Description

Continuous hydrolysis polymerization method for green recycled caprolactam
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of high polymer materials, and relates to a continuous hydrolytic polymerization method for green recycled caprolactam.
Background
The nylon fiber has excellent physical properties which cannot be compared with polyester fiber, such as higher breaking strength of the nylon fiber, wear resistance of the nylon fiber in the crown of general textile fiber, good moisture absorption, excellent elastic recovery rate and fatigue resistance, and excellent dyeing property. Nylon fibers have wide applications in other industries, such as the field of tire cord fabrics, automotive textiles, filter materials, and BCF carpet bulked yarns, in addition to apparel and decoration. The nylon fiber has many varieties, the main varieties are nylon 6 and nylon 66 fiber, and China mainly produces the nylon 6 fiber.
The PA6 polymerization is usually prepared by ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam as raw material, ring-opening agent, catalyst, molecular weight stabilizer and other auxiliary agents under certain temperature and pressure. In terms of the reaction mechanism, PA6 polymerization can be classified into hydrolytic polymerization, anionic polymerization, and anionic polymerization. The hydrolytic polymerization has the characteristics of high yield, high production continuity, stable product performance, strong controllability and the like, and is a PA6 polymerization mode commonly adopted in the industry at present. The monomer conversion rate reaches the maximum value (about 90 percent) after hydrolytic ring opening and addition polymerization, the molecular weight of the polymer is further improved after a period of amide ester bond exchange, the relative molecular mass of the polymer in the system is redistributed, finally, a certain dynamic balance is achieved according to reaction conditions (such as temperature, moisture, the dosage of a molecular weight stabilizer and the like), and the average relative molecular mass of the polymer also reaches a certain value.
The techniques commonly used in the industrial hydrolysis polymerization of PA6 can be classified into normal pressure continuous polymerization, two-stage continuous polymerization, intermittent high pressure polymerization, solid phase post polymerization, multi-stage continuous polymerization, etc. Wherein the normal pressure continuous polymerization is a production process widely used for producing civil silk in industry at present, and the relative viscosity of the obtained slices is 2.4-2.8; and the industrial yarn grade slices are produced by mainly adopting a two-stage continuous polymerization process, and the viscosity of the obtained slices is 2.8-4.0. The difference between the atmospheric continuous polymerization and the two-stage continuous polymerization is that the VK tube structure is different, and other procedures and process conditions are basically similar.
Prior to PA6 processing applications, where hot water extractables (consisting of caprolactam and its oligomers) of about 8-10 wt.% are produced due to thermodynamic equilibrium, they are removed from the matrix by industrial countercurrent extraction with superheated water for 8-16 h. After extraction is finished, the extraction water needs to be evaporated and concentrated, water in the concentrated solution is removed, and the concentrated solution is recycled into fresh caprolactam according to a certain proportion, so that the waste of raw materials is reduced. This part of the process requires a lot of time consuming resources and the stable morphology of oligomers in the concentrate of the extract water is changed, which leads to a reduction of the product quality when re-added to fresh caprolactam. Previous research has focused primarily on how to optimize the extraction process after PA6 product formation to reduce energy consumption and increase caprolactam and oligomer recovery, but has not investigated how to efficiently recover and dispose of the thermodynamic equilibrium portion of the process by forming it. Therefore, how to provide an efficient polymerization method in the research of the PA6 polymerization process at the present stage can collect and reasonably treat the recovered liquid in the polymerization process, reduce the subsequent treatment of the finished product, and become a research direction gradually changed at present.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of large energy resource consumption and limited content during recycling and compounding in the existing polyamide 6 polymerization technology, and provides a continuous hydrolytic polymerization method for green and efficient recycling of caprolactam.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a continuous hydrolytic polymerization method of green recycled caprolactam comprises the steps of sequentially carrying out ring opening reaction, pre-polycondensation reaction and final polycondensation reaction on reaction raw materials containing caprolactam to prepare polyamide 6, wherein a pre-polycondensation reaction device and a final polycondensation reaction device both comprise a gas devolatilization space, and the gas devolatilization space is communicated with a vacuum condensation system; the vacuum condensing system, a condensing storage tank (the condensing storage tank can be replaced and is used for receiving the extracted high-purity caprolactam and the oligomers thereof) and a vacuum pump are communicated in sequence; the final polycondensation reaction device is a horizontal continuous reactor (the multi-section vacuum gas phase is not communicated, a sealed spiral stirrer is used for division, physical spiral propulsion is carried out, a sealing baffle plate between each section can only pass through the stirrer and form sealing isolation with the stirrer), the final polycondensation reaction device is divided into a plurality of sections, the pressure of each section is reduced progressively along the advancing direction of a melt during the final polycondensation reaction (the horizontal continuous reactor is divided into a plurality of sections, the pressure of each section is different during the reaction, at present, the horizontal continuous reactor is realized, a falling film reactor with pores is used in the same vacuum degree area, the stirrer among different sections is converted into a solid sealed stirrer for division, the advancing mode of the melt is designed into a forward flow propulsion mode through the vertical angle of the stirrer, and the purpose of vacuum grading regulation is to prevent the flash evaporation phenomenon of the volatile hot water extractables when entering a high vacuum environment, the hot water extractables in the polyamide 6 melt were extracted by vacuum fractionation).
