  • FIG2 is an optical photograph of the polylactic acid film residue of one of the three parallel experiments of Experiment A1 at the 8th hour (8h), 16th hour (16h), 24th hour (24h), 32nd hour (32h), 48th hour (48h) and 72nd hour (72h) after the start of the reaction, wherein the dotted line indicates that there is no solid residue.

  • Test A2 The aforementioned polylactic acid film disc was placed in water. The conversion rate of this system was only 5.1% after 5 days of reaction (the change in conversion rate can be seen in Figure 3 and Table 3). The reason why the degradation rate of the polylactic acid film disc in this system was significantly lower than that in Test A1 may be that no organic non-metallic catalyst was added. Even if there was water in the system, without the action of the catalyst, the degradation process was very slow.
  • Test A3 The aforementioned polylactic acid film disc is placed in a dry environment, and 3.5 wt% diphenyl phosphate DPP is mixed in the polylactic acid film disc.
  • the conversion rate of the system after 5 days of reaction is 11.9% (the change in conversion rate can be seen in Figure 3 and Table 3).
  • the reason why the degradation rate of the polylactic acid film disc in this system is significantly lower than that of Test A1 but slightly higher than that of Test A2 may be that although no additional water is added, there is a certain amount of water vapor in the atmospheric environment. When a certain amount of diphenyl phosphate DPP is mixed, the degradation process of the polylactic acid film disc can proceed, but the degradation rate is slow.
  • Test A6 0.5 g of polylactic acid PLA and 0.025 g of diphenyl phosphate DPP were placed in a test tube and placed in an oil bath at 160°C. The tube was left uncovered and 2 drops of deionized water were added every 5 min during the reaction. The test time was 0.5 h.

  • test B1 From the test B1, it can be seen that polylactic acid can be degraded relatively quickly in the presence of only water and diphenyl phosphate. From the comparison of tests B1, B2 and B3, it can be seen that the degradation rate of polylactic acid in a system with water as solvent is faster than that in a system with methanol as solvent; the degradation rate of polylactic acid in the former system is similar to that in a system with methanol and water as mixed solvents. From the comparison of test B1 and test B5, as well as the comparison of test B2 and test B4, it can be seen that the addition of tetrahydrofuran is conducive to accelerating the degradation rate of polylactic acid. The reason may be that tetrahydrofuran plays a solubilizing role, making the reaction raw materials evenly distributed in the system, increasing the contact and reaction opportunities, thereby accelerating the reaction process.
  • the degradation product (the substance shown in B of FIG5 ) was characterized by 1 H NMR, and it was found that the degradation product was lactic acid oligomers and/or monomers, with an average molecular weight of 220 Da and an average degree of polymerization of 2.8; polymers such as PET, PP and PE and the corresponding degradation oligomers and/or monomers were not found in the degradation product.
  • FIG5 C is the solid obtained by separation, and DSC tests were performed on different plastics respectively, and compared with the DSC test results of the corresponding raw materials (PET, PP and PE sheets or pellets) before degradation treatment, that is, FIG5 D, E and F were obtained.

  • DSC test method The thermal properties of plastics are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (Q2000, TA Instruments).

