Description

Preparation method of narrow-distribution triethanolamine block polyether, block polyether and application of block polyether
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nonionic surfactants, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of narrow-distribution triethanolamine block polyether.
Background
The block copolymer of Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Propylene Oxide (PO) is a high molecular polyether surfactant, and is a nonionic surfactant which is generally generated by the addition polymerization of a compound containing active hydrogen atoms as an initiator and Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Propylene Oxide (PO) in sequence. In the molecular structure, a polyoxyethylene group (PEO) part is a hydrophilic group, a polyoxypropylene group (PPO) part is a hydrophobic group due to hydrophobicity caused by the existence of methyl, the performance of the PPO part is different according to the relative molecular mass, an initiator, the mixing ratio of EO and PO, the reaction temperature and the like, and the structure of the PPO part is rich in designability. In recent years, block polyethers have been developed rapidly and have penetrated almost every field, such as metal processing, defoaming, emulsification, extraction, biochemical separation, tissue engineering, and pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.
Most of the prior triethanolamine polyethers are singly processed into polyoxyethylene ether or polyoxypropylene ether, and the only triethanolamine block polyether (patent CN101240062A) has the defects of wide molecular weight distribution, long reaction time, need of a large amount of adsorbent post-treatment and the like. Common catalysts for conventional block polyethers are typically basic materials such as alkali metal methanol/ethoxides, alkali (earth) metal hydroxides, etc., with minor proportions of phosphazene catalysts, which are expensive, or bimetallic DMC catalysts, which are more critical in terms of primer and environmental selection, being the primary reason for their limited use. The most common catalysts used industrially for economic reasons are KOH, NaOH, CH 3 OK、CH 3 ONa and the like, but the molecular weight distribution of the block polyether synthesized by the traditional basic substance catalyst is generally wider, and the influence on the application of the block polyether is larger. In addition, the traditional catalyst has low catalytic efficiency and large catalyst consumption, a neutralization filtration or coalescence separation process is generally adopted in the post-treatment refining link, the application range of a coalescence separator is narrow, the surfactant polyether has good compatibility with water and is not applicable, the neutralization filtration process needs to increase the cost, and a large amount of solid waste is generated.

The molecular weight distribution PDI of the block polyether prepared by the prior art is generally more than 1.1, which affects the performance of polyether products to a certain extent and also brings about the problems of post-treatment refining links. In addition, the PDI of the block polyethers is difficult to achieve even lower based on the methods of the prior art.
Therefore, a new preparation method of narrow distribution block polyether is still needed, so that the PDI of the prepared block polyether product is less than 1.05 and at least 1.023, the product performance is improved, and meanwhile, the post-treatment refining link is simplified.

Example 1
The preparation method of triethanolamine polyoxypropylene polyoxyethylene ether comprises the following specific steps:
149.19g (1mol) of triethanolamine and a phosphazene composite catalyst which is equivalent to 0.02 percent of the total mass of the triethanolamine, PO and EO are added into a self-priming stirring reaction kettle. After the reaction kettle is sealed, nitrogen is used for replacing the reaction kettle for 3 times, and the reaction kettle is vacuumized for 1 hour after being heated to 80 ℃ to remove water and methanol. The composition of the phosphazene composite catalyst is KOH: 18-crown-6 ether and phosphazene is 1:2: 7. And after dehydration is finished, keeping the temperature of the reaction kettle at 120-125 ℃, adding 2610g of propylene oxide, controlling the pressure below 0.3MPa, finishing the addition for 5 hours, and continuing to react and age until the pressure is not reduced any more. Cooling to below 60 ℃ because the capacity of the kettle is limited, taking out part of the intermediate, leaving 689.8g of the intermediate in the reaction kettle, replacing 3 times with nitrogen, heating to 120 ℃, introducing 330g of ethylene oxide, controlling the pressure to be below 0.3MPa, finishing the addition within 2h, continuing the aging reaction for a period of time until the pressure is not reduced, cooling to 75-80 ℃, removing the monomer for 1h, adding a proper amount of acetic acid into the product to neutralize the pH to about 7, removing the water and the unreacted acetic acid, and discharging. The hydroxyl value, molecular weight distribution coefficient, sodium and potassium ion content, appearance, emulsifying property and the like of the product are measured.
Examples 2 to 7
The rest of the process is the same as the process of example 1, except that the amount of the catalyst, the compounding ratio of the catalyst, the reaction time, and the molar ratio of triethanolamine to PO and EO are different, and the specific ratios and parameters are shown in table 1, wherein comparative examples 1 to 3 are control groups. The parameter indexes and the detection of the polyether products prepared in the examples and the comparative examples are shown in the table 2.

