Description

Preparation method of bottle-grade regenerated polyester chips
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of bottle-grade regenerated polyester chips, belonging to the technical field of preparation of high polymer materials for packaging bottles.
Background
Polyester bottles are the most common variety in plastic packaging bottles, and have a proportion of more than 70% and a annual consumption of more than 800 ten thousand tons. The main raw material for preparing the polyester bottle is bottle grade Polyester (PET) slice, which is mainly polymerized by terephthalic acid, glycol and a certain amount of modified monomers by a direct esterification method, and the main structure is polyethylene terephthalate (PET, polyester for short). However, as polyester bottles are mostly quick consumer products, and the polyester bottles are depended on petroleum and not easy to degrade, the corresponding environmental resource problem is more and more serious, so that the preparation technology of bottle-grade recycled polyester is in great attention of industry.
Because the polyester for the packaging bottle has very high requirements on molecular weight, transparency and food safety, the only chemical regeneration method for realizing the regeneration preparation of bottle-grade polyester by taking waste polyester as a raw material at present is to depolymerize PET macromolecules to specific monomers which can be effectively separated from impurities and refined by specific chemical reaction, and then to re-polymerize the finished product pair-standard original PET macromolecules by taking the refined monomers as raw materials. The existing depolymerization method for PET recycling mainly comprises three types of hydrolytic polymerization, methanol depolymerization and glycol depolymerization, wherein the two types of depolymerization are compared with the other two types of depolymerization, and the depolymerization method has obvious advantages in the aspects of mildness of reaction conditions, safety of reaction, equipment manufacturing cost and operation and maintenance cost, so that the depolymerization method is favored by industry.
The existing preparation method of the regenerated polyester of the standard primary bottle grade still has the problems of long production flow, low efficiency and high consumption. The key to the improvement is, in the first place, how to more efficiently prepare depolymerized monomeric bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate BHET that can meet the needs of bottle grade polymerization. BHET is separated and refined from the mixture after EG depolymerization of waste PET, and the composition of the mixed system comprises: EG. BHET, oligomers (mainly dimers) inevitable from depolymerization equilibrium, EG self-polymerization side reaction product diethylene glycol (DEG), coloring and modifier fragments (mainly small molecules containing phthalocyanine, azo, anthraquinone structures), anions and cations (mainly polymerization and depolymerization all catalysts), filterable impurities (inorganic powders, metal oxides, other hybrid non-depolymerizing polymers). The separation and refining technology of BHET in the recycled glycol depolymerization system of the polyester mainly comprises the following steps:
the separation and refining of the BHET mentioned in the invention patents US4609608, US6630601 and CN104710601B are mainly realized based on the control of the solubility of the BHET, namely, the BHET in a system is subjected to cooling crystallization coarse separation, and then water is introduced for recrystallization refining. Although the purity of the BHET can be improved by the method, the temperature required by the recrystallization of the water phase of the BHET is far lower than the room temperature, the working procedure is long in time consumption and high in energy consumption, and the recycling difficulty of the solvent is also high. Moreover, for the system with high coloring and modifier fragments and anionic and cationic impurities, it is difficult to obtain BHET meeting the bottle-grade polymerization requirement even by repeated water phase recrystallization.
The invention patent WO2002/010117 firstly filters and removes filterable impurities, then uses activated carbon to adsorb and remove coloring and modifier fragments in the system, uses ion exchange resin to remove anion and cation impurities in the system, and then reduces the temperature of the BHET in the system for crystallization and separation to obtain crude BHET. For crude BHET, three-stage progressive refining process is adopted, namely, partial EG is removed firstly by reduced pressure distillation, then low-boiling-point substances are thoroughly removed by thin film evaporation under a higher vacuum state, and finally BHET is collected by high vacuum molecular distillation and condensation to finish refining. The three-stage progressive refining process can effectively inhibit side reactions, and the obtained refined BHET can meet the bottle-grade polymerization requirement. However, the whole process is too long, the efficiency is low, the complexity of the whole optimization control is high, and EG recycling is difficult. In order to further inhibit side reactions, the invention patent WO2003/101929 further carries out grading treatment on the evaporation process in a three-stage step-by-step refining link on the basis of WO2002/010117, and increases the control of the fraction to residue ratio in a molecular distillation link, so that the purity of the obtained refined BHET is higher, but the efficiency is not improved. The invention patent WO2022/003990 is based on WO2003/101929, and ethylene glycol monoether or diether compound with carbon number of 4-12 is introduced for extraction and decolorization, although the decolorization efficiency can be improved by homogeneous phase, the decolorizer with the chemical structure also tends to increase the separation difficulty from the alcoholysis agent ethylene glycol, and the recycling of the ethylene glycol and the decolorizer in the system is hindered. And meanwhile, the efficiency of integral separation and refining is improved.