可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法及应用
相关申请
本申请要求于2023年7月5日提交的、申请号为CN2023108217699、名称为“可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法及应用”的中国专利申请的优先权,在此将其全文引入作为参考。
技术领域
本申请涉及高分子材料回收利用技术领域,特别是涉及一种可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法及应用。
背景技术
随着国内外高分子材料产量和消费量的持续攀升,高分子材料的回收利用成为产业可持续发展的关键所在。可降解高分子材料因其在特定条件下可降解的内在特性得到了广泛关注,尤其是聚乳酸、聚己内酯、聚己二酸/对苯二甲酸丁二酯等,它们作为环境友好材料取代了部分传统高分子材料(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚氯乙烯、聚丙烯等)的市场,并被广泛应用于包装和医药等领域,以期降低高分子材料对环境造成的污染。
可降解高分子材料(如聚酯、聚碳酸酯等)的自然降解速度较慢,在海洋、土壤中降解到低分子状态需要两至三年时间,即便在工业堆肥条件下也需要半年左右的时间才能完全降解。可降解高分子材料的自然降解速度不均会形成破碎的塑料颗粒而非低聚物,引发的微塑料问题甚至比石油基塑料更严重,不仅不能实现资源的再利用,还会造成对环境的二次污染。同时,传统回收方法如热裂解、醇解和水解的处理条件苛刻、单次处理量少且处理速度慢,降解产物需经历繁琐的纯化步骤才能进行有效的二次利用。

目前市场上主流的传统石油基塑料的替代产品是以聚乳酸为代表的可降解聚酯、聚碳酸酯类材料。尽管这些可降解材料能够在特定条件下降解,但通常需要专业的工业堆肥条件,而目前投入使用的材料已远超现有工业堆肥厂的处理能力。此外,即使是在工业堆肥条件下,材料降解周期通常在3~6个月,且材料及降解产物都直接排入自然环境,无法实现资源的回收再利用。
常用可降解高分子材料例如聚乳酸、聚己内酯、聚丁二酸丁二醇酯、聚己二酸/对苯二甲酸丁二酯等在自然条件下的降解速度极慢,在空气中放置一年也不会发生形态上的明显变化。实现可降解高分子材料的有效降解需要人工干预。
为了更好地实现对可降解高分子材料的处理和回收利用,可以选择化学回收,通常可选用热裂解、醇解和水解等方法。热裂解法的反应温度高、目标产物收率低、副反应较多且产物易发生外消旋化,难以得到高纯度的产品。醇解法通常是在催化剂的作用下,以低烷基醇或乙二醇处理废弃材料以回收其中的羟基酸或酯,例如专利文献(US5264614A、US5264617A)报道了以正丁醇等低烷基醇为溶剂的聚羟基脂肪酸酯(PHA)的醇解回收,但需要加入大量强酸性催化剂(如硫酸),易对设备产生腐蚀,流程复杂,难以扩大至工业级规模,中和水洗还会产生大量废水。另有技术文献分别使用离子液体(CN102659590A)、液体路易斯酸(CN105017013A)、CaO/MCF介孔碱性分子筛(CN107382718A)、碱性低共熔溶剂(CN108837847A)和固载化离子液体(CN110003009A)作为催化剂,在甲醇等溶剂中将聚乳酸转化成了对应的乳酸酯。这在一定程度上改善了设备腐蚀、废水排放和催化剂无法重复使用的问题,但这些催化剂还未实现市场化的供应,需自行制备、步骤繁琐,短期内不具有产业转化能力。水解法则存在水解速度较慢的问题,难以在有限的时间内对有价值的产品进行回收利用,通常还需要高温高压条件和强酸或强碱的催化,并且单次处理量较少,无法满足实际需求。综合来看,传统化学回收方法中可降解高分子材料的降解速度较慢、聚合物底物的转化率低,而且复杂的反应体系还会造成反应后产物分离难度较大,导致收率低且容易引起环境污染。