From the results, compared with the ordinary catalyst or the single phosphazene catalyst in the comparative example, when the number of EO/PO is the same, the usage amount of the phosphazene composite catalyst in the example 1 is only 10% of that in the comparative example, and the reaction time is shortened by about half, which shows that the method of the invention has the obvious advantages of high reaction rate and high catalytic efficiency. The comparison of the five groups of 0.2 percent sodium methoxide catalysis in the comparative example 1, 0.2 percent phosphonitrile catalysis in the comparative example 2 and 0.2 percent KOH catalysis in the comparative example 3 shows that the hydroxyl value of the block polyether prepared by the phosphonitrile composite catalyst is closer to the designed value and the molecular weight is closer to the designed value when the number of grafted EO/PO is the same under the catalytic reaction condition of lower composite catalyst dosage in the examples 1 and 2, and the specific expression is that the molecular weight distribution coefficient is closer to the ideal value 1. Meanwhile, compared with the catalyst used in the embodiment 1, the catalyst used in the embodiment 2 is slightly larger, the hydroxyl value of the final product is closer to the designed value, and the molecular weight distribution coefficient is narrower. The invention can realize high catalytic efficiency by adjusting the proportion and the dosage of the phosphazene composite catalyst, has low molecular weight distribution coefficient, particularly the molecular weight distribution coefficient can reach 1.025 and 1.023 in examples 1 and 2, has the most direct influence that the product has high content of effective components, low content of high molecular weight components and low pour point, and can be compared from the product form at 10 ℃, and the block polyether product with narrow molecular weight distribution obtained by the invention is liquid, thereby providing convenience for the application of the product in winter, particularly the application in the north.
The foam height and the emulsifying property of the product are mainly related to the molar ratio of EO/PO, and when the EO occupation ratio is high, namely the hydrophilic group content is high, the foam height is large; PO is lipophilic, can effectively reduce the surface tension of the formed foam surface, causes the foam to break and disappear, and has obvious defoaming effect. High foam and low foam have different requirements in different fields, and low foam is better in the fields of industrial cleaning and lubrication, but in some fields, the opposite is true, such as daily chemicals, bath lotion, facial cleanser and the like, the pursuit is that much foam and fine foam are obtained; the narrow distribution product can more easily meet the corresponding foam requirement according to the corresponding design value. The low foaming properties are more pronounced, as are the emulsifying properties. Generally, the emulsifiability is related to the EO amount, the EO content is high, the emulsifying property is good, precise adjustment is needed for obtaining products with good emulsifying and foaming properties, and the products in examples 3 and 4 have lower foam height and better emulsifying property, so that the products have certain advantages in application. The block polyether based on the invention has narrower molecular weight distribution coefficient, and the hydroxyl value is closer to the theoretical design value, so that the performance of the product can meet the requirements of different customers by adjusting the EO/PO molar ratio on the basis, and even can be customized according to the requirements; the molecular weight distribution coefficient of the prior art is generally higher than 1.15, and the prior art cannot be customized according to requirements. From the comparison between example 2 and comparative examples 1, 2 and 3, it can be seen that the phosphazene composite catalyst product has certain advantages in emulsification and low foam with other catalyst products. In addition, theoretically, when the crown ether and the alkali are in equal molar quantity, the sodium and potassium ions are completely complexed, the catalytic efficiency is higher, and the proportion of the phosphazene catalyst is properly adjusted on the basis of the complete complexation of the sodium and potassium, so that the purposes of reducing the sodium and potassium content and improving the catalytic efficiency can be achieved, and the product design scheme is optimized to match different customer requirements. According to the invention, in the presence of an alkali catalyst, crown ether and a phosphazene catalyst of a phosphazene composite catalyst, according to a preferred scheme 1: 2-8: 6-30, the sum of the sodium content and the potassium content of the obtained block polyether product is less than 50ppm, so that the block polyether product can be directly used without refining post-treatment, and the production cost is greatly reduced.
While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the above description should not be taken as limiting the invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that modifications or adaptations to the invention may be made in light of the teachings of the present specification. Such modifications or adaptations are intended to be within the scope of the present invention as defined in the claims.
