Description

Preparation method of nonionic fatty alcohol polyether for defoamer
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of nonionic fatty alcohol polyether for a defoaming agent, belonging to the field of fine chemical engineering of synthetic surfactants.
Background
In the industrial production and manufacturing process, such as sewage treatment, textile printing and dyeing, biological fermentation, coating and filming, cutting fluid, lubricating oil, pesticide fertilizer, natural gas desulfurization and the like, if a large amount of foam exists, the gas-liquid interface area of the system is greatly increased, and the instability of the system is also increased. The result is not only inconvenient in operation, waste of equipment capacity, but also waste of raw materials, blocked production capacity, reduced product quality, economic loss and other series of problems. As such, defoaming and defoaming become indispensable technological means in certain production links.
Generally, the foam-reducing aim of the system is achieved by adding an antifoaming agent. The defoamer has lower surface tension and is easy to be adsorbed on the surface of the solution, so that the local surface tension of the surface of the solution is reduced and then the solution spreads locally. Displacing the molecules on the surface of the original liquid film after entering the bubble liquid film reduces the surface tension at the contact point lower than at other positions of the liquid film. Thus, the foam liquid film with higher surface tension generates shrinkage force to lead the liquid film with low surface tension to be pulled and stretched around to form a film with poor strength, the film is thinned slowly, and finally the rupture is eliminated.
Particularly, among a plurality of defoamers, the aliphatic alcohol polyether prepared by ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide is the most important category of non-silicon defoamers, has the characteristics of no toxicity, no peculiar smell, no stimulation and easy biodegradation, and can show good defoaming, wetting, dispersing, emulsifying and decontaminating functions in aqueous solution. According to the application requirements, the fatty alcohol with a corresponding structure can be selected, the proportion and relative molecular mass of the hydrophilic epoxyethane chain unit and the hydrophobic epoxypropane chain unit can be regulated, and the characteristics of cloud point, water solubility, oil solubility and the like can be controlled, so that the defoaming effect of the water-phase system can be adapted to a wider water-phase system to the greatest extent.
The traditional preparation method of the aliphatic alcohol polyether adopts strong alkali as a catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, potassium methoxide, metal potassium, sodium and the like, dissociates initiator aliphatic alcohol anions, then the initiator anions are added with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to generate unitary addition initiator ether, and finally chain growth occurs to obtain the target aliphatic alcohol polyether product with corresponding molecular weight chain length. The catalyst is used for production, and can be dissolved in a reaction system, so that the pH value of the system is too high, and metal cations, especially potassium ions and sodium ions, are introduced. Therefore, in the method for producing the fatty alcohol polyether by using the strong base catalyst, a post-treatment process is often needed to be matched, the basic catalyst is neutralized by acid, metal ions are removed by using an adsorbent, a decoloring agent and the like, and finally, the finished product of the fatty alcohol polyether is obtained by filtering. Meanwhile, due to the reaction characteristic of the strong base catalyst, the speed of the chain initiation reaction is lower than that of the chain growth reaction, so that polyether chains are grown before all the initiator is not completely converted into the monobasic adduct, the initiator residues are left in the final product, the adduct number distribution is wide, and the product performance is limited. Nevertheless, since there are few catalysts developed to be comparable to those of the above, strong base catalysts have been mainly used in industry.
The reaction characteristics of the strong base catalyst determine the necessary post-treatment process, and in order to stabilize the product storage or meet the downstream application requirements, alkali metal ions introduced by the catalyst are usually removed for secondary refining, which not only prolongs the production period, but also greatly increases the production cost. In order to improve such disadvantages of the conventional strong base catalyst, to suppress the introduction of alkali metal ions from the source, to improve the quality of the finished aliphatic alcohol polyether and to obtain polyether with narrower molecular weight distribution, many reports have been made on the use of solid base as the catalyst.
Patent CN109369903a uses Zr oxide as a catalyst carrier, then adds a cocatalyst, and finally loads alkali metal, and the catalyst obtained by this composition can prepare aliphatic alcohol polyether with narrow distribution, low raw material residue and low PEG/PPG content. However, the catalyst carrier is loaded with alkali metal by an impregnation method, only one layer is formed on the surface, the catalyst activity can be reduced along with the use times, frequent supplementation is needed, and meanwhile, the reaction period of preparing fatty alcohol polyether by using the catalyst is not known.