In the prior art, the polyamide 6 polymerization process is carried out under normal pressure through a VK tube, and the method for recovering caprolactam and caprolactam oligomer generally comprises the following steps: after slicing and granulating, carrying out hot water countercurrent extraction on the slices until the content of caprolactam and oligomers in the slices meets the spinning requirement, carrying out triple effect evaporation after obtaining an extract liquid, obtaining a caprolactam concentrated solution, and then adding part of the caprolactam concentrated solution into fresh caprolactam for production;
the polyamide 6 polymerization process is carried out under the vacuum condition by a pre-polymerization reaction device and a final polymerization reaction device, wherein the pre-polymerization reaction device and the final polymerization reaction device both comprise a gas devolatilization space, the gas devolatilization space is communicated with a vacuum condensation system, the vacuum condensation system, a condensation storage tank and a vacuum pump are sequentially communicated, and the method for recovering caprolactam comprises the following steps: in the process of synthesizing polyamide 6 from caprolactam, extracting solution is obtained from a polyamide 6 melt by using a vacuum extraction method, and the extracting solution is heated to be molten and then filtered to remove floccules for recycling to obtain unreacted high-purity caprolactam;
the prior art needs triple effect evaporation because the caprolactam concentration in the extract liquid is extremely low, and most of water in the extract liquid needs to be removed to obtain caprolactam concentrated solution which can be used for production again;
the prior art is not only complex in operation, but also the content of cyclic dimer in the product is often higher when the obtained caprolactam concentrated solution is polymerized, mainly because: the extract liquid contains a large amount of water, the cyclic dimer can be converted from a needle-shaped alpha crystal form to a blocky beta crystal form under the condition of water, the melting point of the alpha crystal form in the cyclic dimer is only about 240 ℃ and is lower than the polycondensation temperature, the melting point of the beta crystal form is 348 ℃, the beta crystal form is insoluble in a melt, and the cyclic dimer of the beta crystal form is difficult to participate in polymerization reaction;
the cyclic dimer content in the product is relatively low without triple effect evaporation, and the main reason is that the method adopts a vacuum extraction mode, water does not exist in the extraction liquid, triple effect evaporation is not needed to remove water, and meanwhile, the cyclic dimer in the extraction liquid is an alpha crystal form with low melting point and is easy to participate in polymerization reaction, so that the cyclic dimer content in the polymerization product is relatively low;
in the prior art, polyamide 6 is carried out in a normal pressure process, caprolactam flash evaporation caused by pressure difference is hardly considered in conception, in the actual industrial production, influence of the caprolactam flash evaporation on pipeline equipment and conversion rate is not considered unrealistic, the thermodynamic balance of caprolactam hydrolytic polymerization is only 90 percent, namely 8-10 percent by weight of hot water extractables are contained in a system, the hot water extractables consist of caprolactam and caprolactam oligomers, the caprolactam and the caprolactam oligomers are easy to evaporate at room temperature, if the caprolactam flash evaporation is changed into a vacuum system, the pressure difference can quickly flash the caprolactam flash evaporation system out to be condensed in the pipeline wall and the inner wall of the equipment to form crystals, the polyamide 6 is expected to realize transition from ring opening to pre-polycondensation at a relatively gentle pressure through multi-stage regulation, the invention is expected to remove the caprolactam oligomers, but is not expected to be removed through a flash evaporation mode, because the flash evaporation can be quickly condensed and condensed in the equipment and the damage to the equipment is irreversible, the invention firstly uses the vacuum degree with slower gradient to realize the stable transition from ring opening to pre-condensation, and then carries out vacuum degree adjustment along with the reaction, thereby realizing devolatilization efficiency and simultaneously preventing the flash evaporation after reaching the specified vacuum degree;
in the prior art, although the molecular weight of polyamide 6 is improved by using a vacuum means, the used fixed process pressure is controlled to be more than 0.5MPa, and most of used equipment is vertical discontinuous devices which only remove water molecules; the multistage vacuum devolatilization aims at removing caprolactam and small molecules thereof generated by water and thermodynamic equilibrium in a system, and aims to realize the recovery of hot water extractables in a green polymerization process so as to replace the traditional hot water post-treatment recovery.
