The introduction of a modulator after particle formation can effectively modulate the macroscopic features and crystalline structure of Mg(OEt)2, resulting in improved performance in propylene polymerization. Organic compounds with higher polarity were found to cause strong modulation of Mg(OEt)2, allowing for particle and pore engineering of the final catalyst.
A synthetic scheme for particle engineering of magnesium ethoxide (Mg(OEt)2) as a solid precursor for olefin polymerization catalysts was presented based on the exploitation of various organic compounds as a modulator in a post-addition step. It was found that the introduction of a modulator after the particle formation helped to modulate the macroscopic features and the crystalline structure of Mg(OEt)2 to the great extent without destructing the macroparticle morphology. Different types of organic compounds were exploited and their influences on the Mg(OEt)2 structural features were investigated. It was found that organic compounds with higher polarity caused strong modulation of Mg(OEt)2, which allowed particle and pore engineering of the final catalyst, and in turn its performance in propylene polymerization.
