Description

Metal oxide supported metal cyanide catalyst, method for preparing the same, and method for preparing polyether polyol using the same {Metal oxide supported metal cyanide catalyst, method for preparing coconut and polyether polyol by using the same}

The present invention relates to a metal cyanide catalyst supported on a metal oxide, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a polyether polyol using the same.

Polyether polyol is a substance containing two or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) in a molecule and containing an ether group, and may be used as a starting material for producing a polyurethane by reaction with a polyisocyanate under appropriate conditions. Such polyether polyols can generally be prepared by ring-opening polymerization of epoxy monomers using a basic metal hydroxide such as KOH as a catalyst. However, the basic metal hydroxide also acts as a catalyst to actively promote other side reactions such as isomerization in the ring-opening polymerization process, thereby increasing the content of so-called monols having alken groups instead of hydroxyl groups at the polyol ends.

In order to solve the disadvantages of the basic metal hydroxide, a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst is used in the preparation of the polyether polyol. However, the double metal cyanide catalyst also has a disadvantage in that productivity is low due to a long induction time, and a large amount of organic complexing agents and transition metals are used in the process of preparing the double metal cyanate catalyst, which is not environmentally friendly. there was.

The present invention is to provide a metal cyanide catalyst supported on a metal oxide, a method for producing the same and a method for producing a polyether polyol using the same.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a metal cyanide catalyst including a metal cyanide salt, a metal oxide and a polyether compound including a metal and a cyan group can be provided.

As another embodiment of the present invention, a method of preparing a metal cyan salt catalyst may be provided, which comprises mixing and reacting a polyether compound, a metal salt, a metal oxide precursor, and a metal cyan salt.

As another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for producing a polyether polyol comprising the step of ring-opening polymerization of an epoxy monomer under the metal cyanide catalyst prepared above.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

As one example of the present invention, the metal cyanide catalyst may include a metal cyanide salt, a metal oxide, and a polyether compound.

In the catalyst according to the invention, the metal cyanide salt acts as the active component and comprises at least one metal and at least two cyan groups. The metal cyanide salt may be classified into a double metal cyanide (DMC) or a multi metal cyanide (MMC) according to the type of metal contained in the structure, and the present invention includes both .

For example, the DMC catalyst is a reaction product of a metal salt soluble in water and a metal cyan salt soluble in water. The metal salts soluble in water generally have a general formula of M (X) n, where M is, for example, Zn (II), Fe (II), Ni (II), Mn (II), Co (II). ), Sn (II), Pb (II), Fe (III), Mo (IV), Mo (VI), Al (II), V (V), V (IV), Sr (II), W (IV ), W (VI), Cu (II), and Cr (III). Specifically, Zn (II), Fe (II), Co (II), Ni (II), or the like may be selected. Can be selected. X may be, for example, a halide, a hydroxide, a sulfate, a carbonate, a cyanide, an oxalate, a thiocyanate, an isocyanate, an isothiocyanate, An anion selected from the group consisting of isothiocyanate, carboxylate and nitrate. The value of n is from 1 to 3, and satisfies the valence of M.

The metal salt is, for example, zinc chloride, zinc bromide, zinc acetate, zinc acetonylacetonate, zinc benzoate, zinc nitrate, iron bromide (II), cobalt (II) chloride, cobalt thiocyanate ( II), nickel (II) formate, or nickel (II) nitrate.

The metal cyanide salt soluble in water may be, for example, potassium hexacyanocobaltate (III), potassium hexacyanoferrate (II), potassium hexacyanoferrate (III), calcium hexacynocobaltate (II), or lithium hexacyanoferrate (II).

Conventional bimetallic cyanide catalysts have included organic complexing agents and, in general, excessive amounts of complexing agents have been used after catalyst preparation or precipitation. Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, amides, ureas, nitriles, sulphates and mixtures thereof have been used as the organic complexes, of which ether or water-soluble aliphatic alcohols have been preferred. In general, tertiary butyl alcohol has been used in the manufacture of double metal cyanide catalysts. However, when a catalyst is prepared using an organic complexing agent such as tert-butyl alcohol (t-BuOH), the synthesis process is complicated, the preparation time is long, and an excessive amount of organic complexing agent is used, . In addition, when the prepared double metal cyanide catalyst is used, there is a problem in that productivity is reduced due to a long induction time.

