Abstract
The present invention provides a water-absorbent resin and a method for producing the same, which comprises subjecting a water-absorbent resin composition to a radical polymerization reaction to obtain a gel. The gel is crushed and screened to obtain water-absorbent resin particles. The water-absorbent resin particles are subjected to a surface crosslinking reaction with a surface crosslinking agent and a reactive polymer to obtain a water-absorbent resin.

Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a water-absorbent resin and a method for producing the same, and more particularly, to a water-absorbent resin having a preferable liquid flow conductivity and a method for producing the same.
Background
The water-absorbent resin has wide applicability such as agricultural or horticultural water retention agents, dew condensation inhibitors in construction materials, materials for removing water from petroleum, outer water-proof coating agents in electric cables, personal hygiene products (e.g., paper diapers, feminine hygiene products, disposable wipes, etc.), and paper diapers are used as bulk materials.
The absorption properties of a diaper depend on the absorption rate, the absorption capacity and the dryness. In recent years, paper diapers have been aimed at thinning by reducing the amount of pulp (hydrophilic fibers) and increasing the amount of water-absorbent resin, so that thinning of paper diapers is achieved by increasing the proportion of water-absorbent resin in the absorbent structure of the paper diapers. However, the reduced amount of hydrophilic fiber results in a reduced water storage space in a short period of time, and the liquid penetration rate is slowed down, so that the liquid is not absorbed and leaks. In addition, the water-absorbent resin must have a high permeability to liquid in addition to a good absorption rate. If the permeability of the liquid is poor, the water-absorbent resin may clog the gaps between the particles when absorbing the liquid, and a colloid clogging phenomenon may be formed, which may cause the liquid to flow out of the absorber of the diaper, and further, the absorption performance of the diaper may be lowered.
Therefore, it is one of the important points in the current research in the art to improve the absorption rate and permeability of the water-absorbent resin. In the conventional method, polyvalent metal cations (polyvalent metal cation) may be used for surface modification or aluminum dihydroxyacetate may be used to enhance the liquid flow conductivity of the water-absorbent resin. It is also possible to use a thermoplastic polymer such as polyethylene or polypropylene in the heat treatment step or to add an azo compound containing an amino group as a foaming agent to an aqueous acid group-containing monomer solution to enhance the liquid permeability of the water-absorbent resin. In addition, the encapsulated foaming agent (encapsulated blowing agent) or the water-soluble alkoxysilane compound is added into the acid group-containing monomer aqueous solution, so that the prepared water-absorbent resin has better absorption rate or good colloid stability respectively. In addition, conventionally, the water-soluble polyvalent metal powder, the adhesive and the water-absorbent resin are mixed to improve the diffusivity and the liquid permeability of the water-absorbent resin after absorbing the liquid.
In addition, the existing water-absorbent resin is subjected to surface cross-linking treatment, and further bridging is carried out on the surface of the water-absorbent resin, so that the effects of improving the absorption rate, improving the colloid strength, improving the caking resistance, improving the liquid permeability and the like are achieved. For example, the conventional method comprises dispersing a water-absorbent resin and a crosslinking agent in an organic solvent to perform a surface crosslinking treatment; or mixing inorganic powder into the water-absorbent resin for crosslinking treatment; or adding a crosslinking agent and then treating with steam; or performing surface treatment by using an organic solvent, water and polyalcohol; or surface treatment with an organic solvent, water, or an ether compound. However, the conventional surface treatment method can improve the absorption rate and the water absorption capacity under pressure, but the retention of the water-absorbent resin may be greatly reduced, and the effect of practical application may be reduced.
In view of the above, there is a need for providing a water-absorbent resin and a method for producing the same, which can achieve both of an improvement in the liquid flow conductivity and the water absorption capacity under pressure of the water-absorbent resin, and which can maintain a high retention force.

Detailed Description
As used herein, "about", "near" or "substantially" generally means within 20 percent, or within 10 percent, or within 5 percent of the stated value or range.
In view of the foregoing, the present invention provides a water-absorbent resin and a method for producing the same, which can achieve the effect of improving the liquid flow conductivity and the water absorption capacity under pressure of the water-absorbent resin by the reaction of a polymer and a surface crosslinking reaction, and can maintain a high retention force of the water-absorbent resin, thereby achieving practical applicability.