因此,亟需开发一种反应速度快、转化率高、收率高且绿色环保的可降解高分子材料的回收方法,以便能够将可降解聚酯/聚碳酸酯材料转化为具有高附加值的产品,实现可降解聚酯/聚碳酸酯材料的回收利用,促进产业绿色发展。
根据本申请的各种实施方式和各种实施例,本申请至少提供一种可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法和应用。
在一些实施方式中,可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法包括以下步骤:在有机非金属催化剂和含水溶剂存在的体系中,对可降解高分子材料进行降解处理,得到降解产物;其中,可降解高分子材料包括聚酯材料和聚碳酸酯材料中的一种或多种;有机非金属催化剂选自磷酸二苯酯类、联萘酚磷酸酯类和有 机碱类中的一种或多种。该方法采用特定的有机非金属催化剂可实现对可降解高分子材料的高效降解,降解快、转化率高、反应收率高、成本低;降解产物作为有价值的化学品可再次得到有效利用。
本申请一实施方式采用特定的有机非金属催化剂对可降解高分子材料进行再生回收处理,所采用的特定有机非金属催化剂经大量实验筛选发现,该催化剂能够高效催化聚酯、聚碳酸酯等可降解高分子材料的水解。本申请提供的可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法中,可降解高分子材料的转化率较高,降解产物聚合度低(例如可得到单体或接近单体水平),降解反应后体系中低分子量组合物可实现较高占比(例如95%以上),另外,后处理操作简单、回收效率高,工艺绿色环保,成本低。
在本申请一实施方式提供的可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法中,可降解高分子材料催化降解过程可以在常压和较低温度下进行,不涉及有机溶剂,也无需强酸、强碱环境,不仅无大量废水产生、对反应容器的腐蚀程度小、对处理设备要求也低,而且无需浓缩、多次纯化等一系列繁琐步骤,便于工业化扩大生产。所用有机非金属催化剂大都已经商品化,价廉易得。同时,这些催化剂性质稳定,对储存环境的温度、湿度等无严格要求,还可多次循环使用,有助于进一步降低成本。
该再生处理方法制得的低分子量组合物可作为反应原料直接用于制备高分子材料或复合材料等,实现塑料废弃物的循环利用。

上述可降解高分子材料的再生处理方法中,可降解高分子材料的转化率较高,降解产物聚合度低(例如接近单体水平),降解反应后体系中低分子量组合物可实现较高占比(例如超过95%)。另外,该处理方法对设备要求低,后处理操作简单、工艺绿色环保,成本低。
可以理解地,该再生处理方法可以高效地将可降解高分子材料降解为单体和/或低聚物。也可以通过调整反应原料、工艺参数(例如反应体系中水的含量、催化剂的含量、反应时间、反应温度和反应压力等),将降解的程度控制在一定范围内,即获得具有一定分子量及分布和/或一定转化率的降解产物。该具有一定分子量及分布和/或一定转化率的降解产物可以在不进行纯化等处理的条件下,或者经过简单的分离处理的条件下,直接或便捷地作为聚合反应的原料,经聚合等反应制备可降解高分子材料。

如无特别说明,本申请中的低聚物或寡聚物主要是指分子量≤1500Da的含较少重复单元的聚合物。
降解产物中一部分分子,当分子量较低(如PLA低聚物分子量≤500Da,对应于聚合度≤6.9)时,可以是水溶性的,因此,降解产物中的水溶性分子记为“水溶性小分子”。
如无特别说明,本申请中“接近单体水平低聚物(寡聚物)”主要是指聚合度≤10的低聚物,也可记为“类单体低聚物”或“类单体寡聚物”。
