Multiplicity of active-site in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts and its correlation with polymer microstructure was studied through the surface structure analysis of catalyst by computer simulation of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) data and microstructure investigation of polypropylene chains based on the deconvolution of the molecular weight distribution curves by multiple Flory most probable distributions using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) method. The number and relative intensities of these peaks were found correlated to the distribution of multiple active sites. In this investigation, four individual categories of active sites were identified, each of which yields polypropylene with unique properties of molecular weight and chain structure different from other active sites. The reason of the multiplicity of active sites was determined by the presence of different locations of surface titanium species coordinated with other surface atoms or molecules. These different surface complexes of active species determine the multiple active site nature of catalyst which replicates the microtacticity, molecular weight and chain microstructure distribution of polymer.

AbstractThe nature of Ti(III) species, introduced in working models of industrial Ziegler Natta catalyst precursors, consisting of MgCl2/TiCl4 binary systems, eventually containing different Lewis basis, are studied by a combination of X- and Q-band CW and pulse EPR spectroscopy. In Ziegler Natta catalysts, Ti(III) play the double role of active catalytic species and unconventional spin probes. On the binary system, two dominant Ti(III) species, characterized by distinctively different EPR spectra, are observed. 35,37Cl Q-Band HYSCORE spectra allow estimating the hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions of directly coordinated Cl, characterized by a hyperfine dipolar contribution of the order of 5 MHz and nuclear quadrupole interactions of the order of e2qQ/h = 9 MHz. Interestingly, the two dominant EPR active species are selectively suppressed by the presence of different Lewis bases, indicating the possibility to address the long standing issue of the influence of Lewis bases in driving specific morphological configurations and influencing the catalytic properties of Ti(III) active sites.

A comprehensive triple-site-model was studied. This model was based on the new molecular dynamics outcomes obtained from the researchers on the different active sites that exist on the heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst. The model was composed of high-isospecific site (IS), low-isospecific site (IS), and aspecific site (AS). A transformation occurred on the high isotactic site and a second isotactic site was generated, as the low-isospecific site. The model is able to predict experimental results of bulk propylene polymerization with great accuracy. Moreover, the kinetic parameters and constants for each individual site has an Arrhenius type behavior. These parameters were determined using genetic algorithm adaptation method. The concentration of each type of sites, the isotactic and atactic fraction were determined during the polymerization, per unit mass of catalyst. A very good agreement was found in between the model and reported experimental results.
