Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scale adhesion preventive agent for polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenic double bond and a polymer scale adhesion prevention method.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved method of polymerizing a monomer having an ethylenic double bond, and particularly to the type of the monomer and the polymerization formulation (type of polymerization catalyst, stabilizer, etc.). The present invention provides a method capable of effectively preventing scale adhesion without being affected by the above). Conventionally, a suspension polymerization method, an emulsion polymerization method, a solution polymerization method, a gas phase polymerization method, or a bulk polymerization method is known as a polymerization method for vinyl monomers. In this case, there was a problem that polymer scale adhered to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel and other stirrer parts.

That is, when the vinyl monomer is polymerized by these methods, polymer scale is attached to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel and a portion where the monomer is in contact, such as a stirrer section. In addition to lowering the cooling capacity, this scale has the disadvantage that it peels and mixes into the product, degrading the quality of the product.On the other hand, in order to remove this adhered scale, excessive labor and time are required. Not only is it required, but since unreacted monomers are adsorbed in this scale, there is a danger of human injury due to monomers (such as vinyl chloride), which has become a very serious problem in recent years. There is a disadvantage.

As for the prevention of adhesion of the polymer (scale) to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, polar organic compounds such as amine compounds, quinone compounds and aldehyde compounds have been heretofore used, for example, in some cases in suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride. Is known, or a method of adding these compounds to an aqueous medium is known. However, although these methods show a scale-preventing effect for repeated polymerization up to about 5 to 6 batches, they have the disadvantage that the preventive effect disappears when the number of polymerization batches is more than that (inferior in sustainability). The effect on the water-soluble catalyst was particularly remarkable, and it was not industrially satisfactory.

In order to overcome this disadvantage, JP-A-57-155201
In the publication, a condensation product of an aromatic amine compound is proposed. The condensation product of this aromatic amine compound,
The composition was applied to the wall surface of the polymerization vessel and the portion in contact with the monomer, heated and dried, and then polymerized. The scale does not adhere to the liquid phase in the polymerization vessel even if the polymerization after the coating is repeated. Similar effects were also obtained with the water-soluble catalyst. However, there is a drawback that scale adheres near the interface between the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion located in the upper layer portion in the polymerization vessel.

[0006]

Generally, scale is likely to adhere to the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion located in the upper layer portion in the polymerization vessel. Even if you form a coating film consisting of polymer scale adhesion inhibitor,
Scale adheres.

Once the scale adheres to the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion, the adhered scale gradually grows as the polymerization is repeated, and finally the quality of the product is improved. However, it causes an increase in fisheyes of molded products, which is one of the most important physical properties. That is, as the polymer scale attached near the interface between the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion grows, it may peel off and be mixed into the product polymer. When the scale thus peeled off is mixed in 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 deteriorated. Will be done.

Further, when the polymer adhesion preventing method of applying the condensation product of the aromatic amine compound to the inside of the polymerization vessel is used, the condensation product formed as a coating film in the polymerization vessel becomes the product polymer. When the product polymer is mixed and molded into a transparent sheet or the like, the initial colorability of the molded product is impaired and the quality of the molded product deteriorates.

[0009]

The object of the present invention is to prevent the polymer scale from adhering to the polymer particles regardless of the kinds of the monomers used and the like. Polymer scale anti-adhesion agent and polymer scale adhesion preventive agent, which has a high quality of coalescence, can suppress the fish eye of the molded product after processing to an extremely low level, and can also suppress the deterioration of the initial coloring property to an extremely low level. To provide a method. That is, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned object, that is, a monomer having an ethylenic double bond, which is composed of a condensation product of (A) an aromatic amine compound and (B) an aromatic hydroxy compound in an alkaline medium. Provided is a scale adhesion preventive agent for body polymerization.

Further, a scale deposition for polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenic double bond, which comprises the condensation product of the first item and an alkali metal salt or ammonium salt of a sulfonated product of the condensation product of the first item. Provide an inhibitor.

