  • Publication number: 20230303736
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a homogeneous rare earth catalyst. In the present disclosure, a depolymerizing agent is introduced into the homogeneous rare earth catalyst to promote complete depolymerization of an alkyl aluminum trimer into monomolecular alkyl aluminum. As a result, there is an increase in the number of the alkyl aluminum which serves as an effective chain transfer agent, resulting in a greatly improved chain transfer rate, such that a polymerization system has completed the chain transfer in an early stage of the reaction. Accordingly, an aluminum terminal molecular chain has an increased concentration, leading to an accelerated exchange with an active center propagating chain and a decreased influence caused by an increased viscosity of the system, maintaining living polymerization of the system.

  • Patent number: 8350072
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing soluble neodymium chloride complex using neodymium chloride aqueous solution as raw material, thereby avoiding the use of anhydrous neodymium chloride, simplifying the synthesis process and reducing the cost for synthesizing neodymium chloride complex. The neodymium chloride complex produced by this method is soluble not only in polar solvent, but also in nonpolar solvent. Such neodymium chloride complex also has good dissolvability in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent which has relatively weaker solution power, and even in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent with 6 or less carbon atoms which has even lower solution power. Since neodymium chloride complex is soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, its transportation may be conducted, which is convenient for industrial application and contributes to improve the utilization efficiency of rare earth.
