Description

The method for preparing high purity terephthalic acid's diester from the polyethyleneterephthalate waste material
Technical field
The relevant a kind of polyester waste material from recovery of the present invention prepares bis--terephthalate's method; Especially relevant a kind of from the polyester waste material that reclaims; As catalyst, prepare the method for high purity terephthalic acid's two ester plasticizers with oxalate through alcoholysis, transesterification reaction etc.
Background technology
The vibrin of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) is widely used in beverage container, packing film and spins fine industry owing to having good soffening and blowing property.Yet use a large amount of waste materials of back generation via beverage container, film and the fiber of processing, or adding the secondary material of generation in man-hour all can bring serious impact to global environment.So various recovery method was arranged in the past like, the recovery method of the recovery of secondary material, the recovery of physics and chemistry.
The recovery of polyester waste material is via the renewable use of physics method, as pulverizing or the fine blend composition that comes as processed goods is spun in extrusion granulation or reel off raw silk from cocoons; But the product through this path institute reclaiming is not high to the value added of industry utilization.Though quite a lot of for polyester waste material chemical recovery Study on Technology in recent years, majority is applied in polyester waste material and divalent alcohol after the high temperature alcoholysis reaction, secondary pan feeding copolymerization resulting polyester resin.As mentioning among the JP2002-60474A, pet waste after the interpolation divalent alcohol carries out alcoholysis reaction, obtains unsaturated polyester resin with the MALEIC ANHYDRIDE copolymerization in the presence of titanium catalyst.But the stripping technique of terepthaloyl moietie (EG) among the not mentioned PET in this patent documentation, so that make and be restricted in the practical application because of containing excessive EG in the vibrin composition that is obtained.JP2001-316327A then mentions with pet waste and divalent alcohol, the compound of titaniferous, tin or zinc as the decomposition reaction catalyst in the presence of, obtain oligomer ester through alcoholysis reaction.In this reaction in order will the divalent alcohol of surplus to be extracted, so must use the trichloromethane of severe toxicity; And be restricted firmly in the use partially because of material according to the oligomer ester of this method manufacturing and then with the prepared polyurethane of di-isocyanate reaction.
After the recovery technology of above-mentioned polyester waste material all relates to alcoholysis reaction, terepthaloyl moietie and the resulting conjugated polyester resin of other divalent alcohol copolymerizations in the system.The separation method that does not all relate to terepthaloyl moietie in the literary composition is so that regenerate still has the character of polyester waste material on rerum natura.It is not satisfactory on the industry purposes after so above-mentioned pet waste is handled again.
In view of the above, propose in addition polyester waste material is added aliphatics unit alcohol reaction regeneration and form bis--terephthalate's method with it subsequently via alcoholysis, this bis--terephthalate is the softening agent of economically valuable.But if be used in the regeneration softening agent and during with industry on the other hand, the terepthaloyl moietie that then faces in the system must remove by pet waste from system, it is good and the softening agent goods of industry utilization can be provided just to obtain purity.Terephthalic acid di-isooctyl (DOTP) is a kind of broad-spectrum non-toxic plasticizer, so because good electric wire and the computer winding displacement of widely applying at electrical equipment of its resistive performance.In addition, because the heat-resistant quality of DOTP is good, processing characteristics is excellent, also be widely used in PVC signature the prolonging film product of processing.The DOTP that sees through the particular process sequence manufacturing via the polyester waste material high method of low-cost economic worth of can yet be regarded as.
So CN1135479A discloses a kind of method that is prepared bis--terephthalate's softening agent by polyester waste material and monohydroxy-alcohol.Above-mentioned raw materials is in the presence of catalyst, and with one section alcoholysis, transesterification reaction method, continuously constant speed adds the terepthaloyl moietie trapping agent in reaction system, and terepthaloyl moietie is separated from reaction system very soon.But when in fact operating, because the fusing point of PET is quite high, if carry out transesterification reaction with the lower monohydroxy-alcohol of boiling point at normal pressure and PET, then the reaction times is tediously long and efficient is poor.In addition, lacking a kind of method of fast monitored reaction end in the reaction and cause its crude ester product acid value and form and aspect higher, is to cause complicated procedures such as processing procedure must neutralize at last, washing, dealcoholysis, dehydration, press filtration, efficient difference and generation great amount of wastewater.
Moreover CN1073164A discloses and a kind ofly prepares the method and apparatus of DOTP with pet waste, and the alcoholysis reaction of PET and 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol produces the terepthaloyl moietie that can mix with 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol, through transferring separator mutually terepthaloyl moietie is separated.Because terepthaloyl moietie boiling point (197 ℃) is little with 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol boiling point (185 ℃) gap, is that the glycol recovery rate is not high through the actually operating result, the transformation efficiency of DOTP is on the low side; And reaction process need be used alkali lye neutralization, washing, dehydration, and processing procedure is loaded down with trivial details and efficient is on the low side.
