摘要:
A slurry polymerization process uses an unsupported catalyst component which is an organometallic complex having a phosphinimine ligand and a cyclopentadienyl-type ligand. The use of the unsupported catalyst component allows simple, inexpensive catalyst addition techniques to be used in a slurry polymerization process. The catalyst component is highly active for ethylene (co)polymerization in the process of this invention.
摘要:
A supported catalyst for olefin polymerization comprises a selected ionic activator, a selected organometallic catalyst and a support material. The selected activator must contain an active hydrogen moeity. The organometallic catalyst is characterized by having a phosphinimine ligand and a substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand (which contains from 7 to 30 carbon atoms). The supported catalyst exhibits excellent activity in gas phase olefin polymerizations and may be used under substantially “non-fouling” polymerization conditions.

摘要:
The use of high activity “Single Site” polymerization catalysts often causes the fouling of polymerization reactors. The problem is particularly acute with gas phase polymerizations. While not wishing to be bound by theory it is believed that the fouling is initiated by the buildup of static charges in the reactor. The use of anti-static agents mitigates this problem, but typical antistatic agents contain polar species, which can deactivate the polymerization catalyst. We have now discovered that the use of a porous metal oxide support allows large levels of a selected antistatic agent to be used in a manner that reduces static/fouling problems in highly active polymerization catalysts.

摘要:
A phosphinimine catalyst for olefin polymerization is supported on a directly fluorided metal oxide with an aluminoxane. This catalyst is highly active for olefin polymerization in comparison to prior art catalysts which use non-fluorided metal oxide supports. The directly fluorided metal oxide may be conveniently prepared by contacting the precursor metal oxide with a simple alkali metal salt (such as NaF) in an aqueous slurry.
摘要:
A heterogeneous catalyst for olefin polymerization is prepared by spray drying a mixture of a metallocene catalyst, a cocatalyst and a hydrotalcite. It Preferred hydrotalcites are magnesium-aluminum hydroxy carbonates. The catalysts are very active for ethylene polymerization. The hydrotalcite used in this invention are generally defined by the formula: (Mg1−x Alx(OH)2)n+An−x/n·m H2O wherein X is from 0 to 0.5, m is from 0 to 20 and An− is an anion having a charge of n. Preferred hydrotalcites are those in which the anion A is a carbonate and which have been dried of adsorbed water.
摘要:
Organometallic complexes having two phosphinimine ligands and at least one activatable ligand are catalyst components for olefin polymerization. Preferred polymerization systems are prepared by combining the organometallic complexes with an ionic activator and/or an alumoxane. Preferred catalyst components contain titanium, zirconium, or hafnium and are activated with an ionic activator to form catalysts for ethylene polymerization.

摘要:
A process for producing a self-disrupting filter cake in an underground formation, which process comprises: (a) incorporating into a drilling fluid a solid polymer capable of being converted by hydrolysis into one or more organic acids; (b) using the drilling fluid to drill a wellbore into the underground formation such that the solid polymer in the drilling fluid contributes to the formation of a filter cake; and (c) allowing the solid polymer to hydrolyse in the presence of water and to disrupt the integrity of the filter cake. A drilling fluid which contains as a bridging agent one or more solid polymers capable of being converted by hydrolysis into one or more organic acids is also provided.
