Description

本発明は、酢酸ビニルの製造工程、精製工程、貯蔵および輸送工程における酢酸ビニルの重合抑制剤および重合抑制方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a polymerization inhibitor and a polymerization inhibition method for vinyl acetate in vinyl acetate production, purification, storage, and transportation.

酢酸ビニルは、極めて重合しやすく、製造工程、精製工程、反応工程において、熱、光、その他の要因により、しばしば重合トラブルを起こすことが知られている。このような重合は酢酸ビニルの製造工程、精製工程での汚れ(ファウリング)の原因となっている。このような汚れが、酢酸ビニルの製造工程、精製工程の製造タンク、蒸留塔(精留塔塔)、液送配管に付着すると、酢酸ビニルの製造・精製が制御できなくなり、操業に支障を来す場合がある。さらに製品品質の低下の原因ともなる。また、酢酸ビニルの汚れ、およびその重合反応物の除去は、人力による作業で行なわざるを得ないために、作業効率が悪く、その結果、長期間の運転停止を引き起こし、経済的損失が大きい。そこで、種々の酢酸ビニルの汚れ抑制剤、汚れ抑制方法や重合抑制剤、重合抑制方法が提案・実施されてきた。   It is known that vinyl acetate is very easily polymerized, and often causes polymerization troubles due to heat, light, and other factors in the production process, purification process, and reaction process. Such polymerization is a cause of fouling in the production process and the purification process of vinyl acetate. If such dirt adheres to the vinyl acetate production process, the purification process production tank, the distillation tower (rectification tower), or the liquid feed piping, the production and purification of vinyl acetate becomes uncontrollable, which hinders operations. There is a case. In addition, it may cause a reduction in product quality. Further, the removal of the vinyl acetate stains and the polymerization reaction product must be carried out by manual work, so that the work efficiency is poor. As a result, the operation is stopped for a long time, resulting in a large economic loss. Accordingly, various vinyl acetate stain inhibitors, stain inhibition methods, polymerization inhibitors, and polymerization inhibition methods have been proposed and implemented.

例えば、ハイドロキノン、ベンゾキノン、t−ブチルカテコールを使用する方法(例えば特許文献1参照)、酢酸ビニルの蒸留工程の蒸留段階を通してp−アルキルフェノールを溶解状態で維持させて蒸留を行なう方法(例えば特許文献1、特許文献2参照)、ニトロキシルラジカル類を用いる方法(例えば特許文献3、特許文献4参照)等が開示されている。   For example, a method using hydroquinone, benzoquinone and t-butylcatechol (see, for example, Patent Document 1), a method in which p-alkylphenol is maintained in a dissolved state throughout the distillation step of vinyl acetate (for example, Patent Document 1). And Patent Document 2), methods using nitroxyl radicals (see, for example, Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4), and the like are disclosed.

The vinyl acetate polymerization inhibitor of the present invention is compared with any of the conventional polymerization inhibitors benzoquinone (BQ), hydroquinone (HQ), t-butylcatechol (TBC), and N, N-diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA). However, with the same addition amount, it can be seen that the amount of polymer production is overwhelmingly small and exhibits an excellent polymerization preventing effect.
