Description

Recycling method of waste PET and biodegradable copolyester prepared by adopting recycling method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of biodegradable polyester plastics, in particular to a method for recycling waste PET and biodegradable copolyester prepared by the method.
Background
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the linear thermoplastic polymer which is the earliest to realize industrialization, and has the advantages of low price, transparency, air tightness, good compressive strength, low production energy consumption and good processability, so that the PET is widely used in the fields of plastic packaging bottles, films, synthetic fibers and the like. To date, the global annual production of PET has exceeded 7000 million tons, and is second only to polyethylene and polypropylene, the third largest class of plastics. However, PET molecular chains have a rigid benzene ring structure and strong hydrophobicity, and are difficult to degrade in natural environments, and thus are classified into non-degradable plastics. Currently, most PET articles are disposable consumer products, one of the most difficult plastics to recycle, and are difficult to recycle through hot melting or solution treatment. Most of the products such as waste PET bottles, films, fibers, etc. are thrown into a refuse landfill or the sea, and become a public hazard of environmental pollution.
At present, three main types of recycling modes for waste PET exist: (1) A physical recycling method, which comprises the steps of crushing PET and then reprocessing the crushed PET into lower-quality plastic products, or modifying and granulating PET bottle materials with high molecular weight to directly produce fibers with lower molecular weight, wherein the products obtained by reprocessing by the physical recycling method still belong to non-degradable types; (2) The chemical conversion method is characterized in that waste PET is converted into monomer and other small molecular raw materials by chemical conversion (comprising an alcoholysis method, a hydrolysis method, an ammonolysis method and the like), wherein the alcoholysis method and the hydrolysis method depolymerize the waste PET polyester into a monomer state by using methanol, glycol and other alcohols or water, so that the recycling of the polyester waste is realized, but because polymers exist in products at the same time, the later separation difficulty is high, and the effective conversion rate is not high; the ammonolysis method cannot utilize the ethylene glycol units in the waste PET; (3) Biodegradation method which degrades waste PET plastic into initial raw material monomer (such as ethylene terephthalate, etc.) using active enzyme in microorganism, but it has low degradation efficiency and complicated operation process.
The existing chemical conversion of waste PET needs alcoholysis to a monomer or oligomer state, then the waste PET reacts with other components, the conversion process is complex, and a simple synthetic method for directly converting the waste PET into biodegradable polyester is lacked.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application mainly aims to provide a recycling method of waste PET and biodegradable copolyester prepared by the same.
In order to achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the present application provides a method for recycling waste PET, including:
(1) Mixing at least one of aliphatic polyester and an aliphatic polyester precursor with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and reacting under the catalysis of a catalyst to form a prepolymer, wherein the PET comprises at least one of waste PET and a PET finished product, and the aliphatic polyester precursor comprises a mixed system of aliphatic dihydric alcohol and aliphatic dibasic acid;
(2) And carrying out polymerization reaction on the prepolymer under the reduced pressure condition, and removing volatile compounds in a reaction system to obtain the biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyester, wherein the volatile compounds comprise at least one of volatile fatty alcohol, fatty acid and ester compounds.
According to the technical scheme, PET is directly mixed with aliphatic polyester or an aliphatic polyester precursor, the repeating unit of the aliphatic polyester or the aliphatic polyester precursor is inserted into a PET molecular chain to form a prepolymer under the catalysis condition, then the prepolymer is polymerized under the decompression condition to generate a small molecular alcohol, acid or ester compound, the small molecular alcohol, acid or ester compound is removed from a reaction system by utilizing the volatility of the small molecular alcohol, acid or ester compound, and finally the biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyester is generated. The reaction route provided by the application does not need to carry out alcoholysis on PET into monomers or oligomers and then react with other components, so that the chemical conversion step is greatly simplified.
As a preferred embodiment of the recycling method described herein, at least one of the esterification reaction, the alcoholic hydroxyl-ester transesterification reaction, the ester-ester transesterification reaction, and the acid carboxyl-ester transesterification reaction occurs in the step (1) under the catalysis of the catalyst to form the prepolymer.
