Description

Device and method for preparing SAN resin with stable composition and low volatile component
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of preparation methods of high polymer materials, and particularly relates to a device and a method for preparing SAN resin with stable composition and low volatile component.
Background
SAN resin is a binary random copolymer of styrene and acrylonitrile, and has excellent transparency, higher mechanical strength and good heat resistance and chemical properties. SAN resin is mainly used for transparent structural materials or as a matrix material of ABS resin, and has very wide application in the fields of electronic appliances, automobiles, building materials, furniture, sports and entertainment products, machinery, instrument industry and the like.
SAN resin can be prepared by emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization and bulk polymerization methods based on the principle of free radical initiated copolymerization. At present, SAN dominant synthesis technology in industrial production is a thermal initiation continuous bulk polymerization process, and the technology has the advantages of high polymerization controllability, short process flow, low investment cost, good product quality, few environmental pollution problems and the like, and is a synthesis method which is most used in the industrial field. The technological process of preparing SAN resin by using a thermal initiation continuous bulk polymerization method mainly comprises the following steps: preparing a monomer/an auxiliary agent; carrying out monomer copolymerization reaction in a reactor; devolatilizing the unreacted monomer and the solvent; condensing and recovering volatile components; granulating and drying to obtain the SAN resin.
The synthesis of SAN resins with excellent properties using a thermally initiated continuous bulk process requires two key issues to be addressed:
(1) stability of SAN resin composition. The continuous bulk polymerization reactor has high viscosity, large reaction heat release and difficult temperature control, and the evaporation of reaction monomers is a common heat removal mode. However, since the boiling point of acrylonitrile monomer (77.35 ℃) is significantly lower than that of styrene (145.16 ℃), the concentration of acrylonitrile in the vaporized vapor is high, and the composition of styrene and acrylonitrile in the polymerization reactor changes, which results in unstable composition of the SAN copolymer formed. The literature reports that the compatibility among SAN copolymers with different composition distributions is poor, the mechanical property of the resin is deteriorated, the haze is improved, and the transparency is reduced due to the change of the content of acrylonitrile in the SAN resin. Therefore, the difference of acrylonitrile content of SAN copolymer of different components in SAN resin needs to be controlled within 4%.
In order to control the stability of styrene/acrylonitrile monomer composition in a reactor, the patent CN106188374A divides the introduction of styrene monomer into two paths, wherein one path is added into an evaporative condenser to be mixed with high-concentration acrylonitrile, and the concentration of the acrylonitrile in the condenser and the reactor is controlled to be close to the same by adjusting the dosage of the styrene; patent CN104628925B provides a method for producing SAN resin by two-kettle series polymerization, wherein fresh monomer mixture and devolatilized condensate are introduced into the second polymerization kettle, so that the viscosity of the SAN resin is not significantly increased in the second kettle, and the uniformity of the proportion of the reaction monomers is ensured by the supplement of fresh monomers and the shorter residence time of the second kettle, which is very important for preparing SAN resin with high acrylonitrile content.
(2) Low volatility of SAN resin. The SAN reaction solution after polymerization needs to remove unreacted monomers and solvent. Higher volatile components can cause yellowing, reduced transparency, and poor mechanical properties of the SAN resin during heating. Industrial devolatilization apparatuses are classified into two types, static type and dynamic type: static devolatilization equipment does not have mechanical stirring such as a flash tank and a stripping devolatilizer, is suitable for devolatilization of materials with higher volatile content, but often cannot meet the requirement of extremely low residual amount of volatile. Dynamic devolatilization equipment such as an exhaust screw extruder, a wiped film evaporator and the like use mechanical stirring to provide large-scale surface updating, so that the separation effect of volatile components from polymers is remarkably improved, very low volatile component residue is achieved, and the method is suitable for devolatilization of materials with low volatile component content.
