[alicyclic epoxy resin and manufacture method thereof]
At first, for convenience of explanation, the manufacture method of alicyclic epoxy resin is described.The manufacture method of alicyclic epoxy resin of the present invention is characterised in that, with epoxy equivalent (weight) be 500~10000, the total content of alkali metal and periodictable the 15th family's element is 10ppm or the aromatic epoxy resin nuclear hydrogenationization below the 10ppm.
By with above-mentioned specific epoxy equivalent (weight), and the confined aromatic resin of total content of alkali metal and periodictable the 15th family's element (following sometimes they are called " specific impurities element ") can successfully carry out nuclear hydrogenationization with high hydrogenation rate as the nuclear hydrogenation raw material.By with high hydrogenation rate with such aromatic epoxy resin nuclear hydrogenationization, can obtain under the normal temperature being the excellent alicyclic epoxy resin of the solid transparency.
In the present invention, say more specifically that the alkali metal of specific impurities element is the element of selecting from lithium, sodium and potassium, the element of periodictable the 15th family is nitrogen and/or phosphorus.In addition, nuclear hydrogenationization is preferably carried out containing in the presence of the catalyzer of platinum family element, as the catalyzer that contains this platinum family element, especially preferably will support the catalyst precursor reduction of platinum family compound and the material that obtains on carrier.And, preferably make the aromatic epoxy resin coexistence during this catalyst precursor, and the nuclear hydrogenation of the reduction of catalyst precursor and aromatic epoxy resin be reflected in the same reaction system carry out simultaneously in reduction.The usage quantity of such catalyzer is 0.001~0.5 weight % with respect to the platinum family element conversion scale of aromatic epoxy resin preferably.
Like this, can make nuclear hydrogenation rate solid-state alicyclic epoxy resin high, high transparent expeditiously with few catalyzer usage quantity by using the special catalyst of specified quantitative.
The manufacture method of alicyclic epoxy resin of the present invention preferably includes: in the presence of hydrogenation catalyst, the aromatic nucleus of aromatic epoxy resin added hydrogenant nuclear hydrogenation reaction process and take out the refining step of hydrogenated epoxy resin from reaction mixture.
(supplying with the aromatic epoxy resin of nuclear hydrogenationization)
The aromatic epoxy resin of Shi Yonging is that epoxy equivalent (weight) is 500~10000, the specific impurities element in the present invention, promptly the total content of alkali metal and periodictable the 15th family's element be 10ppm or 10ppm following be the solid aromatic epoxy resin usually at normal temperatures.
If supply with that the epoxy equivalent (weight) of aromatic epoxy resin of nuclear hydrogenationization is low, during less than 500, the hydrogenated epoxy resin that obtains is for liquid, or softening temperature is low and the semi-solid that seriously is clamminess, opposite epoxy equivalent (weight) height, surpass at 10000 o'clock, because the reduction of nuclear hydrogenation rate is therefore not preferred.
The total content of the alkali metal of the aromatic epoxy resin that the present invention relates in addition, and periodictable the 15th family's element is 10ppm or below the 10ppm.Therefore, the reason of the content of the specific impurities element in the restriction aromatic epoxy resin is as follows.
That is, usually as the method for making the high-molecular weight aromatic epoxy resin, the method for (1) or (2) below carrying out, industrial, two kinds of methods all adopt.
(1) be the manufacture method (1 terrace work) of in the presence of alkali cpd bisphenol cpd and epihalohydrins being carried out condensation reaction, this method is to reduce the usage quantity of epihalohydrins with respect to bisphenol cpd, carries out the method that polymer quantizes.
(2) be that low-molecular-weight epoxy resin and the bisphenol cpd made by 1 terrace work are reacted in the presence of basic catalyst, carry out the method (2 terrace work) that polymer quantizes.
