Description

Preparation method of polyamide 6 fiber
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of synthetic fiber preparation, and relates to a melt direct spinning preparation method of polyamide 6 fiber.
Technical Field
Polyamide 6 fibers are widely used in the fields of clothing, home textiles, electronic appliances, military industry, automobiles, etc. because of their outstanding physicochemical (wear resistance, hygroscopicity, fatigue resistance, spinnability, dyeability, etc.) properties, with the yield being that of the second synthetic fibers. In recent years, the production technology of the domestic polyamide 6 industry is continuously advanced, and especially the domestic self-supply rate of the main raw material caprolactam is greatly improved, the import dependence is continuously reduced, and the product cost is greatly reduced, so that the application of the caprolactam in the daily life fields of clothing, decoration, home textile and the like is continuously expanded. Although polyamide 6 fibers are rapidly developed in recent years, the industrial production still adopts slice spinning, and the problems of long process flow, high production energy consumption, large equipment investment and the like exist, so that the development of efficient low-carbon preparation technology is urgently needed.
At present, polyamide 6 fibers have not been melt spun for technical reasons. Compared with slice spinning, the melt direct spinning has the advantages of reducing the production processes of casting belt, granulating, hot water extraction, drying, remelting and the like, reducing equipment investment, obviously improving production efficiency and reducing production cost. The melt direct spinning of the polyamide 6 has obvious advantages from the aspects of economy and environmental protection, and is an important direction for the preparation of the polyamide 6 fiber material to develop to low energy consumption and high efficiency. To achieve direct spinning of polyamide 6 fiber melt, it is critical to directly prepare a polyamide 6 melt that can be used for spinning. The synthetic process routes for polyamide 6 can be classified into hydrolytic polymerization, anionic polymerization and solid-phase polymerization, depending on the polymerization mechanism. The hydrolysis polymerization of polyamide 6 takes water as an initiator, and raw material caprolactam is subjected to ring opening reaction, polyaddition and polycondensation reaction in a VK tube reactor to generate polyamide 6 with high molecular weight, and the polyamide 6 has narrow molecular weight distribution due to controllable reaction and mature technology, thus being a method commonly adopted in the industry at present.
In the hydrolytic polymerization of polyamide 6, the ring opening, polyaddition and polycondensation reactions of caprolactam are all reversible equilibrium reactions, and when the reaction reaches equilibrium, the conversion of caprolactam is generally about 90%, which means that about 10% of low molecular substances remain in the polymer melt (wherein caprolactam monomer is about 85% and oligomer is about 15%).
Since the melt of polyamide 6 prepared by hydrolysis and polymerization of caprolactam contains about 10% of low molecular substances, the melt cannot be directly spun. At present, the industrial solutions are: cooling and granulating the polyamide 6 melt obtained by hydrolytic polymerization, immersing the slices in circulating hot water, extracting low-molecular substances in the slices, and finally drying the extracted slices and then carrying out melt spinning. The energy consumption for hot water extraction is about 15-20% of the whole polymerization process, the time required for the hot water extraction is more than 2 times of that for hydrolytic polymerization, and a large amount of wastewater is additionally treated. The method has the advantages of long process flow, large equipment investment and high process energy consumption, remarkably increases the production cost of the polyamide 6 fiber and is not environment-friendly. Therefore, development of a novel polymerization device and a polymerization process method are urgently needed, the problem of gas phase extraction of low molecular substances in a high viscosity complex system is solved, and low molecular substances such as monomers, oligomers and the like are directly removed in the melt polymerization process of polyamide 6, so that the requirement of direct melt spinning is met.

The falling film tube in the step (2) is a round tube, a corrugated tube or a special tube, the diameter or the maximum circumcircle diameter of the falling film tube is 5-100 mm, and the tube length is 3-15 m.
The spinning forming condition in the step (3) is that the spinning temperature is 245-280 ℃, and the spinning speed is 3000-6000 m/min.
In the step (1), the addition amount of the water is 0.5-5 wt% of caprolactam; the molecular weight regulator is one or a combination of more of organic monoacid, organic dibasic acid, monoamine and diamine, and the addition amount is 0-0.8 wt% of caprolactam.

The sufficient hydrolysis ring-opening reaction of caprolactam in the VK polymerization tube is ensured by the addition amount of water, the reaction temperature and the reaction pressure, the caprolactam conversion rate is improved, and the content of monomers and oligomers in a melt is reduced. Although the improvement of the water content is favorable for caprolactam ring-opening reaction, excessive water can promote the increase of short-chain oligomers in the melt, which is unfavorable for the later molecular chain growth reaction and narrow distribution; the high temperature is favorable for ring opening reaction, but the high temperature can promote the back biting reaction of the terminal amino group on the linear chain, increase the content of the cyclic oligomer in the reaction system, and the cyclic oligomer has high melting point and is more difficult to devolatilize; the carboxyl or amino in the molecular weight regulator can react with the terminal amino or terminal carboxyl of the short-chain polymer and the long-chain polymer to consume the active reactive groups on the polymer chain, thereby inhibiting the polycondensation reaction, preventing excessive polycondensation in the falling film process from causing excessive material viscosity and widening the molecular weight distribution, and reducing the melt quality.

The polyamide 6 melt involves complex endothermic and exothermic processes such as chemical reactions, phase transition of substances and the like in the falling film flowing process of high temperature and high vacuum, so that the temperature of the whole and part of the film melt needs to be precisely controlled. The jacket type falling film kettle and the sleeve type falling film pipe structure are designed, so that a heating medium circulation mode is optimized, the heat of the melt at each stage of falling film devolatilization is supplemented or released, and the requirements of polycondensation reaction and devolatilization on temperature are met.

More advantageously, oligomers in the melt of polyamide 6 are more easily vaporized and extracted in the presence of other low boiling substances such as caprolactam, water, etc. during the falling film process; the low molecular substances such as caprolactam, water and the like wet the extraction pipeline and the condensing system, and prevent the precipitation and enrichment of the oligomer molecules on the solid wall surface in the extraction system.
