Description

Preparation method of bio-based polytetrahydrofuran
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of bio-based polytetrahydrofuran.
Background
The bio-based polytetrahydrofuran is also called polytetramethylene ether glycol, and is called PTMEG for short. The chemical structure is as follows:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
the bio-based polytetrahydrofuran is also called polytetramethylene ether glycol, PTMEG for short, polytetramethylene ether glycol and tetrahydrofuran polyether, is a linear polyether diol with different molecular weights prepared by cationic initiated ring opening polymerization of monomer tetrahydrobrane, has main chain comprising carbon-carbon bond and ether bond and high flexibility, and is used as soft segment material for block copolymerization with polyurethane or polyvinyl acetate to prepare elastomer. The soft segment does not contain unsaturated bonds, so that the soft segment has better aging resistance; and because the polyether does not contain a cool bond, the polyether has better hydrolysis resistance, and the block product prepared from various aliphatic polyethers has the best mechanical property, so that the polyether is widely applied to industrial production of petrochemical industry, machinery, military industry, shipbuilding, automobiles, synthetic leather and the like.
Currently, the focus of research is mainly on the selection and utilization of catalysts. The catalytic reaction system is divided into a homogeneous catalytic system and a heterogeneous catalytic system. Homogeneous catalyst: essentially comprising, ionic catalysts, e.g. [ EtO ] 3 ]BF 4 It has the characteristics of high initiation efficiency, high reaction rate and the like; however, the obtained polymer has alkoxy at the end and is not easy to be converted into light end groups, so the application value in industrial production is not great. Carbenium catalysts, triphenylcarbenium ionsThe catalyst has the characteristics of very high reaction rate and narrow molecular weight distribution under the condition of low conversion rate, but has the defects of large molecular weight change and difficult control; the catalyst system is also the most widely researched and most productive catalyst. The use of superacids to initiate tetrahydroxyfurans is the simplest and most straightforward method for the preparation of double-ended light-based tetrahydroxyfurans. Fuming sulfuric acid, fluorosulfonic acid, acetic acid complex perchloric acid, etc. are used more frequently in homogeneous systems. Heterogeneous catalytic system: essentially comprising, immobilizing a liquid acid, e.g. HF/Al 2 O 3 (ii) a Oxides, e.g. Al 2 O 3 ,SiO 2 Etc.; sulfides, znS, and the like; metal salt of Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 、CuSO 4 Etc.; molecular sieves, ZSM-5, zeolite, etc.; heteropoly acids; cation exchange resins; natural clays; solid super acids, and the like.
In the homogeneous catalytic system, the acid is fully contacted with the raw material, and participates in chemical reaction in a molecular form, so that the catalytic activity is higher at lower temperature. However, the catalyst has many problems in the actual chemical production, such as generation of a large amount of waste liquid, pollution to the environment, severe corrosion to production equipment, frequent maintenance of the equipment, great increase of production cost, formation of a homogeneous body of the catalyst, raw materials and products, complex post-treatment, and difficulty in realizing continuous production in industry. Compared with liquid acid catalysts, solid acid catalysts have the following advantages: the catalyst has the advantages of no corrosion to equipment, easy treatment and storage, easy separation after reaction, realization of industrial continuous production, easy regeneration, high stability and elimination of pollution caused by waste liquid, but the catalyst is often low in catalytic efficiency. Limiting the development of the use thereof.

The products prepared in examples 1 to 7 under different conditions were tested as follows:
TABLE 1 product test results under different conditions
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
And (4) conclusion: from a comparison of the results of examples 1, 5 and 7, it can be seen that: the molecular weight and the conversion rate of the polymer can be increased by properly increasing the reaction temperature, and the molecular weight of the product is reduced on the contrary though the conversion rate of tetrahydrofuran can be increased if the reaction temperature is too high; from a comparison of the results of examples 1 to 4, it can be seen that: the molecular weight of the polymerization product increased with increasing amount of tetrahydrofuran, but the conversion rate gradually became lower; from a comparison of the results of examples 1 and 6, it can be seen that: the proper increase of the feeding amount of the regulator can increase the conversion rate of tetrahydrofuran and the molecular weight of the polymer.
In the following, we carried out experiments with a reaction temperature of 55 ℃ and a regulator dosage of 15% of the mass of tetrahydrofuran.

TABLE 2 product testing results for different catalysts
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
And (4) conclusion: the results in Table 2 show that the reaction proceeds more advantageously due to the stronger acidity, and we prefer HND-31 as the catalyst.
The following examine different CO 2 Reaction conditions under fluid concentration conditions.
Example 13
The procedure was as in example 8, CO being introduced by means of a high-pressure pump 2 And cutting off the valve after the pressure in the kettle reaches 5.0MPa, and continuously punching to 7.2MPa by using nitrogen.
Example 14
The procedure was as in example 8, with continued flushing to 7.2MPa by means of a high-pressure pump using nitrogen.
Example 15
The procedure was as in example 8, CO being introduced by means of a high-pressure pump 2 So that the pressure in the kettle reaches 9.0MPa.
The results of the product tests of examples 13 to 17 were compared with those of example 8 as follows:
TABLE 3 different CO 2 Product test results under partial pressure conditions
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
And (4) conclusion: as can be seen from comparison of the results of the tests of the products in examples 8 and 13 to 15, with CO 2 The partial pressure decreases, i.e. with tetrahydrofuran in CO 2 The concentration ratio in the product is increased, the conversion rate of tetrahydrofuran and the molecular weight of the product are obviously reduced, if CO is not used 2 When used as a solvent, the tetrahydrofuran conversion was very low, and a comparison of the results of examples 8 and 15 shows that the increase in CO continues 2 Partial pressure, tetrahydrofuran conversion and product molecular weight increase were insignificant, and we prefer to use the process of example 8 to ensure safe operation and improve production efficiency.
From the above results, it can be seen that: increasing the amount of biobased tetrahydrofuran in CO 2 In the middle, can reduce the raw materialMolecular weight of the glycosyl polytetrahydrofuran; the reaction temperature is properly increased, so that the molecular weight can be increased, and the conversion rate can be increased; the molecular weight and conversion are slightly increased by increasing the amount of the regulator.