The method for producing a water-absorbent resin according to the present invention comprises subjecting a water-absorbent resin composition to a radical polymerization reaction to obtain a gel. In some embodiments, the water-absorbent resin composition includes an aqueous unsaturated monomer solution, a polymerization initiator, and a free radical polymerization crosslinking agent.
In some embodiments, the aqueous solution of the unsaturated monomer in the water-absorbent resin composition includes an acid-based monomer having an unsaturated double bond, such as acrylic acid. In some embodiments, the aqueous unsaturated monomer solution may be methacrylic acid, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, marlin acid (maleic acid), maleic anhydride, fumaric acid (fumaric acid), and fumaric anhydride. The aqueous unsaturated monomer solution may include, but is not limited to, one monomer, and two or more of the above-mentioned aqueous monomer solutions may be selected.
In some embodiments, the concentration of the aqueous unsaturated monomer solution may be, but is not limited to, 20wt% to 55wt%, preferably 30wt% to 45wt%. Generally, when the concentration of the aqueous acid-based monomer solution is 20wt% to 55wt%, the viscosity of the polymerized product is moderate, the mechanical processing is easy, and the reaction heat in the free radical polymerization reaction is easy to control.
In other embodiments, other hydrophilic monomers having unsaturated double bonds may be optionally added, such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, 2-carboxyethyl acrylate, 2-carboxyethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, dimethylacrylamide, and chlorinated acrylamido trimethylamine. However, the amount of the hydrophilic monomer to be added is not to deteriorate the physical properties (e.g., retention and absorption rate) of the water-absorbent resin.
In some embodiments, the aqueous acid-based monomer solution may be polymerized directly; or the neutralization agent is utilized to carry out partial neutralization, so that the acid-based monomer aqueous solution becomes neutral or weak acid, and then the polymerization reaction is carried out. In such embodiments, the neutralizing agent comprises an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal group hydroxide or carbonate compound (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate), an amine compound, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the neutralization concentration of the aqueous acid-based monomer solution is 45 mole% to 85 mole%. When the neutralization concentration of the acid-based monomer aqueous solution is in the above range, the acid-based monomer aqueous solution may have a pH value suitable for radical polymerization, and may reduce the damage caused by careless contact with the human body. It is added that the neutralization concentration described herein is defined as the ratio of the number of moles of the basic solution to the number of moles of the aqueous acid-based monomer solution, and can also be regarded as the percentage of the acid groups of the aqueous acid-based monomer solution that are neutralized.
In some embodiments, the aqueous acid-based monomer solution has a pH of not less than 5.5, preferably from 5.5 to 7.0, more preferably from 5.5 to 6.5. If the pH of the aqueous acid-based monomer solution is 5.5 to 7.0, a large amount of unreacted monomers are less likely to remain in the aqueous solution after polymerization, and the physical properties of the water-absorbent resin to be produced later are better and the absorption amount is larger.
In some embodiments, a water-soluble polymer may be optionally added to the water-absorbent resin composition to reduce the production cost. In some embodiments, the water-soluble polymer comprises partially or fully saponified polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, starch or starch derivatives (e.g., methylcellulose acrylate, ethylcellulose, etc.), preferably starch and partially or fully saponified polyvinyl alcohol, alone or in combination. In the foregoing examples, the molecular weight of the water-soluble polymer is not limited, and the amount of the water-soluble polymer to be added is usually 0 to 20% by weight, preferably 0 to 10% by weight, more preferably 0 to 5% by weight, based on the amount of the unsaturated monomer aqueous solution taken as 100% by weight, in order not to deteriorate the physical properties of the water-absorbent resin.
The prepolymerization starts with the decomposition of the polymerization initiator to generate radicals. In some embodiments, the polymerization initiator is suitably used in an amount of 0.001 to 10wt%, preferably 0.1 to 5wt%, based on 100wt% of the aqueous unsaturated monomer solution. If the amount of the polymerization initiator is within the above range, the rate of radical polymerization is appropriate, the economic efficiency is good, the heat of reaction is easily controlled, and the formation of gel-like solids due to excessive polymerization can be avoided.
