A method of it is continuously washed for fluoropolymer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of methods continuously washed for fluoropolymer.
Background technology
Fluoropolymer has excellent weatherability, electrical insulating property, chemical-resistant, corrosion resistance and resistant of high or low temperature
Can, it is widely used in fields such as aviation, automobile, oil and chemical industry.Emulsion polymerization is the important of fluoropolymer preparation
One of technique, including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Kynoar, perfluoroethylene-propylene, tetrafluoraoethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, inclined fluorine
The method that emulsion polymerization can be used in ethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, ethylene-chlorotrifluoro-ethylene copolymer etc..And emulsion polymerization
It is most important the disadvantage is that aftertreatment technology is complex, need by processes such as filtering, demulsification, washing, drying, granulations.It is domestic
Numerous studies are carried out to emulsion after-treatment technology outside, it is intended to improve production efficiency, reduce production cost.
In the prior art, there is described below washing process after being demulsified for fluoropolymer:
(1)After washing process is resin demulsification after traditional fluoropolymer demulsification, deionized water is added, stirring is opened
Promote the ion exchange of resin and water, then water layer is removed by modes such as stratification or centrifugations, it is repeated multiple times until resin
Middle impurity residual quantity is less than index.This method frequent operation, and detersive efficiency is low, and water consumption is big, generally requires 6 times or more
Washing is just up to standard.
(2)Chinese patent CN102875711A elaborate polyvinylidene fluoride emulsion cohesion prepared by a kind of emulsion polymerization and
The new method of resin washing.Toner grain size is smaller after the patent thinks the cohesion that traditional handicraft obtains, and the resin of cohesion is in
Paste is unfavorable for washing in next step.The patented invention is by using freezing demulsification and the united method of mechanical agitation Shearing demulsification
It is 200 μm or so of toner to be demulsified to lotion and obtain grain size, and studies and obtained washing pure water preferable temperature, excellent
Select number and single wash preferred time.It, be first although this method reduces washing times and wash time to a certain extent
By freezing demulsification, reusable heat water washing, energy consumption is larger.
(3)Chinese patent CN102838820A describes a kind of aftertreatment technology of fluoropolymer.The patent is by fluorine-containing tree
The units such as emulsion breaking, washing, dehydration, the exhaust of fat are integrated into a set of extruder with different operation region.It is squeezing out
The different zones of machine realize different functions.It was demulsified before this to lotion with high steam, and fluoropolymer after demulsification
Enter washing dehydration region together in molten condition and water, multiple washing dehydration is carried out to molten fluoropolymer, until surface
Activating agent residual is less than 10ppm.Fluoropolymer enters vacuum area and is exhausted after washing is qualified, and moisture content is down to 0.1%
Hereinafter, entering back into comminutor granulation.The method is will again to be washed after fluoropolymer melt, is not suitable for thermosetting polymer, and
It is unable to get powder product.
