Description

Application of phosphazene base in catalytic alcoholysis of polyethylene terephthalate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polymer plastic degradation, and particularly relates to application of phosphazene base in catalytic alcoholysis of polyethylene terephthalate.
Background
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is obtained by direct esterification of high-Purity Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Ethylene Glycol (EG) and then further polycondensation, has the advantages of good air tightness, high transparency, light weight, excellent mechanical property, chemical stability, no smell, no odor, no toxicity and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of fiber films, food packaging, mineral water bottles, carbonated beverage bottles and the like. PET production and consumption are increasing year by year, resulting in the production of large quantities of PET waste; meanwhile, the waste PET is difficult to degrade in natural environment, and causes the problems of white pollution, micro plastic pollution and the like to the environment; therefore, recycling of waste PET is attracting much attention.
At present, the recovery of waste PET comprises a physical recovery method and a chemical recovery method, wherein the physical recovery method accounts for more than 90% in China, the physical recovery method is a method for obtaining a new PET material through simple high-temperature melt molding, but the physical recovery method has the problems of degraded use, reduced product quality, reduced molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity, secondary pollution, limited recovery times and the like. The chemical recovery method converts the waste PET into monomers through chemical reaction, is not limited by PET raw material sources, does not reduce the quality of regenerated products, and can realize efficient closed-loop recycling of the waste PET. In addition, the chemical recovery method can also be used for producing products such as polyurethane, unsaturated polyester and the like. Therefore, compared with a physical recovery method, the chemical recovery method is a more effective method for recovering the waste PET, and can improve the utilization level of resources. The chemical recovery processes mainly include pyrolysis, hydrolysis, glycolysis, methanolysis, other alcoholysis processes and amine/ammonolysis processes. Among them, the glycolysis method has the advantages of less volatilization of solvent, less reaction substance, mild reaction condition, continuous production, direct repolymerization of main product ethylene terephthalate (BHET) into new PET, and the like, and is considered to be one of the most promising methods. However, the glycol alcoholysis method is still mostly used for chemically recycling PET and adopts a catalyst containing heavy metals, and heavy metal residues exist in the product; the problems of low yield, low reaction rate and the like exist in the prior art of adopting a nonmetal catalyst to degrade PET.

The alkali is characterized by strong alkalinity which is stronger than that of other amine or amidine alkali, and most phosphazene alkali can catalyze the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic monomers. The invention takes phosphazene base as a catalyst to carry out high-efficiency alcoholysis on the waste PET, and provides a new method for recycling the waste PET.
