Description

Process method and device for continuously producing degradable polyester
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polymer chemical industry, and particularly relates to a process method and a device for continuously producing degradable polyester.
Background
The biodegradable polyester, in particular to biodegradable aliphatic/aromatic copolyester, takes dibasic acid and dihydric alcohol as raw materials, the dibasic acid consists of aliphatic dibasic acid and aromatic dibasic acid, the aromatic dibasic acid is phenyl dibasic acid, and the aliphatic dibasic acid is aliphatic dibasic acid of C3-C10; the dihydric alcohol is aliphatic dihydric alcohol of C2-C6.
The catalyst used in the polyester reaction process is a composite catalyst consisting of a main catalyst and a synergistic catalyst, wherein the main catalyst is a titanium catalyst, and the synergistic catalyst is any one of acetate, carbonate, oxalate, oxide or alkoxy compound of magnesium, calcium, antimony, cobalt, manganese, zinc, barium or aluminum metal ions.
The technological process of preparing copolyester includes esterification and polycondensation, the esterification reaction needs to be carried out in the presence of catalyst, the produced reactant is pre-polycondensed, and then final polycondensation is carried out to obtain biodegradable copolyester with high molecular weight.
In the conventional aliphatic/aromatic copolyester production process at present:
CN 105524258A discloses a continuous production process of biodegradable aliphatic/aromatic copolyester, which comprises continuously feeding aromatic dibasic acid, aliphatic dibasic acid and dihydric alcohol, performing esterification reaction in an esterification kettle in the presence of a catalyst to generate oligomers, then feeding the oligomers into a prepolymerization tower for prepolymerization, finally feeding the oligomers into a polycondensation kettle for polycondensation, and continuously discharging to obtain the biodegradable polyester with high molecular weight. By adopting the continuous production process, the residence time in the process is controllable, the operation cost can be effectively reduced, the high-energy-efficiency flexible production requirement is met, and the high-quality biodegradable polyester finished product is obtained. The invention relates to a method for producing copolyester by adopting three reactors, and the weight-average molecular weight of the obtained product can reach 10.37 ten thousand.
CN 102558515B discloses a method for continuously preparing biodegradable plastics, which mainly comprises the following steps: and continuously adding slurry prepared from one or more dibasic acids and one or more dihydric alcohols into a first esterification kettle for esterification reaction to obtain homopolyester or copolyester oligomer, further carrying out esterification reaction on the obtained esterified substance by a second esterification kettle to obtain an esterified substance, continuously feeding the obtained esterified substance into a first polycondensation kettle for polycondensation reaction, removing small molecules under the condition of low vacuum to obtain a prepolymer, continuously feeding the prepolymer into a high-vacuum second polycondensation kettle for condensation polymerization, removing the small molecules, and continuously tackifying and polymerizing the obtained polymer in a final polycondensation kettle with tackifying effect to obtain the biodegradable plastic slice with high molecular weight and the melt index less than 5. The process for continuously preparing the biodegradable plastic slices is simple and convenient to operate, the automation degree of the process is high, and the obtained biodegradable plastic slices have uniform product quality and no batch difference. The invention is a method for producing copolyester by using 5 reactors, and the intrinsic viscosity of the obtained product can reach 1.62 dl/g.
The TW 201422663A patent discloses a method for producing copolyester by using 5 reactors, the weight average molecular weight of the obtained product can reach 12.0-17.0 ten thousand, the intrinsic viscosity can reach 1.4-1.9 dl/g, and the melt index is 2.0-4.0g/10 min.
Due to the requirements of post-processability, tensile strength, film forming and blending with other polymers of degradable polyester products, only polymers with higher molecular weights (weight average molecular weight above 15 ten thousand, melt index below 4.0, intrinsic viscosity above 1.6 dg/l) have been marketed, whereas high molecular weight copolyesters can only be synthesized in continuous processes and horizontal polycondensation reactors.
However, since the reaction of the aromatic dibasic acid and the aliphatic diol is carried out under the condition of adding the catalyst in the esterification process of the continuous production of the aliphatic/aromatic copolyester, water, which is a byproduct of the esterification reaction, easily hydrolyzes the catalyst to lose activity, so that excessive catalyst is added in the esterification process, and the excessive catalyst is extremely unfavorable for the subsequent polycondensation reaction, so that the polymer is easily thermally degraded and the color is deteriorated.
In the polycondensation process of the aliphatic/aromatic copolyester continuous production, reactants have high molecular weight, poor fluidity and small devolatilization area of melt, so that the long retention time is easily required at a higher reaction temperature, and the color of a reaction product is influenced.
In summary, the continuous polymerization production of aliphatic/aromatic copolyesters requires esterification and polycondensation processes and reactors similar to those used in the industry today for aromatic copolyesters, such as: poly (terephthalic acid) (PET), all have great differences.
Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved to provide a continuous polymerization production process of aliphatic/aromatic copolyester, which adds a catalyst as little as possible in the esterification reaction and reduces the residence time of the reaction as much as possible in the polycondensation reaction, in a targeted manner in the field of polymer chemical industry.
