Abstract

In this study, several (SiO₂ /MgO/ID/MClx/MgCl₂ )·TiClx Ziegler-Natta Catalysts are synthesized by a co-impregnation method to study a third metal (Zr, V, Fe, Mn, W) effect on catalytic performance in propylene polymerization. When the metal doping content is 10 wt% (compare to magnesium elements), the activity of W doped catalyst shows 60.0% higher. While the activity of Zr, V, Fe and Mn doped catalyst both decreased. Correlations of the catalyst activities with the iron radius and the electronegativity of the third metal elements are discussed. In the same doping content condition, metals have similar radius with Mg2+ have higher activity (Fe, Mn and W> V and Zr). The mechanism of Mn and W effects are discussed. The activity of 5 wt% and 3 wt% Mn doped catalyst is higher compared with the catalyst without doping. It means that the doping content also have an influence on the catalyst performance.
