperature of the aralkyl ionic liquid. A better separation of the ionic liquid phase was observed and an easier mass transfer of the polymer product from the ionic liquid to the hexane phase was obtained. The polyethylene reveals bimodal distribution of molecular weight. It is characterized…
Comparison of imidazolium and pyridinium ionic liquids as the media for biphasic ethylene polymerization in the presence of titanocene catalyst
2009
Chloroglinianowe ciecze jonowe z kationem 1-n-oktylo-3-metylopirydyniowym [C8-β-mpy]+[AlCl4]- lub 1-n-oktylo-4-metylopirydyniowym [C8-γ-mpy]+[AlCl4]- zastosowano jako jedną z faz w dwufazowej polimeryzacji etylenu w układzie ciecz jonowa/heksan, prowadzonej wobec katalizatora tytanocenowego (Cp2TiCl2) aktywowanego AlEtCl2. Wydajności polimeryzacji i właściwości polimerów otrzymanych z udziałem wymienionych cieczy jonowych porównano z odpowiednimi wielkościami uzyskanymi wcześniej przy udziale cieczy imidazoliowej ([C8-mim]+ [AlCl4]-) (tabele 1 i 2). Stwierdzono, że wprowadzenie do układu pirydyniowych zamiast imidazoliowych cieczy jonowych skutkuje wzrostem całkowitej wydajności procesu, wi…
