Description
5~26. a The present invention relates to the preparation of alum-oxanes~ preferably methylalumoxanes.
Alumoxanes, i.e. the products of partial hydrolysis of hydro-carbylaluminum compounds, have been found useful in a variety oE
chemical reactions, among others as catalysts components for polymeri-æation catalysts and especially as a component for catalysts in the preparation of high-activi1:y~ homogenous Ziegler catalysts, as is described, for example in Canadian Patent No. 1,2319701.
Various processes are known for the preparation of alum-oxanes, the simplest being to add water in predetermined amounts and under controlled conditions to an alkylaluminum compound (U.S. Patent 3,242,099). Alumoxanes can also be obtained, for example, by the action of water vapor on a benzene solution of a trialkylaluminum (J.
Am. Chem. Soc., 90, 3173 [:L968]), by using lithium dialkylaluminates as the organoaluminum starting compound (J. Chem. Soc. 89, 173 ([1967]). Other known methods for preparing alumoxanes include oxidiz-ing aluminum-hydrocarbon compounds with lead dioxide (J. Organomet.
C'hem. 43, 81 [1972]), treating an alkylaluminum with alkyldistannox-anes [(R3Sn)2O] in place of water (Racanelli, P. and Porri, L, Europ. Polym. J., 6, 751 [1970]) and hydrolyzing alkylaluminums with copper sulfate containing water of crystallization as suggested in European Patent Applicatiom 0035242.
In Australian 20861/83, Kaminsky et al. disclose a method of preparing alumoxanes by contacting aluminum salts containing water of crystallization with a trialkylaluminum. It is taught that the alum-oxanes are obtained in higher yields and greater purity.
In many of these processes, because of the highly exothermic nature of the reaction between the water and the hydrocarbylaluminum, the reaction can easily get out of control or even become explosive.
While the use of CuSO4-5H2O as a source of water provides for the slow addition of water, thus reducing the risk of local excesses of water and, thereby reducing the probability of a runaway or explosive reaction, the method suffers from some drawbacks; for example, the Cu(II) may be reduced to Cu(I) or even to metallic copper during the reaction wlth an alkylaluminum suchas trimethylaluminum. This can lead to the introduction of sulfate groups and other undesirable types of functionalities as well as copper into the alumoxane preparation.

This can lead to the introduction of sulfate groups and other undesirable types of functionalities as well as copper into the alumoxane preparation.
6.5 1 The alumoxane product, therefore, prior to use as a component of a
2 catalyst system in a polymerization process must be filtered, purified
3 and recrystallized, since otherwise adverse conditions will exist
4 during the polymerization and the quality and quantity of the polymer will be adversely affected. Another disadvantage associated with 6 CuS04 5H20 in preparation of alumoxane is the low yield which is 7 in the order of about 30% relative to the aluminum trialkyl employed.
8 These problems can be essentially eliminated, if one employs 9 hydrated salts as the source of water in the preparation of alumoxanes such as methyl alumoxane wherein the metal component is not reduced 11 during the alumoxane preparation. The metals are selected from the 12 metals of Group la, 2a, 2b, 3a and 8b of the Periodic Table (as 13 defined in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 53rd Ed., CRC Press, 14 Cleveland, 1972, P. B-3). An additional unexpected benefit is the discovery that the catalyst systems comprising the alumoxane prepared 16 through the use of such hydrated salts evidence a much higher activity 17 than catalyst systems comprising alumoxanes prepared from 18 CuS04 5H20, and that this higher activity can be obtained with 19 shorter reaction periodsO
The alumoxanes which are prepared in accordance with this 21 invention are oligomeric!, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbylalumoxanes 22 represented by the formulas:
23 (I) R-(Al~O)n-AlR2 for oligomeric, linear alumoxanes and (II) (~Al-0-)m for oligomeric, cyclic alumoxanes, 27 wherein n is l-40, preferably 10-20, m is 3-40, preferably 3-20, and R
28 is a Cl-C8 alkyl group and preferably methyl. It is generally 29 known that the alumoxanes will show maximum activity when m and n are greater than lO.
