Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of detection method of high molecular polymer free chlorine ion, be specifically related to a kind of detection method of free chlorine ions in polyisobutylene, belong to chemical technology field.
Background technology
Polyisobutylene is a class industrialization polyolefin, is widely used in all many-sides such as lubricating oil, rubber, bonding agent, plastifier, softening agent, electrically insulating material, encapsulant, gasoline cleaning agent and chewing gum base glue.Polyisobutylene is to be made through cationic polymerization process by the monomer isobutylene, generally adopts lewis acid (Lewis) as cationic polymerization initiators, as AlCl
3, SnCl
4, TiCl
4and BF
3deng.Catalyzer in polymerizate removes by alkali cleaning and water elution.For specific inductive capacity, electrical insulating property, the thermal stability that does not affect the polyisobutylene product, the polyisobutylene of medical grade and food stage particularly, need to control the chloride ion content in product, such as, BASF Aktiengesellschaft requires to be less than 5ppm to the chloride ion content in the polyisobutylene product of the relevant trade mark.Therefore the content detection of chloride ions in polyisobutylene proposed to very high requirement.
Detection method for chlorion mostly concentrates on chlorion detection in aqueous solution.As Cl ~-Monitoring in boiler water, in potable water, chlorion detects, in sewage chlorion detect, Cl ~-Monitoring etc. in lime slurry.Testing sample is aqueous solution, can directly measure chlorine ion concentration.In organism, the detection of chlorion also has patent report, as chlorion in organic amine detects, and chlorion detection etc. in smooth liquid.Patent documentation CN101587093 provides the wet-leveling liquid chlorine ion content determination method.This chlorine ion content determination has adopted the method for calcining, makes the organic amine material carbonization of constraint chlorion, forms the inorganics of solubility, makes chlorion dissociate out, utilizes potentiometric titration to record.Patent documentation CN102253101A discloses a kind of method for detecting chloride ions in polyisobutylene method and has mainly comprised the steps: (1) polyisobutylene pre-service.Polyisobutylene sample low temperature brittleness in liquid nitrogen, and sample is ground into to the particle of particle diameter 100~200 μ m; (2) sample is burning containing oxygenation in the oxygen Molotov cocktail of absorption liquid, and chlorion is absorbed liquid and fully absorbs; (3) with the chloride ion content in the potentiometric determination absorption liquid; (4) calculate the content of chloride ions in polyisobutylene.The present invention adopts the liquid nitrogen quenching method, makes polyisobutylene become brittle solid, and is treated to very little granularity, utilizes combustion method, and the chlorine element in polyisobutylene is effectively separated out, thereby detects content of Cl element in the polyisobutylene polymkeric substance.
For the trace impurity in polymkeric substance (as chlorion), because be covered by organic polymer, can't direct-detection, need the pre-service through sample.At present, mainly adopt ashing method for the preprocess method of polyisobutylene, if any high temperature furnace dry ashing, plasma oxygen low temperature dry ashing, oxygen bomb (oxygen bottle) firing method.These methods all need special device, the condition harshness.Adopt the free chloro ion in dissolving precipitated method separation and Extraction polyisobutylene, utilize the ion chromatography electric conductivity detector to detect, by calculating chlorion chromatogram peak area, determine chloride ion content, the method has no report.
Summary of the invention
For the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a kind of detection method of free chlorine ions in polyisobutylene.
The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
Terminological interpretation
The chromatography of ions: chromatography of ions is according to ion exchange principle, and the difference of moving on ion exchange column based on different ions is carried out the component in sample separation, and by galvanochemistry or fluorescence detector detected components.Chlorion is different from other negative ion to the relative affinity of low capacity strongly basic anionic resin (separating column), so chlorion has specific retention time.Chlorion is when the strong acidic ion resin of flowing through (suppressed column), be converted into the acid type that high electricity is led, carbonate-supercarbonate becomes the carbonic acid that light current is led, the chlorion that detector measures is converted into corresponding acid type is led in electricity consumption, compare with standard, according to chromatography of ions peak height or peak area, quantitatively calculate ion concentration.
Chemical titration: the chlorion chemical titration is that the silver nitrate standard solution of known accurate concentration is added drop-wise in the aqueous solution of chloride ion-containing, to add, amount and the chlorion of silver nitrate react completely just by stoichiometric relationship, make indicator with potassium chromate, the AgNO of excessive dropping
3solution will with chromate ion (CrO
4 2-) generation Ag
2crO
4brick-red precipitation, the indication titration end-point.Then according to the concentration of added silver nitrate standard solution and the volume consumed, calculate the content of chlorion.
Potentiometric titration: the ultimate principle of potentiometric titration is similar to chemical titration, and its difference is that the definite of terminal is to determine titration end-point by the hop of electrode potential.Before and after the chlorion titration end-point, the concentration of silver ions in liquid to be measured often changes several orders of magnitude, causes the hop of current potential, and the titration end-point judgement easily, accurately.The content of tested chlorion calculates by the amount that consumes the silver nitrate standard solution.
