Cross Reference to Related Applications
This application claims the benefit of the application date of korean patent application No. 10-2017-.
The present invention relates to polyethylene copolymers and to a process for their preparation.
Background
Polyolefin resins for large-diameter high-pressure pipes generally require high-pressure resistance and excellent processability. High pressure resistance is generally a physical property that can be expressed in a high density region. This is because as the crystallinity in the polyolefin resin increases, the modulus increases, and thus the ability to withstand high pressure increases.
However, in the case of a normal pipe, long-term pressure resistance stability should be ensured for at least 50 years. However, when the density is high, there are disadvantages that the resistance to the brittle failure mode is lowered and the long-term withstand voltage characteristic is deteriorated. In addition, when the polyolefin resin has a low molecular weight or a narrow polydispersity index, a sagging phenomenon (sagging phenomenon) occurs when processing a large-diameter pipe, and the processing is difficult. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is necessary to use a polyolefin resin having a high molecular weight and a very wide polydispersity index.
Further, when the polyolefin resin has a high molecular weight, the extrusion load increases and the pipe processability decreases, so that it is limited in that the appearance is poor.
Therefore, there is a constant need to produce high quality products with a balance between long term stability and processability.

[ equation 1]
SCG index (α -carbon number of olefin)1/2×5
In the above equation 1, the SCG index is a value (p/q) obtained by dividing a melt index (p) of the polyethylene copolymer measured according to ASTM 1238 (load 21.6kg, 190 ℃) by a comonomer distribution index (q) of the polyethylene copolymer, and a molecular weight distribution profile of the polyethylene copolymer measured based on gel permeation chromatography (where x-axis represents a molecular weight of a polymer chain and y-axis represents a content of the polymer chain), the Comonomer Distribution Index (CDI) is calculated by the following

a is the minimum value of the molecular weight represented by the x-axis in the molecular weight distribution diagram, and b is the maximum value of the molecular weight represented by the x-axis in the molecular weight distribution diagram.
The present inventors found through experiments that when a polyethylene copolymer satisfying the condition of equation 1 is used, excellent processability can be achieved by a relatively low melt viscosity, and at the same time, long-term brittle fracture resistance can be improved by controlling the molecular weight distribution of a comonomer, so that excellent long-term durability can be achieved. The present invention has been completed based on these findings.
Specifically, it is seen that a polyethylene copolymer satisfying the condition of equation 1 is obtained by a method for preparing a polyethylene copolymer according to another embodiment described below, which may be realized by polymerizing ethylene monomers and α -olefin monomers in the presence of a hybrid supported catalyst comprising a transition metal mixture and a support supporting the transition metal mixture, wherein the transition metal mixture comprises a first mixture comprising a first transition metal compound comprising at least one selected from the following

The term "polymer chain" included in "polyethylene copolymer" may refer to a plurality of polymer chains formed when polymerizing and producing the polyethylene copolymer. The molecular weights of these polymer chains and the like can be confirmed by a molecular weight distribution curve (indicated by a continuous solid line in fig. 1) using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC).
Gel permeation chromatography for measuring the molecular weight distribution profile is carried out, for example, using Polymer laboratory sPlgel MIX-B, 300mm column, Waters PL-GPC220 instrument, wherein the evaluation temperature is 100 ℃ to 200 ℃,1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene is used as a solvent, the flow rate is 0.1mL/min to 10mL/min, and a sample having a concentration of 1mg/10mL to 20mg/10mL can be used under the condition that the amount of the upper sample is 100. mu.L to 300. mu.L.
On the other hand, by analyzing the polyethylene copolymer by FT-IR, it was confirmed that the content of side chain branches per 2 to 7 carbon atoms in 1000 carbon atoms in each of the plurality of polymer chains contained in the polyethylene copolymer.
FT-IR for measuring Short Chain Branching (SCB) is measured, for example, using a PerkinElmer Spectrum 100 instrument including a DTGS detector, wherein the evaluation temperature is 100 ℃ to 200 ℃ and the wave number is 2000cm-1To 4000cm-1The number of scanning times is 1 to 20, and the resolution is 1cm-1To 10cm-1。

