  • Publication number: 20180030166
    Abstract: Provided are a catalyst composition and a method of oligomerizing olefins using the same. When the catalyst composition according to the present invention is used, oligomerization and copolymerization of olefin monomers may be performed in a single reactor at the same time with high efficiency without a separate process of preparing alpha-olefin. Therefore, costs for preparing or purchasing comonomers which are expensive raw materials may be reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of a final product. Contents of SCB (short chain branch) and LCB (long chain branch) in the polyolefin may be increased without separate feeding of comonomers, thereby producing high-quality linear low-density polyethylene.

  • Publication number: 20170305811
    Abstract: The method for oligomerizing olefin according to the present disclosure is a method for oligomerizing olefin using an oligomerization catalyst system and includes deteriorating the activity of the oligomerization catalyst system by injecting a deactivator in a latter part of a multimerization reaction of olefin. The deactivator may include an additive for polymer containing at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, an amine group and an amide group. According to the oligomerizing method, the isomer of 1-hexene and/or 1-octene and alpha-olefins with C10 to C40 may be decreased via the restraint of the additional side reaction of a product. Since the deactivator is an additive for enhancing the physical properties of a polymer, a separating process thereof is not required, thereby improving economic feasibility and productivity.