31 In the case of alkylalumoxanes, the general procedure, in 32 accordance with this invention, is to dissolve a trialkylaluminum, 33 preferably trimethylaluminum in an inert aliphatic or aromatic solvent 34 maintained at temperatures between -30C and 110C3 preferably between l5C and 50C and slowly adding the alkylaluminum solution to the .
~L~ 3~ 6 5 1 hydrated salt. Because the hydrated salts are solids at the contact-2 ing temperatures, the salts should be thoroughly mixed with an inert 3 dry organic liquid such as toluene to form a slurry. The liquid to 4 salt ratio should be about l00:l to 4:l so as to provide the most useful contacting system. Illustrative of the dry organic liquids one 6 can employ in forming the hydrated salt slurry are toluene, hexane, 7 heptane, octane, cyclohexane and the like.
8 Because of the very highly exothermic character of the reac-9 tion between trialkylaluminum and water, it is important that the 10 reaction not be carried out in too concentrated a system and/or at an 11 excessively high rate. The liquid used to slurry the hydrated salts 12 also serves to dilute the reacting systems as does the inert solvent 13 used for diluting the alkylaluminum compound.
14 The ratio by volume between the inert solvent and the alkyl-aluminum employed should be about l:l to about 50:l or greater and 16 preferably about l0:l. The molar ratio of water in the hydrated salt 17 to alkylaluminum should be 0.5:1 to about l.5:l and preferably l:l, 18 calculated on the amount of water in the hydrate salt available for 19 reaction with the organoaluminum compound under the conditions used.
This amount will not only depend on the total amount of water present 21 in the hydrated salt, which may not always correspond exactly to the 22 chemical formula given for the compound, but also upon factors which 23 influence the release of water from the salt, such as temperature, 24 time, concentration and degree of communition of the solid.
Completion of the reaction between the trialkylaluminum and 26 the hydrated salt is indicated by the cessation of alkane production.
27 Génerally, the reaction time will be between about 0.5 and about 200 28 hours, and preferably between about l0 and 40 hours, it being con-29 trolled primarily by the rate of addition of the trihydrocarbyl-aluminum to the hydrated salt. However, the rate of addition of the 31 iorganoaluminum compound that can be advantageously employed is in turn 32 dependent upon a number of factors such as the general tendency of the 33 hydrated salts to give up its water of hydration, the state of sub-34 division of the salt, the temperature of the reacting system and the35 concentration of the reactants. The latter two factors are of par-36 ticular importance also from a safety point of view. Thus, a rapid 37 addition of the trihydrocarbylaluminum at a high concentration of the 38 reactants may lead to an uncontrollably fast reaction. Since the rate .S
1 at which the water of crystallization is released by the hydrated 2 salts generally increases with the temperature, an increase in temper-3 ature may also lead to an uncontrollably fast reaction unless the rate 4 of reaction is limited by other factors such as the rate of addition of the organoaluminum compound to the hydrated salt slurry. For the 6 sake of safety and in order to obtain a product of desirable proper-7 ties, the rate of trihydrocarbylaluminum addition should not exceed 8 about l/20th of a mole per minute for each of liter of reaction 9 medium, which in the case of trimethylaluminum would correspond to 3.6 g/min/l. Faster rates should be avoided in order to prevent any 11 possibility of a runaway reaction or explosion. As a rule, with a 12 suitable original hydratecl salt slurry concentration corresponding to 13 about l-lO moles H20 per liter, the time required for the hydrocar-14 bylaluminum addition would typically be within the range of 20-200 minutes and preferably in the range of 30-lO0 minutes.
16 The solvents employed in dissolving the trialkylaluminum can 17 be any of the known inert organic solvents, preferably aliphatic or 18 aromatic solvents such as toluene, benzene, hexane, heptane, iso-19 octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, decane, and the like, and preferably the same as the solvent employed for slurrying the hydrated 21 salt. The preferred solvents are toluene and hexane.
