Description

Preparation method of narrow-distribution isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of chemical preparation, in particular to a preparation method of narrow-distribution isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, the narrow-distribution isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether prepared by the preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is a polymer formed by adding isomeric alcohol and Ethylene Oxide (EO) to different degrees, belongs to a nonionic surfactant, mainly comprises isomeric polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, isomeric polyoxyethylene undecyl ether, isomeric polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether and the like, has stronger emulsifying capacity and excellent wetting permeability, and can be applied to the fields of textile printing and dyeing, industrial cleaning, personal care products, pesticide assistants and the like.
The isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is mainly prepared by starting from isomeric alcohol and reacting with ethylene oxide under the action of alkaline catalysts such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and the like, and the product prepared by the method is wide in molecular weight distribution, high in free alcohol content, large in product smell, poor in low-temperature fluidity, and relatively inconvenient to use, and the drying room material is usually needed when the temperature is low in winter. Therefore, developing a new synthesis process for preparing the narrow-distribution heterogeneous alcohol polyoxyethylene ether product with low pour point and high solid content is important.
Chinese patent CN 109679085B reports a narrow-distribution random polyether and a preparation method thereof, which prepares the narrow-distribution random polyether by a step-by-step catalysis method, firstly mixes an initiator containing active hydrogen and a first catalyst, polymerizes with epoxide, ages and degass to prepare an intermediate, and then mixes and adducts epoxide with a second catalyst to prepare the narrow-distribution random polyether, the molecular weight distribution coefficient of the product is less than 1.06, however, the method has longer aging time in the process of preparing the intermediate, and the preparation process is more complicated, thereby prolonging the reaction period, and further increasing the production cost. Chinese patent application CN 106084197A reports a preparation method of narrow-distribution polyether, which is characterized in that a composite catalyst is used for controlling the reaction temperature and time and catalyzing small molecular alcohols such as ethylene glycol and propylene oxide to polymerize to prepare the narrow-distribution polyether, but the process is not suitable for catalyzing an ethylene oxide system, mainly because double metal cyanide is used for catalyzing ethylene oxide to easily generate high molecular weight components, the comprehensive performance of the product is reduced, and the product is easily layered and is unfavorable for downstream application.
Therefore, although a certain progress is made on the technological improvement of the narrow-distribution heterogeneous alcohol polyoxyethylene ether product, the ideal product effect still cannot be achieved, and corresponding research needs to be further carried out.

Test case
The molecular weight distribution index, pour point, viscosity, free alcohol content, high EO product content, emulsifying property, etc. of the isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers prepared in each example and comparative example were tested, and the test results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 Performance test results
Note that:
1) The high EO product is an abnormally high molecular weight component with EO number greater than 20 generated during the reaction;
2) The method for evaluating the emulsifying property comprises the following steps: the oil agent is liquid paraffin, the concentration of the emulsifier is 1.0 g/L, the rotating speed is 1000 rpm, the time is 2 min, and the water-oil two-phase layering time (unit: s) is examined.
As can be seen from comparative example 1, if only double metal cyanide is used as the catalyst, the catalytic activity is high, and high molecular weight polyether is easy to generate, so that the obtained polyoxyethylene ether product has wide molecular weight distribution, high free alcohol content and high EO product content, and the polyoxyethylene ether product is easy to delaminate, and has poor stability and emulsifying property when being used in a downstream high-concentration formula.
As can be seen from comparative example 2, if an alkali hydroxide is used as a catalyst, the catalytic activity is low, and the obtained polyether product has a broad molecular weight distribution and undesirable effects such as pour point, viscosity, free alcohol content, etc. And the alkaline hydroxide is required to be subjected to neutralization, desalination and other treatment steps, and the post-treatment process is complicated.
As can be seen from comparative examples 3 and 4, if double metal cyanide and phosphazene are used as binary catalysts, the resulting polyether product is still poor in terms of molecular weight distribution, free alcohol content and the like, and the emulsifying property is still not ideal.
As can be seen from comparative example 5, if only an alkaline earth metal-polyether polyol complex catalyst is used, the molecular weight distribution of the resulting polyether product is slightly broad, the free alcohol content is too high, and a small amount of high molecular weight component is also generated, and the emulsifying property is also poor.
As can be seen from comparative example 6, if only phosphazene catalyst is used, the molecular weight distribution of the obtained polyether product is obviously narrowed, and indexes such as free alcohol content, high EO product content and the like are improved, but the emulsifying property is still not ideal, the reaction time is too long (more than 5 h), the catalyst dosage is also large, the production efficiency is low, and the industrial production is not favored.
