The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-soluble low polymerization degree amide group-containing polymer. Conventionally, it has been known that in order to produce a polymer with a low degree of polymerization, the monomer concentration is low and the polymerization initiator concentration is high. However, lowering the monomer concentration requires a large polymerization apparatus, which increases equipment costs, and the concentration of the produced polymer is also low, requiring a complicated process and a large amount of cost to powder it.
Increasing the concentration of the polymerization initiator has the disadvantage of increasing costs and increasing the amount of impurities other than the polymer. It is also known to lower the degree of polymerization by using chain transfer agents such as mercaptans and amines, but this has the disadvantage of increasing impurities since they must be used in large amounts. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently producing an amide group-containing polymer with a low degree of polymerization, which is inexpensive, and contains few impurities. Another purpose is to prevent hydrolysis of amide groups and obtain polymers with no or few carboxyl groups. That is, the present invention involves adding a monomer solution containing an amide group and hydrogen peroxide solution dropwise to an aqueous solvent containing a buffer solution and adjusting the pH to 6 to 7, and polymerizing at a temperature ranging from 50°C to boiling temperature. It is characterized by In the present invention, the aqueous solvent refers to water or a mixed solvent with an organic solvent that is miscible with water. In the present invention, monomers containing an amide group include acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-
Alkylacrylamide, N-alkylmethacrylamide, N,N-dialkylacrylamide,
N,N-dialkylmethacrylamide, N-dialkylaminoalkylacrylamide, N-dialkylaminoalkylmethacrylamide, acrylamidealkyltrialkylammonium salt,
Examples include methacrylamide alkyltrialkylammonium salt, methylol acrylamide, methylol methacrylamide, and the like. This amide group-containing monomer is made into an aqueous solution and is added dropwise for polymerization. The concentration of the aqueous solution may be arbitrary. Moreover, a copolymer can be obtained by mixing this amide group-containing monomer with another monomer that can be copolymerized with it, or by dropping the monomer as a separate solution. Other copolymerizable monomers include acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, 2
Examples include -acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonate, dimethylaminoethyl acrylate or dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate acid salt or quaternary ammonium salt, dimethyldiallylammonium salt, vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium salt, and the like. In the present invention, a hydrogen peroxide solution is used as a polymerization initiator. Hydrogen peroxide is best handled using a hydrogen peroxide solution with a concentration of 3 to 35%. In addition, persulfates such as sodium persulfate, potassium persulfate, and ammonium persulfate may be used together with this hydrogen peroxide solution before starting polymerization, but when persulfates decompose, they cause a decrease in the pH of the polymerization solution. becomes. If the pH of the polymerization solution decreases, there is a risk that the amide group will be hydrolyzed, so in the present invention, the pH is adjusted to 6 to 7 using a buffer solution. As the buffer solution, any known buffer solution such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate-sodium hydroxide, potassium phthalate-sodium hydroxide, etc. can be employed. The buffer solution may be added to the aqueous solvent in advance, or may be added dropwise during polymerization. The polymerization temperature is preferably in the range of 50°C to boiling temperature. 50
When the temperature is lower than ℃, the degree of polymerization becomes high and a product with a low degree of polymerization cannot be obtained. Although the boiling temperature can be increased by using a pressure reactor, the boiling temperature at normal pressure is preferred in consideration of safety and economy. Place an aqueous solvent in a reactor equipped with a thermometer and a stirrer, add a buffer solution if necessary, and heat at 50℃ under normal pressure.
As described above, the monomer solution containing an amide group and the hydrogen peroxide solution are separately added dropwise under stirring while maintaining the boiling temperature by heating preferably to the boiling temperature, and
A polymer solution can be obtained by allowing the polymerization reaction to occur, and even after the dropwise addition is completed, the mixture is kept at boiling temperature and stirred for about 30 minutes to complete the polymerization reaction. The degree of polymerization of the polymer can be adjusted by changing the concentration and dropping rate of the monomer solution, the concentration and dropping rate of the hydrogen peroxide solution, and the polymerization temperature. The degree of polymerization can be determined from the relation between the intrinsic viscosity [η] and the polymer molecular weight w. For example, in the case of polyacrylamide, w is calculated from the relational expression [η] 30°C IN−NaNO3=3.73×10 -4 w 0.66 reported by W. A. Barber, and w is the molecular weight of the acrylamide monomer (72). It can be found by dividing by. According to the present invention, the average degree of polymerization is 10,000 or less, especially
100 or less can be efficiently produced. The obtained polymer is useful as a scale inhibitor for boiler water and cooling water, or as a raw material thereof. Example 1 490 ml of water and buffer solution (0.050 mol/-
Add 10ml of KH 2 PO 4 /0.024mol/-NaOH),
The temperature was raised to boiling temperature using a mantle heater. Next, while keeping the temperature at boiling temperature and stirring, 178 g of a 50% acrylamide aqueous solution and 97 g of a 3.5% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution were separately and continuously added dropwise over 470 minutes to carry out polymerization. After the dropwise addition was completed, the system was kept at boiling temperature and stirred for 30 minutes to complete the polymerization reaction and obtain a polymer solution. In this case, the pH of the system is 6.9 (20℃) both before and after polymerization.
It was hot. The boiling temperature of the system was 99-100°C. Example 2 Except for using 140 g of 17.5% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution,
Polymerization was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1. The pH and temperature of the system in this case were also the same as in Example 1. Example 3 Polymerization was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 200 g of a 35% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution was used. The pH and temperature of the system in this case were also the same as in Example 1. In addition, the physical properties of the polymers obtained in Examples 1 to 3 were measured. The results are shown in the table below.