22 The hydrocarbylaluminums which are employed as the starting 23 materials in the preparation of the alumoxanes are trialkyl or tri-24 arylaluminums represented by the formula AlR3 in which R may be an alkyl group having from l to 8 carbon atoms and preferably l to 6 26 carbon atoms or an aryl group having from 6 to lO carbon atoms.
27 Illustrative of the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, 28 n-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, and the like. Suitable aryl groups 29 are phenyl, benzyl, naphthyl and the like.
The hydrated salts are selected from salts comprising a metal 31 'which is not readily reduced by alkylaluminum compounds and which 32 release their water of crystallization reasonably slowly, thus reduc-33 ing the risk of over-hydrolysis and/or uncontrollably fast reaction.
34 Illustrative of the hydrated salts which can be usefully employed in accordance with this invention are magnesium salt hydrates, zinc salt 36 hydrates, sodium salt hydrates and iron salt hydrates such as 37 FeS0~ 7H20, MgS04 7H20, ZnS04 7H20, Na2S04-lOH20, _5 3 L ~ 5 ~
1 Na2S04~ H20, Na3P04~12H20. Preferably, the salt of choice 2 is FeS04O7H20. Because the water of hydration is not held equally 3 firmly by all of the salt hydrates, some variation of reaction condi-4 tions with respect to temperature, concentration of reactants, water/
aluminum ratio, etc. will be required for optimum results.
6 The trialkylaluminum, e.gO, trimethylaluminum, diluted in the 7 inert solvent such as heptane or toluene, reacts with the metal salts 8 such as FeS04~7H20 to procluce oligomeric, linear and cyclic alum-9 oxanesO
Upon completion of the reaction between the metal salt 11 hydrate and the trialkylaluminum, it is desirable to filter off any 12 solids which may remain and recover the alumoxane solution.
13 The polyolefins prepared in the presence of the alumoxanes 14 prepared in accordance with this invention can be extruded, mechanic-ally melted, cast or molded as desired. They can be used for plates, 16 sheets, films, and a vari~ety of other objects.
17 While the invention is described in connection with the 18 specific examples below, it is understood that these are only for 19 illustrative purposesO Many alternatives, modifications and varia-tions will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the 21 below examples and such alternatives, modifications and variations 22 fall within the generally scope of the claims.
24 A one liter baffled, 3-necked reaction flask was charged inside a nitrogen containing dry box with 55.6 9 ferrous sulfate 26 heptahydrate (FeS04~7H20) and 500 cc dry toluene. A 500 cc feed 27 bottle was likewise charged inside the dry box with 1.4 mole (100.9 9) 28 trimethylaluminum (TMA, Me3Al) diluted to 350 cc with dry toluene.
29 Two adapters, one of which was equipped with a side tube for connec-tion to a nitrogen line, were attached to the side necks of the reac-31 tion flask and secured with tension hooks. A bulb from a medicine 32 dropper was placed over the tube for connection to the nitrogen line 33 and double serum stoppers were put over the open ends of the adapters 34 and secured with copper wire. Double serum stoppers were also put over the neck of the feed bottle and secured with copper wire.
36 Finally, a stirrer assembly was put in place and attached to the 37 center neck of the reaction flask with tension hooks.
s 1 The flask and the bottle were then transferred to a hood and 2 connected to nitrogen lines, the flask through its side tube and the 3 bottle through a needle stuck through the double serum stopper. The 4 flask was then inserted in a temperature controlled bath, whic-h at this time was set at -8C, the stirrer attached to the stirrer motor, 6 and the stirring started at 300 rpm. Finally, the bottle and the 7 flask were connected with the help of syringe needles through a piece 8 of tubing that ran through a Masterflex pump.
