【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はエステル可塑剤の製造方法に関し、詳しくは塩化ビニル系樹脂用として用いられる体積固有抵抗の優れたエステル可塑剤の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
可塑剤は塩化ビニル樹脂を始め、各種プラスチックに多く用いられ、種々の性質が重要視される。例えば、電線被覆、絶縁材料に広く用いられる可塑化軟質塩化ビニルには、高い体積固有抵抗値が要求される。
エステル可塑剤は、酸触媒の存在下、有機酸またはその無水物とアルコールとの反応により製造されるが、高い体積固有抵抗値を持つエステル可塑剤を得るためには粗エステルの精製が重要である。
【0003】
高い体積固有抵抗値を持つエステル可塑剤の製造法として、エステル化反応生成物を水の不存在下、炭酸ナトリウムのような固体のアルカリと加熱処理した後、活性白土のような吸着剤により吸着処理する方法(特開昭54−76517号、特開昭54−27518号、特開昭54−27519号等)、エステル化反応によって得られる粗エステルを酸化マグネシウムシリケートで処理する方法(英国特許第 1,096,917号等 )、酸化マグネシウム及び活性炭等のような吸着剤で処理する方法(特開昭62−267341号等)、エステル化反応液中の有機金属触媒を加水分解し、アルカリで中和、水洗を行い、過剰アルコール回収後、得られたエステルを活性炭、活性白土のような吸着剤で処理する方法(特開昭55−130937号等)が知られている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記の方法は、いずれも吸着剤を用いて処理する方法であるが、高い体積固有抵抗値を得るためには大量の吸着剤を用いる必要があり、吸着剤は価格が高く再利用が困難であることから経済的でない。
本発明の目的は、体積固有抵抗値の優れたエステル可塑剤を、工業的に有利に製造する方法を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、上記の目的を達成するため鋭意検討した結果、有機金属化合物の触媒の存在下、有機酸またはその無水物とアルコールとをエステル化反応させて得られる粗エステルを、濾過助剤を用いる精密濾過と吸着剤を用いる吸着処理を組み合わせて精製することにより極めて体積固有抵抗値の優れたエステル可塑剤を容易に製造できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。
即ち本発明は、有機金属化合物触媒の存在下で、有機酸またはその無水物とアルコールとをエステル化反応させ、得られた反応生成物にアルカリ水溶液を加えて未反応酸の中和と触媒の加水分解を行い、炭酸ガスを吹き込んで残存アルカリを炭酸塩に転化させ、過剰アルコールを回収して得られた粗エステルを、粒度5ミクロン以下の濾過助剤が全体の20重量%以上である濾過助剤を用いる精密濾過と、吸着剤を用いた吸着処理を組み合わせて精製することを特徴とするエステル可塑剤の製造方法である。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明でエステル化反応に用いられる有機金属化合物触媒には、エステル化反応の温度で触媒活性を示すテトライソプロピルチタネート、テトラ−n−ブチルチタネート、テトラ−2−エチルヘキシルチタネートのようなアルキルチタネート類や、スズテトラエチレート、ブチルスズマレートのような有機スズ化合物が好適に用いられる。
【0007】
またエステル化反応に用いられる有機酸またはその無水物には、安息香酸、トルイル酸で代表される芳香族モノカルボン酸;フタル酸、無水フタル酸、イソフタル酸、テレフタル酸、トリメシン酸、トリメリット酸、無水トリメリット酸、ピロメリット酸、無水ピロメリット酸、ベンゾフェノンテトラカルボン酸、無水ベンゾフェノンテトラカルボン酸で代表される芳香族多価カルボン酸またはその無水物;アジピン酸、セバシン酸、アゼライン酸等の脂肪族多価カルボン酸;マレイン酸、フマル酸等の脂肪族不飽和多価カルボン酸;オレイン酸、ステアリン酸等の脂肪族モノカルボン酸等が挙げられる。
【0008】
エステル化反応に用いられるアルコールには、脂肪族飽和一価アルコールとして、メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、イソプロパノール、ブタノール、イソブタノール、sec−ブタノール、ヘプタノール、オクタノール、2−エチルヘキサノール、イソオクタノール、ブテン二量体のオキソ反応により製造されるイソノニルアルコール、デカノール、プロピレン三量体のオキソ反応により製造されるイソデシルアルコール、ウンデカノール、トリデカノール等;脂肪族多価アルコールとして、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール等が挙げられる。これらのアルコールを任意に混合して使用することもできる。
【0009】
