Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of polyether carbonate polyols from H-functional starter compound, alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide in the presence of a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst. It also relates to polyether carbonate polyols obtained by the process according to the invention.
  • DMC double metal cyanide
  • This reaction (see scheme (I)) is ecologically very advantageous, since this reaction represents the conversion of a greenhouse gas such as CO2 into a polymer.
  • EP 0 222 453 A2 discloses a process for the production of polycarbonates from alkylene oxides and carbon dioxide using a catalyst system composed of DMC catalyst and a cocatalyst such as zinc sulfate.
  • the polymerization is initiated by bringing part of the alkylene oxide into contact with the catalyst system once. Only then are the remainder of the alkylene oxide and the carbon dioxide metered in simultaneously.
  • the amount of 60% by weight of alkylene oxide relative to the H-functional starter compound specified in EP 0222453 A2 for the activation step in Examples 1 to 7 is high and has the disadvantage that this is necessary for industrial applications due to the high exothermic nature of the homopolymerization of Alkylene oxides poses a safety risk.
  • WO 2016/079065 A1 discloses a continuous process for the production of polyether carbonate polyols, a mixture of H-functional starter substance and activated DMC catalyst, alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide being metered in. However, no information is given on the free alkylene oxide concentration. For the production of polyether carbonate polyols on an industrial scale, there is a need for a method for carrying out the reaction in which product quality and safety are guaranteed.
  • the object was therefore to provide a process for the preparation of polyether carbonate polyols which is distinguished by a low concentration of free alkylene oxide in the process, a narrow molar mass distribution of the polyether carbonate polyols obtained and a good selectivity.
