Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of multimetal cyanide compounds, the multimetal cyanide compounds prepared by this process and their use as catalysts for the polymerization of alkylene oxides.
- Polyether alcohols are used in large quantities for the production of polyurethanes. They are usually produced by catalytic addition of lower alkylene oxides, in particular ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, to H-functional starter substances. Basic metal hydroxides or salts are mostly used as catalysts, the potassium hydroxide being of the greatest practical importance.
- DD-A-203 735 and DD-A-203 734 describe the production of polyetherols using zinc hexacyano cobaltate.
- the production of zinc hexacyanometalates is also known.
- These catalysts are usually prepared by solutions of metal salts, such as zinc chloride, with solutions of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal cyanometalates, such as potassium hexacyanoates. cobaltat, to be implemented.

- a disadvantage of this process is that the slurrying of the multimetal cyanide compound in the organic solvent represents an additional process step, which makes the process more complicated.
- the spray drying must be carried out under an inert gas atmosphere. Furthermore, it has been shown that the multimetal cyanide catalysts produced in this way still have an insufficient catalytic activity.

- the recrystallization can be carried out by various measures. It is thus possible to add further reactant solutions, in particular the solution of the metal salt, to the suspension formed after the reaction. Another possibility is to change the temperature of the precipitation suspension after the precipitation has ended, in particular to heat the suspension. Another possibility is to add further heteroatoms containing ligands and / or surface-active substances to the precipitation suspension after the precipitation has ended. Another possibility is to change the pH of the precipitation suspension.

- the aqueous suspension is first divided into fine droplets in the spray dryer by means of an atomizing device, such as a one-component nozzle, two-component nozzle, or a rotary atomizer, which are then dispersed in a hot gas stream.
- the inlet temperature of the drying gas is preferably between 120 ° C and 350 ° C. Due to the intensive heat and mass exchange of the spray droplets with the hot drying gas, the liquid evaporates from the spray droplets into the drying gas, so that a dry powdery solid is obtained. At the outlet of the spray dryer, the dried spray powder is separated from the drying gas, for example with a filter or cyclone. Since the metal cyanide compounds are dried from aqueous solution, the safety requirements for the spray drying process are considerably lower than in the presence of organic solvents. In principle, all gases which are inert to the multimetal cyanide compounds under the drying conditions can be used as drying gases. Air, nitrogen or argon are used in particular.
- Air can be used particularly preferably as the drying gas, which leads to a significantly higher activity of the catalyst compared to nitrogen.

- the starting substances used as higher-functional starting substances are, in particular, sugar alcohols, for example sorbitol, hexitol and sucrose, but mostly two- and / or three-functional alcohols or water, either as a single substance or as a mixture of at least 2 of the starting substances mentioned.

- catalysts other than multimetal cyanide compounds for example alkali metal hydroxides
- alkali metal hydroxides it is necessary to remove the catalyst almost completely, since alkali metal hydroxides can deactivate the multimetal cyanide catalysts.
- the advantage of using alkoxylates as starter substances is that the reaction starts faster, the disadvantage is the introduction of an additional process step and, as stated, the time-consuming cleaning of the alkoxylate.
- the polyether alcohols produced using the DMC catalysts according to the invention are preferably used for the production of polyurethanes, in particular polyurethane foams and in particular flexible polyurethane foams.
- the polyurethanes are produced by reacting the polyether alcohols with polyisocyanates in the presence of catalysts, blowing agents and, if appropriate, other customary auxiliaries and / or additives.