The alkali cpd that uses in 1 terrace work is inorganic alkaline compounds such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, yellow soda ash, salt of wormwood, and usually, aqueous sodium hydroxide solution uses with respect to the equivalent of epoxy group(ing) or more than the equivalent.The occasion of 1 terrace work, with respect to the reacting weight of epihalohydrins, alkali cpd uses equivalent or more than the equivalent, the alkali halide of filtering separation by-product, in addition, method such as optionally wash with water is removed salt.
On the other hand, in 2 terrace works, basic catalyst as the addition reaction that promotes epoxy group(ing) and phenol hydroxyl, can use triethylamine, Tributylamine, tertiary amines such as benzyldimethylamine, tetraethylammonium chloride, tetraethyl-ammonium bromide, quaternary ammonium salts such as bromination tetrabutylammonium, tributylphosphine, triphenylphosphine, phosphine classes such as three (Dimethoxyphenyl) phosphine, bromination Si Yi Ji Phosphonium, the Xiuization 4-butyl-phosphonium, quaternary phosphine salts such as iodate 4-butyl-phosphonium, lithium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, yellow soda ash, inorganic alkaline compounds such as salt of wormwood use about hundreds of ppm with respect to raw material epoxy resin.The occasion of the Resins, epoxy that obtains by 2 terrace works, usually do not separate the basic catalyst that the promotion catalyzer as addition reaction uses and make goods, this is because in order to simplify the manufacturing of Resins, epoxy, in addition, in other purposes, remaining basic catalyst can have problems hardly.
But, present inventors find, at the epoxy equivalent (weight) that will obtain with above-mentioned 1 terrace work or 2 terrace works is that 500~10000 aromatic epoxy resin is when carrying out the nuclear hydrogenation reaction as raw material, can make the nuclear hydrogenation catalyst deactivation owing to contain compound, the particularly alkaline matter of a spot of alkali metal or periodictable the 15th family's element, the nuclear hydrogenation reaction is suppressed, reaction stops, and therefore, can not improve the nuclear hydrogenation rate of Resins, epoxy.Relative therewith, for example, after above-mentioned high molecular aromatic Resins, epoxy building-up reactions is finished, refining resultant, the total content that obtains alkali metal or periodictable the 15th family's element is 10ppm or the following aromatic epoxy resin of 10ppm, by this having been reduced the aromatic epoxy resin nuclear hydrogenationization of specific impurities constituent content, can obtain the high solid-state hydrogenated epoxy resin of hydrogenation rate.
Like this, as the total content that obtains alkali metal and periodictable the 15th family's element is the method for 10ppm or the aromatic epoxy resin below the 10ppm, have no particular limits, can enumerate following method: for example, the resultant of reaction that 1 terrace work or 2 terrace works is obtained with pure water etc. clean 1 time or 2 times or 2 times with on carry out the purified method, in 2 terrace works, the resultant of reaction that 1 terrace work is obtained with pure water etc. clean again 1 time or 2 times or 2 times with on make with extra care after, carry out polymer again and quantize, once more with pure water etc. with this resultant of reaction clean 1 time or 2 times or 2 times with on carry out the purified method.In addition, also can before cleaning, aromatic epoxy resin be dissolved in the suitable organic solvent, distill the solvent of removing organic solvent then and clean with pure water.At this moment, as the organic solvent that uses, can enumerate hexone, toluene, dimethylbenzene etc.In addition, can reduce these specific impurities constituent contents by the method for using sorbent materials such as gac to carry out adsorption treatment.
Alkali metal as this specific impurities element is lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and periodictable the 15th family's element is nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P).In the present invention, with each content of these elements is 5ppm or below the 5ppm, total content (being the total content of Li, Na, K, N, P) is for 10ppm or below the 10ppm, 7ppm or below the 7ppm particularly, when especially the following aromatic epoxy resin of 5ppm or 5ppm is used as raw material, because the nuclear hydrogenation rate improves really, be preferred therefore.The basic metal in the Resins, epoxy or the analysis of phosphorus are by ICP luminescence analysis, ICP-MS analysis etc., and in addition, nitrogen is undertaken by known in the past methods such as total nitrogen analysis meters.