Specifically, the polyethylene copolymer can have an SCG index of 11 or less, 5 to 11, 5 to 10, or 5 to 9.6, and the polyethylene copolymer can have a Comonomer Distribution Index (CDI) of 1.2 to 3.0, 1.2 to 2.6, or 1.23 to 2.56.
Thus, the polyethylene copolymer can have an s.h. modulus (measured at 80 ℃) of 0.85MPa or greater, 0.85MPa to 1.0MPa, or 0.90MPa to 0.97 MPa. In addition, the polyethylene copolymer may have a stress cracking resistance (full notch creep test (FNCT), measured at 4 MPa) of 1000h or more, or 1000h to 10,000 h.
Therefore, it was confirmed that the polyethylene copolymer had high s.h. modulus and stress crack resistance (FNCT), thereby having excellent long-term brittle fracture resistance.
The polyethylene copolymer has a melt index (measured according to ASTM D1238 at 190 ℃ under a load of 2.16 kg) of from 0.01g/10min to 0.65g/10min, from 0.02g/10min to 0.60g/10min, from 0.03g/10min to 0.60g/10min, or from 0.036g/10min to 0.591g/10 min. Further, the polyethylene copolymer has a melt index (measured according to ASTM D1238 at 190 ℃, 21.6kg load) from 2g/10min to 30g/10min, from 9g/10min to 25g/10min, or from 9.5g/10min to 24.5g/10 min.
The polyethylene copolymer may have a density (ASTM 1505) of 0.930g/cm3To 0.945g/cm3Or 0.935g/cm3To 0.940g/cm3。
Each of the plurality of polymer chains included in the polyethylene copolymer has an average value of a side chain branch content of 2 to 7 carbon atoms per 1000 carbon atoms (measured by FT-IR) characterized by 7/1000C to 15/1000C, 7/1000C to 14/1000C, 7/1000C to 13/1000C, 7/1000C to 13/1000C, or 7/1000C to 11/1000C.
The average value of the content of side chain branches of 2 to 7 carbon atoms per 1000 carbon atoms of each of the plurality of polymer chains included in the polyethylene copolymer can be calculated by the following method: each of the plurality of polymer chains included in the polyethylene copolymer has a total side chain branch content of 2 to 7 carbon atoms per 1000 carbon atoms divided by the number of polymer chains included in the polyethylene copolymer.
Alternatively, the average value of the content of side chain branches of 2 to 7 carbon atoms per 1000 carbon atoms of each of the plurality of polymer chains included in the polyethylene copolymer may be obtained according to the above-described average value calculation method after deriving an SCB distribution curve (represented by a discontinuous broken line in fig. 1) in which a logarithmic value (log M) of the molecular weight (M) obtained by gel permeation chromatography is taken as an x-axis and with respect to the logarithmic value, the content of side chain branches of 2 to 7 carbon atoms per 1000 carbon atoms obtained by FT-IR is taken as a y-axis.
That is, for the polyethylene copolymer, values obtained by averaging the content of side chain branches per 1000 carbon atoms in each polymer chain with respect to all polymer chains having various molecular weights measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) may be shown as high as 7/1000C to 15/1000C, 7/1000C to 14/1000C, 7/1000C to 13/1000C, 7/1000C to 13/1000C, or 7/1000C to 11/1000C.
Since each of the plurality of polymer chains of the polyethylene copolymer has a content of Side Chain Branches (SCBs) of 2 to 7 carbon atoms per 1000 carbon atoms (measured by FT-IR) increased in average to above 7/1000C, tie molecules (tie molecules) such as Short Chain Branches (SCBs) are concentrated in the high molecular weight part (the physical properties are relatively more dependent on the high molecular weight part than the low molecular weight part), and thus superior physical properties are achieved as compared to the conventional polyethylene copolymer.
The polyethylene copolymer may have at least one of the above-mentioned physical properties, and it may have all of the above-mentioned physical properties to exhibit excellent mechanical strength. In this case, the effect of improving mechanical strength and workability can be more remarkable, while having excellent long-term durability.
The above polyethylene copolymer can be produced by a production method comprising polymerizing ethylene monomer and α -olefin monomer in the presence of a hybrid supported catalyst comprising a transition metal mixture and a support supporting the transition metal mixture, wherein the transition metal mixture comprises a first mixture comprising a first transition metal compound containing at least one selected from the following

In the hybrid supported catalyst according to the present invention, as the support, a support containing hydroxyl groups on the surface thereof may be used, and preferably, a support containing highly reactive hydroxyl groups and siloxane groups, the surface of which is dried without moisture, may be used.
For example, silica-alumina, silica-magnesia, or the like dried at high temperature may be used, and may generally contain an oxide, carbonate, sulfate, or nitrate such as Na2O、K2CO3、BaSO4、Mg(NO3)2And the like.
The drying temperature of the support is preferably 200 ℃ to 800 ℃, more preferably 300 ℃ to 600 ℃, and most preferably 300 ℃ to 400 ℃. If the drying temperature of the support is below 200 deg.C, excessive moisture on the surface thereof may react with the cocatalyst. If the drying temperature is higher than 800 deg.C, the pores on the surface of the support are bonded to each other to reduce the surface area, the hydroxyl groups are removed, and only the siloxane groups remain on the surface. Therefore, the reaction sites with the cocatalyst are reduced, which is not preferable.
The amount of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the support is preferably 0.1 to 10mmol/g, more preferably 0.5 to 5 mmol/g. The amount of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the support can be controlled depending on the preparation method of the support and its conditions, or drying conditions such as temperature, time, vacuum and spray drying.
If the amount of hydroxyl groups is less than 0.1mmol/g, the reaction sites with the cocatalyst decrease. If the amount of the hydroxyl groups is more than 10mmol/g, these hydroxyl groups may be derived from moisture in addition to the hydroxyl groups present on the particle surface of the support, which is not preferable.
The hybrid supported catalyst can induce the production of LCB (long chain branching) in the polyethylene copolymer to be produced, in particular ethylene/1-hexene or ethylene/1-butene copolymer.
Further, in the hybrid supported catalyst according to the present invention, the cocatalyst supported on the support to activate the transition metal compound is an organometallic compound containing a group 13 metal, and is not particularly limited as long as it can be used for polymerizing an olefin in the presence of a general metallocene catalyst.