9 When the contents of the reaction flask had reached the temperature of the thermostatted bath, the pump was started and TMA
11 solution allowed to flow into the reaction flask at a rate of 2.08 12 cc/min (0.6 9 TMA/min). The pump was stopped after 2 hours, at which 13 time 250 cc solution containing 72.1 9 (1 mole) TMA solution had been 14 added to the reaction flask. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for another hour at -8C, whereupon the temperature was increased to 16 0C. After 1 hour at this temperature, the temperature was increased 17 to 10C and after another hour to 20C, at which temperature the 18 stirred mixture was allowed to remain for 17.5 hours. The reaction 19 flask was then disconnected from the feed line, the stirrer motor, and the nitrogen line and brought into the dry box. The solids in the 21 flask were filtered off with mild vacuum in a fritted glass funnel and 22 washed with four 50 cc portions of dry toluene. The clear colorless 23 alumoxane solution had a volume~of 710 cc and was 1.12 molar with 24 respect to aluminum, corresponding to a yield of 79.5%, on the assump-tio~ that all TMA had been converted to alumoxane. The alumoxane 26 preparation was tested for polymerization activity as follows.
27 A one liter stainless steel pressure vessel, equipped with an 28 incline blade stirrer, a septum inlet, a vent line, an external water 29 jacket for temperature control, and inlets for regulated supply of dry 3d ethylene and nitrogen, was dried and deoxygenated with a flow of 31 nitrogen at 80C for 30 minutes. Five hundred cc toluene and 3.13 cc 32 (3.5 mmole) of the 1~12 molar alumoxane solution were injected 33 directly into the reaction vessel at room temperature, whereupon the 34 temperature was raised to 80C. After one minute at this temperature and at a pressure of 0 psig, 3.55 X 10 7 mole of bis(cyclopenta-36 dienyl)zirconium dichloride (Cp2ZrC12) was injected into the 37 reactor as a solution in 1 cc dry toluene. This established a molar ~L~ .5 1 Al/Zr ratio of 9860. Ethylene was thereafter introduced continuously 2 for 3 minutes so as to maintain a reactor pressure of 4 atm (gauge).
3 The reaction was terminated by rapidly venting and cooling the reactor 4 to room temperature. The recovered yield of dry high mol. wt. poly-ethylene was l3.3 9, corresponding to a polymerization rate of 2.05 X
6 lo6 9 polymer/g Zr h atm.
8 An alumoxane preparation was made with the same equipment and 9 according to the same general procedure as in Example l except that this time 49.9 9 (l/5th mole) of mortared CuS04 5H20 was used in 11 place of the FeS04 7H20 of the preceding example. Also, the 12 reaction time at 20C was 18 hours instead of l7.5 hours. The recov-13 ered filtered product amounted to 7lO ml of alumoxane that was l.l2 14 molar in Al for a yield of 79.5%, or the sarne as in the earlier examPle 16 When tested for catalyst activity under the same conditions 17 as in Example l, the alumoxane of this example produced 7.5 g of high 18 mol. wt. polyethylene in lO rninutes, corresponding to a rate of 19 0.347 X lO6 9 polymer/g Zr.h~atm.
21 In the preceding Example 2, the H20/Al ratio employed in 22 the alumoxane preparation was l while the same ratio in Example l was 23 l.4. However, as will be shown by the following two comparative 24 experiments, the optimum ratio for H20/Al with Cu504 5H20 was found to be about one rather than a higher value. The first exper-26 iment was carried out according to the procedure of Example l but with 27 CuS04 5H20 as the source of water and with the TMA addition made 28 to the salt slurry at 30C and subsequent stirring for another 2l 29 hours at this temperature. The yield was 723 ml of a solution 1.15 molar in Al. When tested under the previously described conditions, 31 Ithe alumoxane produced ll.0 g polyethylene in 4 minutes for a rate of 32 l.27 X lo6 9 polymer/g 7r-h-atm.
33 The second experiment was carried out with 62.5 g (l/4th 34 mole) CuS04 5H20 for a H20/Al ratio of l.25. After the reaction mixture had been stirred for l9 hours at 30C, a yield of 670 ml of a 36 solution l.ll molar in Al was obtained. When tested under the -8~ 5 l standard conditions of Example l, this alumoxane produced 4.5 grams of 2 polyethylene in 5 minutes for a rate of 0.4l7 X lO6 9 polymer/g 3 Zr.h-atm.