以聚酯材料中的聚乳酸(polylactic acid,简称PLA)为例,聚乳酸在有机非金属催化剂和水存在的条件下,可持续降解,形成基本由单体和/或低聚物(如单体和/或接近单体水平的低聚物)构成的低分子量降解产物。该低分子量降解产物可以直接作为原料进行高效的聚合反应,可用来制备具有一定分子量的聚合产物(如数均分子量≥50kDa)。还可以在采用前述方法对聚乳酸材料进行再生处理的过程中(在有机非金属催化剂和水存在的条件下),通过适当调整原料配比、工艺参数等将反应体系中降解产物的聚合度控制在一定的水平(例如≤8),再将降解产物体系中的降解产物先用于制备丙交酯,进而以丙交酯为原料制备得到高分子量的聚合产物(如数均分子量≥150kDa)。

可以理解地,采用本申请中的技术方案可以将聚酯/聚碳酸酯材料(如废弃的聚酯/聚碳酸酯材料)降解为低分子量的降解产物(例如寡聚物和/或单体),该降解产物还可以进行下一步合成过程或利用。例如,以聚乳酸为高分子材料(原料),利用本申请中公开的技术方案,将经过降解处理的降解产物(例如乳酸单体水溶液)经过萃取除杂等常规分离步骤获得乳酸单体。乳酸作为一种用途广泛的平台分子,除制备聚乳酸外,还可用于化工、食品、化妆品、制药等多种行业。以化工领域为例,乳酸可用于制备多种商品和中间化学品,如乳酸酯、1,2-丙二醇、丙烯酸、丙酮酸、乙醛、2,3-戊二酮等。此外,乳酸可用作防冻剂、羊毛织物印花的固定剂,还可以用于软化皮革、除垢、清洁、调节pH等,同时也是一种绿色有机溶剂。以下提供一些实施例。

本申请发明人还进行了如下(一)~(五)组试验:
(一)将直径8mm的聚乳酸(Mn=121.0kDa,Mw=199.7kDa)薄膜圆片(17±1mg)置于5种不同反应环境中进行5种试验(分别记为A1、A2、A3、A4和A5),环境温度为70℃,每种试验同时进行3组平行试验。分别在每组试验的第1天、第2天、第3天、第4天和第5天计算体系的转化率,并定时观察体系中残留聚合物的表观形态:
(1)试验A1:将前述聚乳酸薄膜圆片置于磷酸二苯酯(简称DPP)水溶液(3.5wt%,10mL,pH=1)中,反应1天后可以观察到聚乳酸薄膜圆片已破碎;2天后在体系中已难以观察到明显的不溶物,聚乳酸薄膜圆片基本全部转化为水溶性小分子产物(经计算,转化率>95%);图2为试验A1的3组平行试验中之一的聚乳酸薄膜圆片在反应开始后的第8小时(8h)、第16小时(16h)、第24小时(24h)、第32小时(32h)、第48小时(48h)和第72小时(72h)的聚乳酸薄膜残余物的光学照片,其中的虚线表示已无固体残余物。该体系在反应进行2天后转化率已达到95.3%,在反应进行3天后转化率已达到100%(转化率变化可参见图3和表3)。
(2)试验A2:将前述聚乳酸薄膜圆片置于水中。该体系在反应进行5天后转化率仅为5.1%(转化率变化可参见图3和表3),该体系中的聚乳酸薄膜圆片降解速度明显低于试验A1的原因可能是未添加有机非金属催化剂,即便体系中有水,但无催化剂的作用时,该降解过程十分缓慢。
(3)试验A3:将前述聚乳酸薄膜圆片置于干燥环境中,在聚乳酸薄膜圆片中混有3.5wt%的磷酸二苯酯DPP。该混有3.5wt%DPP的聚乳酸薄膜圆片的制备方法为:在溶有PLA的DCM溶液中加入DPP,溶剂挥发后得到含有均匀分布的磷酸二苯酯DPP的样品薄膜(Mn=84.3kDa,Mw=136.8kDa),将薄膜置于放有五氧化二磷的密闭玻璃容器中以尽量除去环境中的水分。该体系在反应进行5天后转化率为11.9%(转化率变化可参见图3和表3),该体系中的聚乳酸薄膜圆片降解速度明显低于试验A1但略高于试验A2的原因可能是虽然没有额外添加水,但大气环境中有一定的水蒸气,在混入了一定含量的磷酸二苯酯DPP的情况下,聚乳酸薄膜圆片的降解过程可以进行,但降解速度较慢。
(4)试验A4:将前述聚乳酸薄膜圆片置于稀释的盐酸水溶液(pH=1)中。该体系在反应进行5天后转化率为10.4%(转化率变化可参见图3和表3)。
(5)试验A5:将前述聚乳酸薄膜圆片置于氢氧化钠水溶液(pH=13)中。该体系在反应进行5天后转化率为65.7%(转化率变化可参见图3和表3)。
