A kind of liquid polyesters Catalysts and its preparation method and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of synthesizing polyester (polyethylene terephthalate, be called for short PET) Catalysts and its preparation method and applied technical field, be by antimony compounds and modifier combination in more detail and be dissolved in ethylene glycol, liquid antimony catalyst stable under preparing normal temperature, and the field this catalyzer being used for polyester synthesis.
Background technology
At present, during PET produces, custom catalysts is solid antimonous oxide, crystal antimony acetate or crystal antimony glycol, wherein antimony acetate and antimony glycol by antimonous oxide respectively with aceticanhydride and glycol reaction, through process manufactures such as crystallization, separation, dryings, when applying above-mentioned three kinds of solid chemical compounds as catalyst to synthesize ester, need again to be heated to be dissolved in ethylene glycol, and insulation stores.Its disadvantage existed is: one, because antimonous oxide, crystal antimony acetate or crystal antimony glycol under normal temperature are insoluble to ethylene glycol, hot digestion is needed to dissolve, and antimony acetate and glycol antimony catalyst in preparation process through heating for dissolving, crystallization, be separated, the process such as dry, need when synthesizing for polyester to reheat dissolving again, therefore the manufacture of prior art catalyzer and use procedure exist that energy consumption is high, high in cost of production defect; Two, in dissolution process, solid-state antimonous oxide, antimony acetate, antimony glycol easily deposit in dissolution equipment, local superheating disproportionation occurs and decomposes flavescence blackening, cause residual toxicity more than Sb in catalytic activity decline, polyester

0and affect polyester quality; Three, easy crystallization after heating for dissolving, makes troubles to application, and for preventing crystallization, the concentration of antimony generally needs to control below 1%, and simultaneous temperature needs to maintain 90 ~ 120 DEG C; Four, the antimony catalyst after dissolving at high temperature is placed for a long time, both wastes energy, and also easily disproportionation reaction occurs, and caused catalytic activity reduction etc.
Summary of the invention
Object of the present invention is exactly the disadvantage overcoming prior art existence, adopts new technical characteristic, provides liquid antimony catalyst of a kind of normal temperature and its preparation method and application.
In order to reach object of the present invention, the present invention passes through antimony compounds and modifier combination and is dissolved in ethylene glycol, make the antimony compounds of dissolving no longer easily occur crystallization, the liquid antimony-based catalyst of non-crystallizable precipitation under preparing a kind of normal temperature, and this kind of catalyzer is used for polyester synthesis.
The raw material antimony compounds of Kaolinite Preparation of Catalyst used in the present invention is antimonous oxide, antimony acetate and antimony glycol, due to the antimony compounds that antimonous oxide is the most basic, antimony acetate and antimony glycol are also all adopt antimonous oxide as raw material production, and also there is the pollutions such as toluene in antimony acetate production process, therefore, the preferred antimonous oxide of the present invention is as the raw material of Kaolinite Preparation of Catalyst.
In the present invention, the content of concentration in the liquid antimony catalyst solution made of antimony controls 2.0 ~ 6.0%; When antimony content is less than 2.0%, increase storage package transportation cost; When antimony content higher than 6.0% time, catalyzer stability in storage be deteriorated, easily separate out white depositions.
The properties-correcting agent selected in the present invention is lactic acid, citric acid, tartrate, tetramethylolmethane, both can be used alone in use, also can arbitrary combination use, conflict effect is not each other found in test, conveniently apply, the present invention preferably uses one wherein, and forms according to the mol ratio adjustment reactant of correspondence; Properties-correcting agent both can add with raw material before the reaction together, and also can add after antimony compounds and glycol reaction complete, the present invention preferably adds before the reaction together with raw material again, and experiment finds that the liquid catalyst stability of preparation is like this better than the latter; When preparing liquid catalyst, according to the difference of properties-correcting agent used, properties-correcting agent is different from the mol ratio of antimony, and wherein the mol ratio of lactic acid and antimony is preferably 0.84 ~ 3.37:1.0; The mol ratio of citric acid and antimony is preferably 0.32 ~ 1.9:1.0; The mol ratio of tartrate and antimony is preferably 0.24 ~ 3.0:1.0; The mol ratio of tetramethylolmethane and antimony is preferably 0.33 ~ 2.2:1.0; Find in application, when the mol ratio of properties-correcting agent and antimony is less than lower bound, the liquid catalyst made is unstable, easy precipitation white solid, along with the rising of properties-correcting agent and antimony mol ratio, make liquid catalyst stability also better, consider that cost factor and properties-correcting agent consumption too much also can bring disadvantageous effect to the molecular structure of polyester synthesis or polyester, the preferred aforementioned proportion scope of the present invention, and polymerization experiment investigation has been carried out to the liquid catalyst made.
In the preparation process of catalyzer of the present invention, when using antimonous oxide as raw material, itself and glycol reaction can produce water byproduct; When using antimony acetate as raw material, itself and glycol reaction can produce acetic acid; Using during antimony glycol does not then have by product to produce.Reaction dehydration or de-process of acetic acid both can at ambient pressure, and also can under reduced pressure carry out, the present invention preferably carries out at ambient pressure, and temperature of reaction is solution boiling temperature.
In the present invention, polyester inherent viscosity (η) represents the extent of polymerization of polyester, unit is the shorthand of dl/g(deciliters/grams), along with viscosity raises in aggregation test, power of agitator can raise or mixing speed can reduce, and determines reaction end accordingly; The test of η is by polyester being adopted Ben Fen ﹕ tetrachloroethane=1 ﹕ 1(mass ratio) mixed solution carry out dissolving and pass through determination of ubbelohde viscometer at 25 DEG C.