4 This shows that the activity of the alumoxane obtained with CuS04 5H20 does not increase if the H20/Al ratio is increased 6 substantially above unity. Apparently the water of crystallization is 7 released more readily and more completely from this sa1t than from 8 FeS04 7H20 under the conditions used in these experiments.
An alumoxane preparation was made according to the procedure 11 of Example l, except that the TMA addition to the FeS04 7H20 12 slurry in toluene was made at 0C. The mixture was stirred at this 13 temperature for l hour and at lOC for another hour and then, finally, 14 at 20C for l9 hours. The yield was 720 ml of a solution 0.96 molar in Al for a yield of 69.l%. The standard polymerization test was 16 modified relative to the previous examples in that only 2.5 mmoles of 17 alumoxane were used for an Al/Zr ratio of 7000. The yield was ll.7 9 18 polyethylene in 2 minutes for a rake of 2.7l X lO6 9 polymer/g Zr hr 19 atm.
21 An alumoxane preparation was made with CuS04 5H20 as the 22 source of water according to the method described for the first exper-23 iment of Example 3, i.e. with TMA added at 30C. However, in this 24 case the stirring was allowed to continue at this temperature for 69 hours. The yield was 720 ml of a solution 0.922 molar in Al or 66.2%
26 of the TMA employed.
27 When tested as in Example 4, i.e. at an Al/Zr ratio of 7000, 28 this preparation produced 9.8 9 polyethylene in 3 minutes for a rate 29 of l.5l X lC6 9 polymer/g Zr-h-atm.
This shows that the activity of alumoxane preparations made 31- with CuS04-5H20 can be improved by using very long reaction 32 times. However, this increase in activity, which is also associated 33 with a lower alumoxane yield, does not result in a preparation nearly 34 as active as the ones obtainable with FeS04 7H20.
8 These problems can be essentially eliminated, if one employs 9 hydrated salts as the source of water in the preparation of alumoxanes such as methyl alumoxane wherein the metal component is not reduced 11 during the alumoxane preparation. The metals are selected from the 12 metals of Group la, 2a, 2b, 3a and 8b of the Periodic Table (as 13 defined in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 53rd Ed., CRC Press, 14 Cleveland, 1972, P. B-3). An additional unexpected benefit is the discovery that the catalyst systems comprising the alumoxane prepared 16 through the use of such hydrated salts evidence a much higher activity 17 than catalyst systems comprising alumoxanes prepared from 18 CuS04 5H20, and that this higher activity can be obtained with 19 shorter reaction periodsO
The alumoxanes which are prepared in accordance with this 21 invention are oligomeric!, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbylalumoxanes 22 represented by the formulas:
23 (I) R-(Al~O)n-AlR2 for oligomeric, linear alumoxanes and (II) (~Al-0-)m for oligomeric, cyclic alumoxanes, 27 wherein n is l-40, preferably 10-20, m is 3-40, preferably 3-20, and R
28 is a Cl-C8 alkyl group and preferably methyl. It is generally 29 known that the alumoxanes will show maximum activity when m and n are greater than lO.
31 In the case of alkylalumoxanes, the general procedure, in 32 accordance with this invention, is to dissolve a trialkylaluminum, 33 preferably trimethylaluminum in an inert aliphatic or aromatic solvent 34 maintained at temperatures between -30C and 110C3 preferably between l5C and 50C and slowly adding the alkylaluminum solution to the .

Because the hydrated salts are solids at the contact-2 ing temperatures, the salts should be thoroughly mixed with an inert 3 dry organic liquid such as toluene to form a slurry. The liquid to 4 salt ratio should be about l00:l to 4:l so as to provide the most useful contacting system. Illustrative of the dry organic liquids one 6 can employ in forming the hydrated salt slurry are toluene, hexane, 7 heptane, octane, cyclohexane and the like.