However, as an example of the present invention, in the metal cyanide catalyst supported on the metal oxide, the organic complexing agent was excluded, and only a polyether compound used as a conventional complexing agent was used, and the polyether compound was used for the activity of the catalyst. In addition to increasing the role, it also serves to control the structure of the catalyst to form a porous material (mesoporous material) structure.

In addition, in the present invention, by using a metal oxide, the specific surface area is increased, and when the polyol is prepared using the prepared metal oxide-supported double metal cyanide catalyst, the polymerization activity is increased and the induction time can be shortened. have.

The metal oxide refers to a metal compound combined with oxygen, and is not particularly limited as the metal oxide that can be used in the present invention. For example, SiO ₂ , Al ₂ O ₃ , ZnO, ZrO ₂ , MgO, NiO It may be at least one selected from the group consisting of, CoO, Co ₃ O ₄ , V ₂ O ₅ , Fe ₂ O ₃ , Fe ₃ O ₄ , GeO ₂ and TiO ₂ . The metal oxide may be included in more than 30 wt%, for example 40 to 90 wt% with respect to the total weight of the prepared bimetal cyanide catalyst.

In addition, the polyether compound included in the double metal cyanide catalyst may be a compound prepared by ring-opening polymerization of a cyclic ether compound, an epoxy polymer or an oxetane polymer, and the terminal may be a hydroxyl group, an amine group, an ester group or an ether group. have. Preferably, the hydroxyl functionality may be from 1 to 8, and may be, for example, a polyether polyol, preferably poly (propylene glycol), poly (ethylene glycol), polytetramethylene glycol, ethylene oxide And a block copolymer of propylene oxide, a butylene oxide polymer, and a hyper branched polyglycidol. (Ethylene oxide) -poly (propylene oxide) -poly (ethylene oxide) ternary copolymer, EO-capped poly (oxypropylene) polyol or EO-PO Polyol, and the butylene oxide polymer may be, for example, butylene glycol. It may also be a branched glycerol having a hydroxyl group and a copolymer thereof having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 50.000.

The polyether compound may be included in 0.1 to 30 wt% in the prepared double metal cyanide catalyst. The molecular weight of the polyether compound may be, for example, 200 to 50,000, but is not particularly limited thereto. In one embodiment, when the polyether compound is polyethylene glycol, its molecular weight may be 500 to 15,000, or 1,000 to 10,000. In another embodiment, when the polyether compound is polypropylene glycol or poly (ethylene oxide) -poly (propylene oxide) -poly (ethylene oxide) terpolymer, the molecular weight may be 200 to 15,000, or 400 to 10,000.

In addition, the content of the metal in the metal cyanide salt, which is one component of the metal cyanide catalyst according to the present invention, may be 10,000 to 60,000 ppm, for example, 50,000 ppm or less and 40,000 ppm or less based on the total weight of the catalyst. This is eco-friendly because the content of the metal component is significantly lower than that of the conventional double metal cyanide salt catalyst.

Meanwhile, the metal cyanide catalyst according to the present invention is porous, unlike the conventional catalyst. For example, the metal cyanide catalyst according to the present invention has a mesopore as shown in FIG. 1 and can have excellent activity at a high specific surface area.

As another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for preparing a metal cyan salt catalyst comprising mixing and reacting a polyether compound, a metal salt metal oxide precursor, and a metal cyan salt.

Specifically, ethers such as dimethoxy ethane and diglyme or water-soluble aliphatic alcohols may be used, and alcohols, such as ethanol, isopropanol, normal butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol, may be used. It is also possible to use lactates having both esters and alcohol groups.

As another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for producing a polyether polyol comprising the step of ring-opening polymerization of an epoxy monomer under the metal cyanide catalyst prepared above.

Generally, polyether polyols have been prepared by ring-opening polymerization of epoxy monomers using basic metal hydroxides or double metal cyanide salts as catalysts. In the present invention, as an example, a polyether polyol was prepared using a bimetal cyanide catalyst supported on the metal oxide prepared above instead of a basic metal hydroxide or a bimetal cyanide catalyst, and a polyol was prepared by the above method. In this case, while inducing a polyol having a low degree of unsaturation, the induction time was significantly shortened.

