Synthesis and activity of zirconocene catalysts supported on silica-type sol-gel carrier for ethylene polymerization

2001

Synthesis and activity of bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride catalyst supported on unconventional silica-type material obtained in sol-gel process and activated by organoaluminium co-catalyst were studied. The effect of support modification conditions (thermal dehydration and/or modification by organoaluminium compound) and a type of co-catalyst on an activity of the catalytic system in ethylene polymerization and properties of resulting polymers were investigated and compared with results obtained earlier for vanadium catalysts supported on mentioned sol-gel carrier. The most appropriate method of the sol-gel silica-type support preparation is thermal pre-treating (200°C) followed b…

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…

(Co)polymerization behavior of supported metallocene catalysts. I. Ligand and substituent effect

2005

Ethylene polymerization and its copolymerization with 1-hexene with a set of supported metallocene catalysts were studied. As a carrier, the complex of mag- nesium chloride with tetrahydrofuran, which was previously pretreated with a triiso- butylaluminium (TIBA), was used. The investigated metallocene compound differs in the metal type (Zr or Ti), the nature of the alkyl substituent in the cyclopentadienyl ring, and the type of ligand (Cp or Ind). The effect of catalyst composition on the anchored metal content, catalyst activity, comonomer reactivity, and polymer proper- ties was investigated. The results obtained with supported catalysts were compared with those obtained with their homog…

(Co)polymerisation Behaviour of Supported Metallocene Catalysts: Carrier Effect

2006

The polymerisation and copolymerisation of ethylene with 1-hexene over metallocene catalysts L 2 ZrCl 2 / MAO (L = Cp, n-BuCp, t-BuCp, i-PrCp, Me 5 Cp) supported on different types of carriers (MgCl 2 (MeOH) 6 or silica with CH 3 surface groups obtained in the sol-gel process) were studied. It was demonstrated that both the metallocene structure and the type of inorganic support affected catalyst activity and polymer properties such as melting point, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The metallocene structure also determined comonomer incorporation, both for homogeneous and supported catalytic systems. When a catalyst is anchored on a support, it becomes less effective at …

Studies of structural composition distribution heterogeneity in ethylene/1-hexene copolymers using thermal fractionation technique (SSA): Effect of c…

2005

Investigations into the compositional heterogeneity of ethylene/1-hexene copolymers obtained with various zirconocene/MAO catalysts, either homogeneous or supported on inorganic carriers such as a complex of magnesium chloride with tetrahydrofuran or methyl alcohol, were conducted. The dependence between metallocene structure, as well as catalyst immobilization, and the compositional heterogeneity of the related products was investigated. It was found that the heterogeneity of copolymers is determined by the metallocene catalyst structure. The amount of peaks on the DSC thermograms of copolymers and their division increase with the increase of bulkiness of the ligand in the catalytic system…

Copolymerization of Ethylene with Selected Vinyl Monomers Catalyzed by Group 4 Metal and Vanadium Complexes with Multidentate Ligands: A Short Review

2021

This paper gives a short overview of homogeneous post-metallocene catalysts based on group 4 metal and vanadium complexes bearing multidentate ligands. It summarizes the catalytic behavior of those catalysts in copolymerization of ethylene with 1-olefins, with styrenic monomers and with α,ω-alkenols. The review is focused on finding correlations between the structure of a complex, its catalyst activity and comonomer incorporation ability, as well as the microstructure of the copolymer chains.

Remarkable effect of organoaluminum activator on catalytic performance of bis(phenoxy-imine) titanium complexes in ethylene polymerization

2009

Zsyntezowano i sprawdzono w polimeryzacji etylenu, po uprzedniej aktywacji zarówno MAO, jak i prostymi związkami glinoorganicznymi (Et3Al, Et2AlCl, EtAlCl2), trzy kompleksy tytanu z ligandami fenoksy-iminowymi: dichlorek bis[N-(3,5-di-tert-butylosalicylideno)anilino]tytanu(IV) (kompleks I), dichlorek bis[N-(3,5-di-tert-butylosalicylideno)-1-naftyloamino]tytanu(IV) (kompleks II) i dichlorek bis[N-(salicylideno)-1-naftyloamino]tytanu(IV) (kompleks III). Stwierdzono, że zarówno struktura ligandów, jak i rodzaj glinoorganicznego aktywatora mają wpływ na aktywność badanych kompleksów. Kompleks I, zawierający podstawnik fenylowy przy iminowym atomie azotu okazał się najaktywniejszy w połączeniu z…