8 Because of the very highly exothermic character of the reac-9 tion between trialkylaluminum and water, it is important that the 10 reaction not be carried out in too concentrated a system and/or at an 11 excessively high rate. The liquid used to slurry the hydrated salts 12 also serves to dilute the reacting systems as does the inert solvent 13 used for diluting the alkylaluminum compound.
14 The ratio by volume between the inert solvent and the alkyl-aluminum employed should be about l:l to about 50:l or greater and 16 preferably about l0:l. The molar ratio of water in the hydrated salt 17 to alkylaluminum should be 0.5:1 to about l.5:l and preferably l:l, 18 calculated on the amount of water in the hydrate salt available for 19 reaction with the organoaluminum compound under the conditions used.
This amount will not only depend on the total amount of water present 21 in the hydrated salt, which may not always correspond exactly to the 22 chemical formula given for the compound, but also upon factors which 23 influence the release of water from the salt, such as temperature, 24 time, concentration and degree of communition of the solid.
Completion of the reaction between the trialkylaluminum and 26 the hydrated salt is indicated by the cessation of alkane production.

Thus, a rapid 37 addition of the trihydrocarbylaluminum at a high concentration of the 38 reactants may lead to an uncontrollably fast reaction. Since the rate .S

For the 6 sake of safety and in order to obtain a product of desirable proper-7 ties, the rate of trihydrocarbylaluminum addition should not exceed 8 about l/20th of a mole per minute for each of liter of reaction 9 medium, which in the case of trimethylaluminum would correspond to 3.6 g/min/l. Faster rates should be avoided in order to prevent any 11 possibility of a runaway reaction or explosion. As a rule, with a 12 suitable original hydratecl salt slurry concentration corresponding to 13 about l-lO moles H20 per liter, the time required for the hydrocar-14 bylaluminum addition would typically be within the range of 20-200 minutes and preferably in the range of 30-lO0 minutes.
16 The solvents employed in dissolving the trialkylaluminum can 17 be any of the known inert organic solvents, preferably aliphatic or 18 aromatic solvents such as toluene, benzene, hexane, heptane, iso-19 octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, decane, and the like, and preferably the same as the solvent employed for slurrying the hydrated 21 salt. The preferred solvents are toluene and hexane.
22 The hydrocarbylaluminums which are employed as the starting 23 materials in the preparation of the alumoxanes are trialkyl or tri-24 arylaluminums represented by the formula AlR3 in which R may be an alkyl group having from l to 8 carbon atoms and preferably l to 6 26 carbon atoms or an aryl group having from 6 to lO carbon atoms.
27 Illustrative of the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, 28 n-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, and the like. Suitable aryl groups 29 are phenyl, benzyl, naphthyl and the like.
The hydrated salts are selected from salts comprising a metal 31 'which is not readily reduced by alkylaluminum compounds and which 32 release their water of crystallization reasonably slowly, thus reduc-33 ing the risk of over-hydrolysis and/or uncontrollably fast reaction.
34 Illustrative of the hydrated salts which can be usefully employed in accordance with this invention are magnesium salt hydrates, zinc salt 36 hydrates, sodium salt hydrates and iron salt hydrates such as 37 FeS0~ 7H20, MgS04 7H20, ZnS04 7H20, Na2S04-lOH20, _5 3 L ~ 5 ~
1 Na2S04~ H20, Na3P04~12H20. Preferably, the salt of choice 2 is FeS04O7H20. Because the water of hydration is not held equally 3 firmly by all of the salt hydrates, some variation of reaction condi-4 tions with respect to temperature, concentration of reactants, water/
aluminum ratio, etc. will be required for optimum results.
6 The trialkylaluminum, e.gO, trimethylaluminum, diluted in the 7 inert solvent such as heptane or toluene, reacts with the metal salts 8 such as FeS04~7H20 to procluce oligomeric, linear and cyclic alum-9 oxanesO
Upon completion of the reaction between the metal salt 11 hydrate and the trialkylaluminum, it is desirable to filter off any 12 solids which may remain and recover the alumoxane solution.
