(31) To a 5 L of stainless steel reactor fully purged with nitrogen were added 4 mL of 0.5 mol/L triethylaluminum solution in hexane, 1 mL of 0.1 mol/L methylcyclohexyldimethoxysilane (CMMS) solution in hexane and 5 mg of prepared catalyst, then 10 mL of hexane was added to rinse the feed line, and 2 L of hydrogen (standard state) and 2.5 L of refined propylene were added. The reaction was controlled to prepolymerize at 20° C. for 5 minutes, the temperature was raised to 70° C., and the polymerization was carried out at this temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the reaction vessel was cooled and the stirring was stopped to discharge the reaction product, and then a polymer was obtained after drying.

(33) It can be seen from the data in Table 3 that Examples 1-16 respectively used 16 kinds of different ortho-phenylenedicarboxylate compounds to combine with 9,9-dimethoxymethylfluorene in different molar ratios as internal electron donor compound. The prepared catalysts had high activity of 72-106 KgPP/gCat under the conditions, the obtained polymers had isotacticity higher than 97.4%, and the molecular weight distribution was between 5.3 and 7.1 that was wider than that of the diether catalyst.
(34) When the same ethoxy magnesium carrier was used, the activity of the catalyst obtained by use of the compound of ortho-phenylenedicarboxylate and the diether (72-106 KgPP/gCat of Examples 1-16) was much higher than that of the catalysts obtained by single use of 9,9-dimethoxymethylfluorene (65 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 1), 2-isopropyl-2-isopentyl-1,3-dimethoxypropane (60 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 2), 1,2-benzenediol-4-tert-butyl-1,2-dibenzoate (49 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 3) or di-n-butyl phthalate (45 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 4) as an internal electron donor.
(35) The catalyst prepared by using the ethoxy magnesium carrier after high pressure treatment (Example 19 activity 138 KgPP/gCat and Example 20 activity 129 KgPP/gCat), has an activity higher than those prepared by using the internal electron donor (Example 17 activity 115 KgPP/gCat and Example 18 activity 108 KgPP/gCat) with the same type and ratio without high pressure treatment (above atmospheric pressure).
(36) The catalyst activity prepared using the ethoxy magnesium carrier (76-138 KgPP/gCat of Examples 1-20) in total was higher than the catalyst prepared by using the magnesium chloride alcoholate carrier (88 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 5) and the catalyst prepared by the dissolution precipitation method (75 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 6 and 74 KgPP/gCat of Comparative Example 7). It is indicated that the ethoxy magnesium carrier is more advantageous than the magnesium chloride alcoholate carrier and the activated carrier obtained after dissolution and precipitation to exert the catalytic activity of the complex system of ortho-phenylenedicarboxylate compound and the diether compound.
(37) Polymerization Condition 2
(38) The polymerization evaluation was carried out by using a solid catalyst as a component of the olefin polymerization catalyst under the following conditions:
(39) To a 5 L stainless steel reactor sufficiently purged with nitrogen were added a solution of 0.5 mol/L of triethylaluminum in hexane (the amount of triethylaluminum is shown in Al/Ti in Table 4) and prepared 3-5 mg of catalyst were added. Then, 10 mL of hexane was added to rinse the feed line, and 2 L of hydrogen (standard state) and 2.5 L of refined propylene were added thereto. The reaction was controlled to prepolymerize at 20° C. for 5 minutes and the temperature was raised to 70° C. At this temperature, the polymerization reaction was carried out for corresponding time (see Table 4). After completion of the reaction, the reaction vessel was cooled and the stirring was stopped to discharge the reaction product, and then a polymer was obtained after drying. The results obtained were shown in Table 4.

(44) It can be seen from the data in Table 4 that the catalysts CAT-19 and CAT-20 prepared by using the ethoxy magnesium carrier and compounding the ortho-phenylene diester compound and the diether compound could have ultrahigh activity with no use of the external electron donor compound during polymerization, which is much higher than that of the non-complexed catalysts under the same polymerization conditions (Comparative Examples 8-11) and the catalysts prepared by using the magnesium chloride alcoholate carrier or the dissolution precipitation method (Comparative Examples 12-14), and still maintain a high isotacticity of 97.9% or more. When the polymerization time is extended from 60 minutes to 90 minutes and 120 minutes, the catalyst can maintain ultra high activity without attenuation. The polypropylene obtained by using low Al/Ti has a lower ash content that can be reduced to a minimum of 18 ppm.
(45) Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art to make modifications or improvements. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
