The application is that application number is 200510059246.7, and the applying date is title the dividing an application for the Chinese patent application of " absorbent resin, aqueous polymers, Preparation Method And The Use " in August 3 calendar year 2001.
Technical field
The monomer component that the present invention relates to polymerization is formed absorbent resin carries out aqueous solution polymerization, preparation is applicable to sanitary product such as paper nappy, sanitary napkin for example, the soil method with the absorbent resin in the various uses such as water-holding agent, with and resultant (aqueous polymers, absorbent resin) and contain the sanitary product of absorbent resin.
Background technology
In recent years, absorbent resin be widely used in paper nappy, sanitary napkin, adult with sanitary products such as incontinence articles, soil with in the various uses such as water-holding agent, and by mass production and consumption.
Special in paper nappy, sanitary napkin, the purposes of adult with sanitary products such as incontinence articles, in order to make the goods slimming, there is the usage quantity of absorbent resin to increase, the tendency that the usage quantity of paper pulp fiber reduces, people expect in the absorbent resin at the big product of absorbent rate under pressure, on the other hand, the usage quantity average 1 piece owing to sanitary product is a lot, and people expect the absorbent resin of low cost.Therefore, people expect to establish on the production line of absorbent resin energy-output ratio and reduce, and ejecta reduces and according to the rational preparation method of these requirements.
When the monomer component that polymerization is formed absorbent resin carries out aqueous solution polymerization, for because of the P/C that improves absorbent resin than reducing cost, various tests have been carried out, for example, polymerization in high monomer concentration, or begin polymerization at high temperature, make moisture evaporation obtain polymerization of exsiccant absorbent resin etc. at one stroke by heat of polymerization or heating.
The spy opens clear 58-71907 (waste river chemistry), the spy opens the acrylic acid brine solution that discloses the above high density of 55 weight % among the clear 59-18712 (waste river chemistry) and carries out polymerization, obtains the method for the drying solid of absorbent resin at one stroke.The acrylic acid brine solution that discloses the above high density of 30 weight % in United States Patent (USP) No. 4985518 (U.S.'s colloid) carries out polymerization, obtains the method for the drying solid of absorbent resin at one stroke.Open among the clear 55-58208 (wooden paddy) the spy, do not use linking agent, 106～160 ℃ polymerization temperature polymerization, moisture seldom obtained drying solid when polymerization was finished according to embodiment.Open among the flat 1-318022 (Mitsubishi's oiling) the spy and to disclose, the monomer that will contain 20～50 moles of % of neutralization ratio of 45～80 weight % carries out aqueous solution polymerization, obtains the method for the polymkeric substance of substantially dry state.But, in these methods, the many shortcomings of solvable component in the ratio of the absorption multiplying power of the absorbent resin that existence generates.
In addition, open clear 55-147512 (Sumitomo Chemical), spy the spy and open that clear 56-147809 (Sumitomo Chemical), spy open clear 63-275607 (Sanyo changes into), the spy opens among the clear 63-275608 (Sanyo changes into), monomer solution is supplied on the heating rotary bucket, obtains the dry thing of absorbent resin by record as can be known at one stroke.Open among the flat 1-165610 (ロ one system ァ Application De Ha one ス) the spy, almost similarly monomer solution is supplied on the face of heating, obtain exsiccant absorbent resin solid in fact.But, even these methods, the also many shortcomings of solvable component in the ratio of the absorption multiplying power of the absorbent resin of existence generation.
In addition, open among the flat 2-215801 (Mitsubishi's oiling), will utilize the monomer solution after monomeric neutralization heat heats up in gas phase, to carry out spray polymerization, but, think that therefore polymerization is difficult to control owing to polymerization about 3 seconds has just been finished the spy.
Above prior art all is to equal into previously disclosed prior art of 2 years (nineteen ninety), owing to there are various shortcomings, has not implemented in reality.
Afterwards, in order to improve the ratio of performance to price of absorbent resin, the technology that improves aspect of performance is disclosed.Open flat 4-175319 (Sanyo changes into) the spy, the spy opens among the flat 11-181005 (Japanese catalyst), attempts polymerization from low temperature, stably carries out polymerization in the time of heat extraction, top temperature is controlled at about below 90 ℃, has obtained high performance absorbent resin.Open among the flat 11-228604 (Japanese catalyst) the spy, attempting also is to begin polymerization from low temperature, stably carry out polymerization in the time of heat extraction, top temperature is controlled at about below 95 ℃, or the solid branch concentration ascending amount that forms of control has obtained high performance absorbent resin in the scope of 0.2～10 weight %.Open in flat 9-67404 (BASF) and the United States Patent (USP) No. 6187828 (BASF) the spy, disclose in pipe round tube type polymerizer and begun polymerization at low temperature, carry out heat insulation polymeric method, but owing to do not carry out heat extraction, exist the concentration of monomer solution not raise, the shortcoming of residence time elongated (a few hours).Because any one all is that sacrifice is productive in these methods, therefore cause high cost inevitably.