In the continuous bulk polymerization process of thermally initiated free radicals, the exothermic heat in the polymerization vessel is mainly controlled by three ways: introducing low-temperature reaction materials, removing heat by cooling media in a jacket of the reactor, and evaporating and condensing monomers and solvents in a reaction system to transfer heat by phase change. At present, in the industrial SAN resin preparation process, the heat removal application by utilizing the evaporation and condensation of low molecular substances is the most extensive.
In a polymerization reaction kettle, compared with a styrene monomer and a solvent toluene, an acrylonitrile monomer has low boiling point and is volatile, and acrylonitrile is greatly evaporated and takes away heat in the polymerization process, so that the method has positive effects on controlling the temperature in the reaction kettle and ensuring the polymerization safety. In the current SAN polymerization process, a condenser for evaporating gas is usually disposed outside the reaction vessel, and there are two types of removal of condensate: (1) conveying the materials back to the charging process for utilization; (2) and the mixture is refluxed into the reaction kettle to continuously participate in the polymerization reaction. In the first mode, the high-concentration acrylonitrile in the condensate returns to the feeding process, so that the ratio of styrene to acrylonitrile monomer in the reactor is changed, the composition of the SAN resin obtained by polymerization is unstable, and the performance of the SAN resin is deteriorated due to the change of the polymer composition distribution; in the second mode, the condensation path and the reflux time are too long due to the external arrangement of the condenser, although the acrylonitrile monomer is not polymerized in a steam state, the condensate in the condenser is polymerized at a high temperature to form a copolymer insoluble gel with polyacrylonitrile or extremely high acrylonitrile content, the difference with the acrylonitrile content of the SAN resin in the kettle is very large, the incompatibility is caused, the mechanical property and the chromaticity of the SAN resin are reduced, and the problem is more serious particularly when the SAN resin with high acrylonitrile content is synthesized.
Devolatilization, which can meet health and environmental requirements while improving polymer properties, has become one of the necessary unit operations in a polymer production process. The generation of an interface, the mass transfer of the interface and the updating of the interface in the polymer devolatilization process have a decisive influence on the devolatilization effect. At present, a two-stage devolatilization mode with two flash tanks connected in series is usually adopted in the production process of SAN resin. However, as a static devolatilizer, the interface mass transfer capacity and the update capacity are poor in the devolatilization process, and a large amount of energy is required to be input for achieving an ideal devolatilization effect. The devolatilization mode of the two-stage serial flash tanks cannot ensure the low volatile component concentration of the SAN resin, so that the SAN resin obtained by the process cannot meet the application requirement in the field with low VOC content requirement.
In recent years, the devolatilization technology of a dynamic twin-screw devolatilization extruder is rapidly developed, an interface is generated through the formation of a film and the growth of bubbles, mass transfer is carried out through diffusion and bubble breakage, and the interface is updated through convection mixing, so that the devolatilization purpose can be achieved with the least energy, the retention time of a polymer in a devolatilization device can be reduced, the thermal degradation and aging of materials are reduced, and the devolatilization technology is the most advanced process of polymer devolatilization at present. On the other hand, in the devolatilization process of the twin-screw extruder, the residence time provided by the twin-screw extruder is short due to the structural characteristics of full-meshing self-cleaning, so that the twin-screw extruder is only suitable for treating materials with high solid content.
By combining the devolatilization characteristics of two different types of devolatilizers, the ideal devolatilization effect cannot be achieved by a single flash tank, and a two-stage devolatilization mode with two flash tanks connected in series is usually adopted. The operating temperature of the primary flash tank is 110-120 ℃, and unreacted acrylonitrile monomers are mainly removed; the operating temperature of the secondary flash tank is 220-260 ℃, and unreacted styrene monomers and solvents are mainly removed. The volatile content of SAN resin prepared by adopting a two-stage flash tank series devolatilization mode at present is still about 1000ppm, and the devolatilization process needs to be further optimized to reduce the volatile content.
