Preparation method of rubber-plastic foaming accelerator zinc benzenesulfinate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of zinc benzene sulfinate.
Background
Zinc Benzenesulfinate (ZBS) is a novel rubber plastic foaming accelerant. In the field of rubber and plastic heat insulation material processing, in order to make the heat insulation material porous and uniform, a foaming promoter, a foaming agent and other processing aids are required to be used in a matching way in the rubber and plastic heat insulation material processing process. The foaming accelerant Zinc Benzenesulfinate (ZBS) and Azodicarbonamide (AC) foaming agent are used together, so that the decomposition temperature can be greatly reduced, the processing process of the heat-insulating material can be optimized, the heat-insulating material is compact and porous, the pore size is uniform, and the heat-insulating performance of the product is greatly improved.
The production of zinc benzenesulfinate ZBS uses benzenesulfonyl chloride as a raw material, and there are mainly two preparation routes according to the difference of reducing agents. One is sodium sulfite as a reducing agent, and the other is zinc powder as a reducing agent.
CN 110652759A discloses a preparation method of zinc benzene sulfinate, which takes water as a medium and inorganic base as an acid-binding agent to cause benzene sulfonyl chloride and sodium sulfite to generate oxidation-reduction reaction; and adding a zinc chloride solution into the reaction liquid in the first step to perform double decomposition reaction to prepare the zinc benzenesulfinate. The method has a mature process, and has the main problems that about 1.5 tons of waste salt is produced in each ton of products, the waste salt is a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, the waste salt belongs to solid hazardous waste, and the treatment difficulty and the cost are high.
CN 111100044B discloses a method for adding benzene sulfonyl chloride into a mixed system of sodium sulfite, zinc oxide and water to react to obtain benzene sulfinic acid zinc. Sodium sulfite is used as a reducing agent, zinc oxide is used as an acid-binding agent to neutralize acid generated in the reaction process, and is also used as a reactant to provide a zinc source for zinc benzenesulfinate, the generated solid waste salt is reduced, about 1.21 tons of mixed salt of zinc chloride and sodium sulfate is generated per ton of product, and the process does not have the result of avoiding generating a large amount of mixed salt.
Zinc chloride or zinc oxide is used as a zinc source, but as long as sodium sulfite is used as a reducing agent, a large amount of mixed salt is inevitably generated in the reaction mother liquor. The separation of chloride ions and sulfate ions is difficult and high in cost, so that the process has no market competitiveness. The national control on solid dangerous waste is more and more strict, and related processes cannot be approved by related national departments, so that the method belongs to the laggard process which is inevitably eliminated.
Another preparation method of the zinc benzenesulfinate is to directly reduce benzenesulfonyl chloride by using zinc powder to obtain the zinc benzenesulfinate and generate a byproduct zinc chloride. The mother liquor of the method only contains a byproduct of zinc chloride, and the three wastes are easy to treat. However, there are problems that (1) the difference in density between zinc powder and a solvent is large, and it is difficult to sufficiently mix the zinc powder and benzenesulfonyl chloride, which makes it difficult to carry out a reduction reaction. The process uses more zinc powder than the reaction quantity. Excessive zinc powder is difficult to separate from the product, and the quality of the product is affected. (2) The benzenesulfonyl chloride is easily hydrolyzed to generate benzenesulfonic acid as a byproduct, and the benzenesulfonic acid is also over-reduced to generate thiophenol, so that the yield is low. (3) The generated product zinc benzene sulfinate is separated out from the system and coated on the surface of the unreacted zinc powder, which hinders the complete reaction and seriously affects the product quality. Due to the problems, the process route for preparing the zinc benzenesulfinate by reducing the zinc powder does not realize industrial application.
Therefore, the zinc benzenesulfinate is prepared by directly reducing benzenesulfonyl chloride with zinc powder, the mixed salt is avoided, the problem of the method can be solved, and the process route for preparing the zinc benzenesulfinate by reducing the zinc powder is industrially applied and becomes the research and development purpose of the invention.
