The polyacrylic synthetic method of a kind of Ultra-low molecular weight
Technical field
The invention belongs to macromolecular material production technical field, particularly one utilizes metal catalytic oxidation reduction system to synthesize the polyacrylic method of Ultra-low molecular weight.
Background technology
One of fine chemicals that polyacrylic acid (sodium) is is extensively researched and developed as recent domestic, is applied to all conglomeraties such as food, weaving, papermaking, water treatment, petrochemical complex.The relative molecular mass of polyacrylic acid (sodium) determines its application category, and the main dispersion agent being used as water treatment, pigment etc. of molecular weight 1000 ~ 5000, molecular weight is 10
4~ 10
6main be used as thickening material, stablizer etc., molecular weight is higher than 10
6then for flocculation agent, thickening material etc.Performance and its molecular weight and the arrangement etc. thereof of polyacrylic acid (sodium) have close relationship, and as water conditioner, the molecular weight of polyacrylic acid (sodium) is less, distribution is narrower to have research both domestic and external to confirm, its scale-inhibiting properties is stronger.And polyacrylic acid (sodium) molecular weight that obtains of the domestic radical polymerization processes for preparing generally adopted is substantially all more than 2000 at present, molecular weight is high, distributes wide, and product performance do not reach best.Therefore develop molecular weight lower than 1000 the polyacrylic preparation technology of Ultra-low molecular weight, very meaningful to the performance heightening currently available products.The polyacrylic acid of Ultra-low molecular weight in water as the polyelectrolyte of anionic, can adsorb by suspended particles, suspended particles surface is made to form electrostatic double layer, under the effect of static charge, particle mutually repels and makes particle suspended dispersed in water, also cover the active site of suspended particles surface continued growth simultaneously thus prevent particle growth, can also crystals be embedded and suppress crystal nucleation.
The people that how to wait quietly of Beijing Forestry University take Potassium Persulphate as initiator, Virahol is that to have synthesized a series of viscosity-average molecular weight be the sodium polyacrylate of 500 ~ 10000 to chain-transfer agent, the Gao Fengqin of Northwestern Polytechnical University adopt Dynamic Water solution polymerization process prepared a series of molecular weight 600 ~ 7000 sodium polyacrylate, this kind of traditional radical polymerization mode adopts persulphate to make initiator, and add the polyacrylic acid (sodium) that alcohols synthesizes as chain-transfer agent and there is initiator, chain-transfer agent consumption is large and the problem such as cannot to remove completely, it causes slowly, fast growth, the polyreaction that nature of of fast termination is difficult to control, make the difficulty preparing Ultra-low molecular weight and acrylate with narrow molecular weight distribution (sodium) very large.
The people such as the Niu Lei of Central South University take ammonium persulphate as initiator, sodium bisulfite has prepared the sodium polyacrylate that viscosity-average molecular weight is 2000 ~ 3000 for chain-transfer agent, the Li Shuqin of Xiangfan University take hydrogen peroxide as initiator, sodium bisulfite is chain-transfer agent, under ultrasonic assistant, has prepared the sodium polyacrylate that relative molecular weight is 2000 ~ 3000, and this traditional redox system also exists, and reductive agent add-on is more, low temperature is put and easily occurred muddiness or separate out the problems such as inorganic salt.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to utilize interpolation metal to carry out the polyacrylic method of catalytic oxidation-reduction system synthesis Ultra-low molecular weight.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: take vinylformic acid as raw material, and under the acting in conjunction of initiator and catalyzer, polymerization generates the polyacrylic acid of Ultra-low molecular weight.
The polyacrylic synthetic method of a kind of Ultra-low molecular weight of the present invention, the method comprises the steps: reflux condensing tube is being housed, agitator, catalyzer and deionized water is added in the reactor of thermometer, catalyzer accounts for total amount 0.002wt% ~ 0.01wt%, open and stir, and make warming-in-water be heated to 70 ~ 95 DEG C, start to drip vinylformic acid and initiator, vinylformic acid accounts for the 30wt% ~ 40wt% of total amount, initiator accounts for the 0.15wt% ~ 0.8wt% of total amount, time for adding 2 ~ 4hr, reaction is simultaneously by dripping mode hierarchy of control pH=5 ~ 7 of alkali lye, obtain number-average molecular weight after insulation 1 ~ 4hr after terminating reaction and be less than 1000, the Ultra-low molecular weight polyacrylic acid that molecular weight distribution index is less than 1.5.
Described catalyzer is one or more in nano level elemental silver, Silver Nitrate, Silver monoacetate, Cobaltous diacetate, and content accounts for total amount 0.002wt% ~ 0.01wt%.
Described initiator is one or more in hydrogen peroxide, ammonium persulphate, Sodium Persulfate and Potassium Persulphate, and initiator accounts for the 0.15wt% ~ 0.8wt% of total amount.
Described alkali lye is the one in the sodium hydroxide of 1 ~ 10mol/L, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate solution.
Synthetic method initiator amount of the present invention is low, can not introduce be difficult to reclaim alcohols and inorganic salts, the finished product foreign matter content is extremely low, and monomer conversion is high, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution low, the dispersion agent of excellent property can be obtained.
