Description

Polyether sulfone and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation process of a polymer, in particular to a polyether sulfone synthesis process.
Background
The polyether sulfone is a heat-resistant high polymer material, is widely applied to the aspects of electronic-grade thin films, water permeable films, blood permeable films, special environment materials and the like, and has wide application fields.
The traditional synthesis method of polyether sulfone is that dichlorodiphenyl sulfone and bisphenol S are used as monomers, a certain amount of acid-binding agent (such as sodium hydroxide) is added, and in an aprotic polar solvent (such as DMF) system, the materials are heated to form salt, and the generated water is separated out, and then the materials are polymerized to form polyether sulfone reaction liquid. The reaction solution after polymerization contains a large amount of inorganic salt, polyether sulfone, monomer by-products, solvent and products after solvent decomposition. And then filtering the reaction solution to remove salt, separating the materials, crushing the materials into powder, washing the powder for a plurality of times and drying the powder to form the polyether sulfone powder.
In this production process, the following drawbacks exist:
(1) two monomer feeds are required. The purity and content of the two monomers are somewhat fluctuating, which results in the actual molar ratio of the two monomer feeds in a fixed weight ratio often differing during the actual feed. In addition, the monomer dichlorodiphenyl sulfone is unstable in the presence of an acid-binding agent and water, and can be consumed by a plurality of side reactions, and the molar ratio of the monomer materials can be changed in the reaction process. The polymerization reaction is very sensitive to the material proportion, small molar ratio change can cause the smooth polymerization, the total result is that the molecular weight of the finished product of the polyether sulfone is unstable, and the product percent of pass is not high;
(2) during polymerization and post-treatment, a large amount of aqueous solvent, separated liquid and filtered salt cake are generated, and the components of the solid and the solution are complex, so that the recovery treatment is very difficult, labor and time are wasted, and the recovery rate is low;
(3) the acid-binding agent can react with bisphenol s, is a disposable consumable product and cannot be recycled and reused after use. The acid binding agent is an alkaline substance, and can also generate side reaction with the solvent at high temperature, so that the solvent is decomposed, and the recovery rate of the solvent is reduced;
(4) the activation energy of polyether sulfone polymerization is high, and the polymerization time of the process is long;
(5) the product after solvolysis can react with polyether sulfone to cause color blacking, so that the appearance of the product is poor;
(6) the end group of the produced polyether sulfone contains chlorine element, has high physiological toxicity and is not beneficial to popularization in the environment contacting with blood.
(7) The existing technology mostly adopts a gas end-capping agent, which causes great pollution and is difficult to recover.
Therefore, a simple and green polyether sulfone synthesis process is needed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides polyether sulfone and a preparation method thereof. Greatly simplifies the polyether sulfone synthesis process, greatly reduces the exhaust emission, simplifies the post-treatment process and saves the material consumption. The method is completely superior to the prior art in the aspects of energy consumption, environmental protection, flow and product quality.
The specific principle is that bisphenol is used as a unique monomer, polyphosphoric acid with a high boiling point is used as a dispersant dehydrating agent, phosphorus pentoxide is selectively added as an auxiliary dehydrating agent, and a solvent is selectively added or not added. Upon heating, the bisphenol and the molten polyphosphoric acid are mixed into a slurry. And then carrying out dehydration reaction, maintaining the reaction at a higher temperature, carrying out polymerization while dehydrating the bisphenol, forming polyether sulfone or polyether sulfone solution after polymerization, stopping stirring and standing for layering after the specified molecular weight is reached, distributing the polyether sulfone or polyether sulfone solution with lower density on the upper layer, discharging polyphosphoric acid on the bottom layer, and putting the polyphosphoric acid and the phosphorus pentoxide into recovery equipment to continuously generate polyphosphoric acid and phosphorus pentoxide for next use. The remaining polyethersulfone layer was discharged directly, solidified and chopped to form a substantially uniform powder, which was washed to remove a small amount of polyphosphoric acid.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a method of preparing a polyethersulfone comprising the steps of: bisphenol and polyphosphoric acid are subjected to dehydration reaction. As a preferable scheme, the simple and convenient green polyether sulfone synthesis process comprises the following steps:
1) putting bisphenol and polyphosphoric acid into a reaction kettle, optionally adding phosphorus pentoxide, and optionally adding a solvent;
2) nitrogen replacement in a reaction kettle, heating to 60-100 ℃, preferably 70-90 ℃ to liquefy polyphosphoric acid, and then nitrogen replacement; air is wrapped in polyphosphoric acid before liquefaction, and the air is further removed by nitrogen gas exchange after liquefaction, so that the low air content in the reaction kettle is ensured, wherein the oxygen partial pressure is less than or equal to 50ppm, preferably less than or equal to 30 ppm;
3) then reacting at 160 ℃ and preferably at 160 ℃ and 140 ℃, and when the reaction is stopped by self heat release, heating to 350 ℃ and continuing the reaction to reach the target molecular weight, and adding an end-capping reagent to terminate the reaction;
4) stopping stirring, and demixing the reaction solution, wherein the upper layer contains polyether sulfone and the lower layer contains polyphosphoric acid.
In a preferable embodiment, in step 4), the polyphosphoric acid is recovered and regenerated, the polyethersulfone layer is separated into a separation liquid (the separation liquid is a poor solvent for polyethersulfone, and can be water, alcohol, ketone or a mixture thereof), the polyphosphoric acid and pyrophosphoric acid attached to the surface of the separation liquid are quickly dissolved and washed away, and the obtained polyethersulfone solid particles are crushed into blocks and subjected to post-treatment such as washing.