本発明のエステル可塑剤は、有機酸またはその無水物にアルコールを加え、有機金属化合物触媒の存在下、不活性ガス雰囲気中、150℃〜220℃で生成水を系外に除去しながら3〜4時間エステル化反応させた後、反応生成物にアルカリ水溶液を加え、未反応酸の中和と触媒の加水分解を行った後、炭酸ガスを吹き込んで残存アルカリを炭酸塩に転化させ、スチームストリッピングもしくは真空蒸留によって過剰アルコールを回収することにより得られた粗エステルを精製することにより製造される。反応後のエステル精製を容易にするために、反応率をできるだけ99.8%以上とすることが好ましい。
【0010】
本発明のエステル可塑剤の製造方法は、濾過助剤を用いて精密濾過と吸着処理を組み合わせて上記の粗エステルの精製を行うことによって、可塑剤としての特性を低下させる不純物、例えば半エステル塩、炭酸塩、酸化チタン等を除去し、体積固有抵抗値の極めて優れたエステル可塑剤を製造することが特徴である。
本発明で用いられる濾過助剤としては、一般に市販されている珪藻土から製造された濾過助剤〔例えばラジオライト(昭和化学工業株式会社製)、セライト(ジョンズ・マンビル社製)等〕;真珠岩から製造された濾過助剤〔例えばトプコパーライト(昭和化学工業株式会社製)、ダイカライトパーライト(ダイカライトオリエント社製)〕等が挙げられる。
濾過助剤の選定については、種々の粒度があるので要求される体積固有抵抗値の範囲によって粒度が異なる助剤の混合使用や、他の種類の助剤との併用で最適助剤を選定することができるが、精密濾過の目的を達成するには、粒度5ミクロン以下の濾過助剤が全体の20%以上を占める必要があり、全体の30%以上を占める割合であることが望ましい。
【0011】
濾過助剤の使用量は、濾過面積1m2 当り1〜5kg、好ましくは2〜4kgである。助剤の使用量が少なすぎる場合、濾過効果が減少し高い体積固有抵抗値が得られない。また助剤の使用量が多すぎても、体積固有抵抗値が変らずに経済的に有利とならない。
【0012】
本発明では前述のように微粒子の多い助剤を使用するため、濾過速度は遅くなるが、要求される体積固有抵抗値の範囲によって濾過速度の速い助剤と併用することができる。しかし、いずれの場合においても、精密濾過の目的を達成するには、濾過速度は、濾過面積1m2 当り10リットル/min 以下、好ましくは3〜7リットル/min である。
【0013】
本発明で用いられる吸着剤としては、活性アルミナ、活性白土、活性炭、酸化マグネシウム、酸化アルミニウム、酸化ケイ素等があげられる、これらは単独で用いても併用してもよい。
【0014】
吸着剤の使用量は、一般に粗エステルの重量に対して0.1重量%〜1重量%が好適である。該範囲より少ない場合は吸着効果が小さく高い体積固有抵抗値が得られない。また該範囲より多くても品質向上の効果が小さく経済的でない。
【0015】
濾過方法については、予め濾過助剤のスラリーを濾過して濾材表面に濾過助剤のケーキ層を形成させ、これを濾材として原液のスラリーを濾過するプリコート法、或いはスラリー原液に適量の濾過助剤を混入して濾過するボディフィード法等がある。一方、吸着操作については、吸着剤を溶液に加え、撹拌して吸着を行なう方法、即ち接触濾過吸着法、或いは吸着剤を充填して層を溶液を通して吸着させる方法、即ち固定相吸着法等がある。本発明においては、いずれの濾過方法および吸着法でも適用できる。
【0016】
吸着処理と精密濾過との組み合わせについては、例えば、(i) 吸着と濾過を同時に行なう方法、(ii)吸着処理後濾過する方法、(iii)濾過後吸着処理する方法、(iv)濾過後吸着処理し更に濾過する方法などがある。本発明においては、いずれの組み合わせも適用できる。
吸着温度及び濾過温度は、可塑剤の種類により異なるが、一般的に30〜120℃、好ましくは50〜100℃である。30℃以下で行なうと効果が小さく、120℃以上では、可塑剤の分解が起こり高い体積固有抵抗値が得られない。
【0017】
【実施例】
次に実施例により本発明を更に具体的に説明する。但し本発明は、これらの実施例により制限されるものではない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing an ester plasticizer, and more particularly to a method for producing an ester plasticizer having an excellent volume resistivity used for a vinyl chloride resin.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Plasticizers are widely used in various plastics including vinyl chloride resin, and various properties are regarded as important. For example, a high volume resistivity is required for plasticized soft vinyl chloride widely used for wire coating and insulating materials.
