摘要:
Process of preparing silica-supported catalysts. A support material comprising silica particles impregnated with an alumoxane co-catalyst with at least one-half of the co-catalyst disposed within the internal pore volume of the silica is contacted with a dispersion of a metallocene catalyst in an aromatic solvent. The dispersion and support are mixed at a temperature of about 10°C or less to enable the metallocene to become reactively supported on and impregnated within the alumoxane-impregnated silica particles. The supported catalyst is recovered from the aromatic solvent and washed with an aromatic hydrocarbon and then a paraffinic hydrocarbon at a temperature of about 10°C or less. The washed catalyst is dispersed in a viscous mineral oil.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a supported metallocene catalyst incorporating metallocene and co-catalysts components on a support. There is provided a particulate catalyst support material in which an alumoxane co-catalyst is incorporated onto the support particles and contacted with a dispersion of a metallocene catalyst in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. The metallocene solvent dispersion and the alumoxane-containing support are mixed at a temperature of about 10°C or less for a period sufficient to enable the metallocene to become reactively supported on the alumoxane support material. The supported catalyst is recovered from the aromatic solvent and then washed optionally with an aromatic hydrocarbon and then sequentially with a paraffinic hydrocarbon solvent at a temperaturc of about 10°C or less. The washed catalyst is dispersed in a viscous mineral oil having a viscosity which is substantially greater that the viscosity of the paraffinic hydrocarbon solvent.