13 The polyolefins prepared in the presence of the alumoxanes 14 prepared in accordance with this invention can be extruded, mechanic-ally melted, cast or molded as desired. They can be used for plates, 16 sheets, films, and a vari~ety of other objects.
17 While the invention is described in connection with the 18 specific examples below, it is understood that these are only for 19 illustrative purposesO Many alternatives, modifications and varia-tions will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the 21 below examples and such alternatives, modifications and variations 22 fall within the generally scope of the claims.
24 A one liter baffled, 3-necked reaction flask was charged inside a nitrogen containing dry box with 55.6 9 ferrous sulfate 26 heptahydrate (FeS04~7H20) and 500 cc dry toluene. A 500 cc feed 27 bottle was likewise charged inside the dry box with 1.4 mole (100.9 9) 28 trimethylaluminum (TMA, Me3Al) diluted to 350 cc with dry toluene.
29 Two adapters, one of which was equipped with a side tube for connec-tion to a nitrogen line, were attached to the side necks of the reac-31 tion flask and secured with tension hooks. A bulb from a medicine 32 dropper was placed over the tube for connection to the nitrogen line 33 and double serum stoppers were put over the open ends of the adapters 34 and secured with copper wire. Double serum stoppers were also put over the neck of the feed bottle and secured with copper wire.
36 Finally, a stirrer assembly was put in place and attached to the 37 center neck of the reaction flask with tension hooks.
s 1 The flask and the bottle were then transferred to a hood and 2 connected to nitrogen lines, the flask through its side tube and the 3 bottle through a needle stuck through the double serum stopper. The 4 flask was then inserted in a temperature controlled bath, whic-h at this time was set at -8C, the stirrer attached to the stirrer motor, 6 and the stirring started at 300 rpm. Finally, the bottle and the 7 flask were connected with the help of syringe needles through a piece 8 of tubing that ran through a Masterflex pump.
9 When the contents of the reaction flask had reached the temperature of the thermostatted bath, the pump was started and TMA
11 solution allowed to flow into the reaction flask at a rate of 2.08 12 cc/min (0.6 9 TMA/min). The pump was stopped after 2 hours, at which 13 time 250 cc solution containing 72.1 9 (1 mole) TMA solution had been 14 added to the reaction flask. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for another hour at -8C, whereupon the temperature was increased to 16 0C. After 1 hour at this temperature, the temperature was increased 17 to 10C and after another hour to 20C, at which temperature the 18 stirred mixture was allowed to remain for 17.5 hours. The reaction 19 flask was then disconnected from the feed line, the stirrer motor, and the nitrogen line and brought into the dry box. The solids in the 21 flask were filtered off with mild vacuum in a fritted glass funnel and 22 washed with four 50 cc portions of dry toluene. The clear colorless 23 alumoxane solution had a volume~of 710 cc and was 1.12 molar with 24 respect to aluminum, corresponding to a yield of 79.5%, on the assump-tio~ that all TMA had been converted to alumoxane. The alumoxane 26 preparation was tested for polymerization activity as follows.
27 A one liter stainless steel pressure vessel, equipped with an 28 incline blade stirrer, a septum inlet, a vent line, an external water 29 jacket for temperature control, and inlets for regulated supply of dry 3d ethylene and nitrogen, was dried and deoxygenated with a flow of 31 nitrogen at 80C for 30 minutes. Five hundred cc toluene and 3.13 cc 32 (3.5 mmole) of the 1~12 molar alumoxane solution were injected 33 directly into the reaction vessel at room temperature, whereupon the 34 temperature was raised to 80C. After one minute at this temperature and at a pressure of 0 psig, 3.55 X 10 7 mole of bis(cyclopenta-36 dienyl)zirconium dichloride (Cp2ZrC12) was injected into the 37 reactor as a solution in 1 cc dry toluene. This established a molar ~L~ .5 1 Al/Zr ratio of 9860. Ethylene was thereafter introduced continuously 2 for 3 minutes so as to maintain a reactor pressure of 4 atm (gauge).
