Description

METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYMERS WITH LOW RESIDUAL
ACRYLAMIDE AND APPLICATION THEREOF
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to United States Provisional Patent Application No. 63/503,046, filed on May 18, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The disclosed technology7 provides for methods for scavenging residual toxic acrylamide monomer present in acrylamide-based polymer and copolymer emulsions. More specifically, the disclosed technology provides for methods for scavenging residual toxic acrylamide monomer present in acrylamide-based polymer emulsions by adding a treatment agent to the polymer emulsion to produce acryl ami debased emulsion polymers with low residual levels of unreacted acrylamide monomer.
[0003] Polyacrylamides and their copolymers can be synthesized as high molecular weight polymers using emulsion techniques. These polymers are employed in several industries, ranging from oil fields, fracking and transporting (friction reducers) to water and/or wastewater treatment (flocculants). These polymers are also employed to enhance oil recovery, in soil conditioning, as thickening agents and super adsorbing polymers, and in paper making. Acrylamide molecules are the key monomer in building up these high molecular weight copolymers and provide significant advantages in terms of cost, reactivity7, and availability.
[0004] Despite its high reactivity, traces of unreacted acry lamide monomer may often be found in final polyacrylamide emulsion products. This raises concerns as acrylamide monomer has been shown to possibly be carcinogenic and/or mutagenic. More specifically, acrylamide is known as a potential occupational carcinogen by U.S. government agencies and classified as a Group 2A carcinogen by the IARC. [0005] According to the WHO, the most important source of drinking water contamination by acrylamide is the use of polyacrylamide flocculants that contain residual acrylamide monomer. Replacing acrylamide with other relatively benign acryl and/or vinyl monomers would likely be a cumulative solution to such problem. However, the significantly lower cost and higher performance of acrylamide-based polymers make this a difficult task to address. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, there are a limited number of monomers that can polymerize as effectively as acrylamide while maintaining some performance attributes when substituted in the emulsion polymers. However, compared to the acrylamide-based polymers, these polymers fall short in terms of efficacy and are usually insufficient for an industrial application. As such, it can be concluded that there is a lack of potential monomers to replace acrylamide.
[0006] Thus, what is needed in the art is an effective and more cost-efficient residual acrylamide monomer removal process.
SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The disclosed technology provides for methods of scavenging residual toxic acrylamide monomers present in acrylamide-based emulsion polymers. More specifically, the disclosed technology provides for methods for scavenging residual toxic acrylamide monomer present in acrylamide-based polymer emulsions by adding a treatment agent to the acrylamide-based polymer emulsion to produce acrylamide-based emulsion polymers with low residual levels of unreacted acrylamide monomer.
[0018] Although emulsion polymerization is generally a high-yield process, any trace of unreacted acrylamide poses a pollution threat due to its toxicity. Regulations have set threshold values for residual acrylamide levels in acrylamide-based emulsion products, depending on the application. Current methods practiced today use addition of free radical generator/initiators (burnout) at the end of the polymerization process to attempt to incorporate all of the acrylamide monomer into polymeric product. However, this introduces considerable byproducts (salts) into the process and has proven to not be capable of easily reaching the residual acrylamide levels. Bum-outs also require longer reaction times, which adds to the cost and efficacy of the overall process. The methods of the disclosure describe the use of an alternative high yield reaction capable of converting residual acrylamide levels to targeted levels below regulatory thresholds without affecting performance attributes.
[0019] As used herein, the term “‘acrylamide-based polymer” may be understood to mean any polymer comprising acrylamide monomer, including, for example, high- molecular weight polyacrylamides.

In other aspects, the treatment agent may be any compound capable of targeting one or more reaction sites of an acrylamide monomer. In some aspects, suitable treatment agents may include one or more compounds capable of targeting the double bond or amide linkages of an acry lamide monomer.
[0023] In various aspects, the methods of the disclosure may include adding the treatment agent in an amount of about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the acrylamide- based polymer emulsion.

[0024] In various aspects, the methods of the disclosure may include adding a treatment agent to the acrylamide-based polymer emulsion. In some aspects, the treatment agent may be added during or after polymerization of the acrylamide-based polymer. In some aspects, suitable treatment agents may include amines, thiols, or mixtures or salts thereof.

[0030] General Procedures for Examples 1-5
[0031] To a known amount of acry lamide-based neutral (Polyacrylamide/PAM) or anionic (Polyacrylamide-co-acrylate) emulsion polymers was added 0.5% to 2% (wt/wt) of a treatment agent as its water solution over 30 minutes at 30°C and/or 45°C The mixture was then mixed for an additional 2 hours. Analysis of residual acrylamide after mixing for 2 hours determines the effective quantity of the treatment agent. The reaction is continued by adding more treatment agent until the desired acrylamide levels are achieved.