In addition, example as the aromatic epoxy resin that uses among the present invention, can enumerate bisphenol A type epoxy resin, bisphenol f type epoxy resin, 3,3 ', 5,5 '-tetramethyl--4,4 '-bisphenol-type epoxy resin, 4, the bisphenol-type epoxy resin that 4 '-bisphenol-type epoxy resin is such or bisphenol-A phenolic varnish type Resins, epoxy, naphthalene diol type Resins, epoxy etc.These aromatic epoxy resins can use a kind separately, also can mix use more than 2 kinds or 2 kinds.
Among these, as aromatic epoxy resin, preferred epoxy equivalent (weight) is 600~6000 bisphenol A type epoxy resin, bisphenol f type epoxy resin, wherein, as these aromatic epoxy resins,, therefore preferred because the resin effect of the present invention that 1 terrace work is made is remarkable.

When this catalyzer directly is used in the nuclear hydrogenation reaction not reducing, in the nuclear hydrogenation reaction system (in the presence of the hydrogen in liquid phase), rhodium compound is reduced to active state, shows high reactivity, just can carry out the nuclear hydrogenation reaction effectively with catalyzer usage quantity still less.
(nuclear hydrogenation reaction)
Nuclear hydrogenation reaction can come aromatic epoxy resin is carried out by hydrogen in the presence of reaction solvent and above-mentioned nuclear hydrogenation catalyzer.
The usage quantity of nuclear hydrogenation catalyzer is suitably selected in the scope that can obtain practical speed of response corresponding to various conditions such as temperature of reaction or reaction pressures.The catalyzer usage quantity can be reacted under low temperature, low pressure, short period of time for a long time, but catalyst costs increases, and is not economical therefore.In addition, when the catalyzer usage quantity was very few, speed of response was slack-off, was difficult to react in the common time.As the catalyzer usage quantity that is more preferably, with respect to aromatic epoxy resin 100 weight parts, convert with reactive metal (platinum family element), be 0.001~0.5 weight part, preferred 0.002~0.2 weight part, more preferred 0.003~0.1 weight part.Therefore, that uses the reactive metal for example supported 5 weight % is catalyst-loaded during as catalyzer, as the catalyzer usage quantity that comprises carrier, is 0.02~10 weight part with respect to aromatic epoxy resin 100 weight parts, preferred 0.04~4 weight part, more preferred 0.06~2 weight part.
As the reaction solvent of nuclear hydrogenation reaction, can enumerate for stabilized hydrogenation and can not make the ether solvent, esters solvent, alcoholic solvent, paraffinic solvent etc. of catalyst deactivation.Particularly, can preferably use ether-ether classes such as ester class, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate such as chains such as ether, isopropyl ether, methyl tertiary butyl ether, glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), diox, two oxa-s, penta ring or cyclic ethers, ethyl acetate, butylacetate etc.These solvents can also use more than 2 kinds or 2 kinds except that can using separately simultaneously.Wherein, preferred ether solvent or esters solvent, preferred especially esters solvent.
As esters solvent, from the operability aspect, the boiling point under the preferred normal pressure is the fatty acid ester of 50~180 ℃ of scopes, preferred especially acetic ester and propionic ester.Particularly, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butylacetate, methyl propionate, special ethyl acetate.
The usage quantity of reaction soln is generally 0.1~20, preferred 0.5~10 in the weight ratio with respect to the aromatic epoxy resin of raw material.When the amount of reaction solvent is very few, since the viscosity height of common raw material aromatic epoxy resin, the diffusion variation of hydrogen, speed of response reduces, and the selectivity of nuclear hydrogenation reaction reduces.When reaction solvent was too much, reaction vessel maximized, and also is disadvantageous in the recovery of resultant.Particularly, the aromatic epoxy resin that the big melt viscosity of molecular weight is high is during as raw material, and the quantity of solvent that needs is many, but the amount of reaction solvent is when too much, and productivity reduces, and is disadvantageous economically.