Furthermore, in the polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenic double bond in a polymerization vessel, there is provided a method for preventing adhesion of a polymer scale, which comprises:
There is provided a method for preventing adhesion of a polymer scale, which comprises a step of performing the polymerization in a polymerization vessel in which a coating film of the reaction product according to the first or second aspect is formed.

Formation of Coating Film 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 1 to 100 ° C, further wash with water if necessary. By doing so, a coating film is formed on the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel, so that adhesion of the polymer scale to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel is prevented.

The coating solution is preferably applied not only to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel, but also to other portions with which the monomer contacts during the polymerization, thereby forming a coating film. .. For example, it is preferable to form a coating film on the stirring blade, stirring shaft, baffle, condenser, header, search coil, bolt, nut, etc. by applying the coating liquid.
In particular, the stirring blade, the stirring shaft, and the baffle should normally be coated with the coating liquid to form a coating film. In order to form a coating film by applying the coating liquid to these portions, it may be carried out in the same manner as in the case of forming the coating film on the inner wall of the polymerization vessel.

More preferably, the coating solution is a site other than the site where the monomer contacts during the polymerization, but a site where the polymer scale may adhere, for example, a device for collecting unreacted monomer and a system. The coating liquid is preferably applied to the inner surface of the pipe to form a coating film. As such a part,
More specifically, the inner surface of a monomer distillation column, a condenser, a monomer storage tank, a valve and the like can be mentioned. The coating film may be formed at these portions as in the case of forming the coating film on the inner wall of the polymerization vessel.

Is prevented. The method of applying the coating liquid to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include brush coating, spray coating, and a method of withdrawing after filling the polymerization vessel with the coating solution.

There is no limitation on the method of drying the wet surface due to the application of the coating liquid, and the following method can be used, for example.
That is, after applying the coating solution, a method of applying an appropriately heated hot air to the coating surface, or heating the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel and the other surface to which the coating solution is applied in advance to, for example, 30 to 80 ° C. The method of directly applying the coating solution to the heated surface can be used. After drying the coated surface, the coated surface is washed with water as needed.

The coating film thus obtained has a total coating amount after drying of usually 0.001 g / m ² or more, particularly 0.05 to ²
It is preferably g / m ² . The above coating work is 1
It may be carried out for every 10 to several batches of polymerization. The formed coating film has high durability and the action of preventing the polymer scale from adhering is maintained, so that it is not always necessary to perform it for each batch of polymerization. Therefore, the productivity of the product polymer is improved.

Polymerization As described above, a coating film is formed by applying a coating treatment to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, and preferably to the other portions where the monomers come into contact during the polymerization. Polymerize. That is, in addition to a monomer having an ethylenic double bond and a polymerization initiator (catalyst), if necessary, a polymerization medium such as water, and a suspending agent, a solid dispersant, a nonionic or anionic emulsifier, etc. A dispersant and the like are charged, and then polymerization is performed by a conventional method.

Examples of the monomer having an ethylenic double bond which is polymerized by applying the method of the present invention include vinyl halides such as vinyl chloride; vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate; acrylic acid. , Methacrylic acid, and their esters or salts; maleic acid, fumaric acid, and their esters or anhydrides; diene-based monomers such as butadiene, chloroprene, isoprene; styrene, acrylonitrile, vinylidene halide, vinyl ether, etc. Be done.

It is effective in both bulk polymerization and vapor phase polymerization, and is particularly suitable for polymerization in an aqueous medium such as suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization.

A general polymerization method will be specifically described below by taking suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization as examples. First,
Water and a dispersant are charged into a polymerization vessel, and then a polymerization initiator is charged. Next, after exhausting the inside of the polymerization vessel to reduce the pressure to 0.1 to 760 mmHg, the monomer was charged (at this time, the internal pressure of the polymerization vessel was
Usually 0.5 to 30 kgf / cm ² · G), then 30 to 1
Polymerize at reaction temperature of 50 ° C. During the polymerization, one or more of water, a dispersant, and a polymerization-facilitating agent are added as needed. The reaction temperature during polymerization depends on the type of monomer to be polymerized. Polymerize with. For polymerization, the internal pressure of the polymerization vessel is 0
When it falls to 7 kgf / cm ² · G, or when there is almost no difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the cooling water that flows in and out of the jacket installed on the outer periphery of the polymerization vessel (that is, the heat generated by the polymerization reaction disappears). It is judged that it has been completed. Water, a dispersant, and a polymerization initiator charged during the polymerization are usually 20 to 5 parts of water per 100 parts by weight of the monomer.
00 parts by weight, dispersant 0.01 to 30 parts by weight, polymerization initiator 0.01 to 5
Parts by weight.

