Description

Device and method for preparing aromatic polycarbonate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polycarbonate preparation, and particularly relates to a device and a method for preparing aromatic polycarbonate by an ester exchange polycondensation method.
Background
The polycarbonate is engineering plastic with excellent comprehensive performance and is characterized in that: has transparency, excellent impact strength, heat resistance, cold resistance, dimensional stability, electrical insulation and the like. The method is widely applied to the fields of industry, agriculture, IT and daily necessities.
Polycarbonate (commonly known as PC) is a polymer having a main chain containing carbonate bonds and benzene ring structures, and has a molecular structural formula:
Figure BDA0001685404260000011
wherein R is an aromatic arylene group or an aliphatic alkylene group.
A common aromatic polycarbonate, bisphenol a polycarbonate, has the formula:
Figure BDA0001685404260000012
the industrial production methods of aromatic polycarbonates include phosgene interfacial polycondensation and melt transesterification polycondensation. The melt transesterification polycondensation method is further classified into a conventional melt transesterification method and a non-phosgene melt transesterification polycondensation method. Both the phosgene interfacial polycondensation process and the conventional melt transesterification process require the use of highly toxic phosgene as the starting material. Due to the increasing environmental protection pressure and the stricter requirements on occupational safety and sanitation, the research and development and the industrial development of a non-phosgene molten ester exchange method in the industry are rapid in recent years.
According to the published reports at home and abroad, the non-phosgene melt transesterification polycondensation method adopts the transesterification of diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A. Undoubtedly, the transesterification polycondensation technology used by different manufacturers has basically the same reaction principle, and all have certain differences in certain engineering designs and process conditions.
The reaction for the preparation of polycarbonate using bisphenol A (BPA) and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) is as follows:
first step of
Figure BDA0001685404260000021
Second step of
Figure BDA0001685404260000022
The non-phosgene melt transesterification polycondensation process can be divided into two steps. Firstly, bisphenol A (BPA) and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) are subjected to ester exchange reaction to remove phenol to produce oligomers; in the second step, polycondensation is completed at high temperature and under high vacuum. The conventional process route adopts the processing sequence of ester exchange, multistage pre-polycondensation and polycondensation, and simultaneously needs to strictly control the vacuum degree in the processes of ester exchange, pre-polycondensation and polycondensation to remove the generated phenol in time, but has the defect of more branched chain byproducts in the produced polycarbonate.