The bisphenol is a sulfuryl-containing bisphenol and is selected from the following structures:
Figure BDA0003038569420000031
the molar ratio of polyphosphoric acid to bisphenol is 3-8: 1.
in step 1), the molar ratio of the phosphorus pentoxide to the bisphenol is 0-6: 1, preferably 0.1 to 6: 1.
in step 1) of the present invention, phosphorus pentoxide acts as a dehydrating agent, and compared with polyphosphoric acid, the amount of phosphorus pentoxide dehydrated per unit weight is larger, that is, the same amount of water is removed, and the dosage of phosphorus pentoxide is smaller. The reaction effect is basically equal to that of polyphosphoric acid, but phosphorus pentoxide has high melting point and is difficult to liquefy, and the phosphorus pentoxide can be contacted with bisphenol powder, so that the phosphorus pentoxide is difficult to initiate polymerization, and is not suitable for being used independently. The polyphosphoric acid, although slightly lower in dehydration amount, is easily liquefied and can be rapidly mixed with bisphenol to initiate the reaction.
In the step 1), the dosage of the solvent is 0-5 times of the mass of the polyether sulfone.
The polyether sulfone and the solvent form a solution, and if the solution is too thin, the concentration of the base end of the molecule is too low along with the increase of the polymerization degree, so that the polymerization efficiency is influenced; too much solvent occupies a large amount of reaction kettle space, and the yield of one-time polymerization is low; too much solvent can cause the post-treatment to be complicated, and the advantage of simple post-treatment can be avoided; a small amount of solvent participates in the polymerization, so that the polyether sulfone formed by polymerization can be dissolved, and the polyether sulfone is better contacted with a dehydrating agent (polyphosphoric acid or phosphorus pentoxide), the polymerization process is accelerated, and the reaction temperature is reduced.
In step 1) of the present invention, the solvent is preferably selected from polar aprotic solvents, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, methylpyrrolidone, and sulfolane. Halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, tetrachloroethane are also preferred.
As a preferable scheme, in the step 3) of the present invention, if no solvent is used, after the reaction is stopped from the heat release, the temperature is raised to 160-350 ℃ to continue the reaction; when the solvent is used, the temperature is raised to 140-170 ℃ to continue the reaction after the reaction is stopped by self-heat release.
If no solvent is used in the step (3), the glass transition temperature of the polyether sulfone is always increased along with the increase of the molecular weight in the polymerization process. At this time, if the polyether sulfone is not heated at a high temperature, the curing reaction of the polyether sulfone gradually slows down, and after the heating, the polyether sulfone is melted and the dehydrating agent fully reacts, so that the reaction is continuously carried out. The glass transition temperature of the polyether sulfone is 160-225 ℃, and a small amount of decomposition is carried out at the temperature of more than 360 ℃. Therefore, the reaction temperature was set to 160-350 ℃ and at this temperature, the dehydrating agent was stably present.
If the solvent exists in the step (3), the produced polyether sulfone can be partially or completely dissolved in the solvent, molecules can move freely, and the polyether sulfone can be fully contacted with the dehydrating agent for smooth polymerization, so that higher temperature is not required. The boiling point of the solvent is generally below 210 ℃, and too high a boiling point easily causes pressure build-up in the kettle or solvent decomposition.
In step 3) of the present invention, the end-capping reagent is typically a small molecular weight (less than 500) organic molecule containing 1 or several reactive hydroxyl groups, suitable examples include, but are not limited to, alcohols, phenols or carboxylic acids. But are not limited to phenol, methanol, acetic acid, 4-hydroxydiphenyl sulfone.
In the step 4), the temperature during liquid separation may be 130-; if a solvent is included, 100-150 ℃ is preferred.
The bulk density of the polyether sulfone powder prepared by the method is higher than that of the polyether sulfone powder prepared by the traditional method, and reaches 380-450kg/m3The method is favorable for drying, storage and transportation, has better powder color, reaches RAL0009000, has better molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn is less than or equal to 2), and has low proportion of ultrahigh molecular weight impurities (less than or equal to 0.2 percent) and low proportion of cyclopolymer impurities (less than or equal to 1.8 percent) shown by GPC analysis, thereby being favorable for application of downstream products.
In addition, the beneficial effects of the invention also include:
(1) the type of the polymerized monomer is reduced to one, the problem of monomer proportioning is not involved, and the product quality and batch stability are not easily influenced by the fluctuation of feeding proportion; almost no waste gas is discharged in the reaction process;
(2) an acidic system is used for replacing an alkaline system, so that the problems of pollution, product discoloration, low solvent recovery rate and the like caused by the decomposition of an alkaline system solvent are well controlled, and the dehydrating agent polyphosphoric acid can be recovered and regenerated;
(3) the post-treatment is extremely simple, the product polyether sulfone is collected by adopting a layered liquid separation mode, the water consumption for washing is greatly reduced compared with the water consumption for separating materials in the prior art, the crushed powder material in the process has higher bulk density, the space of post-treatment equipment is saved, the defect of flying dust can not occur during drying, and the resource is saved;
(4) energy is saved, and the reaction time is shortened;
(5) the end capping agent has various choices, can be added quantitatively, and is beneficial to environmental protection.
