DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing maleate copolymers. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for efficiently producing a maleate copolymer having an average molecular weight within a certain range in an aqueous solvent system. Conventionally, polymaleic acid and copolymers of maleic acid and other monomers have been used as dispersants, scale inhibitors, and the like. Currently, polymaleic acid is produced in an organic solvent such as toluene or xylene using a peroxide such as benzoyl peroxide as a polymerization initiator. However, from an industrial standpoint, it is much more desirable to carry out the production in an aqueous solvent than in an organic solvent from the viewpoints of simplifying the production process, reducing costs, preventing flames, etc. However, there are almost no examples of research on the polymerization of polymaleate in an aqueous solvent system, and there are only a few examples of copolymers of maleic acid and acrylic acid, vinyl acetate, or the like. The present inventors recognized the current situation regarding the polymerization of polymaleic acid and copolymers of maleic acid and other monomers, and as a result of intensive research on the polymerization reaction of maleic acid salts in an aqueous solvent system, they found that When using alkali metal salts or monoammonium maleate salts, the average molecular weight
The present invention was completed by discovering that a maleate copolymer having a molecular weight of 300 to 5,000 can be efficiently produced. That is, the present invention provides 100 moles of maleic acid and acrylic acid,
methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, acrylamide,
(meth)acrylic acid ester, hydroxy (meth)
When producing a maleate copolymer having an average molecular weight of 300 to 5000 from less than 5 moles of a monomer selected from acrylate, styrene sulfonic acid, and allyl sulfonic acid, the monomer is added to a monoalkali metal maleate or a monoammonium maleate. and in the presence of a polymerization initiator in an aqueous solvent system, 80
The present invention provides a method for producing a maleate copolymer, which is characterized by polymerizing at a temperature of 180°C to 180°C. Specifically describing the production method of the present invention, first, an aqueous solution of maleic acid or maleic anhydride is prepared, and an alkali metal hydroxide (for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.) or aqueous ammonia is added to it.
An aqueous solution of monoalkali metal maleate or monoammonium maleate is obtained by adding an equimolar amount to 10 mol% excess of maleic acid or maleic anhydride. Furthermore, the other monomers mentioned above are added to this aqueous solution. The pH of the liquid at this time is 3.5 to 5.0. A polymerization initiator is added to the aqueous solution, preferably 0.02 to 0.6 mol, more preferably 0.02 to 0.6 mol per mol of monomer.
Add 0.05 to 0.4 mol all at once or in portions to make 80
Polymerization is carried out at ~180°C, preferably 100-150°C. There is no particular restriction on the concentration of the aqueous solution of monoalkali metal maleate or monoammonium maleate in this production method, but a practical solid content concentration is 30% by weight or more and 60% by weight or less. There are no particular restrictions on the polymerization reaction time, but 3 hours or more,
In particular, a period of 4 hours or more and 10 hours or less is suitable. Examples of polymerization initiators that can be used in the polymerization reaction include hydroperoxides such as t-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide, and di-t-butyl peroxide.
Mention may be made of initiators such as di-alkyl peroxides, or redox systems of persulfates, intersulfate-sulfites, such as ammonium persulfate, and water-soluble azobis systems. By the production method of the present invention, the average molecular weight is 300 to 5000.
maleate copolymers can be obtained easily and efficiently. Although the reason is not clear,
This is thought to be due to the fact that monoalkali metal maleate or monoammonium maleate forms intramolecular hydrogen bonds in an aqueous solution and takes a planar structure, which increases radical coherence stabilization and increases its polymerizability. The maleate copolymer produced by the method of the present invention has particularly excellent dispersibility and calcium ion trapping ability, and can be used as a scale inhibitor, a pigment dispersant, a detergent builder, and the like. EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Example 1 294 g (3.0 mol) of maleic anhydride and 228 g of water were added to a flask equipped with a thermometer, stirrer, dropping funnel, nitrogen inlet tube, and reflux condenser, and while stirring,
315 g of 40% caustic soda aqueous solution (3.15 g as NaOH)
mol) was added. Furthermore, 5.4 g (0.075 mol) of acrylic acid was added, and after the system became homogeneous, a small amount of the solution was taken and diluted with water to make a 3% aqueous solution.The pH was measured, and it was found to be 4.09 (measurement temperature: 35°C). ).
Next, after increasing the temperature of the system to 100°C while introducing nitrogen,
As a polymerization initiator, a mixed solution of 25 g of sodium persulfate and 233 g of 35% hydrogen peroxide solution was added dropwise over 6 hours.
After the dropping was completed, the system was heated at 100℃ for 2 hours, and then heated to 40℃.
Cooled below. When a small amount of this solution was taken and the pH was measured, it was 5.02. A maleic acid/acrylic acid copolymer with a solids content of 38% was thus obtained. Example 2 Example 1 except that 12.4 g (0.06 mol) of sodium styrene sulfonate was added instead of acrylic acid.
A maleic acid/sodium styrene sulfonate copolymer was synthesized in exactly the same manner. The polymerization rate and average molecular weight of the obtained copolymer are shown in Table 1 below. The polymerization rate was determined by quantifying the residual monomer by the promine-bromide method. The average molecular weight of the copolymer was also measured by gel permeation chromatography. 【table】
