Sequence distribution oriented modeling of ethylene and 1-octene copolymerization process catalyzed by CGC
Constrained geometry catalyst (CGC) is particularly suitable for the preparation of high performance polyolefin elastomer (POE) using ethylene and α-olefin solution polymerization process. Based on the reaction mechanism of ethylene copolymerization with 1-octene catalyzed by CGC
a kinetic model was established and its kinetic parameters were determined. The kinetic model was validated by the consumption rate of ethylene and catalyst activity. Based on the kinetic model and sequence structure oriented copolymerization mechanism
a sequence distribution model of ethylene and 1-octene copolymerization was established. The model can accurately predict the sequence distribution
the content of short branch chains and their changing trend with reaction conditions. The results show that with the increase of 1-octene concentration
the average sequence length of ethylene decreases gradually and linearly
while the average sequence length of 1-octene increases linearly. The model can provide a theoretical reference for regulating the structure of the POE chain from the perspective of polymerization process.