Such hybrid supported catalysts can be prepared, for example, by a process comprising the steps of: the cocatalyst is supported on the support, and the first and second transition metal compounds are sequentially supported on the cocatalyst-supported support. At this time, the order of supporting the transition metal compound is not particularly limited, but may be supported in such an order of the first transition metal compound and the second transition metal compound having a small molecular structure.
Further, in the step of supporting the cocatalyst on the support, the cocatalyst-supported support may be prepared by adding the cocatalyst to the support dried at a high temperature and stirring at a temperature of about 20 ℃ to 120 ℃.
Further, in the step of supporting the catalyst precursor on the support on which the co-catalyst is supported, the supported catalyst can be prepared by the steps of: the transition metal compound is added to the cocatalyst-supported carrier (obtained in the step of supporting the cocatalyst on the carrier), and then stirred at a temperature of about 20 ℃ to 120 ℃ to prepare a supported catalyst.
In the step of supporting a catalyst precursor on the cocatalyst-supported carrier, the supported catalyst may be prepared by adding a transition metal compound to the cocatalyst-supported carrier, stirring the mixture, and further adding a cocatalyst.
The contents of the support, the cocatalyst, the support on which the cocatalyst is supported, and the transition metal compound used in the hybrid supported catalyst according to an embodiment of the present invention may be appropriately controlled according to the physical properties or effects of the desired supported catalyst.

When the support and the transition metal mixture are contained in a weight ratio within the above range, an optimum shape can be exhibited.
Further, when the hybrid supported catalyst further comprises a promoter, the weight ratio of promoter to support can be from 1:1 to 1:100, more specifically from 1:1 to 1: 50. When the cocatalyst and the support are included in the above weight ratio, the activity and polymer microstructure can be optimized.
As a reaction solvent for preparing the hybrid supported catalyst, a hydrocarbon solvent such as pentane, hexane, heptane or the like, or an aromatic solvent such as benzene, toluene or the like can be used.
For a more specific method of preparing the supported catalyst, see the examples described below. However, the preparation method of the supported catalyst is not limited to that described herein, and the above-described preparation method may further employ steps generally employed in the art to which the present invention pertains. The steps of the preparation process can be modified by generally variable steps.
On the other hand, the polyethylene copolymer according to the present invention can be prepared by polymerizing ethylene monomer and α -olefin monomer in the presence of the above-mentioned hybrid supported catalyst.
For the polymerization of the monomer, various polymerization methods known as polymerization of olefin monomers, such as a continuous solution polymerization method, a bulk polymerization method, a suspension polymerization method, a slurry polymerization method, or an emulsion polymerization method, may be used.
The polymerization temperature may be 25 ℃ to 500 ℃, preferably 25 ℃ to 200 ℃, more preferably 50 ℃ to 150 ℃. Further, the polymerization pressure may be 1 bar to 100 bar, preferably 1 bar to 50 bar, more preferably 5 bar to 30 bar.
Since the first and second transition metal compounds in the present invention have excellent hydrogen reactivity, a polyethylene copolymer having a desired molecular weight and melt index can be efficiently prepared by controlling the amount of hydrogen used in the polymerization step.
Specifically, in the polymerization step of the ethylene monomer and the α -olefin monomer, the hydrogen may be added in an amount of 0.005 to 0.040 wt%, 0.008 to 0.035 wt%, or 0.005 to 0.020 wt% with respect to the ethylene monomer.
More specifically, when the transition metal of chemical formula 1 is used as the first transition metal compound and the transition metal of

The above metallocene-supported catalyst may be injected after it is dissolved or diluted with an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, such as pentane, hexane, heptane, nonane, decane and isomers thereof, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, such as toluene and benzene, or a hydrocarbon solvent substituted with a chlorine atom, such as dichloromethane and chlorobenzene. It is preferable to use the solvent after removing a small amount of water, air, etc. as a catalyst poison by a small amount of alkylaluminum treatment. Additional promoters may also be used.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a shaped article, in particular a pipe such as a high internal pressure heating pipe, a mining pipe or a large diameter pipe, prepared using the above polyethylene copolymer.

(2) Preparation of transition metal compounds
3.82g (6mmol) of the ligand compound synthesized in 2-1 above was dissolved in 100mL of toluene and 5mL of MTBE, and then 5.6mL (14mmol) of a 2.5M n-BuLi hexane solution was added dropwise to the dry ice/acetone bath and stirred at room temperature overnight. 2.26g (6mmol) of ZrCl4(THF)2Into another flask, and 100mL of toluene was added to prepare a slurry. Reacting ZrCl4(THF)2The toluene slurry was transferred to lithiated ligand in a dry ice/acetone bath. Stirring at room temperature overnight, it turned purple. The reaction solution was filtered to remove LiCl. The resulting filtrate was dried in vacuo, and hexane was added thereto and sonicated. The slurry was filtered to obtain 3.40g (yield: 71.1 mol%) of a dark purple transition metal compound as a filtered solid.
