Description

Process for preparing polyester
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polyester preparation method.
Background
Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester for short) is the variety with the largest yield in chemical fibers. The world production capacity of polyester is 10020 ten thousand tons/year and the demand is 7258 ten thousand tons by 2018. It is expected that worldwide polyester production will increase to 12014 ten thousand tons per year and demand will reach 9320 ten thousand tons by 2025.
With the development of the polyester industry, catalysts for polyester synthesis have also been intensively studied. Although most main-subgroup metal elements show certain catalytic activity, three series of catalysts, namely antimony, germanium and titanium, are mainly used and researched in industry at present. Among them, antimony catalysts are most commonly used, which account for about 90% of the polyester catalyst market, however, antimony is a heavy metal and has adverse effects on human bodies and the environment during the use. The polyester product obtained by the germanium catalyst has excellent quality, but the germanium resource is less, the price is high, the polyester product is not suitable for large-scale use, and the polyester product is only suitable for high-grade polyester products.
Titanium-based catalysts have received much attention and research since the last 70 th century. Titanium catalysts used in the early days are mainly inorganic salts and organic acid esters of titanium, and although the catalysts show high activity, the catalysts have the problems of poor stability, yellowing and turbidity of polyester products and the like. With further advances in theory and technology, a number of effective technical solutions have been proposed and used to solve the above-mentioned problems. For example, to solve the hue problem, a titanium-based catalyst is generally used together with metallic cobalt or an organic toner; in order to solve the problem of poor thermal stability of titanium polyester, a phosphorus stabilizer is often added; in order to solve the hydrolysis problem of the titanium catalyst, organic compounds such as alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid and the like are usually adopted to chelate the titanium compound to improve hydrolysis resistance, or titanium is loaded on carriers such as molecular sieves, activated carbon and the like, or coprecipitated metal oxides such as Ti/Si and the like are prepared. The technical means can also be used together, so that the titanium polyester catalyst with better balanced catalyst activity, polyester color and other properties can be developed and obtained.
Among the above technical means, organic compound chelation is an important modification mode. The titanium-based catalyst obtained by the method is liquid and has good hydrolysis resistance, and can be used conveniently and has excellent polymerization performance by being further matched with other metal additives, stabilizers and the like. For example, CN102504226A modifies titanate by citric acid and further reacts with alkali to obtain a liquid titanium polyester catalyst, and a polyester product with good performance is obtained based on the catalyst. For example, CN 102382287a reacts a titanium compound, ethyl orthosilicate, hydroxycarboxylic acid, etc. in a solvent, and then acetate, a phosphorus compound, etc. are added to obtain a liquid titanium catalyst, which can be dissolved in ethylene glycol, and can prepare polyesters and copolyesters with good color phase and narrow molecular weight distribution. CN101270185A adopts titanate to react with glycol and ethyl orthosilicate, and then hydroxy acid is added to obtain the liquid titanium catalyst with better performance.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventor finds that the content of the hydroxycarboxylic acid and the modification mode of the titanium compound have important influence on the performance of the catalyst through a large amount of experimental research. When the ratio of hydroxycarboxylic acid to titanate is too high (e.g. a molar ratio of hydroxycarboxylic acid to titanate of 2.5: 1, 2.0: 1), or when a polyol reactive with titanate is introduced (e.g. ethylene glycol) when the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelates a titanium compound, some or even more of the hydroxycarboxylic acid is liberated into the polymerization system in the catalyst. The free hydroxycarboxylic acid is polymerized into the molecular main chain along with the addition of the catalyst, so that the color phase of the polyester is increased, the thermal stability is reduced, and meanwhile, the free hydroxycarboxylic acid enters the recycled ethylene glycol along with a vacuum system, so that the quality of the recycled ethylene glycol is reduced. There is therefore a need for effective control of free hydroxycarboxylic acids in catalyst systems when using hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating titanium compounds. Although the amount of free hydroxycarboxylic acid can be reduced by reducing the amount of hydroxycarboxylic acid to be added, for example, by a molar ratio of not more than 1.5:1 to the titanate, the resulting hydroxycarboxylic acid-chelated liquid titanium-based catalyst has a problem of poor stability, gel or precipitate in addition to an aqueous solution or an ethylene glycol solution, and this problem becomes more pronounced with the decrease in the content of hydroxycarboxylic acid, thereby limiting the use of the catalyst.
In order to solve the problems, the invention controls the content of free hydroxycarboxylic acid in the catalyst by controlling the molar ratio of the hydroxycarboxylic acid to the titanium compound and a direct reaction mode, and improves the stability of the catalyst by adding a metal salt when the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelates the titanium compound, thereby preparing the liquid titanium catalyst which has high reaction degree of the hydroxycarboxylic acid (low content of the free hydroxycarboxylic acid) and has good stability in an aqueous solution and an ethylene glycol solution. On the basis, the titanium polyester with good hue and thermal stability is prepared by adopting the catalyst.
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that in the prior art, the content of free hydroxy acid in a titanium polyester catalyst is high and the prepared titanium polyester has poor thermal stability, and provides a novel polyester preparation method.