In some embodiments, the polymerization initiator comprises a thermal decomposition type initiator, a redox type initiator, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the thermally decomposed initiator comprises a peroxide [ e.g., hydrogen peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, a peroxy amide or persulfate (including ammonium and alkali metal salts) ] and an azo compound [ e.g., 2-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride, 2-azobis (N, N-dimethylene isobutyridine) dihydrochloride ]. In some embodiments, the redox initiator comprises an acidic sulfite, ascorbic acid, or a ferrous salt. The polymerization initiator is preferably used in combination with a thermal decomposition type initiator and a redox type initiator, which are first allowed to react to generate radicals, and when the radicals are transferred to the monomer, the progress of the polymerization is initiated, and a large amount of heat released from the polymerization increases the temperature of the reaction system. When the reaction system reaches a specific temperature, the decomposition of the thermal decomposition initiator can be further initiated to make the polymerization more complete, so that excessive unreacted monomers can be avoided.
The radical polymerization crosslinking agent in the water-absorbent resin composition can provide the water-absorbent resin composition with an appropriate degree of crosslinking, thereby improving the workability of the water-absorbent resin composition after the polymerization reaction. In some embodiments, the free radical polymerization crosslinking agent may be selected from compounds containing two or more unsaturated double bonds, such as N, N-bis (2-propenyl) amine, N, N-methydiacrylamide, N, N-methydrylene bisacrylamide, acrylic acid propylene ester, ethylene glycol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, glycerol trimethacrylate, glycerol ethylene oxide-added triacrylate or trimethacrylate, trimethylol propane triacrylate, N, N, N-tris (2-propenyl) amine, ethylene glycol diacrylate, polyoxyethylene glycerol triacrylate, diethyl polyoxyethylene glycerol triacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, and the like. In some embodiments, the free radical polymerization crosslinking agent may be selected from compounds containing two or more epoxy groups, such as sorbitol polyglycidyl ether, polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, diglycerol polyglycidyl ether, and the like. Two or more radical polymerization crosslinking agents may be used singly or in combination.
In some embodiments, the free radical polymerization crosslinker is present at 0.001wt% to 5wt%, preferably 0.01wt% to 3wt%, based on 100wt% aqueous acid-based monomer solution. If the amount of the radical polymerization crosslinking agent added is within the above-mentioned range, the aqueous polymer solution after the reaction has a moderate viscosity, is relatively easy to machine, and the subsequent water-absorbent resin obtained has a large absorption amount, i.e., the water-absorbent resin has a good performance.
In some embodiments, the radical polymerization reaction described above may be performed in a batch reaction vessel or a conveyor reactor.
In some embodiments, the gel may optionally be cut with a grinder to a particle size of no more than 20mm, preferably no more than 10mm, prior to the screening step. In some embodiments, the screening step first screens out gels having a particle size of less than 2.0mm, preferably 0.05mm to 1.50mm. The gel with the particle size of more than 2.0mm is returned to the reactor for re-shredding. The particle size is controlled within the above range to avoid the generation of higher amounts of fines in the back-end process, and to provide good thermal conductivity to avoid excessive residual monomer in the final product. Generally, the narrower the particle size distribution of the gel, the better the physical properties and the benefits of the subsequent drying process.
In some embodiments, the gel may optionally be subjected to a drying process prior to subsequent operations. In some embodiments, the drying process is performed at a temperature of 100 ℃ to 180 ℃. The drying process is carried out by utilizing the temperature range, so that the drying time can be effectively controlled, and the crosslinking degree can be effectively controlled, thereby avoiding a large amount of unreacted monomers from remaining.
Next, the method for producing the water-absorbent resin comprises pulverizing and screening the gel to obtain water-absorbent resin particles. In some embodiments, the particle diameter of the water-absorbent resin particles is selected to be 0.06mm to 1.00mm, preferably 0.10mm to 0.85mm. Controlling the particle diameter of the water-absorbent resin particles to the above-mentioned range can reduce the amount of fine powder of the finished product and can make the absorption performance of the water-absorbent resin better. Similarly, the narrower the particle size distribution of the water-absorbent resin, the better the physical properties.