表3试验A1~试验A5的3组平行试验中体系中的聚乳酸薄膜圆片在第1天~第5天的转化为水溶性小分子的转化率
由试验A1和试验A3的对比可知,磷酸二苯酯催化PLA的降解主要通过水解的方式进行,当体系中含水量极少(仅原料残余水分、环境中的水分)时,PLA的降解速度大大减缓,当体系中水分被基本耗尽后,PLA基本不降解,而在含水溶剂中,磷酸二苯酯可显著催化PLA的水解。
由试验A1、试验A4和试验A5的对比可知,磷酸二苯酯催化PLA水解的效果远好于传统的酸碱催化剂。
(二)进行聚乳酸降解的两组试验,两组试验的区别仅在于其中一组试验不添加催化剂磷酸二苯酯(试验A7),所用聚乳酸样品测得的初始峰值分子量(Mpeak)为146.8kDa(凝胶渗透色谱测试,四氢呋喃流动相,聚苯乙烯为标样)。在采用凝胶渗透色谱对样品进行测试时,流出曲线或分子量分布曲线图中的峰的顶端对应的分子量即为峰值分子量(Mpeak)。通过峰值分子量可初步判断聚合物的分子量大小。
(6)试验A6:取0.5g的聚乳酸PLA和0.025g的磷酸二苯酯DPP投入试管中,置于160℃油浴,敞口放置,反应过程中每隔5min滴入2滴去离子水,试验时间为0.5h;
(7)试验A7:取0.5g的聚乳酸投入试管中,置于160℃油浴,敞口放置,反应过程中每隔5min滴入2滴去离子水,试验时间为0.5h。
在反应开始后每隔5min取样测试,测试方法同前(凝胶渗透色谱法,四氢呋喃流动相,聚苯乙烯为标样);测得0.5h后试验A6和A7制得产物的峰值分子量(Mpeak)分别为0.5kDa和83.7kDa。由试验A6和A7可知,即便在水的添加量较少的情况下,磷酸二苯酯仍能有效催化聚乳酸降解(参见图4)。
(三)将购自TotalEnergies Corbion的牌号为LX175的聚乳酸PLA粒料(直径~3mm)各1g置于5种不同的溶有0.035g的磷酸二苯酯DPP的溶液中(溶液质量为20g),环境温度为80℃,在2天后将全部组分取出冻干,进行GPC测试。
(1)试验B1:去离子水,2天后冻干样GPC测试结果:Mn=6.3kDa,Mw=9.1kDa,PDI=1.44;
(2)试验B2:甲醇,2天后冻干样GPC测试结果:Mn=26.7kDa,Mw=33.1kDa,PDI=1.24;
(3)试验B3:甲醇/水混合溶剂(m/m=1:3),2天后冻干样GPC测试结果:Mn=7.4kDa,Mw=10.7kDa,PDI=1.45;其中,m/m表示相应两种成分的质量比;
(4)试验B4:甲醇/四氢呋喃混合溶剂(m/m=1:3),2天后冻干样GPC测试结果:Mn=8.6kDa,Mw=13.5kDa,PDI=1.57;
(5)试验B5:水/四氢呋喃混合溶剂(m/m=1:3),2天后冻干样GPC测试结果:Mn=0.5kDa,Mw=0.7kDa,PDI=1.4,样品分子量已接近GPC检测下限。
从试验B1可知,聚乳酸在仅有水和磷酸二苯酯存在的条件下可以较快地降解。对比试验B1、B2和B3可知,聚乳酸在以水为溶剂的体系中的降解速度比在以甲醇为溶剂的体系中的降解速度更快;聚乳酸在前者的体系中的降解速度与在以甲醇和水为混合溶剂的体系中的降解速度相近。从试验B1和试验B5的比较,以及试验B2和试验B4的比较,都可以看出四氢呋喃的加入有利于加快聚乳酸的降解速度,原因可能是四氢呋喃起到助溶作用,使得反应原料在体系中均匀分布,接触、反应机会增加,从而加快反应进程。
(四)以不同高分子材料为底物进行的降解试验。