In the case of solution polymerization, an organic solvent such as toluene, xylene or pyridine is used as a polymerization medium instead of water. A dispersant is used as needed. Other polymerization conditions are generally the same as those for suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization. In the case of bulk polymerization, the inside of the polymerization vessel is evacuated to a pressure of about 0.01 to 760 mmHg, then the monomer and the polymerization initiator are charged into the polymerization vessel, and the polymerization is carried out at a reaction temperature of -10 to 250 ° C. .. For example, it is carried out at 30 to 80 ° C. in the case of vinyl chloride polymerization and at 50 to 150 ° C. in the case of styrene polymerization.

When polymerization is carried out by applying the polymer scale adhesion preventing method of the present invention, adhesion of the polymer scale can be prevented regardless of the material of the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel. The adhesion of polymer scale can be prevented even when the polymerization is carried out in a steel or other steel-made polymerization vessel, a glass-lined polymerization vessel, or the like.

What is added to the polymerization system can be used without any restrictions. That is, for example, t-butyl peroxy neodecanoate, bis (2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide, α-cumylperoxy neodecanoate, cumene hydroper Oxite, cyclohexanone peroxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, bis (2-ethoxyethyl) peroxydicarbonate, benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl peroxide, diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate , Α,

OP: plasticizer such as DBP; mercaptans such as t-dodecyl mercaptan; chain transfer agent such as trichlorethylene; pH
Even in a polymerization system in which a regulator or the like is present, the method of the present invention can effectively prevent the adhesion of polymer scale.

The polymer scale adhesion preventive agent of the present invention may be used for forming a coating film on the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel or the like, and may be further added directly to the polymerization system to improve the scale prevention effect. You can also let it. In that case, the addition amount of the polymer scale anti-adhesion agent is appropriately about 10 to 1000 ppm with respect to the total weight of the charged monomers. When adding, care should be taken not to affect the quality of the product polymer such as fisheye, bulk specific gravity and particle size distribution.

[Table 1]

Example 1 (Experiment Nos. 101 to 121) Polymerization was carried out as follows using a stainless steel polymerization vessel equipped with a stirrer and having an internal volume of 1000 liters. In each experiment, first, the condensation product was dissolved in a solvent so that the concentration was as shown in Table 1 to prepare a coating solution. These coating solutions were applied to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, the stirring shaft, the stirring blades, and other parts where the monomers come into contact with each other during the polymerization, and were heated and dried at 40 ° C for 15 minutes to form a coating film, and then washed with water.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the adhesion of polymer scale can be effectively prevented, and the coating film formed on the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel according to the present invention may be peeled off during the polymerization or may be polymerized. Since it does not dissolve in the system, when the resulting product polymer has a significantly reduced number of fish eyes after molding, the deterioration of the initial colorability of the product polymer after molding is reduced.

Further, according to the present invention, the adhesion of the polymer scale is effective regardless of the polymerization conditions such as the type of the monomer and the polymerization initiator used, the polymerization type, the material of the inner wall of the polymerization vessel and the like. Can be prevented. That is, for example, in emulsion polymerization where it is difficult to prevent the adhesion of polymer scale, even when using a stainless steel polymerization vessel where the polymer scale easily adheres, or polymerization of potassium peroxodisulfate having strong oxidizing power is started. Even when it is used as an agent, the adhesion of polymer scale can be effectively prevented.

Therefore, when the polymerization is carried out by applying the present invention, it is not necessary to carry out the polymer scale removal work for each polymerization, thereby improving the productivity and producing a fish eye in a molded product. It is possible to produce significantly less high quality product polymer.