Then, the water-absorbent resin particles, the surface cross-linking agent and the reaction polymer are subjected to a surface cross-linking reaction to obtain the water-absorbent resin. Because the water-absorbent resin is a hydrophilic polymer which is not dissolved, the inside of the resin has a uniform bridging structure, and further bridging is needed on the surface of the resin in order to improve the absorption rate, the colloid strength, the anti-caking property, the body permeability and other characteristics. The surface crosslinking reaction is performed by using a surface crosslinking agent having a functional group capable of reacting with an acid group. In addition, in order to further improve the liquid flow conductivity of the water-absorbent resin produced, the present invention adds a reactive polymer such as an ionic polymer (ionomer) to collectively perform a surface crosslinking reaction.
In some embodiments, the surface cross-linking agent includes a polyol, a polyamine, a compound having two or more epoxy groups, and an alkylene carbonate, where the polyol may be, for example, glycerol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and propylene glycol; the polyamine may be, for example, ethylenediamine, diethylenediamine, and triethylenediamine; the epoxy group-containing compound may be, for example, sorbitol polyglycidyl ether, polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, and diglycerol polyglycidyl ether; alkylene carbonates can be, for example, ethylene glycol carbonate, 4-methyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-one, 4, 5-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-one, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-one, 4-ethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-one, 1, 3-dioxan-2-one, 4, 6-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxan-2-one and 1, 3-dioxan-2-one. The reaction may be carried out by mixing two or more surface crosslinking agents singly or in combination. In addition, the surface cross-linking agent can be directly added according to the selected surface cross-linking agent, or the surface cross-linking agent is firstly prepared into aqueous solution or hydrophilic organic solution and then added. Hydrophilic organic solvents include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isobutanol, acetone, methyl ether, diethyl ether, and the like.
In some embodiments, the surface cross-linking agent is added in an amount of 0.001 to 10wt%, preferably 0.005 to 5wt%, based on 100wt% of the water-absorbent resin particles. When the amount of the surface cross-linking agent added is within the above range, the surface of the water-absorbent resin can be provided with a bridging structure, thereby achieving a preferable absorption performance.
The water-absorbent resin and the reaction polymer are uniformly mixed to effectively achieve the effect of the invention, so that a mixing device with better mixing effect is needed. In some embodiments, the mixing device may be a V-type mixer, a column mixer, a high-speed stirring mixer, a screw mixer, a gas flow mixer, a double arm kneader, a double arm conical mixer, a ribbon mixer, a close-ended mixer, a pulverizing kneader, a rotating mixer, or a screw extruder.
The ionic polymer is a polymer comprising a repeating unit composed of ionic units in a macromolecule of electrically neutral repeating units, wherein the ionic groups are part of the actual polymer backbone. In some embodiments, the ionic group may be, for example, a carboxylic acid group. In such embodiments, the ionic polymer may be an ethylene-acrylic acid compound (EAA) comprising a polyethylene segment having the following formula (1) and a compound having a polyacrylic acid segment having the following formula (2),
wherein M is a hydrogen atom, a group IA element (e.g., lithium, sodium, or potassium), or a group IIA element (e.g., calcium or magnesium). In this example, the polyethylene segment is 80 to 99wt% and the polyacrylic segment is 1 to 20wt% based on 100wt% of the ethylene acrylic acid polymer.
In other embodiments, the ionic polymer may be an ethylene acrylic acid compound having the following formula (3):
wherein M is a hydrogen atom, a group IA element (e.g., lithium, sodium, or potassium), or a group IIA element (e.g., calcium or magnesium). In some embodiments, M is preferably a group IA element.
In some embodiments, the weight of the polyacrylic acid segment (i.e., formula (2)) is 8wt% to 20wt% in the ethylene acrylic acid compound, based on 100wt% of the weight of the polyethylene segment (i.e., formula (1)). In the ethylene acrylic acid compound, the polyethylene chain segment is a hydrophobic group, and the polyacrylic acid chain segment is a hydrophilic group, so that the ethylene acrylic acid compound is easier to absorb water. Therefore, if the polyethylene segment is too large (for example, the weight of the polyacrylic acid segment is less than 8 wt%), the absorption capacity of the water-absorbent resin is lowered; on the other hand, if the polyacrylic acid segment is too large (for example, the weight of the polyacrylic acid segment is more than 20 wt%), the ionic polymer itself absorbs moisture in the atmosphere to generate caking, and the mixing effect with the water-absorbent resin particles is poor, so that the desired effect of the present invention cannot be achieved.