The patent CN103846082B provides a mesoporous carbon supported composite metal oxide as an alkaline solid catalyst, has a two-dimensional hexagonal mesostructure, has the characteristics of large specific surface area and uniform pore size distribution, is used for catalyzing an ethoxylation reaction, and has the advantages of narrow product distribution, high reaction conversion rate, high selectivity, easiness in post-treatment and the like compared with the traditional ethoxylation catalyst alkali. However, it is known from the patent that this technique can only catalyze the ethoxylation reaction of lower alcohols having no more than 4 carbon atoms, and that the product is only a fatty alcohol monoether, and that the application range is narrow, and it is difficult to satisfy the breadth of fatty alcohol polyethers for defoamers.
It can be seen that with the continued depth of research, solid bases have gradually demonstrated their advantages in the field of polyether catalysis, avoiding the secondary refining process compared to strong base catalysis. The invention also adopts a solid catalyst and prepares the aliphatic alcohol polyether through proper process conditions.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the prior art obstacles, the invention provides a method for preparing nonionic fatty alcohol polyether for defoamer. The method uses solid alkali as a catalyst, can be recycled, avoids using a strong alkali catalyst in a dissolving way, suppresses the introduction of metal ions in a system from the source, avoids secondary refining of fatty alcohol polyether, and shortens the process period; meanwhile, the aliphatic alcohol polyether with narrower distribution and low raw material residue can be obtained. The specific technical method comprises the following steps:
a preparation method of nonionic fatty alcohol polyether for defoamer comprises the following steps:
putting a catalyst and fatty alcohol into a reaction kettle, wherein the catalyst is cerium and zirconium composite metal oxide Ce x Zr 1-x O 2 A solid base catalyst;
dehydrating for 1-2 h;
slowly adding the alkylene oxide after the temperature is raised to the reaction temperature, and continuously adding the alkylene oxide at the temperature and the reaction pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure until the reaction is finished;
and (3) continuously preserving heat until the pressure is reduced to be stable and unchanged, and finally cooling and filtering to obtain the fatty alcohol polyether.
The catalyst Ce x Zr 1-x O 2 Wherein x is 0.6 to 0.9.
The fatty alcohol has the following general formula:
C n H 2n+1 -OH, wherein n represents a fatty alcohol carbon number of 4 to 18, and the fatty alcohol carbon chain may be straight-chain or branched. Further, the fatty alcohol used as the raw material may be one or a mixture of two or more of the above.
The fatty alcohol polyether has the following general formula:
C n H 2n+1 -O-(EO) a (PO) b h, wherein a+b is an integer or fraction of 3 to 20. The arrangement of the alkylene oxide is not particularly limited, and is related to the properties of the final desired product. The different alkylene oxides may be blocked, random, or a single alkylene oxide.
The alkylene oxide is ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
The reaction temperature is the control temperature in the reaction process, the reaction activity of the system is influenced by the fact that the temperature is too low, the reaction rate is too high, the heat release is severe, meanwhile, the serious side reaction is accompanied, and the proper temperature is 85-185 ℃.
The reaction pressure is influenced by the feeding speed and the reaction rate of the alkylene oxide, and when the feeding speed and the reaction rate are low, the pressure is high, otherwise, the pressure is low, and in order to achieve the reaction efficiency and the reaction safety, a large number of experiments prove that the pressure is more suitable at 0.0-0.4 Mpa.
The amount of the catalyst is mainly related to the reaction rate, the temperature is high, the reaction rate is high, the catalyst can be added little if the catalyst is fast, and otherwise, the catalyst needs to be added more if the catalyst is fast, and in order to simultaneously consider the reaction efficiency and the reaction safety, a large number of experiments prove that the mass of the catalyst is 0.1-2% of the mass of the aliphatic alcohol polyether.
The synthesis method of the catalyst is a common surfactant template method, and specifically comprises the following steps:
pouring a certain proportion of template agent into a beaker;
then 70ml of distilled water is measured and added into a beaker, after stirring for 30min at a certain water bath temperature, cerium salt and zirconium salt with a certain metering ratio are added, after continuously stirring for 10min, precipitator ammonia water is added dropwise, the pH value of the system is regulated to about 10, cerium ions and zirconium ions generate hydroxide precipitates, and stirring is continued for 3h;
then aging for 12 hours at room temperature, centrifuging, and washing the product with deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol respectively until the washing liquid is neutral; finally, drying the obtained product in a drying oven at 100 ℃ for 12 hours, extruding the dried product into particles with 80-100 meshes, and placing the particles in a muffle furnace for high-temperature roasting for 3 hours to obtain a solid base catalyst;
further, in the preparation method of the catalyst, the surfactant used as the template agent can be cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecyl sulfate or a mixture of the two surfactants, and the addition amount is 1-10% of the total mass of the system.