Compared with the above WO2002/010117, WO2003/101929 and WO2022/003990 patents, the invention patent CN1135846441B adopts a separation and refining route with a thicker line to improve the efficiency, and the refining of the crude BHET is divided into two steps of removing low-boiling substances at a low vacuum degree and collecting the BHET by flash evaporation and condensation at a high temperature under a high vacuum degree, but the method does not mention the control of side reaction in the process and the actual purity of the BHET, only the obtained polyester can be subjected to spinning processing, and whether the product with relevant quality can be subjected to the standard original spinning grade PET chips is not described. Similarly, the invention patent CN107189044B also mentions only rectification for BHET refining and then direct polymerization, but also points out the need for adding toner, so that it can be judged that the improvement in efficiency obtained by such simplification measures is at the expense of quality, and there is still a problem that side reaction suppression is difficult.
The invention patent CN115894223A, CN116284710A proposes a method for creating sublimation conditions of BHET crystals to realize refining, and the process flow of the method is short, but the saturated vapor pressure of the BHET is very low due to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding action of the BHET, so that the process window of sublimation refining of the BHET in a strict thermodynamic sense is very narrow, and large-scale production is difficult to realize. Based on large-scale sublimation refining, the more practical operation route is to convert crude BHET into dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) through transesterification with methanol, because DMT has no intermolecular hydrogen bonding effect, the saturated vapor pressure of DMT is far higher than that of BHET, large-scale refining can be completed relatively smoothly, then the refined DMT is converted into BHET through transesterification with glycol again, and then the polymerization is carried out to prepare the regenerated bottle-grade PET with original quality pair. The invention patent WO/2003/033581A1 and CN109503818A, CN110964188B, CN114437328A, CN114044892B, CN114149574B both contain regenerated polyester preparation technology developed based on the thought, but the method has the most obvious common defect that two transesterification reactions are introduced, so that the use of a catalyst is increased, and the process also involves highly flammable and volatile methanol management and recycling, and has long flow and high production cost.
On the other hand, the preparation of bottle grade regenerated polyester chips has high requirements on the purity of regenerated BHET, and also has certain special requirements on the molecular structure of the final product, and the polyester applied to packaging bottles needs to have better blowing plasticity and transparency, and the blowing property needs to have high enough PET molecular weight and needs to be realized by solid phase polycondensation. In the aspect of transparency, a certain amount of crystallization-retarding structures are required to be contained in the PET macromolecular structure, and the preparation of the virgin bottle-grade polyester can realize specific adjustment of the PET macromolecular structure by jointly esterifying terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and a modified monomer through a direct esterification process route and further copolycondensation. However, in the case of the regenerative production, high-purity BHET is usually used as a polymerization starting point, and since there is no process of co-esterifying with the modified monomer, it is difficult to form a copolymer structure satisfying the bottle demand even if the modified monomer is added for copolycondensation.

The essential features and related principles of the present invention are described below:
the invention provides a preparation method of bottle-grade regenerated polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is mainly characterized in that: the method can be used for efficiently obtaining high-purity BHET from alcoholysis liquid obtained by a glycol depolymerization method, and simultaneously controlling the DEG content to be just in the high-purity BHET so that the BHET and 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol with the addition amount of 2-7wt% form a more sufficient copolymerization structure, and ensuring that a chain segment has better activity and thermal stability under solid-phase polycondensation so as to meet the application requirements of bottle processing, namely efficiently preparing monomer liquid with the BHET content of more than or equal to 98.0wt% and the DEG content of 1.3-1.7wt%. On the basis, the copolymerization component 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol is added into the monomer liquid, and after the processes of pre-polycondensation, final polycondensation and solid phase polycondensation, the preparation of the bottle grade regenerated polyester chips with the standard original quality can be realized.
The reason that the monomer liquid can be efficiently and stably prepared is that: firstly, the basic components (components are: EG. DEG, BHET and oligomer), on the basis of which the combined advantages are formed by combining film evaporation with microwave radiation induction in the step 2), according to the fact that molecules with different polarities have different wave absorption capacities and kinetic energy conversion characteristics, the comprehensive improvement of separability and separability controllability of each component in the alcoholysis liquid is realized by combining film evaporation which can minimize diffusion limitation. Meanwhile, as the microwave can promote the relaxation and fracture of hydrogen bonds among molecules, separation and entrainment among EG, DEG and BHET components can be effectively avoided in the process, and side reactions such as self-polymerization of EG into DEG, transesterification between DEG and BHET and the like in the separation process are inhibited. Compared with the conventional thin film evaporation treatment, the method does not need to undergo time-consuming processes such as stepwise gradual evaporation and the like to avoid entrainment and side reactions, and can realize the efficient and controllable removal of low-boiling-point substances in one step. And then separating the oligomer by molecular distillation in the step 3), and extracting light components in the process to realize high-efficiency refining of the monomer. Based on the principle, the efficient and stable preparation of the monomer liquid can be realized under the comprehensive control of the process parameter ranges of the step 1), the step 2) and the step 3) by combining the practice of the system.