3 The reaction was terminated by rapidly venting and cooling the reactor 4 to room temperature. The recovered yield of dry high mol. wt. poly-ethylene was l3.3 9, corresponding to a polymerization rate of 2.05 X
6 lo6 9 polymer/g Zr h atm.
8 An alumoxane preparation was made with the same equipment and 9 according to the same general procedure as in Example l except that this time 49.9 9 (l/5th mole) of mortared CuS04 5H20 was used in 11 place of the FeS04 7H20 of the preceding example. Also, the 12 reaction time at 20C was 18 hours instead of l7.5 hours. The recov-13 ered filtered product amounted to 7lO ml of alumoxane that was l.l2 14 molar in Al for a yield of 79.5%, or the sarne as in the earlier examPle 16 When tested for catalyst activity under the same conditions 17 as in Example l, the alumoxane of this example produced 7.5 g of high 18 mol. wt. polyethylene in lO rninutes, corresponding to a rate of 19 0.347 X lO6 9 polymer/g Zr.h~atm.
21 In the preceding Example 2, the H20/Al ratio employed in 22 the alumoxane preparation was l while the same ratio in Example l was 23 l.4. However, as will be shown by the following two comparative 24 experiments, the optimum ratio for H20/Al with Cu504 5H20 was found to be about one rather than a higher value. The first exper-26 iment was carried out according to the procedure of Example l but with 27 CuS04 5H20 as the source of water and with the TMA addition made 28 to the salt slurry at 30C and subsequent stirring for another 2l 29 hours at this temperature. The yield was 723 ml of a solution 1.15 molar in Al. When tested under the previously described conditions, 31 Ithe alumoxane produced ll.0 g polyethylene in 4 minutes for a rate of 32 l.27 X lo6 9 polymer/g 7r-h-atm.
33 The second experiment was carried out with 62.5 g (l/4th 34 mole) CuS04 5H20 for a H20/Al ratio of l.25. After the reaction mixture had been stirred for l9 hours at 30C, a yield of 670 ml of a 36 solution l.ll molar in Al was obtained. When tested under the -8~ 5 l standard conditions of Example l, this alumoxane produced 4.5 grams of 2 polyethylene in 5 minutes for a rate of 0.4l7 X lO6 9 polymer/g 3 Zr.h-atm.
4 This shows that the activity of the alumoxane obtained with CuS04 5H20 does not increase if the H20/Al ratio is increased 6 substantially above unity. Apparently the water of crystallization is 7 released more readily and more completely from this sa1t than from 8 FeS04 7H20 under the conditions used in these experiments.
An alumoxane preparation was made according to the procedure 11 of Example l, except that the TMA addition to the FeS04 7H20 12 slurry in toluene was made at 0C. The mixture was stirred at this 13 temperature for l hour and at lOC for another hour and then, finally, 14 at 20C for l9 hours. The yield was 720 ml of a solution 0.96 molar in Al for a yield of 69.l%. The standard polymerization test was 16 modified relative to the previous examples in that only 2.5 mmoles of 17 alumoxane were used for an Al/Zr ratio of 7000. The yield was ll.7 9 18 polyethylene in 2 minutes for a rake of 2.7l X lO6 9 polymer/g Zr hr 19 atm.
21 An alumoxane preparation was made with CuS04 5H20 as the 22 source of water according to the method described for the first exper-23 iment of Example 3, i.e. with TMA added at 30C. However, in this 24 case the stirring was allowed to continue at this temperature for 69 hours. The yield was 720 ml of a solution 0.922 molar in Al or 66.2%
26 of the TMA employed.
27 When tested as in Example 4, i.e. at an Al/Zr ratio of 7000, 28 this preparation produced 9.8 9 polyethylene in 3 minutes for a rate 29 of l.5l X lC6 9 polymer/g Zr-h-atm.
This shows that the activity of alumoxane preparations made 31- with CuS04-5H20 can be improved by using very long reaction 32 times. However, this increase in activity, which is also associated 33 with a lower alumoxane yield, does not result in a preparation nearly 34 as active as the ones obtainable with FeS04 7H20.