Recently, Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Vol.74,119-124 reported in (1999) " An Efficient Preparation Method for Superabsorbent Polymers " (Chen, Zhao).In this report, the polymerization process of low cost has been proposed, this method is the aqueous solution of monomer concentration 43.6% and initiator to be put into the container of stainless steel, soaks in the water-bath of 70 ℃ or 80 ℃, carries out polymerization.But this method does not also reach the level of industrial application.
In addition, open among the flat 10-45812 (ponding changes into product), attempt suppressing bumping, promote the radiation of water vapour, reduce the moisture value that generates gel, but there is the high price staple fibre that uses absorbing water useless in this method by in monomer solution, adding staple fibre the spy.
Summary of the invention
Problem of the present invention has provided the method for the good absorbent resin of low cost ground processability.Specifically, the base polymer that the absorption multiplying power is high and solvable component is few under the no loading is provided and has implemented the surface-crosslinked high absorbent resin of depressing of absorption multiplying power that adds by rational engineering.
The present inventor achieves the above object to have carried out conscientious research, the result is surprised to find with existing final conclusion and (opens flat 4-175319 (Sanyo changes into) as above-mentioned spy, Te Kaiping 11-181005 (Japanese catalyst), Te Kaiping 11-228604 (Japanese catalyst) is described, begin polymerization at low temperatures, reduce top temperature by heat extraction as far as possible, can obtain the saying of high performance absorbent resin thus) opposite, improve polymerization and begin temperature, transpiring moisture under the boiling temperature of gel, can obtain the high solid aqueous polymers that forms branch concentration in the short period of time, but employing In the view of prior art be irrational method high productivity obtain high performance absorbent resin, and therefore finished the present invention.Here " aqueous polymers " is meant that its solid branch concentration that forms is the following aqueous absorptive resins of 82 weight %.

For example, in the comparative example 1,2 of United States Patent (USP) No. 4703067 (U.S.'s colloids), obtain the aqueous polymers of solid formation branch concentration 58%, 67% respectively, but wherein putting down in writing " can not former state pulverizing; must be dry before pulverizing ", avoid in above-mentioned solid formation branch concentration range, pulverizing.
Among the Te Kaiping 4-175319 (Sanyo changes into), enumerated the pulverizer of gel, but the highest monomer concentration polymerization, be not given in the pulverizing example of the aqueous polymers of the above solid formation branch concentration of 55 weight % with 50 weight %.
Te Kaiping 10-119042 (Japanese catalyst), spy open flat 11-188725 (Japanese catalyst), spy and open to use among the flat 11-188726 (Japanese catalyst) and cut off gel by fixed blade and revolution sword and pulverize, and also do not provide the pulverizing example of the aqueous polymers of the above solid formation branch concentration of 55 weight %.
Te Kaiping 11-188727) Japanese catalyst, first field? three residences? vow wild) in, disclose by clamping and cut off with the revolution sword of the different conjugate spirals oar shape of the transfer rate that is oppositely arranged, aqueous polymers is pulverized.In embodiment 1, pulverize the aqueous polymers of water ratio 39 weight %, but do not provided the example of pulverizing the following aqueous polymers of weighted average particle footpath 100mm.In fact, the weighted average particle of the aqueous polymers of pulverizing footpath has all surpassed 100mm.

Have no particular limits for polymerization time, preferred below 5 minutes, more preferably below 3 minutes, more preferably less than is 3 minutes, more preferably below 2 minutes, more preferably below 1 minute.If surpass 5 minutes, the productivity of resulting polymers (aqueous polymers, base polymer, absorbent resin) reduces, and is not preferred therefore.
The preferred example of polymerization process according to the present invention, after polymerization began, system temperature rose rapidly, and the oligomerization rate for example reaches boiling point at 10～20 moles of %, and the water vapour evaporation is carried out polymerization Gu form when branch concentration rises.Effectively utilize heat of polymerization and improve the solid branch concentration that forms.Therefore, preferably powerful the inhibition emitted heat from the material portion that connects of aggregation container, as material, can preferably use resin, rubber, the stainless non-material that material portion hides with lagging material that connects, or the material by the sleeve pipe heating etc.The water vapour that evaporates from system, owing to contain monomer, preferably in situ recovery uses.Particularly, preferably collect the vinylformic acid and/or the water that evaporate in the polymerization, recirculation is used.Acrylic acid rate of recovery, preferred more than 1% with respect to the gross weight of employed vinylformic acid (before the neutralization), more preferably more than 2%, more preferably more than 3%.
