Preparation method and application of acrylate compound for slump-retaining type polycarboxylate superplasticizer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of hydroxyl acrylate, and particularly relates to two novel acrylate compounds prepared from a byproduct epoxy compound in the production process of an organosilicon silane coupling agent KH 560.
Background
The polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent plays a great role in modern concrete, and one of the important problems to be solved is that the slump loss of the concrete is large during long-time and long-distance transportation, and the working performance of the concrete is seriously influenced. On the basis of solving the problem of fast slump loss of concrete, a plurality of admixture companies often compound retarders such as sodium gluconate, cane sugar and sodium citrate with water reducing agents. However, this does not completely solve the problem, and thus the slump-retaining type polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is produced at the same time. The slump-retaining polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent generally introduces long-chain acrylic ester compounds with the slump-retaining function of concrete, such as hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxybutyl acrylate and the like, carboxylic acid bonds are stored in polycarboxylic acid molecules in an ester bond mode, the ester bonds can be hydrolyzed into carboxylic acid and corresponding alcohol under the condition of cement hydration, and the newly hydrolyzed carboxylic acid can continue to generate a dispersion effect on cement paste to play a role in slowly releasing the carboxylic acid, so that the slump-retaining performance is improved.
The hydroxyacrylate compound is usually produced by subjecting acrylic acid and a raw material such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, chlorohydrin, 1, 4-butanediol to a ring-opening addition reaction or an esterification reaction. In an industrialized synthetic route, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide are mainly used as raw materials, and the prepared acrylate compound has the advantages of high purity and high activity. The reaction of acrylic acid and epoxy compounds such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide belongs to cation ring-opening addition reaction, has high reaction speed and large heat release, and is usually obtained by adding a catalyst and a polymerization inhibitor at a lower temperature for reaction. The acrylate compound prepared from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide is a common slump retaining agent for the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent, but because the carbon chain length is short, and the ethylene oxide or propylene oxide is flammable and explosive and is expensive, a slump retaining agent with lower cost and better slump retaining performance needs to be provided, so that the water reducing agent product can stand out in the market with strong competition.
The silane coupling agent KH560, the chemical name of which is gamma- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -propyl trimethoxy silane, is an important silane coupling agent product in the organosilane industry and is also a silane compound in the widest application fields at home and abroad at present, and the chemical structural formula is as follows:
the compound is prepared by taking allyl glycidyl ether and hydrogen-containing alkoxy silane as raw materials and carrying out hydrosilylation reaction under the catalysis of a platinum complex:
in fact, both synthetic raw materials used for preparing the target product have side reactions under the action of the catalyst, so that more or less by-products and secondary reaction products thereof are generated. When the hydrosilylation reaction is adopted to synthesize gamma- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -propyl trimethoxy silane, allyl glycidyl ether is easy to isomerize to generate propenyl glycidyl ether and 3, 8-dioxa-bicyclo [3,2,1] octane with two different configurations, namely boat type and chair type, wherein the two compounds are common byproducts in light fractions obtained by distillation and purification of synthetic materials.
Meanwhile, trimethoxy silane is easy to generate redistribution reaction in the presence of some catalysts and impurities of compounds of the catalysts, so that polyhydrosilane compounds and tetraalkoxysilane can be generated, and then catalytic dehydrogenation, hydrogenation reduction and the like are carried out, so that another type of byproducts are generated due to hydrogenation reduction:
in the actual industrial production, when the target product gamma- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -propyltrimethoxysilane is generally obtained, the yield of the target product is about 85%, and two epoxy compounds of propyl glycidyl ether and 3, 8-dioxa-bicyclo [3,2,1] octane generated by side reaction account for about 5% of the mass of the raw materials.
The invention provides a preparation method of two types of acrylate compounds by taking two epoxy compounds of propyl glycidyl ether and 3, 8-dioxa-bicyclo [3,2,1] octane and acrylic acid as raw materials by referring to a synthesis method of a hydroxyl acrylate compound, and the preparation method is used for further reducing the production cost of a water reducer on the basis of improving the slump persistence of the polycarboxylic acid water reducer in the preparation process of a slump-retaining polycarboxylic acid water reducer.
