Fluorine-containing phosphate surfactant and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of surfactants, in particular to a fluorine-containing phosphate surfactant and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The fluorine surfactant has special performance of three high and two high, and is attracted by people increasingly, is the highest surface activity of all the surfactants at present, is mainly applied to special occasions with higher technical requirements or fields which are difficult to be met by common surfactants and have poorer application effects, and the fluorine-containing hydrocarbon group of the fluorine surfactant is hydrophobic and oleophobic [ new chemical material, 2004,32(8):46 ]. The fluorine-containing surfactant gradually develops to the environment-friendly type, high surfactant and low cost in the 21 st century. The fluorine-containing surfactant developed in foreign countries and China mainly takes 8-carbon perfluorooctyl as raw materials to synthesize various fluorine surfactants. Various experimental researches show that perfluorooctyl sulfonyl compounds (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid and salts thereof (PFOA) compounds hardly undergo any observable degradation under various physical and chemical conditions, are one of the most difficult degradable organic pollutants in the world at present, and have high bioaccumulation and human multi-organ toxicity. Thus, in the end of 2006, the european union formally issued PFOS sales and use restriction instructions. According to the predictions of international environmental scientists, PFOS/PFOA-containing surfactants and finishes have in recent years been used only to a limited extent globally until complete disablement.
Now, it is urgent to develop substitutes for PFOS and PFOA. The branched fluorocarbon surfactant developed by taking hexafluoropropylene trimer as a raw material is easy to degrade under various physical and chemical conditions, has small biological accumulation, and is an ideal substitute of PFOS/PFOA, U.S. DuPont reports a process flow of telomerizing ethylene, tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkyl iodide in a patent US 8049040B 2, and then preparing the ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene phosphate composition fluorocarbon anionic surfactant through a series of reaction steps, the surfactant obtained in the patent has excellent surface performance, but the telomerization process of ethylene, tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkyl iodide is complex, the yield is low, the cost is high, the industrialization is difficult, a new process for preparing the perfluoroalkyl phosphate fluorocarbon anionic surfactant by taking hexafluoropropylene dimer as a raw material is reported in a patent US20110092410A1, the process has too many reaction steps and complex process, and expensive reagents such as cesium fluoride, bromopropylene and the like are adopted, the production cost is high, and patent WO 9104978(JP 3123786A) reports a preparation method of monophosphate ester fluorocarbon anionic surfactant, but the raw material does not contain omega-H fluorinated alkyl alcohol, so that the raw material is difficult to obtain, and the production cost is high.

The oil phase and the water phase are mixed by stirring and the like, wherein the oil phase and the water phase are immiscible, and one phase is dispersed in the other phase in the form of micro-spherical liquid drops to form a thermodynamically unstable system. In order to stabilize the resulting emulsion for a longer period of time, it is necessary to add a component that lowers its interfacial tension (i.e., an emulsifier) to make an unstable dispersion relatively stable. The emulsifying force is closely related to the interfacial tension, the lower the interfacial tension, the easier the emulsification, and from the above table, it can be known that the fluorinated phosphate ester surfactant has a lower interfacial tension and can be widely used as an emulsifier in the polymerization of fluoropolymers.

Oil repellency is indicated by the maximum score of the test fluid by the test. The oil repellency was rated 8 grades, which were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in order from the poor grade to the excellent grade. The evaluation criteria are shown in Table 4:
