Synthesis of chromium-based Ziegler-Natta catalysts and thier application in ethylene polymerization and copolymerization / Wong Jun Xuan
Four chromium-based oxo-trinuclear carboxylate complexes were prepared by reacting Cr(NO3).9H2O with acetic acid and substituted carboxylic acids to produce [Cr3O(CH3COO)6.3H2O]NO3.7H2O,[Cr3O(ClCH2COO)6.3H2O]NO3.3H2O, [Cr3O(Cl2CHCOO)6.3H2O]NO3.H2O and [Cr3O(Cl3CCOO)6.3H2O]NO3.2H2O, which alysis (T...

| description | Four chromium-based oxo-trinuclear carboxylate complexes were prepared by reacting Cr(NO3).9H2O with acetic acid and substituted carboxylic acids to produce
[Cr3O(CH3COO)6.3H2O]NO3.7H2O,[Cr3O(ClCH2COO)6.3H2O]NO3.3H2O,
[Cr3O(Cl2CHCOO)6.3H2O]NO3.H2O and [Cr3O(Cl3CCOO)6.3H2O]NO3.2H2O, which alysis (TGA).Chromium content in each complex was determined by titrimetry method and the result was in good agreement with that from TGA. Chromium(III)monochloroacetate complex[Cr3O(ClCH2COO)6.3H2O]NO3.3H2O in combination with diethylaluminium chloride formed heterogeneous catalyst system for ethylene polymerization and ethylene-propylene copolymerization. Both Al/Cr ratio and temperature influenced the catalytic activity. The maximum activity of ethylene polymerization was 1768 gPE/gCr/hr/atm, achieved by polymerizing ethylene at 29°C with Al/Cr ratio 30.8.
Effect of chloro-substituent groups on carboxylic ligand was studied by using chromium(III) dichloroacete, chromium(III) trichloroacete and chromium(III) acetate as
catalyst. Ethylene polymerization is first order with respect to ethylene during the initial stage. A decay-type of curve was observed when activity was plotted against reaction time. Incorporation of propylene into ethylene has yielded ethylene-propylene random copolymers with lower melting temperatures and lower degree of crystallinity than
polyethylene homopolymer. Differential Scanning Calorimetri (DSC) thermograms showed that E-P samples in higher propylene content consists two or more melting peaks. Increasing mol% of propylene used would lead to a decrease in the catalytic activity and lower the product yield. Effect of catalyst aging time and Al/Cr molar ratio in ethylene-propylene copolymerization were studied. Composition of E-P copolymers iii were determined by FT-IR and an almost linear relationship was obtained between the
absorbance ratios (A720/A1376 and A1376/A1463 ) and ethylene content. |