Temperature of reaction is generally 30~150 ℃, preferred 50~130 ℃.Reaction temperature is spent when hanging down, and speed of response reduces, and for finishing reaction, needs a large amount of hydrogenation catalyst and long-time.When temperature of reaction was too high, side reactions such as the hydrogenation decomposition of epoxy group(ing) increased, and the quality of goods descends.Reaction pressure is generally 1~30MPa, preferred 2~15MPa.Reaction pressure is crossed when hanging down, and speed of response reduces, and for finishing reaction, needs a large amount of hydrogenation catalyst and long-time.When reaction pressure was too high, therefore necessary equipment enlarging was disadvantageous economically.
As reactive mode, can be liquid phase suspension reaction or fixed bed reaction, but special preferred liquid phase suspension reaction.Hydrogen can import in the mode of circulation, also can only import the part that consumes.In addition, hydrogen can import and be dispersed in the liquid, also can be involved in from gas phase and is absorbed in the liquid with modes such as stirrings.
The terminal point of nuclear hydrogenation reaction can absorb monitor or sampling analysis is judged with hydrogen.
(post-treating method)
After reaction finishes, from the reaction mixture separating catalyst, then, heat up in a steamer the dereaction solvent, obtain the purpose resultant by distillation with operations such as filtration centrifugations.
But, after the nuclear hydrogenation reaction finishes, if only catalyzer is separated from reaction mixture simply, because reactive metal stripping etc. from catalyzer makes the hydrogenated epoxy resin that obtains painted, light penetration reduces, therefore, heat up in a steamer desolvate before, preferably handle by sorbent material.At this moment, after the nuclear hydrogenation reaction, can after separating hydrogenation catalyst, carry out adsorption treatment, not separate hydrogenation catalyst, sorbent material be joined in the reaction solution mix, catalyzer and sorbent material be carried out simultaneously the method for solid-liquid separation but also can adopt.If this method then is more easy, in addition, can also obtain to accelerate the effect of filtration velocity, be favourable therefore.
As above-mentioned sorbent material, can enumerate, solid alkaline compounds such as gac, atlapulgite, ion exchange resin, synthetic adsorbent, magnesium oxide etc. wherein, preferably contain magnesian compound and gac, preferred especially magnesium oxide.
Above-mentioned adsorption treatment also can be carried out with the any-mode that the contact in batches of adopting powder sorbent is handled, handled to the circulation of sorbent material packing layer.As powder sorbent, preferably using median size is the sorbent material of 1~1000 μ m, and as granulated sorbent, preferably using median size is the sorbent material of 1~10mm.
The usage quantity of sorbent material is according to the kind of reaction conditions or sorbent material and different, but with respect to the Resins, epoxy that is included in the process object liquid, is generally 0.01~100 weight %, preferred 0.1~20 weight %, more preferred 0.2~10 weight %.During the usage quantity less than 0.01 weight % of sorbent material, can not give full play to the result of use of sorbent material, when surpassing 100 weight %, the loss of goods increases.
The temperature of adsorption treatment is generally 0~100 ℃, preferred 10~80 ℃.In addition, the state of adsorption treatment preferably contains the state of solvent from aspects such as operability, the rate of recovery, adsorption efficiencies.Solvent types has no particular limits so long as the solvent of dissolved epoxy gets final product, but adopts the refining step of absorption to carry out before concentration of reaction solution usually, the therefore preferred reaction solvent that directly uses.The content of solvent is generally 5~80 weight % with the densitometer in the process object liquid, is more preferably 10~50 weight %.When the amount of solvent was very few, the viscosity of process object liquid uprised, and adsorption efficiency reduces.
After having carried out such aftertreatment, usually with 50~220 ℃, preferred 70~180 ℃ condition is heated up in a steamer from the epoxy resin solution that has separated catalyzer or sorbent material and is desolvated, and cooling curing obtains water white solid-state hydrogenated epoxy resin then.
Below, to alicyclic epoxy resin of the present invention, that is, solid-state alicyclic epoxy resin (hydrogenated epoxy resin) describes.The feature of alicyclic epoxy resin of the present invention is to satisfy the regulation of following (a)~(d).
