Background technology
In industrial processes, as food fermentation, bio-pharmaceuticals, papermaking, textile sizing, petrochemical industry, industrial cleaning, coating, latex etc., all can produce many foams, need froth breaking fast and effeciently.Adding defoamer is the most frequently used method, and the kind of defoamer is a lot, as natural oil lipid, long carbochain alcohols, long carbochain amide-type, polyethers, defoamer such as polysiloxane-based.
The natural oil defoamer can directly extract from natural products as rape oil, soya-bean oil, corn wet goods, and is cheap and easy to get; But the natural oil defoamer is insoluble in water, only the liquid surface foam is had the froth breaking effect, can not drive, eliminate the foam that is scattered in liquid internal, and the not anti-storage of natural oil, easily become sour rottenly, influences antifoam performance.
By polyglycerol is introduced natural oil, can effectively improve the hydrophily of this defoamer, as: U.S. Pat 5429718 discloses a kind of polyglycerol defoamer, the degree of polymerization of glycerine is 3~6, esterification degree is 15~85%, can be used for the slurrying of paper industry, the operation of copying generation foams such as paper, plain boiled water circulation, pigment dispersion, coating coating, do not need the composite of auxiliary defoamer.Chinese patent CN1721031 discloses a kind of industrial defoaming agent, glycerine is aggregated into the degree of polymerization under the catalyst condition be 2~10 polymerization glycerine, mass ratio adding fatty acid glyceride or aliphatic acid carry out ester exchange in accordance with regulations then, obtain defoamer, can be used for technologies such as papermaking, sugaring, fermentation.Because the viscosity very big (particularly the degree of polymerization was above 6 o'clock) of polyglycerol has a strong impact on the use of defoamer; Because the hydrophilic radical of polyglycerol defoamer is closely wrapped up by a plurality of lipophilic groups, being difficult to influences antifoam performance in the aqueous phase diffusion in addition.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of preparation method of defoamer, prepared defoamer has good froth breaking effect, applied range, and the preparation method is simple, and cost is low.
A kind of preparation method of defoamer comprises:
(1) catalyst dissolution is mixed with glycerine behind water, reacts 0.5~2 hour down at 110~200 ℃, removes the free water in the reaction system; Reacted 2.5~4.5 hours down at 235~280 ℃, remove the water that reaction generates, the average degree of polymerization that obtains degree of polymerization distribution comparison homogeneous is 2~15 polyglycerol, and preferred average degree of polymerization is 3~8 polyglycerol;
(2) in the product that step (1) obtains, add expoxy propane, oxirane, under the catalyst identical, ring-opening polymerization takes place, obtain the poly-alkoxyl ether of polyglycerol at 80~140 ℃ with step (1); Wherein the mass ratio of polyglycerol, expoxy propane and oxirane is 1:0~50:0~25, and the amount of expoxy propane, oxirane is not zero simultaneously; Control the polymerization order by expoxy propane, oxirane monomers charging sequence, make that the polymerisation of polyglycerol and expoxy propane, oxirane can be the block or the atactic polymerization of random order; Residual catalyst reacts in the product that ring-opening polymerization also can be directly obtains by step (1); Wherein but catalyst consumption is the amount of catalysis ring-opening polymerization, generally is no more than 5/1000ths of the poly-alkoxyl ether total amount of polyglycerol.
(3) with poly-alkoxyl ether of the polyglycerol of step (2) preparation and C
12~C
22Aliphatic acid carries out esterification and obtains defoamer under esterification catalyst catalysis; Poly-alkoxyl ether of polyglycerol and C

22The mass ratio of aliphatic acid is 30%~100% to adjust by the esterification degree of the poly-alkoxyl ether of polyglycerol; Esterification degree is meant that the hydroxyl value of esterification and the ratio of total hydroxyl value take advantage of 100%.
Described catalyst is one or both in potassium hydroxide, the NaOH.
Described esterification catalyst is conventional esterification catalyst, a kind of in preferred p-methyl benzenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, the solid acid.
Described C
12~C
22Aliphatic acid can be one or more in straight chain, side chain, saturated, the unrighted acid arbitrarily.
The present invention has following advantage:
The present invention is initiator with the polyglycerol, in the presence of catalyst, cause the polymerization of expoxy propane, oxirane, obtain the poly-alkoxyl ether of polyglycerol, terminal hydroxy group to the poly-alkoxyl ether of polyglycerol carries out esterification then, obtain defoamer, the preparation method of this defoamer is simple, does not need to handle residue.
Compare with the polyglycerol fatty acid ester, the poly-alkoxyl ether fatty acid ester defoamer of the polyglycerol of the present invention's preparation, longer hydrophilic chain link, longer oleophylic chain link are arranged in its molecule, viscosity is low, helping defoamer disperses at aqueous phase, also help on the liquid film of foam, adsorbing, improved the efficient of froth breaking; Simultaneously by changing the amount and the esterification degree of expoxy propane, oxirane, can regulate hydrophilic hydrophobic balance value (being the HLB value), the molecular weight of defoamer easily, the scope of application of defoamer is increased, be applicable to that nearly all needs carry out the production technology of froth breaking.
