Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scale adhesion inhibitor for polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenic double bond, a polymerization vessel, and a method for producing a polymer using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, methods for polymerizing vinyl monomers include suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization, gas phase polymerization, and the like.
Alternatively, a bulk polymerization method and the like are known. In any of these polymerization methods, the adhesion of the polymer scale is likely to occur at the site where the monomer contacts, such as the inner wall of the polymerization vessel and the stirring device.

[0003] When the polymer scale adheres, the yield of the polymer, the cooling capacity of the polymerization vessel and the like are reduced, and the scale is peeled and mixed into the product, resulting in a disadvantage that the quality of the product is lowered. In order to remove the adhered polymer scale, not only excessive labor and time are required,
Since unreacted monomers are included in this scale,
In recent years, there is a risk of human injury due to monomers (vinyl chloride and the like), which have become a very serious problem in recent years.

Conventionally, in order to prevent the adhesion of polymer scale to the inner wall of such a polymerization vessel, for example, as is practiced in the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride, the polarity of amine compounds, quinone compounds, aldehyde compounds, etc. A method of applying an organic compound or a method of adding the compound to an aqueous medium is known (JP-B-45-30343). However, these methods show a scale prevention effect when the polymerization is repeated up to about 5 to 6 batches. However, when the number of polymerization batches is larger than that, the prevention effect is lost (poor in sustainability). . This point is particularly significant when a water-soluble catalyst is used, and is not industrially satisfactory.

To overcome this disadvantage, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-13689
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H08-209, a condensation product of an aromatic amine compound is proposed. When a coating film of the condensation product of the aromatic amine compound is formed on a portion where the monomer comes into contact, such as the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, even if the polymerization is repeated for about 100 to 200 batches, the scale to the liquid phase in the polymerization vessel can be reduced. No adhesion occurs. Similarly, when a water-soluble catalyst is used, scale adhesion in the liquid phase is similarly prevented.

[0006]

However, there is a disadvantage that the scale adheres to the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase and the liquid phase located in the upper part of the polymerization vessel. Once the scale adheres near the interface between the gas phase and the liquid phase, the adhered scale gradually grows as the polymerization is repeated, and eventually peels off and may be mixed into the product polymer. . When the scale is mixed into the product polymer, when the product polymer is processed into a molded product such as a sheet, many fish eyes are generated in the molded product, and the quality of the molded product is significantly reduced. Will be lost.

[0007] The coloring that occurs when the polymer is processed into a molded product is called initial coloring, and the smaller the coloring, the more preferable. However, the coating film composed of the condensation product of the aromatic amine compound may be peeled off or dissolved and mixed into the product polymer, and the initial coloring property is reduced. Further, when forming a coating film of the condensation product of the aromatic amine compound, since the condensation product is used as a coating solution dissolved in a mixture of an organic solvent or water having an organic solvent as a main component, There is a risk of ignition and explosion of the organic solvent, and there is also a problem in handling safety such as toxicity.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to effectively prevent the adhesion of the polymer scale not only in the liquid phase portion in the polymerization vessel but also in the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion. It is possible to produce a product polymer with very few eyes and good initial coloring properties.Furthermore, there is little danger of ignition and explosion of organic solvent when forming a coating film, and it is safe to handle. An object of the present invention is to provide a scale adhesion inhibitor, a polymerization vessel using the inhibitor, and a method for producing a polymer.

[0009]

That is, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned object by polymerizing a monomer having an ethylenic double bond containing a condensation product of hydrazine and a quinone compound. A polymer scale adhesion inhibitor.

[0010] The present invention also provides a polymerization vessel having a coating film containing the above condensation product. Further, a method for producing a polymer by polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenic double bond in a polymerization vessel, wherein the polymerization is performed in a polymerization vessel having the coating film on the inner wall surface. A method for producing a polymer is provided.

The above condensation product, which is an essential component of the polymer scale inhibitor of the present invention, is a substance obtained by condensing hydrazine with a quinone compound. Hereinafter, the raw materials and the synthesis will be described.

[0017]

The ratio of the hydrazine to the quinone compound when the condensation reaction is carried out depends on the type of the quinone compound and the solvent used,
Although affected by the reaction temperature, the reaction time, etc., the quinone compound is preferably used in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 3 parts by weight, per 1 part by weight of hydrazine. If the amount of the quinone compound is too large or too small, the effect of the obtained condensation product to prevent adhesion of the polymer scale is reduced.

When using a mixed solvent of water and an organic solvent that is miscible with water, the content of the organic solvent should be such that there is no danger of ignition, explosion, etc., and no safety issues such as toxicity. More specifically, it is preferably at most 50% by weight, more preferably at most 30% by weight. If the amount of the organic solvent is too large, there is a danger of ignition or explosion when forming the coating film as described above, and there is also a problem in handling safety such as toxicity.

The concentration of the condensation product of hydrazine and the quinone compound in the coating solution is not particularly limited as long as the total coating amount described below can be obtained, but it is usually about 0.005 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 10% by weight. 01 to 5% by weight.

Formation of Coating Film In order to form a coating film on the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel using the coating solution prepared as described above, first, the coating solution is applied to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel, and then, for example, at room temperature. After thoroughly drying in the temperature range from to 100 ° C, further wash with water if necessary.

It is preferable that the coating liquid is applied not only to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel but also to other parts with which the monomer contacts during polymerization. For example, stirring blades, stirring shafts, baffles,
Examples include a capacitor, a header, a search coil, a bolt, and a nut. More preferably, even if the coating liquid is other than the part where the monomer comes into contact during polymerization, there is a possibility that the polymer scale may adhere thereto, for example, the inner surface of equipment and piping of a recovery system for unreacted monomer. For example, it is better to form the coating film. Specifically, monomer distillation tower, condenser,

The coating operation described above does not necessarily need to be performed for each batch of polymerization because the formed coating film has high durability and the action of preventing adhesion of the polymer scale is maintained. For this reason, the productivity of the product polymer is improved.

It can also be done. In this case, the amount of the polymer scale adhesion inhibitor is suitably about 10 to 1000 ppm based on the total weight of the monomers to be charged.