Ester plasticizers are produced by the reaction of an organic acid or its anhydride with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, but purification of the crude ester is important to obtain an ester plasticizer with a high volume resistivity. is there.
[0003]
As a method for producing ester plasticizers with high volume resistivity, heat treatment of esterification reaction products with solid alkali such as sodium carbonate in the absence of water, followed by adsorption with an adsorbent such as activated clay A method of treating (JP 54-76517, JP 54-27518, JP 54-27519, etc.), a method of treating a crude ester obtained by esterification with magnesium oxide silicate (UK Patent No. 1,096,917 etc.), a method of treating with an adsorbent such as magnesium oxide and activated carbon (JP-A-62-267341, etc.), hydrolyzing an organometallic catalyst in an esterification reaction solution, neutralizing with alkali, washing with water And after recovering the excess alcohol, a method is known in which the resulting ester is treated with an adsorbent such as activated carbon or activated clay (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-130937). To have.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
All of the above methods are methods using an adsorbent, but in order to obtain a high volume resistivity, it is necessary to use a large amount of adsorbent, and the adsorbent is expensive and difficult to reuse. It is not economical because there is.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for industrially advantageously producing an ester plasticizer having an excellent volume resistivity.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventor obtained a filter aid from a crude ester obtained by esterifying an organic acid or an anhydride thereof with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst of an organometallic compound. The present inventors have found that an ester plasticizer having an extremely excellent volume resistivity can be easily produced by refining a combination of microfiltration using an adsorbent and an adsorption treatment using an adsorbent.
That is, the present invention is an esterification reaction between an organic acid or an anhydride thereof and an alcohol in the presence of an organometallic compound catalyst, and an alkaline aqueous solution is added to the resulting reaction product to neutralize the unreacted acid and Hydrolysis, blowing carbon dioxide gas to convert residual alkali to carbonate, and recovering excess alcohol, the crude ester obtained by filtering the filter aid having a particle size of 5 microns or less is 20% by weight or more of the total A method for producing an ester plasticizer, which is purified by combining microfiltration using an auxiliary agent and an adsorption treatment using an adsorbent.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The organometallic compound catalyst used in the esterification reaction in the present invention includes alkyl titanates such as tetraisopropyl titanate, tetra-n-butyl titanate, tetra-2-ethylhexyl titanate, which exhibit catalytic activity at the esterification reaction temperature, Organic tin compounds such as tin tetraethylate and butyltin malate are preferably used.
[0007]
Organic acids used in esterification reactions or their anhydrides include aromatic monocarboxylic acids such as benzoic acid and toluic acid; phthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, trimesic acid, trimellitic acid , Trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic acid, pyromellitic anhydride, benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid, aromatic polycarboxylic acid represented by benzophenone tetracarboxylic anhydride or its anhydride; adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, etc. Aliphatic polyvalent carboxylic acids; aliphatic unsaturated polycarboxylic acids such as maleic acid and fumaric acid; and aliphatic monocarboxylic acids such as oleic acid and stearic acid.
[0008]
The alcohol used for the esterification reaction includes aliphatic saturated monohydric alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, heptanol, octanol, 2-ethylhexanol, isooctanol, butene dimer. Isononyl alcohol, decanol, and propylene trimer produced by the oxo reaction of isomers, such as isodecyl alcohol, undecanol, and tridecanol, produced by oxo reaction of propylene trimer; aliphatic polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol Can be mentioned. These alcohols can be arbitrarily mixed and used.