In addition, the inventive method is characterised in that when polymerization begins and can be speculated as and reaches reasons of high performance just in high temperature polymerization.Polymerization under normal pressure has reached the temperature more than 100 ℃ during 40 moles of % of percent polymerization, also in the temperature more than 100 ℃, such polymerization is preferred mode during 50 moles of % of percent polymerization.Reached the temperature more than 100 ℃ during 30 moles of % of percent polymerization, also in the temperature more than 100 ℃, such polymerization is preferred mode during 50 moles of % of percent polymerization.Reached the temperature more than 100 ℃ during 20 moles of % of percent polymerization, also in the temperature more than 100 ℃, such polymerization is most preferred mode during 50 moles of % of percent polymerization.Under reduced pressure in the polymerization, reached boiling temperature when also being 40 moles of % of percent polymerization, also at boiling temperature, such polymerization is preferred mode during 50 moles of % of percent polymerization.Reached boiling temperature during 30 moles of % of percent polymerization, also at boiling temperature, such polymerization is preferred mode during 50 moles of % of percent polymerization.Having reached boiling temperature during 20 moles of % of percent polymerization, has been most preferred mode in such polymerization of boiling temperature also during 50 moles of % of percent polymerization.
Like this, owing to just arrived high temperature under the oligomerization rate, the time weak point that polymerization is used is finished below 10 minutes usually, and is preferred below 5 minutes.Here the used time of polymerization is meant that putting into aggregation container from the monomer solution that adds polymerization starter begins, the time till extremely aqueous polymers being taken out from aggregation container.
According to the present invention, carry out polymerization when should be transpiring moisture, be preferably more than 1.10 with the solid formation branch concentration that reaches the aqueous polymers that generates by polymerization ratio (concentration ratio) with the solid formation branch concentration of monomer solution, more preferably more than 1.15, more preferably more than 1.20, more preferably more than 1.25.During concentration ratio less than 1.10, utilizing of heat of polymerization is insufficient.Here, the solid formation branch of monomer solution is meant monomer and other additives, not moisture or solvent.
According to the present invention, polymerization heat up than promptly polymerization be observed Δ T (top temperature that arrives in the polymerization and polymerization initiation temperature poor, ℃) and theoretical Δ T (℃) ratio (detailed method of calculation as shown in the Examples) preferred below 0.30.More preferably below 0.25, more preferably below 0.20.Polymerization heats up bigger than 0.30 such as fruit, and the application that heat of polymerization is used for moisture evaporation is insufficient, and the rerum natura of resulting polymers (aqueous polymers, base polymer and absorbent resin) can reduce, and is not preferred from this aspect.
The above-mentioned aqueous polymers that obtains by polymerization, its solid formation is divided below the preferred 82 weight % of concentration, more preferably below the 80 weight %, more preferably below the 75 weight %.In addition, preferred 50 weight %～82 weight %, more preferably 55 weight %～82 weight %, more preferably 60 weight %～78 weight %, more preferably 60 weight %～75 weight %, more preferably 60 weight %～73 weight %, more preferably 66 weight %～73 weight %.Divide concentration to surpass 82 weight % if be somebody's turn to do solid formation, can see that performance is low, promptly absorbing multiplying power reduction and solvable component increases.In addition, this solid formation when dividing concentration less than 50 weight %, the drying burden of follow-up engineering is very big, is not preferred from this aspect.
Above-mentioned aqueous polymers, the form that foaming and intumescing and contraction form when preferably having by polymerization.This form is because the water vapour pressure that polymerization time boiling produces can make polymerization system carry out the foaming of cm～mm unit's diameter, and surface-area increases, and promotes water vapour volatilization, the form of Shou Suoing (shown in the photo of Fig. 3～7) afterwards thus.In addition, the separability that this form also has polymerizer improves, or the pulverizing of the aqueous polymers beyond thought so easily feature that becomes.
The measuring method of expansion multiplying power is as described in the embodiment in the polymerization.Expansion multiplying power in the polymerization is preferred more than 2 times, more preferably more than 3 times, more preferably more than 5 times, more preferably more than 10 times, more preferably more than 20 times.Owing to when expanding polymerization system is extended, therefore when extending, carries out polymerization.
After above-mentioned aqueous polymers sectionalization, carry out drying, pulverizing, can obtain base polymer (carrying out the preceding absorbent resin of surface treatment).
