Description

Preparation method of polyethylene glycol derivative grafted polycarboxylate water reducer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of concrete water reducers, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a polyethylene glycol derivative grafted polycarboxylate type water reducer.
Background
With the continuous advancement of industrialization, the demands of large concrete engineering projects such as hydraulic and hydroelectric dams, cross-sea bridges, cross-river bridges, subways and other infrastructures on concrete mobility are increasing, because the large facilities are all poured by pumping ready-mixed concrete, and water reducing agents are important additives for improving the pumpability of cement paste.
The polycarboxylate water reducer is a concrete water reducer with better comprehensive performance in the current market, has the advantages of low mixing amount, high water reducing rate, small slump loss, high processability and the like, and can obviously improve the performance of the concrete mixture. The main mechanisms of action of polycarboxylate water reducers include electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. Through the two functions, the cement particles are not mutually coagulated in the initial mixing stage, and the flowability is enhanced.
At present, two main methods for synthesizing the polycarboxylate superplasticizer are available. One is a functional monomer copolymerization method, namely, a final product is obtained by carrying out radical copolymerization on monomers with strong polar groups such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride, sodium vinylsulfonate and the like and macromers such as Allyl Polyoxyethylene Ether (APEG), methallyl polyoxyethylene ether (TPEG), isoprenyloxy Polyoxyethylene Ether (IPEG) and the like. The other is a polymerization-before-grafting method, namely, a main chain with a certain molecular weight and containing an anhydride group or a carboxyl group is synthesized, and then an esterification reaction is utilized to graft polyethylene glycol derivative to obtain a final product. For the first method which is studied more at present, the defects are obvious, the uniform copolymerization composition is difficult to control due to the larger reactivity ratio difference of the comonomers, and meanwhile, the requirement on the process of the polymerization reaction is high, and complex operations such as stepwise dripping or separate dripping are needed. For the second method, little research is currently done. Therefore, the green and efficient synthesis of the water reducer is still an important point and a difficult point of the current research in the civil engineering community.
In order to be able to synthesize polycarboxylic acid water reducers green and efficiently, some efforts have been made in the prior art. For example, patent document 1 discloses a "method for producing a polyether-grafted polycarboxylic acid type concrete water reducing agent", which synthesizes a polyether-grafted polycarboxylic acid type water reducing agent having a polyoxyethylene ether side chain by a method of polymerization followed by functionalization. Specifically, firstly, a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer is sulfonated in 1, 2-dichloroethane by utilizing sulfur trioxide to obtain a sulfonated styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, then the sulfonated styrene maleic anhydride copolymer is mixed with polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether to obtain a polycarboxylic acid copolymer containing polyoxyethylene ether side chains, and then the polycarboxylic acid copolymer is prepared into an aqueous solution and pH is regulated by calcium hydroxide to obtain the polyether grafted polycarboxylic acid type concrete water reducer containing polyoxyethylene ether side chains.
Patent document 2 discloses a method for producing a sulfonated styrene-maleic anhydride grafted polyether type shrinkage-reducing water reducer. Similar to patent document 1, a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer is first produced, the styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer is sulfonated with sulfur trioxide in 1, 2-dichloroethane, then the resulting sulfonated styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer is mixed with polyethylene oxide propylene oxide, the resulting graft copolymer is formulated into an aqueous solution, and the pH is adjusted with a base to obtain a sulfonated styrene-maleic anhydride grafted polyether type water reducer.

By making the content of the sulfonated copolymer and the polyethylene glycol derivative within the above-described range, the progress of the grafting reaction is facilitated while avoiding the use of a large amount of solvent.
In one embodiment, the grafting reaction is carried out at a temperature of from 80 to 130℃and preferably from 100 to 120 ℃. The grafting reaction is preferably carried out with stirring. After the reaction, the resulting graft copolymer is optionally isolated and purified, for example, by separating the graft copolymer from the low-boiling polar solvent by conventional separation means such as distillation solvent (e.g., spin drying), petroleum ether precipitation, etc., and optionally drying it. Drying may be performed by drying or hot air drying or the like in a manner known in the art. Depending on the particular molecular weight, the resulting graft copolymer may be either liquid or solid.
Step (d)
Step (d) is a step of neutralizing the graft copolymer obtained in step (c) by contacting it with a base. As the alkali, one or more of alkali liquid or alkaline gas may be used. In the step (d), the sulfonic acid group and the carboxylic acid group in the polymer are required to be fully neutralized, so that the water reducer has higher adsorption and dispersion capacity.
In one embodiment, the amount of base is selected such that in a particular embodiment, the degree of neutralization is 90 mole% or greater, preferably 95 mole% or greater, more preferably 99 mole% or greater, and most preferably 100 mole%. Wherein "degree of neutralization" refers to the molar ratio of neutralized carboxyl groups relative to the total of neutralized carboxyl groups and non-neutralized carboxyl groups.
In one embodiment, the graft copolymer obtained in step (c) is neutralized by immersing in an alkaline solution, preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution and aqueous ammonia.

Preferably, the ratio of the amount of the graft copolymer to the amount of the alkali solution is adjusted, or the concentration of the alkali solution is adjusted so that the pH of the solution after the neutralization reaction is 8 to 9. By bringing the pH within this range, the sulfonic acid groups in the graft copolymer are completely neutralized, and the two carboxyl groups resulting from the acid anhydride groups are completely neutralized one by one and partially or completely neutralized the other. In the case where the carboxyl group is partially neutralized, after the water reducing agent is added to the concrete, the water reducing agent is converted into a completely neutralized state due to the higher pH of the concrete. The inventors found that the water reducer obtained by adjusting the pH of the solution after the neutralization reaction to 8 to 9 can increase the fluidity of the cement paste and improve the fluidity.
In the embodiment using lye, water is optionally added after neutralization so that the resulting water-reducing agent solution has a solids content of 20 to 50 wt.%, more preferably 30 to 40 wt.%.
In embodiments where the neutralization reaction is carried out using lye, one or more post-treatment operations of separating, washing or drying the resulting water reducer are optionally also included.