JP2000-256274A then discloses a kind of method of making lubricating oil and plasticizer with polyester waste material.Pet waste and excessive unit alcohol 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol carry out through alcoholysis reaction and transesterification reaction in the presence of catalyst simultaneously.In the processing procedure, distilled unit alcohol separates with terepthaloyl moietie fractionation by distillation pipe, and upper strata liquid 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol then continues to pass back into reactive system and continues reaction.In fact; 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol and terepthaloyl moietie are the mixed solution that mixes; Also can't unit alcohol be separated with terepthaloyl moietie fully through easy still tube device; Get into the participation reaction again of reaction system so that a spot of terepthaloyl moietie refluxes with upper strata liquid 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol, cause the reaction times long, bis--terephthalate's transformation efficiency is on the low side.
The US5319128 explanation uses polyester waste material to decompose and bis--terephthalate's method is made in transesterify.Terephthalic polyester resin and unit alcohol carry out alcoholysis and transesterification reaction, in Dean & Stark water-and-oil separator, insert in advance under water and the unit alcohol, continue to deviate from divalent alcohol and obtain the bis--terephthalate.Though this method can obtain the diester based article of high ingredient, the huge water-and-oil separator equipment of palpus; And goods must be through water wash procedures; The form and aspect that do not relate to goods in this patent documentation are so commercially practical property is not high.

Embodiment
Main purpose of the present invention be by pet waste make purity be higher than 94.0% and form and aspect be lower than the method for bis--terephthalate's softening agent of APHA 25.Further specify the present invention and improve the bis--terephthalate of pet waste production in the past softening agent, terepthaloyl moietie remains in the higher problem of system, simplifies that prior art must neutralize, washes, dehydration, filtering problem.Its solution is to make pet waste and aliphatics unit alcohol in the presence of specific catalyst, carries out alcoholysis reaction, transesterification reaction, purifying procedure.The inventive method in after state more and explain detailedly.
Starting raw material pet waste used in the present invention means the PET of fragment that mineral water or soda pop bottle produce during fabrication or recovery, packaging film or protective membrane, the spinning of fiber industry and the outer product of specification of producing PET of panel, wherein is preferably bottle fragment and panel protective membrane.This pet waste can without clean or the scrubbing program promptly as the raw material of present method, though impurity can exert an influence to processing procedure and products appearance, can solve this problem via the compensation way of purifying procedure.
The equipment that carries out the inventive method can use single reaction vessel or connect 2 or 3 reactor drums assemblings form; If use the situation of a plurality of reactor drums; These reactor drums may not all must be high-pressure reactor, can bear pressure>5kg/cm as long as wherein carry out the reactor drum of alcoholysis 2Ability get final product; These reactor drums are provided with condensing surface, measurable control inflow steam or add switching arrangement, the water-and-oil separator of water speed; This water-and-oil separator can make the upper strata liquid in the reaction reflux to get into reactor drum and continue reaction, is collected in the storage tank redistillation through the water of collecting subnatant and ethylene glycol solution through the underflow of water-and-oil separator and makes with extra care.
Aliphatics unit alcohol as with the pet waste reaction can be C 6-C 10Straight chain or difference alkanol, as n-hexyl alcohol, enanthol, heptan-2-alcohol, heptan-3-alcohol, 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol, n-Octanol, isooctyl alcohol, nonyl alcohol, isononyl alcohol, nonylcarbinol, isodecyl alcohol etc., it is a kind of that these alkanols can use separately, two or more uses also capable of being combined.This alkanol better uses C 7-C 10Alkanol, better be C 8-C 10Alkanol.
For impelling transesterification reaction to carry out smoothly, it is excessive that this aliphatics unit alcohol is necessary for respect to the formed reaction mixture of pet waste.This element alcohol is not ear ratio of 2.2-5.0/1 with the ratio of PET (molecular weight calculates in the monomer structure unit), and more suitable is not ear ratio of 2.6-3.5/1.Adding device alcohol of the present invention is regardless of any form in reactive system, can one section interpolation, segmentation add, and more suitable is one section interpolation.
Characteristics of the present invention are to use specific catalyst in the alcoholysis reaction section, the usefulness of this catalyst must can continue to the transesterification reaction section so that processing procedure last; And can access characteristic of the same colour mutually good, that bis--terephthalate's transformation efficiency is high.This catalyst composition is the oxalate compound, like magnesium oxalate, tin oxalate, zinc oxalate, antimony oxalate, manganous oxalate etc.
Used catalyst composition among the present invention except oxalate, still can contain other cocatalysts, for example acetate such as zinc acetate, tin acetate, magnesium acetate, calcium acetate, manganese acetate, antimony acetate; Tin compounds such as dibutyltin diacetate, dibutyl tin laurate, dibutyltin oxide, monobutyltin oxide; Titanic acid ester cocatalysts such as tetra isopropyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate ester.Used catalyst among the present invention can use the oxalate compound separately, and oxalate also can use one or more.Moreover, if also with above-mentioned cocatalyst, a kind of or several cocatalysts then also capable of being combined.Among the present invention, the preferable catalyst composition that is combined as oxalate compound and titanic acid ester and usefulness.Its addition out of the ordinary is the 0.02-1.0% weight with respect to weight polyester, and the addition that is more suitable for is a 0.05-0.3% weight.
