Description

Preparation method of bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of antioxidants for high polymer materials, in particular to a preparation method of bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite.
Background
The polymer is easy to be oxidized by oxygen in air under the action of light and heat in the processing and long-term use processes, so that the polymer has the disadvantages of losing physical properties, changing color, cracking, losing glossiness and the like, and the appearance becomes unaesthetic, so that an antioxidant is required to be added to improve the processing stability and long-term stability of the polymer. Antioxidants, when present in small amounts in polymer systems, retard or inhibit the progress of the oxidation process of the polymer, thereby preventing the aging of the polymer and extending its useful life, also known as "antioxidants".
The antioxidant mainly comprises hindered phenol antioxidants, phosphite antioxidants or thio antioxidants, etc. The phosphite antioxidant is a processing stabilizer antioxidant with excellent performance, not only improves the processing stability of the polymer and protects the stability of the polymer in the processing process, but also has good color stability, and has wide application in high polymer materials such as polyolefin, styrene polymer or polyvinyl chloride, and the like, and the existing typical products comprise antioxidant 168, TNPP, 626, and the like. 168 and 626 are high-melting-point solid phosphite antioxidants, TNPP is liquid phosphite antioxidants, and nonylphenol which is one of main raw materials for synthesizing TNPP can cause female phenomenon of male fishes at the downstream of a sewage treatment plant, and is an endocrine disrupter or environmental hormone organic matter with estrogen effect. Through researches, nonylphenol has an interference effect on endocrine of human and wild animals, so TNPP using nonylphenol as a main raw material is gradually limited. The antioxidant 168 has the advantage of low production cost as the antioxidant with the largest sales volume, but has general application performance and poor high temperature resistance, and can not meet the high performance requirement of high-end products. In contrast, the antioxidant 626 has good application performance, but still cannot meet the processing requirements of high-end products, has poor hydrolysis resistance and is very easy to hydrolyze.
At present, the antioxidant bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite has the advantages of high molecular weight, low volatility, high phosphorus content (7.3%), large molecular weight (852) and high melting point (220-230 ℃), has remarkable anti-yellowing and high-temperature degradation protection effects in the processing process, has excellent high-temperature stability and low volatility at high temperature, and is widely applied to polymer materials and products with high requirements on thermal stability, such as engine accessories and radiators in the automotive field, dish washers, ovens, microwave ovens, dryers and the like in household appliances, and the materials are required to be resistant to high temperature, brittle fracture and yellowing. The bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite can maintain the hydrolytic stability even if exposed to a humid environment, and the bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite cannot generate coking like other phosphite products due to the good hydrolytic resistance, so that the black spots of the polymer appear and the filter screen of an extrusion system is blocked, and the production processing and the product quality are affected. Meanwhile, the bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite can show good color and melt processing stability at different processing temperatures, can still well protect the color and melt stability of products under the condition of multiple extrusion, and has good application prospects in the plastic modification industry, particularly in the engineering plastic fields such as PC, PA polyamide (nylon), PET, PBT polyester, PPO, PPS, polyether and the like due to the extraordinary high-temperature stability.
However, the existing antioxidant bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite has fewer industrialized products, and the main reasons are that the product has large molecular weight and large preparation difficulty, the existing production technology is immature, the energy consumption is high, the product conversion rate is low, and the quality is unstable.

Aiming at the problems of immature production technology of bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite, high energy consumption, low product conversion rate and unstable product quality in the prior art, the invention provides a preparation method of bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite, which comprises the following steps:

In some embodiments of the present invention, it is preferable to reflux the reaction solution of bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite at a temperature of 125℃to 135℃and a vacuum of-0.04 MPa to-0.06 MPa for 1 to 3 hours.
After the completion of the reduced pressure reaction, the solvent was removed. The removal of the solvent in the present invention is preferably carried out by distillation under reduced pressure, and in some embodiments is specifically divided into two steps, the first step: treating for 20-30 min at 130+/-10 ℃ and the vacuum degree of minus 0.06MPa to minus 0.08 MPa; and a second step of: treating at 130-150 deg.c and vacuum degree of-0.07 MPa to-0.098 MPa, and receiving distilled solvent until no distillate exists.

Wherein, the temperature is fluctuated during the reaction process, but the temperature is controlled within +/-5 ℃, and the distillation temperature of the second step is preferably higher than that of the first step in the invention, namely, the distillation from the first step to the second step is heating treatment. The solvent obtained by removal can be used for subsequent reaction, can also be directly recovered and used for other reaction solvents, and can effectively reduce economic cost.
After the solvent is removed, a post-refining treatment step is also included to further improve the purity of the product. The refining post-treatment comprises the following steps: the obtained product is dissolved, filtered and the solvent is removed, and then recrystallized. In some embodiments of the invention, the post-refining treatment is specifically: (1) Mixing the obtained product with a first solvent, heating to 130-140 ℃, regulating the pH to be more than 12, and then filtering and removing the solvent; (2) Mixing the obtained product with a second solvent, heating to 135-145 ℃, and then cooling for crystallization. Wherein the first solvent and the second solvent are independently selected from xylene and/or toluene, the process of removing the solvent is referred to the corresponding content in the above technical scheme, and will not be described herein, and the temperature of the cooling crystallization is preferably reduced to below 20 ℃. In the invention, the step (1) is used for dissolving and filtering, is mainly used for removing some impurities which are insoluble in the bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite, is used for absorbing HCl generated in the previous reaction and the process of the program temperature and pressure control reaction, the step (2) is used for removing some impurities which are slightly soluble in the bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite by recrystallization, and the steps (1) and (2) are matched, so that the purity of the product can be further improved. In some embodiments of the present invention, the crystallization after cooling preferably further comprises centrifugation, washing and drying steps, and after the centrifugation, the centrifugation mother liquor may be taken and the solvent may be further distilled for recovery. In some embodiments of the present invention, it is preferred that the solid obtained by centrifugation is washed with an alcoholic solvent, such as isopropanol, and dried to obtain the target product, i.e., bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite. The washing mother liquor obtained after washing can also be distilled to recover the alcohol solvent, so that the waste of the solvent is avoided.
The preparation method of the bis (2, 4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite provided by the invention adopts the mixture of urotropine and trimethylamine and/or triethylamine as a composite catalyst for the early reaction of pentaerythritol and phosphorus trichloride, and compared with the prior art which adopts single triethylamine or amine hydrochloride and single urotropine or trimethylamine as a catalyst, the preparation method can achieve high-efficiency synergistic catalysis, can effectively accelerate the reaction speed, better shorten the reaction time, reduce the energy consumption, and can control the stable and efficient reaction and further improve the product conversion rate and the product quality through the cooperation of the subsequent reaction of an intermediate and cumylphenol, the decompression reaction, the solvent removal and the fine post-treatment operation. In addition, 2, 4-dicumyl phenol (high temperature resistant hindered phenol) is adopted as a raw material in the method, compared with the 2, 4-di-tert-butylphenol commonly used in the prior art, the method is safer, healthier and environment-friendly, and solvents involved in the preparation method can be recycled, so that the turnover quantity is reduced, and the economic cost is reduced.