On the other hand, the DEG content of 1.3-1.7wt% is favorable for the BHET to form a more sufficient copolymerization structure with the 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol with the addition amount of 2-7wt%, and the reason for ensuring that the chain segment has better activity and thermal stability under solid phase polycondensation is that: in principle, during transesterification, DEG and EG are closer in terms of functional group activity, and can enter the main chain more easily and uniformly than 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol, while the DEG segment entering the molecular chain has higher flexibility than the EG segment, and can enable the ester bond of the main chain to form better contact with the hydroxyl group of 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol, so that DEG can better help 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol enter the main chain uniformly, and further high transparency is obtained; meanwhile, the existence of the DEG chain segment also increases the activity capability of a molecular chain, is more beneficial to the improvement of the solid-phase polycondensation quality, and obtains better blowing plasticity. In effect, the system practice determines that DEG must be in the content range to properly exert the ideal effect, namely, the success rate and uniformity of the 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol in the addition amount range entering a macromolecular chain can be obviously improved, and high transparency is obtained; and the basic slice obtained after the pre-polycondensation and the final polycondensation has proper molecular activity and thermal stability (when DEG is lower than the value, the solid phase polycondensation speed is slow, the intrinsic viscosity cannot reach the standard, and when DEG is higher than the value, the stability is reduced, the melting point, the hue and the acetaldehyde content cannot reach the standard), the efficient and stable tackifying of the solid phase polycondensation is ensured, the final slice has good transparency and blowing plasticity, and the performance index reaches the superior grade of the original bottle grade polyester slice. Therefore, the preparation of the bottle-grade regenerated polyester chips with the standard original quality can be finally realized through the step 4) on the basis that the monomer liquid can be efficiently and stably prepared, which cannot be achieved by the prior regeneration polymerization process.
In the disclosed bottle grade recycled polyester preparation technologies CN111138641a, CN112759746B, and the related PET alcoholysis monomer purification technologies described above, the use of microwave radiation induction is not involved, and the specific regulation and control of DEG content in the bottle grade recycled polymerization is not synchronously realized in the process of purifying the monomers. In the next-related polyester ethylene glycol depolymerization method, only patent CN108602974B, CN112940344a mentions the utilization of microwave radiation means, the aim is only to accelerate the depolymerization process, no operation related to microwaves is involved in the depolymerization monomer purification link, and the technical scheme of the invention is essentially different from that of the invention, so the technical scheme of the invention in the prior art has no technical teaching.
Compared with the background technology, the method has a shorter and more efficient flow, the process does not need to undergo complicated and time-consuming steps such as cooling crystallization, crude BHET multistage evaporation gradual concentration and the like which are necessary to avoid the problems of evaporation separation entrainment, side reaction and the like, and based on the remarkable improvement of the separation precision and the adjustable performance of substances in alcoholysis liquid, the method can synchronously realize the blind improvement of the purity of the BHET, and is changed into film-oriented base material application, and the DEG content in the BHET is controlled specifically, so that the method is more economical, efficient and stable. In addition, because the distillation of low boiling point substances is concentrated and the side reaction is small in the process, the EG can be recycled in the system more easily compared with the background technology, and the raw material consumption is low; the alcoholysis refining residues generated in the step 3) are transferred to an alcoholysis device to participate in the operation of depolymerization reaction in the next production cycle, so that on one hand, the solubility of the waste polyester material in a depolymerization system can be improved due to similar compatibility, the reaction can be more quickly brought into a homogeneous state, the reaction time required by depolymerization in the step 1) is obviously shortened, side reactions are reduced, and meanwhile, the recycling yield can be improved.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
(1) The preparation method of the regenerated bottle-grade PET provided by the invention can solve the problems of long flow, poor continuity, more side reactions and low purity and yield in the direct separation and refining process of BHET in alcoholysis liquid based on a gas-liquid equilibrium separation method at present. Meanwhile, the content of the monomer liquid BHET of the refining link product can be controlled to be more than or equal to 98.0wt%, the DEG content is 1.3-1.7 wt%, the specific requirements of bottle-grade PET preparation are just met, and compared with the background technology, the production process can be obviously shortened under the condition of ensuring high-quality output of the product, and the method is more efficient and economical.
(2) Compared with the background technology, the preparation method of the regenerated bottle-grade PET provided by the invention is easier to realize high-efficiency and full recycling of EG and oligomer residues in the production process. Meanwhile, the separation precision and the adjustable performance of substances in the alcoholysis liquid are obviously improved based on the invention, and the conversion from blind high-purity monomer purification to controllable monomer purification aiming at the specific requirement of bottle-level regeneration is realized. The method can obviously reduce the cost of raw materials and sewage disposal, and is cleaner and lower in consumption.
(3) The preparation method of the regenerated bottle-grade PET provided by the invention has the advantages of mild overall technological parameter requirements, short flow, good continuity, moderate investment cost of production equipment, obvious comprehensive performance advantage and good industrial application prospect.
The technical scheme of the invention is further described below in connection with specific embodiments.
