Abstract
Methods for synthesizing a water-soluble titanium-silicon complex are disclosed herein. The titanium-silicon complex can be utilized to produce titanated solid oxide supports and titanated chromium supported catalysts. The titanated chromium supported catalysts subsequently can be used to polymerize olefins to produce, for example, ethylene based homopolymer and copolymers.
Claims27
A process for preparing a titanated chromium supported catalyst, the process comprising:
- (1) contacting a silicon compound with water and an acid or a base in a solvent to form a first solution containing a partially-hydrolyzed silicon material;
- (2) contacting a titanium compound with the first solution containing the partially-hydrolyzed silicon material to form a second solution containing a titanium-silicon complex;
- and
- (3) combining a chromium-containing compound, at least a portion of the second solution containing the titanium-silicon complex, a solid support, and optionally, additional water, and drying to form the titanated chromium supported catalyst.