In the method for the present invention, alcoholysis reaction ties up under the 200-250 ℃ of temperature condition, better at 210-240 ℃, better under 230-240 ℃ temperature, carries out.If alcoholysis reaction is lower than 200 ℃ temperature of its lower limit, then alcoholysis speed is crossed slow and incomplete; If alcoholysis reaction is higher than the temperature of 250 ℃ of its upper limits, then alcohol easy inferior solution in unit causes side reaction to produce.The alcoholysis reaction section is pressed greater than 2.0kg/cm at still at least 2Carry out under the gauge pressure, more fortunately 3.0-8.0kg/cm 2Carry out under the gauge pressure; The pressure generation type can the nitrogen pressure or the nature hoisting way of heating, and more suitable is with the nitrogen pressure mode.Alcoholysis was carried out about 30-300 of time minute, was preferably 120-180 minute.If the reaction times is less than 30 minutes, then possibly cause PET alcoholysis degree not enough; If more than 300 minutes, then possibly cause the terepthaloyl moietie generation reversed reaction regenerative PET oligomer that produces after the alcoholysis.
Another notable feature of the present invention is in the presence of above-mentioned oxalate catalyst, can promote the transesterification reaction acceleration and terepthaloyl moietie transesterify in the PET oligomer is come out.Transesterification reaction can be carried out in above-mentioned alcoholysis reaction still, also can in another transesterification reactor, carry out, and can not produce detrimentally affect.For the terepthaloyl moietie of thorough separating reaction system to improve bis--terephthalate's purity; Be provided with a water-and-oil separator in transesterification reactor; Be collected in storage tank so that the aqueous glycol solution that continues to deviate from is discharged via the water-and-oil separator bottom, unit alcohol then passes back into reaction kettle by water-and-oil separator upper strata liquid and continues to participate in reaction.The transesterification reaction stage must continue autoreaction system and the middle mutually stripping terepthaloyl moietie of unit alcohol with phase solvent, and more suitable phase solvent is a water.Phase solvent water adds the kenel of system and is regardless of, and can be liquid phase, steam and solid-state, and more suitable is the water and the steam of liquid phase, better is superheated vapour.The amount that water or water vapor import transesterification reactor is:
X≥40*1/Y
(wherein X is a not ear number of the water that added or steam; Y is a not ear ratio of unit alcohol/PET).
Phase solvent water or water vapor constantly added the time of transesterification reactor from 2-10 hour, were preferably 3-8 hour, better were 4-7 hour; Be lower than this time scope and may make transesterification reaction incomplete, cause prepared bis--terephthalate's softening agent purity on the low side; Be higher than this time scope then efficient is on the low side and waste energy.Transesterification reaction temperature is controlled at 170-240 ℃ usually, but under 200-220 ℃ of condition, transesterification reaction efficient is preferable so better.Transesterification reaction pressure can carry out in 760 to 200mmHg pressure, and preferable mode is the decompression reaction.Vacuum tightness is from the 200-700 mmhg, and vacuum tightness is that 400-660 mmhg scope is carried out more fortunately.Reversed reaction possibly take place and make goods purity on the low side in vacuum tightness<200 mmhg; Then transesterification reaction efficient is on the low side for vacuum tightness>700 mmhg, and the reaction times is long.In order to judge the transesterification reaction terminal point, must be by the ethylene glycol solution of phase solvent stripping by fast monitored, the method for fast monitored transesterification reaction terminal point is for utilizing refractometer among the present invention; When ethylene glycol solution records specific refractory power less than 1.3334/25 ℃ through refractometer, during better less than 1.3330/25 ℃, then be regarded as having reached reaction end.The terepthaloyl moietie content of the aqueous glycol solution of specific refractory power in above-mentioned scope is less than 0.1% weight.
Another feature of the present invention is the thick ester articles in above-mentioned transesterification reaction, obtains the goods that a purity is high, form and aspect are good, acid value is low via the purifying processing procedure.This purifying processing procedure can be in above-mentioned transesterification reactor or is connect a distillation tower in addition or in thin-film evaporator, evaporate purifying.The purifying processing procedure continues to carry out in vacuum tightness<2 mmhg and temperature<240 ℃; If vacuum tightness>2 mmhg, it is slow then to reclaim speed; Temperature>240 ℃, then bis--terephthalate Yin Gaowen inferior solution causes goods form and aspect variation, acid value to raise, and processing characteristics is not good.
Characteristic of the present invention is to use pet waste and unit alcohol, in the presence of a specific catalyst, via alcoholysis reaction, transesterification reaction, purifying procedure, can obtain bis--terephthalate's softening agent goods of a high purity, low form and aspect, low acid value.Moreover present method is because of purified processing procedure, so the pet waste that uses is not defined as the spinning of clean bottle fragment, packaging film, protective membrane or fiber industry, greatly reduces washes and produces.Its result makes the renewable recovery of pet waste, the impact of reaching resource-savingization, green productization and reducing environmental pollution.
The present invention will explain detailedly with the following example, and only these embodiment are merely illustration purpose, but not in order to limit scope of the present invention.