[0009]
The ester plasticizer of the present invention is prepared by adding alcohol to an organic acid or an anhydride thereof, and removing generated water outside the system at 150 ° C. to 220 ° C. in an inert gas atmosphere in the presence of an organometallic compound catalyst. After the esterification reaction for 4 hours, an alkaline aqueous solution was added to the reaction product, neutralization of the unreacted acid and hydrolysis of the catalyst were performed, and then carbon dioxide was blown to convert the remaining alkali to a carbonate. It is produced by purifying the crude ester obtained by recovering excess alcohol by ripping or vacuum distillation. In order to facilitate the purification of the ester after the reaction, the reaction rate is preferably 99.8% or more as much as possible.
[0010]
The method for producing an ester plasticizer according to the present invention comprises impurities, such as a half-ester salt, that deteriorate the properties as a plasticizer by purifying the above crude ester by combining microfiltration and adsorption treatment using a filter aid. It is characterized in that an ester plasticizer having an excellent volume resistivity is produced by removing carbonate, titanium oxide and the like.
As the filter aid used in the present invention, filter aids produced from commercially available diatomaceous earth (for example, radiolite (manufactured by Showa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), celite (manufactured by Johns Manville Corp.), etc.); Filter aids manufactured from (for example, Topcoperlite (manufactured by Showa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), Dicalite Perlite (manufactured by Dikalite Orient)) and the like.
Regarding the selection of filter aids, there are various particle sizes, so the optimum aid is selected by using a mixture of auxiliaries with different particle sizes depending on the required volume resistivity range or in combination with other types of auxiliaries. However, in order to achieve the purpose of microfiltration, the filter aid having a particle size of 5 microns or less needs to occupy 20% or more of the total, and it is desirable that the ratio is 30% or more.
[0011]
The usage-amount of a filter aid is 1-5 kg per 1 m < 2 > of filtration area, Preferably it is 2-4 kg. When the amount of the auxiliary agent used is too small, the filtration effect is reduced and a high volume resistivity cannot be obtained. Moreover, even if there is too much usage-amount of adjuvant, a volume specific resistance value does not change and it is not economically advantageous.
[0012]
In the present invention, as described above, an auxiliary agent having a large amount of fine particles is used, so that the filtration rate is slow. However, depending on the required volume resistivity range, it can be used in combination with an auxiliary agent having a high filtration rate. However, in any case, in order to achieve the purpose of microfiltration, the filtration rate is 10 liter / min or less, preferably 3 to 7 liter / min per 1 m 2 of filtration area.
[0013]
Examples of the adsorbent used in the present invention include activated alumina, activated clay, activated carbon, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon oxide. These may be used alone or in combination.
[0014]
In general, the amount of the adsorbent used is preferably 0.1% by weight to 1% by weight with respect to the weight of the crude ester. If it is less than this range, the adsorption effect is small and a high volume resistivity cannot be obtained. Moreover, even if it exceeds this range, the effect of quality improvement is small and it is not economical.
[0015]
Regarding the filtration method, a filter aid slurry is filtered in advance to form a filter aid cake layer on the surface of the filter medium, and this is used as a filter medium to filter the raw slurry, or an appropriate amount of filter aid for the slurry stock solution. There is a body feed method, etc. that mixes and filters. On the other hand, for the adsorption operation, there are a method of adding an adsorbent to a solution and stirring to adsorb, that is, a contact filtration adsorption method, or a method of adsorbing an adsorbent and adsorbing a layer through the solution, that is, a stationary phase adsorption method. is there. In the present invention, any filtration method and adsorption method can be applied.
[0016]
Regarding the combination of adsorption treatment and microfiltration, for example, (i) a method of performing adsorption and filtration simultaneously, (ii) a method of filtration after adsorption treatment, (iii) a method of adsorption treatment after filtration, (iv) adsorption after filtration There is a method of processing and further filtering. Any combination is applicable in the present invention.
The adsorption temperature and filtration temperature vary depending on the type of plasticizer, but are generally 30 to 120 ° C, preferably 50 to 100 ° C. If it is performed at 30 ° C. or lower, the effect is small, and at 120 ° C. or higher, the plasticizer is decomposed and a high volume resistivity cannot be obtained.
[0017]