In some embodiments, the reactive polymer is added in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight based on 100% by weight of the water-absorbent resin particles. When the amount of the reactive polymer to be added is within the above range, the effect of improving the absorption capacity (for example, the absorption capacity under pressure) of the water-absorbent resin can be effectively obtained.
In some embodiments where the ionomer is an ethylene acrylic acid compound, the surface cross-linking reaction described above comprises heat treating at a temperature of 150 ℃ to 210 ℃. The ethylene acrylic acid compound can be completely melted by heat treatment at the above temperature, and a water-absorbent resin having a good quality, that is, a water-absorbent resin having a good water-absorbing ability can be obtained.
As described above, the present invention can produce a water-absorbent resin which can have liquid flow conductivity (saline flow conductivity, SFC) which can be used for evaluating liquid permeability. When the water-absorbent resin has a good liquid permeability, the problems of rewet, poor dryness and leakage of the absorbent body can be reduced. The liquid flow conductivity means that the water-absorbent resin has liquid permeability under high pressure after absorbing liquid, and when a further liquid enters the absorber, the further liquid easily passes through the water-absorbent resin having absorbed the liquid and diffuses into the other water-absorbent resin having not absorbed the liquid. The water-absorbent resin of the present invention has a liquid flow conductivity of not less than 30X 10 -7 cm 3 S/g, preferably not less than 40X 10 -7 cm 3 -s/g。
Further, the water-absorbent resin should have a good retention force (Centrifuge Retention Capacity, CRC) and a water absorption capacity under pressure (absorption against pressure, AAP) to ensure that the water-absorbent resin is not damaged or the ability to absorb liquid is not affected by the pressure applied to the absorber from the outside after absorbing the liquid. In some embodiments, the retention force of the water-absorbent resin of the present invention is not less than 20g/g, preferably not less than 25g/g. In some embodiments, the water-absorbent resin of the present invention has a water absorption capacity under pressure of more than 15g/g, preferably more than 20g/g, more preferably more than 23g/g.
In addition, the ability of the dried water-absorbent resin to absorb a liquid when it is initially contacted with the liquid can be expressed as a T20 value. When the water-absorbent resin has a low T20 value, it means that the dried water-absorbent resin easily absorbs the liquid. The T20 value of the water-absorbent resin of the present invention is not more than 180 seconds, preferably not more than 160. Incidentally, the T20 value is defined as the time required for 1g of the water-absorbent resin to absorb 20g of physiological saline and 0.01% by weight of an aqueous alcohol ethoxylate having 12 to 14 carbon atoms under a pressure of 0.3 psi. In some embodiments, the T20 value of the water-absorbent resin of the present invention is less than 180 seconds, preferably less than 160 seconds. The water absorbent resin has a low T20 value and high liquid flow conductivity, can reduce the rewet amount of the absorber, and improves the dryness of the diaper.
The absorbent body is formed into a sheet-like absorbent body by using the water-absorbent resin and the hydrophilic fiber of the present invention. In practice, the absorbent body may be placed on a liquid impermeable Polyethylene (PE) film, and a liquid permeable nonwoven fabric may be used as the top sheet; or fixing the water absorbent resin to the pulp fiber material (air) and/or the nonwoven fabric. The pulp fibers may be comminuted wood pulp, cross-linked cellulose fibers, cotton, wool, vinyl acetate fibers, and the like. Generally, the content of the water-absorbent resin (or referred to as core concentration) in the absorbent is 20 to less than 100wt%, preferably 40 to less than 100wt%, more preferably 50 to less than 100wt%, based on 100wt% of the absorbent. The effect of the present invention can be more remarkably exhibited by using the water-absorbent resin having such a high core concentration. In general, the basis weight (weight per unit area) of the absorbent is 0.01g/cm 2 To 0.30g/cm 2 And the thickness of the absorber is not more than 30mm.
