Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an aliphatic polyvinyl ester having low polymerization degree under industrially advantageous conditions without affecting adverse influence such as malodor or coloring on qualities of the ester by adding a specific acid or its salt in a specific ratio as a chain transfer agent to an aliphatic vinyl ester. SOLUTION: Allylsulfonic acid, methallylsulfonic acid or their salts (e.g. sodium allylsulfonate or sodium methallylsulfonate) in an amount of 0.05-1.0mol% as a chain transfer agent is added to an aliphatic vinyl ester (e.g. vinyl acetate) to polymerize the aliphatic vinyl ester. Furthermore, the resultant objective aliphatic polyvinyl ester is preferably further saponified to provide the objective polyvinyl alcohol. In the above process, the polymerization is preferably carried out at about 60 deg.C by using a solvent such as methanol and a radical polymerization initiator.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, aliphatic polyvinyl esters are industrially produced by polymerization methods such as solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization, etc., and polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter abbreviated as PVA) uses acid or acid It is produced by saponification with an alkali catalyst. Among them, a general method for producing an aliphatic polyvinyl ester and PVA is mainly a method of obtaining a polyvinyl ester by solution polymerization of an aliphatic vinyl ester using alcohol as a solvent and then saponifying with an alkali catalyst to obtain PVA. Although adopted, the degree of polymerization of these is different from that of aliphatic vinyl ester and alcohol.
It is controlled by the compounding ratio with the polymer and the polymerization reaction rate. That is, those having a high degree of polymerization have a high blending ratio of the aliphatic vinyl ester, and those having a low degree of polymerization have a low blending ratio of the aliphatic vinyl ester.

Therefore, in the production of an aliphatic polyvinyl ester or PVA having a low degree of polymerization, there is a problem that the productivity is lowered, the cost is increased because it is necessary to increase the amount of catalyst used, and the quality such as coloring is deteriorated.

Next, a chain transfer constant of 20 is used as a polymerization solvent.

A method of producing A has been proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 51-87594. However, when industrially using a solvent other than methanol, new equipment such as solvent recovery is required in addition to the existing PVA production equipment, and PVA is used.
Will significantly increase the manufacturing cost.

When a chain transfer agent is added to the polymerization system,
It is well known that the degree of polymerization is significantly reduced. For example, a method using mercaptans as a chain transfer agent is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-40043. However, when it is produced using a normal PVA production facility, even a small amount of mercaptans greatly affects the polymerization system.
There is a problem that it is necessary to avoid mixing in the recovered solvent, equipment for that purpose is required, and at the same time, a strong odor peculiar to mercaptans is attached to the product. Other methods include the use of aldehydes and halogenated hydrocarbons as chain transfer agents, but coloring occurs during polymerization or saponification,
There was a problem that white PVA could not be obtained.

Comparative Example 4 In a one-stage continuous polymerization apparatus, 80.0 parts by weight of vinyl acetate, 19.5 parts by weight of methanol, 0.50 parts by weight of n-dodecyl mercaptan, and azobisisobutyronitrile of 0.
04 parts by weight (relative to 100 parts by weight of vinyl acetate) were continuously introduced into the reactor in the reflux state, and the liquid was kept constant and withdrawn from the reactor to keep the yield at 70%. As a result, as shown in Table 1, the polymerization yield was 70% and the average degree of polymerization was 190. The obtained polyvinyl acetate was alkali-saponified to obtain PVA. The whiteness of this PVA was good, but it had a mercaptan odor.

Reference Example To see the chain transfer effect of sodium allylsulfonate,
From the values of the degree of polymerization in Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, the chain transfer constant Cx of sodium allylsulfonate was calculated using the following formula. 1 / P = 1 / P 0 + Cx [X] / [M] However, P = degree of polymerization, the polymerization degree in the absence of P 0 = chain transfer agent, Cx = chain transfer constant, [X] = concentration of chain transfer agent ,
[M] = monomer concentration. Obtained chain transfer constant C
x is 0.3, which is an extremely large value in view of the fact that the chain transfer constant of the monomer and methanol is 2 × 10 −4 , and sodium allylsulfonate effectively acts as a chain transfer agent. It indicates that