If with the base polymer of microscopic examination gained, even the polymerization when being attended by foaming, because the size of its bubble is bigger, interior most particle becomes the noncrystal shape that does not contain bubble.
In preparation method of the present invention, base polymer further can be carried out surface-crosslinked processing, can obtain the big absorbent resin of absorbent rate under pressure by this processing.Surface-crosslinked processing can be used normally used known surface crosslinking agent and known surface-crosslinked method in this purposes.
In addition, in this manual,, all be the term of a kind of form of any one absorbent resin of expression though use terms such as aqueous polymers, base polymer, surface-crosslinked absorbent resin.
Among the preparation method of the present invention, the absorbent resin that height how to pulverize 55～82 weight % that polymerization generates forms branch concentration admittedly is important.The monomer component that polymerization is formed absorbent resin carries out the aqueous polymers that aqueous solution polymerization generates, be thick plate-like, bulk, lamellar etc. when directly being difficult to the exsiccant shape, usually after pulverizing, through various engineerings such as super-dry, pulverizing, classification, surface treatments, make the absorbent resin goods.Vinylformic acid (salt) class absorbent resin, when the solid formation of aqueous polymers divided concentration less than 55 weight %, the pulverizer of available Minced Steak type etc. were easily pulverized.In addition, Gu when form dividing concentration to surpass 82 weight %, the same with the exsiccant polymkeric substance, can easily pulverize with common impingement pulverizer etc.But, divide the aqueous polymers of concentration Gu form at the above less than 82 weight % of 55 weight %, because its proterties intractable, up to the present, also not success of test is pulverized in industry.
Therefore, the present inventor has carried out conscientiously research for how pulverizing the aqueous polymers that height that polymerization generates 55～82 weight % obtain forms branch concentration admittedly, found that, by using specific pulverizer or pulverizer (these all use this speech representative of pulverizer in present patent application) sectionalization easily.
In addition, the shape that is the aqueous polymers of 55～82 weight % with solid formation branch concentration for the supply pulverizing has no particular limits, tabular or the sheet that preferred thickness 3cm is following, the more preferably following tabular or sheet of thickness 2cm, the more preferably following tabular or sheet of thickness 1cm, foaming and intumescing and shrink tabular or sheet below the thickness 5cm of the many fold form that forms during more preferably by polymerization.

But the invention provides good operation in the purposes of sanitary product etc., do not expand when abandoning after the use, can easily be decomposed into the new absorbent resin of straight-chain polymer in addition.
In the past, the discarded method after being used by the human consumer as sanitary products such as paper nappy that contains absorbent resin or sanitary napkins had (1) burning (2) landfill (3) to subtract appearanceizations processing afterfire (4) to wash (5) composting (6) additive method of releasing from the lavatory.For the depleted absorbent resin a lot of investigation have been carried out in the influence of environment, be reported as the level that reaches out of question.But, when the sanitary product after will using is imbedded in the soil, because the moisture expansible in the absorbent resin absorbent earth is very big, consider and occupy discarded site space, up to the present also not becoming problem, but also should consider this class problem from now on, should be can to dissolve or decompose in environment therefore.
Therefore, also carried out the research of some Biodegradable absorbent resin.For example have, the spy opens flat 11-255896 (Mitsui Chemicals), spy and opens 2001-114803 (ュ ニ チ カ), spy and open flat 8-59820, spy and open flat 8-196901, spy and open flat 8-89796, spy and open flat 9-124754, spy and open flat 9-216914 (above be the application of Japanese catalyst).But these are all expensive or use complex engineering to obtain the high goods of price owing to raw material, and on performance no more than the acrylic acid or the like absorbent resin, be also not reach practicability at present therefore.
Open among the 2001-104929 (Japanese ァ サ ヒ machine worker buys to resell shell) the spy, the paper nappy that has proposed to use subtracts the method for appearanceization processing, the absorbent resin smaller volume after wishing to use.
For the sanitary product that watering privy washes away that passes through that contains absorbent resin motion (spy opens flat 6-210166, United States Patent (USP) 5415643, キ Application バ リ one Network ラ one Network) is arranged also.Because absorbent resin expands in water shoot, the blocked possibility of pipe is improved.Therefore, wash away then wish that absorbent resin can dissolve or decompose if wash the lavatory with water.
In addition, the discarded absorbent resin that in the absorbent resin preparation engineering, produces, though consider to carry out burn processing, also the someone tests it is effectively applied flexibly.For example, in United States Patent (USP) No. 6143820 (ダ ゥ), proposed, the acrylic acid or the like absorbent resin has been decomposed, made straight chain polymer, applied flexibly to prevent agent, lotion additive etc. as dispersion agent, fouling.