将3种牌号的PLA粒料(均购自TotalEnergies Corbion,牌号分别为LX175、LX530和L105)各15g,2种PLA制品(购自网络零售平台(淘宝网)店铺)碎片各10g,3种常见的可机械回收的耐用塑料(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯PET、聚丙烯PP和聚乙烯PE)(购自网络零售平台(淘宝网)店铺)各10g混合,混合塑料中包含1种聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯PET、1种聚丙烯PP、1种聚乙烯PE和5种聚乳酸PLA(图5的A)。向前述混合塑料体系中加入2.275g的磷酸二苯酯DPP(与聚乳酸PLA的质量比为0.035)和8g水,在160℃下反应1.5h后结束反应;将反应后的产物 中不溶于反应体系的固态物与可流动物质分离,分离得到的可流动物质(图5的B中所示的容器内乘装的物质)为降解产物。
对降解产物(图5的B所示的物质)进行1H NMR表征,发现降解产物为乳酸寡聚物和/或单体,测得平均分子量为220Da,平均聚合度为2.8;降解产物中未发现PET、PP和PE等聚合物及相应的降解寡聚物和/或单体。图5的C为分离得到的固态物,分别对不同的塑料进行DSC测试,并与进行降解处理前的相应的原料(PET、PP和PE的片材或粒料)的DSC测试结果进行比较,即得到图5的D、E和F。
通过DSC表征,可知PET、PP和PE这三种传统耐用塑料在经历过前述反应前后,熔点(Tm)基本不变:PET处理前熔点为247.7℃,处理后熔点为248.1℃(图5的D);PP处理前熔点为161.3℃,处理后熔点为162.0℃(图5的E);PE处理前熔点为129.5℃,处理后熔点为129.6℃(图5的F),
通过对混合塑料进行的降解试验可知,对含有传统耐用塑料和聚乳酸在内的混合塑料进行前述条件下(也即在水和特定有机非金属催化剂存在的条件下,例如DPP)的处理,不仅其中的可降解高分子材料如聚乳酸的降解未受影响,而且PET、PP和PE这些传统耐用塑料可以不受该处理的影响(PET、PP和PE的表观形貌未见明显变化(见图5的A与C对比)、熔点未明显变化(见图5的D、E和F))而较好地保持原始性能,后续还可以继续对传统耐用塑料PET、PP和PE进行进一步的机械回收,从而获得相应的质量较好的回收物。
DSC测试方法:通过差式扫描量热仪(Q2000,TA Instruments)对塑料的热性能进行表征。以PET为例,将称量后的样品置于样品盘中,在氮气氛围下加热到320℃,平衡5分钟以去除热历史,再以10℃/min的速度进行降温至20℃,平衡5分钟后,以同样的速度升温至320℃并记录数据。PP和PE升温至220℃。
(五)将购自TotalEnergies Corbion的牌号为LX175的PLA粒料(直径~3mm)各5g置于如下3种不同的水溶液中(溶液质量为5g),环境温度为80℃,在反应开始的1天和3天后分别取50mg溶液冻干,进行1H NMR测试。
(1)第一种水溶液为0.1M(mol/L)的HCl溶液,基本未测得水溶性物质,反应开始3天后体系为悬浊液,呈乳白色;
(2)第二种水溶液为溶有5wt%磷酸二苯酯DPP的水溶液,反应开始1天后测得溶液中含乳酸寡聚物和单体,平均分子量为385,平均聚合度为5.1,反应开始3天后,降解产物的平均分子量为108,平均聚合度为1.3,此时溶液呈澄清透明状;
(3)第三种水溶液为溶有5wt%磷酸二苯酯DPP的0.1M(mol/L)的HCl溶液,反应开始1天后测得溶液中含乳酸寡聚物和单体,平均分子量为167,平均聚合度为2.1,反应开始3天后呈澄清透明,降解产物的平均分子量为106,平均聚合度为1.3。
通过将聚乳酸PLA置于3种不同的水溶液进行试验的反应结果可知,一方面,单纯的HCl不能有效地催化PLA的降解;另一方面,聚乳酸在有水和有机非金属催化剂磷酸二苯酯DPP存在的条件下已经能够较快速地降解,加入额外的盐酸虽然在反应前期对降解有一定的加速作用,但是最终制备得到的降解产物的分子量和平均聚合度均相差不大。因此,聚乳酸可以在不含盐酸的条件下,仅仅在有水和有机非金属催化剂例如磷酸二苯酯DPP存在时,即可较快速地降解,实现较好的回收利用。
