Description

Anionic polymerization continuous polymerization process for methyl methacrylate
Technical Field
The invention relates to a continuous polymerization process for anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of polymethyl methacrylate high polymer materials.
Background
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic, acrylic or plexiglass, is polymerized from Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). PMMA has excellent light transmittance, good apparent glossiness, excellent weather resistance, light weight, high definition, extremely strong impact resistance and good post-processing performance. Because of low price, energy conservation and environmental protection, the material has successfully replaced glass and is widely applied to traffic, sanitary ware, advertising light boxes, medical science, optics, IT industries and the like.
The existing polymethyl methacrylate polymerization method comprises free radical polymerization, anion polymerization and living free radical polymerization, the polymerization technology comprises three processes of suspension polymerization, solution polymerization and bulk polymerization, the suspension polymerization process is the main process of small-scale intermittent production, and the solution polymerization and the bulk polymerization process are adopted for large-scale continuous production.
The suspension polymerization uses water as a continuous phase, the viscosity of the system is low, the material viscosity is not greatly changed in the reaction process, the polymerization reaction heat is easy to remove, the temperature is easy to control, the production operation is safer, the process flow is short, the method can be directly used for molding processing, the technology is mature, the equipment investment cost is low, and the method is the most traditional method adopted in all countries of the world. However, suspension polymerization has low productivity, is not suitable for large-scale continuous production, and requires complicated steps such as filtration, washing, drying and the like in the manufacturing process, so that the production efficiency is reduced. Because of the problems of poor purity of the product and a large amount of sewage, the product cannot meet the requirements of product quality and environmental protection, and the product is gradually eliminated.
The solution polymerization method has low viscosity of the polymerization system, easy control of mass transfer and heat transfer, stable control of operation conditions, large-scale continuous production and no sewage treatment problem. However, the polymerization system contains a large amount of solvent, so that the monomer concentration is low, the polymerization rate is low, and the equipment utilization rate and the production capacity are low; the polymer solution needs to be subjected to post-treatment processes such as multi-stage flash evaporation devolatilization, granulation and the like to obtain a resin product; meanwhile, a large amount of removed solvent and unreacted monomers need to be rectified and purified, and are recovered and reused, so that the energy consumption of post-treatment is high, and the production cost is increased.
The bulk polymerization method is continuous production, advanced in production technology, purer in product, high in transparency, low in energy consumption for post-treatment, and applicable to the market of high-end PMMA products, and only a small amount of unreacted monomers need to be recovered. However, the viscosity of the polymerization system is high, and the mass transfer and heat transfer are relatively difficult to control, so that the requirements on equipment and the technological operation process are severe.
The polymerization process adopted by the polymerization method ensures the safety and conversion rate problems in the polymerization engineering by using a high-pressure reaction kettle. However, for high conversion and high activity polymerization systems, the viscosity of the high conversion polymerization system increases dramatically, resulting in serious pole climbing. Therefore, for a high activity and high conversion system, a continuous polymerization process is provided, which can greatly reduce the preparation cost and improve the production efficiency. In addition, providing a process for preparing polymethyl methacrylate with mild reaction conditions, simple operation, high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution is a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
