A kind of PPG process for purification for reducing VOC content and smell
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of refined side for reducing VOC (VOC) content and smell in PPG
Method.
Background technology
PPG is the important source material of polyurethane material, and polyurethane material has be widely used in the automotive industry.
Because people are increasingly paid close attention to environment protection health, it is desirable to which vapour in-car smell is low, automobile polyurethane material prepared by common polyether
There is certain smell, be after testing the smell of mainly some aldehyde materials.This is because the synthesis of PPG is adopted substantially
It is initiator with small molecule polyol or amine, is catalyzed expoxy propane using base metal catalysts or epoxyethane ring-expansion polymerization is formed
Macromolecule polyalcohol, containing the presence of catalyst metal ion, unreacted monomer and oligomer in the PPG after polymerization,
So these impurity need to be removed through process for refining.Process for refining at present using it is most be by acid adding and rear using absorption
Agent carries out adsorption filtration process.Then can there is the acid of residual in the PPG after neutralization, after high temperature dehydration
Smell can be produced, and the side reaction produced in polymerization process easily generates some aldehyde materials, is commonly refining
It is difficult to remove these impurity in journey, affects the VOC content of polyethers.
The A of Chinese patent CN 101775132 describe it is a kind of do not need acid adding process for refining, at 60-120 DEG C, use
Account for the water of the 0.1-10% of thick ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol gross mass and using two kinds of adsorbents, carry out 2-3 absorption, be filtrated to get low smell
PPG.The adsorbent for wherein using is magnesium silicate and diatomite.But its absorption number of times is excessive, and cost is bigger than normal.
Some producers purify PPG with falling film evaporator, however it is necessary that apparatus expensive, and can not go completely
Except the polyethers smell for existing.
The content of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a kind of process for purification of the PPG of low VOC, the PPG is in alkali
Under metallic catalyst effect, it is obtained by initiator and oxyalkylene reaction, it is characterized by, first add in crude polyoxyalkylene polyol and account for
Stirring is opened after the self-control adsorbent of crude polyoxyalkylene polyol gross mass 0.5-2%, after being warmed up to predetermined temperature, is stirred 1 hour, drop
Temperature adds the water of thick polyethers gross mass 0.5-15% to after predetermined temperature, is stirred for 1 hour, opens vacuum system and simultaneously
Heat up and remove moisture and low-boiling-point substance in crude polyoxyalkylene polyol, the qualified rear press filtration of analysis moisture obtains finished product.
Optimal technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
One kind reduces the PPG process for purification of VOC (VOC) content and smell, it include as
Lower step:
Step 1, adsorbent is added in refined PPG is treated, described adsorbent is that magnesium silicate is mixed with alumina silicate
Compound, wherein magnesium silicate account for the 35-45% of adsorbent gross mass, and the amount that described adsorbent is added is to treat refined polyether polyols
The 1.0-1.5% of alcohol quality;
Step 2, after refined PPG adds adsorbent predetermined temperature is warming up to for 95-115 DEG C, stirring 1 is little
When;
Step 3,80-90 DEG C of predetermined temperature is cooled to, adds water, the addition of water is to treat refined PPG quality
8-10%, and stir 1 hour in this temperature;
Step 4, intensification and vacuum dehydration, dehydration temperaturre is 105-120 DEG C, vacuum≤- 0.09MPa.Moisture after dehydration
≤ 0.1% is required, the PPG of low volatile organic compound content is obtained final product after press filtration.
Above-mentioned process for purification, described treats that refined polyether polyols alcohol functionalities are 1-6, and oxyalkylene is expoxy propane
Or oxirane or both mixture, PPG number-average molecular weight is 100-12000.
The method of the present invention not only can effectively remove the kalium ion and natrium ion in PPG, and can effectively reduce gathering
The VOC content and smell of ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol.Can be applied to have the poly- ammonia of automobile being relatively strict with to polyethers smell and VOC content
Ester material.
