According to the present invention, above-mentioned polyelectrolyte for dispersing aqueous inorganic color stuffing is to adopt the one-step synthesis process preparation, and the characteristic of this synthesis technique is; Be the aqueous solution of inorganic carbonate is added still earlier as one of reactant at the bottom of, be added dropwise to the bottom to acrylic monomer, make it soon to be neutralized to acrylate; Have the lower acrylate of partial solubility to separate out with crystalline form earlier in the system, and the acrylate that is dissolved in the water carry out polymerization under action of evocating, along with the increase of the polymerization degree; Impel the acrylate of crystalline state constantly soluble in water, and then carry out polymerization, carry out so repeatedly; Finally make the aqueous solution of water-soluble fabulous polyacrylic salt; The polymerization degree of polymkeric substance is controlled with water-soluble chain transfer agent, and after polymerization was accomplished, free monomer radical was removed through the reaction heat in the reaction process.
That is to say; The present invention adopts single stage method to synthesize to gather (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium, lithium) salt brine solution [followingly to be the convenient meter of narration; With " (methyl) vinylformic acid is represented methyl-prop diluted acid or vinylformic acid], this is different from the two step method described in the background technology in front.This technology is applicable to the synthetic of (methyl) vinylformic acid and multipolymer, water-soluble (methyl) propenoate and multipolymer thereof, (methyl) acrylate (sodium, potassium, lithium) aqueous solution.One-step synthesis process is with yellow soda ash, and salt of wormwood, the aqueous solution of Quilonum Retard etc. add at the bottom of the still earlier as one of reactant; Then water-soluble (methyl) propenoate and multipolymer thereof are added dropwise to the bottom, make it soon to be neutralized to (methyl) acrylate, have lower (methyl) acrylate of partial solubility to separate out with crystalline form earlier in the system; (methyl) acrylate that is dissolved in the water then carries out polymerization under action of evocating, it is soluble in water to gather (methyl) acrylate, along with the increase of the polymerization degree; Impel (methyl) acrylate of crystalline state constantly soluble in water; And then carry out polymerization, and carry out so repeatedly, finally can make water-soluble fabulous gathering (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium; Potassium, lithium) aqueous solution.The polymerization degree of superpolymer can be controlled with water-soluble chain transfer agent.After polymerization was accomplished, free monomer radical can and add the oxidation reductive agent through reacting by heating and remove.Utilize the step-by-step polymerization of sodium acrylate salt brine solution to be easy to control molecular weight, heat release is even after the heat release, can control molecular weight preferably.
The advantage of above-mentioned one-step synthesis process is conspicuous:
1. low when liberated heat is than (methyl) acroleic acid polymerization in (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium, lithium) polymerization process, and the solubleness of (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium, lithium) in water is lower than (methyl) vinylformic acid.The former can be considered polymerization under lower concentration, and the latter carries out under higher concentration, and reaction is violent, and is wayward, and MWD is uneven.Otherwise the polymerization process of (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium, lithium) is easy to control, even molecular weight distribution.
2. generate carbonic acid gas in (methyl) vinylformic acid and carbonic acid (sodium, potassium, the lithium) N-process; The gaseous volatilization process is an endothermic process, this process and (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium; Lithium) the polymeric exothermic process is convenient to take away heat of polymerization when carrying out synchronously, and stable polymerization reaction is carried out.And all being better than use oxyhydroxide with the product colour outward appearance that carbonic acid (sodium, potassium, lithium) neutralization obtains neutralizes.
3. when (methyl) vinylformic acid rate of addition is very fast, can convert excessive (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium, lithium) to crystal (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium; Potassium, lithium), this can not increase water-soluble that part of (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium, potassium; Lithium) concentration, when the polymerization degree increases, crystal (methyl) vinylformic acid (sodium; Potassium, lithium) can be dissolved because monomer concentration in the solution is not enough, thus play the effect of regulating polymerization velocity.
4. the notable attribute of single stage method is its technology mode, and having made full use of the great amount of heat energy that discharges in the reaction process comes the trigger monomer polymerization, and has simplified operation steps, has improved production efficiency, and this obviously is superior to two-step process.This method has reached energy saving purposes, is very suitable for industrial production.
Embodiment
With embodiment the present invention is further specified below, but the present invention is in no way limited to these embodiment.
Embodiment 1
Adopt the synthetic preparation of the inventive method sodium polymethacrylate aqueous solution dispersion agent, concrete reaction formula is:
In the following formula: n is the polymerization degree, gets n=23, Mw=2486 in this example.
The prescription that reaction is formed
Component (1) yellow soda ash 35.2g
Ammonium persulphate 0.55g
Deionized water 80g
Amount to 115.75g
Component (2) methylacrylic acid 57g
Inferior sodium phosphate 0.5g
Deionized water 5.5g
Amount to 60g
Device and operating process that this example is used are following:
Adorn controlled fast whisking appliance on the 500ml ground four-hole boiling flask, load onto TM, reflux condensing tube, constant pressure funnel on other each mouthfuls respectively.Component (1) is dropped in the reaction flask, begin to drip component (2) under stirring.Initial reaction stage, because of the sodium polymethacrylate salt that generates does not reach capacity, reaction solution is clear; When splashing into methylacrylic acid more for a long time, sodium methacrylate reaches hypersaturated state, and it is muddy that reaction solution is; Along with further carrying out of polyreaction; System is separated out sodium salt of methacrylic acid, is accompanied by a large amount of heat releases, discharges a large amount of dioxide gass simultaneously.Because of emitting of dioxide gas, temperature of reaction system is constant basically.After methylacrylic acid drips off, become clear, along with carbon dioxide releasing amount reduces gradually, system viscosity begins to increase to some extent.Specific as follows:
Reaction solution places 40 ℃ of baking ovens to react
Can know from this routine experimental result:
1. the inventive method is used for the methylacrylic acid polymerization, and it is very slowly steady that reaction is carried out, and is convenient to the controlled polymerization process, when arriving requirement of products viscosity (molecular weight), can make reaction terminating.
2. well-known, during two step method aqueous polymerization methylacrylic acid,, prepare polymethyl acrylic acid because the quick growth of its molecular weight can be separated out it very soon from aqueous phase, must in solvent, carry out, then neutralize again and remove solvent.The one-step technology that adopts the present invention to propose can be simplified synthesis technique.
3. the polymethyl acrylic acid high molecular free radical is longer in the low temperature aqueous phase survival time, utilizes its collision of radical slowly, makes that increasing molecular weight extremely is easy to control, and after reaching molecular weight, heating can be accomplished whole polymerization process rapidly.
4. polymethyl acrylic acid has lower wetting ability than ROHM, and its sodium-salt aqueous solution then solution viscosity than polyacrylic acid sodium salt is big.Its difference is that methyl is arranged on the main chain, and this makes it different with polyacrylic acid sodium salt on dispersing property.