In the present specification, the induction time means the time taken for the catalyst to be activated. For example, the induction time can be obtained through the inflection point of the consumption graph of the monomer over time. Longer induction times lead to lower productivity and extreme heat dissipation that can lead to defects due to overexposure of the product due to uncontrolled temperature rise during catalyst activation.

In the case of using the metal cyanide catalyst according to the present invention, the induction time is 20 to 80 minutes, it is possible to significantly shorten the induction time than when using a conventional double metal cyanide catalyst.

The epoxy monomer is not particularly limited and may be, for example, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.

As one example of the invention, the step of preparing the polyether polyol may further comprise a starter polyol.

The starter polyol may be, for example, a polyether polyol, and is not particularly limited as a polyether polyol, but poly (propylene glycol) or poly (ethylene glycol) may be used.

The polyether polyol prepared by the above production method may contain a small amount, for example, 1,000 ppm or less, or 100 ppm or less, of a metal oxide component which is a part of the catalyst component remaining after the reaction.

In addition, the polyether polyol prepared by the above method may have an unsaturation of 0.003 to 0.04, a number average molecular weight of 1,800 to 5,000, and a molecular weight distribution of 1 to 1.13.

As an example of the present invention, there is provided a metal cyanide catalyst supported on a metal oxide, a method for preparing the same, and a method for preparing a polyether polyol using the same, wherein the method for preparing the metal cyanide catalyst is environmentally friendly, and a polyether polyol is prepared.

Example  One

(1) Preparation of double metal cyanide catalyst supported on metal oxide

To a three neck flask were mixed 4 g (20 mmol) of P123, 20 mL of distilled water, and 110 mL of 2M hydrochloric acid aqueous solution. A solution of 13.86 g of zinc chloride dissolved in 10 mL of distilled water was added to the reaction mixture, and 8.66 g of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) was added dropwise while mixing at room temperature using a mechanical stirrer. Next, 2.98 g of potassium hexacyanocobaltate dissolved in 10 mL of distilled water was added dropwise to the reaction mixture with stirring, and the mixture was reacted at 40 DEG C for 12 hours. After the reaction, the resulting catalyst slurry was transferred to a high-pressure bottle (Wilmad-LabGlass, Model LG-3921-112, capacity 250 mL) and further reacted at 90 ° C for 48 hours. Thereafter, the reaction product was centrifuged to separate solids, and 100 ml of a mixture of t-BuOH and distilled water at a ratio of 7: 3 was added, and the mixture was reacted at 50 ° C. for 30 minutes with stirring. The reaction product was centrifuged again to separate solids, and 100 ml of a mixture of t-BuOH and distilled water at a ratio of 5: 5 was added and reacted at 50 ° C. for 30 minutes while stirring. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product was centrifuged to separate the catalyst cake and dried under vacuum at 60 ° C. and 30 in. Hg to obtain a catalyst (SDMC-P123Ta).

(2) Preparation of Polyether Polyols

Introduced 70 g of PPG (Mw: 400) and 0.3 g of the prepared bimetal cyanide catalyst (SDMC-P123Ta) (250 ppm catalyst amount based on the final polyol) as a starter polyol in a 1 L high pressure reactor It was. While stirring the reaction mixture, the temperature was raised to 150 ° C. and then maintained in vacuo for 2 hours to remove moisture remaining in the mixture. Subsequently, 15 g of propylene oxide (PO) was injected into the reactor, where the pressure in the reactor increased to 4 psig in vacuo. After a period of time (induction time) a pressure drop appeared in the reactor (indicating the activity of the catalyst) and propylene oxide (400 g total) was continuously injected into the reactor to maintain a pressure of 10 psig.

Induction time was measured in terms of the largest change in slope in the graph of consumption of propylene oxide (PO) versus time (min). The temperature was maintained at 115 ° C. when the pressure remained constant after the injection of propylene oxide was completed, ie, until the polymerization of propylene oxide was completed. After completion of the polymerization, the vacuum was maintained at 60 to 80 ℃ for 30 minutes to remove the unreacted propylene oxide in the reactor, and cooled to 40 ℃ to recover the polymer. The activation induction time and the degree of unsaturation of the prepared polyol are summarized in Table 1.