As shown in formula (I), alcohol hydroxyl-ester transesterification utilizes alcohol and ester as reactants to produce a new alcohol and ester. The polyester is degraded into oligomer by the micromolecular alcohol, and the oligomer can be polymerized into high molecular weight polyester by removing the liquid micromolecular alcohol through fractional distillation.
Figure BDA0003879135300000021
The ester-ester interchange reaction is also called a chain interchange reaction as shown in formula (II), i.e., an ester-ester interchange between two molecular polyester molecular chains occurs.
Figure BDA0003879135300000031
As shown in formula (III), the acid carboxyl-ester transesterification utilizes carboxylic acid and ester as reactants to generate a new carboxylic acid and a new ester, namely, polyester can be degraded into oligomer through micromolecular carboxylic acid, and the oligomer can be polymerized into high molecular weight polyester through sublimation and removal of micromolecular solid carboxylic acid.
Figure BDA0003879135300000032
It should be noted that, when the aliphatic polyester precursor is mixed with PET in step (1), the aliphatic diol and the aliphatic diacid contained in the aliphatic polyester precursor can also directly undergo esterification reaction under catalysis to form corresponding ester substances, and meanwhile, alcoholic hydroxyl-ester transesterification, ester-ester transesterification, and acid carboxyl-ester transesterification also proceed.
When the aliphatic polyester is mixed with the PET in the step (1), the aliphatic polyester and the PET undergo ester-ester interchange reaction under catalysis.
As a preferred embodiment of the recycling method described herein, the volatile compound is generated and removed in the step (2) by at least one of an alcoholic hydroxyl-ester transesterification reaction, an ester-ester transesterification reaction, and an acid carboxyl-ester transesterification reaction.
Since the alcoholic hydroxyl-ester interchange reaction, the ester-ester interchange reaction, and the acid carboxyl-ester interchange reaction are all reversible reactions, in the polymerization reaction process of step (2), small molecular alcohol, acid, or ester compounds can be generated through the reverse reactions of the three ester interchange reactions, and the small molecular alcohol, acid, or ester compounds can be removed from the reaction system by utilizing the volatility of the small molecular alcohol, acid, or ester compounds.
For ease of understanding, the reaction mechanism involved in the recycling method of the present application will be explained below in conjunction with the reaction equation.
When the aliphatic polyester and the PET are mixed in the step (1), the corresponding reaction equation is shown as the formula (IV). It should be noted that the second step in formula (iv) utilizes the reverse reaction of the ester exchange reaction to generate the aliphatic dibasic acid, the aliphatic diol and the aliphatic ester compound, but the aliphatic ester compound has a relatively large molecular weight and cannot be volatilized and removed from the system, which is not favorable for the reverse reaction of the ester-base ester exchange reaction, and therefore, the second step in formula (iv) does not reflect the ester-base ester exchange reaction.
Figure BDA0003879135300000041
When mixing an aliphatic polyester precursor with PET in step (1), two situations may occur, including: the aliphatic dibasic alcohol is excessive, and the aliphatic dibasic acid is excessive.
When the aliphatic diol is excessive, the corresponding reaction equation is shown as the formula (V), when the aliphatic diol is excessive, the corresponding generated prepolymer is hydroxyl-terminated prepolymer, and the random copolymer with the end group being hydroxyl is generated after the prepolymer is polymerized.
Figure BDA0003879135300000042
When the aliphatic dibasic acid is in excess, the corresponding reaction equation is shown in formula (VI). When the aliphatic dibasic acid is excessive, the corresponding generated prepolymer is a carboxyl-terminated prepolymer, and a random copolymer with a carboxyl end group is generated after the prepolymer is polymerized.
Figure BDA0003879135300000051
In a preferred embodiment of the recycling method of the present application, the aliphatic polyester precursor is formed by esterification of the aliphatic diol and the aliphatic dibasic acid.