Further, in the preparation method of the catalyst, the cerium salt may be cerium nitrate, cerium sulfate, cerium chloride and hydrates thereof or a mixture of the above cerium salts, and the zirconium salt may be zirconium nitrate, zirconium sulfate, zirconium chloride and hydrates thereof or a mixture of the above cerium salts.
Further, in the preparation method of the catalyst, the reaction temperature has a main influence on the external structure of the catalyst, and along with the improvement of the synthesis temperature, the specific surface area of the catalyst tends to be gradually increased. The water bath temperature is considered to be more proper at 50-70 ℃ through repeated consideration.
Further, in the preparation method of the catalyst, as the proportion of cerium and zirconium increases, the microscopic pore volume in a certain range slightly increases, and the pore diameter gradually increases, so that the large specific surface area is beneficial to the improvement of the activity and stability of the reaction. Thus at Ce x Zr 1-x O 2 Wherein, x is in the range of 0.6 to 0.9 to control the molar ratio of cerium salt and zirconium salt added in the preparation process.
Further, in the preparation method of the catalyst, the alkaline center of the surface of the cerium and zirconium composite metal oxide catalyst is subjected to H 2 O and other substances cover, so that the alkalinity is very weak, the catalytic activity is low, and after high-temperature roasting treatment, the surface covering can be removed, so that the alkaline sites are fully exposed, and the alkali strength is enhanced; meanwhile, the high-temperature roasting can remove the active agent template, form various pore channels in the oxide, and increase the inner surface area of the oxide, which is also beneficial to improving the catalytic activity. Through a large number of experiments, the roasting temperature is set at 600-800 ℃.
The invention can achieve the following expected outstanding effects through the technical method:
1. the invention uses cerium and zirconium composite metal oxide Ce x Zr 1-x O 2 Compared with the traditional strong alkali catalyst which needs to be dissolved into a system to react, the solid alkali is mixed in the reaction system in a solid form, can be filtered and recycled, and hardly generates solid waste; and secondly, the metal cations introduced in the system by dissolving the strong base catalyst are avoided, so that the secondary refining process of removing the strong base cations by post-treatment can be avoided, and considerable cost is saved.
2.Ce x Zr 1-x O 2 As rare earth metal oxide, the catalyst is used for synthesizing fatty alcohol polyether due to the alkaline characteristic, the reaction process is relatively stable, and the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure are not needed; secondly, the preparation process of the surfactant template method leads Ce to be x Zr 1-x O 2 The metal oxide has a high specific surface area and a porous microstructure, has high catalytic activity, can be suitable for ethylation reaction of high-carbon fatty alcohol compared with patent CN103846082B to obtain fatty alcohol polyether with narrow distribution (D is less than or equal to 1.1), and has low raw material residue (less than or equal to 1.0%).
3. Catalyst Ce used in the preparation of fatty alcohol polyethers by the process of the invention x Zr 1-x O 2 The synthesis method is simple, and the surfactant template enables Zr to be formed 4+ Completely enter CeO 2 In the crystal lattice, thereby forming a uniform cubic fluorite structure, crystallinity and machineThe mechanical strength is better. The specific surface area is large, and the pore volume is better, which is favorable for the adsorption, activation and reaction of reactant molecules in the pores, so that compared with the CN109369903A patent, the catalyst can achieve similar catalytic effect without loading other alkali metals.

The comparative example was carried out in a total period of 13 hours and 45 minutes from the time when the catalyst was charged into the polymerization reactor to the time when the purified product was obtained by filtration, and the process period was too long. From the detection result of the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, K is seen after refining + The content is 5ppm, which meets the application requirement of downstream products. As can be seen from comparative example 7, catalyst Ce 0.6 Zr 0.4 O 2 The use in the synthesis of the fatty alcohol polyether not only effectively controls the molecular weight distribution of the product and the residual quantity of raw materials, but also avoids the metal cations introduced by the dissolution of the strong base catalyst in the system, thereby avoiding the process of refining and removing the strong base cations, greatly shortening the production period and saving considerable cost.
