Abstract

The present invention relates to a supported hybrid catalyst system for ethylene slurry polymerization and a method for preparing ethylene polymer therewith. The supported hybrid catalyst system according to the present invention may exhibit high activity during ethylene slurry polymerization, and enables preparation of an ethylene polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution but excellent processability.

Claims (23)

1. A supported hybrid catalyst system for ethylene slurry polymerization, comprising

a carrier and three or more kinds of metallocene compounds supported on the carrier,

wherein the three or more kinds of metallocene compounds comprise at least one metallocene compound having the following structural formula:

at least one metallocene compound represented by the following structural formula:

and at least one metallocene compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following structural formulas:

2. The supported hybrid catalyst system for ethylene slurry polymerization according to claim 1 , wherein the supported hybrid catalyst system further comprises one or more cocatalysts selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following Chemical Formulas 7 to 9:

—[Al(R 71 )—O] c —  [Chemical Formula 7]

wherein, in Chemical Formula 7,

c is an integer of 2 or more; and

each R 71 is each independently a halogen, or a C1-20 hydrocarbyl or C1-20 hydrocarbyl substituted with a halogen,

D(R 81 ) 3   [Chemical Formula 8]

wherein, in Chemical Formula 8,

D is aluminum or boron; and

each R 81 is independently a halogen, or a C1-20 hydrocarbyl or C1-20 hydrocarbyl group substituted with a halogen,

[L-H] + [Q(E) 4 ] −   [Chemical Formula 9]

wherein, in Chemical Formula 9,

L is a neutral Lewis base;

[L-H] + is a Bronsted acid;

Q is boron or aluminum in an oxidation state of +3; and

each E is independently a halogen having a hydrogen valence of one or more, or a C6-20 aryl or C1-20 alkyl unsubstituted or substituted with a C1-20 hydrocarbyl, alkoxy, or phenoxy functional group.

3. The supported hybrid catalyst system for ethylene slurry polymerization according to claim 2 , wherein the cocatalyst is one or more selected from the group consisting of trimethyl aluminum, triethyl aluminum, triisopropyl aluminum, triisobutyl aluminum, ethylaluminum sesquichloride, diethylaluminum chloride, ethyl aluminum dichloride, methylaluminoxane, and modified methylaluminoxane.

4. A method for preparing an ethylene polymer, comprising the step of slurry polymerization of olefin monomers including ethylene in the presence of the supported hybrid catalyst system according to claim 1 .

5. The method for preparing an ethylene polymer according to claim 4 , wherein the ethylene polymer has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 50,000 to 150,000, a polydispersity index of 2.5 to 3.5, a melt index of 7.0 to 8.5 g/10 min (190° C., 2.16 kg), and a spiral flow of 20 to 30 cm measured according to ASTM D 3123-09.
