Description

Polymerization process and device of carbon dioxide-based polycarbonate copolymer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high molecular polymer synthesis, in particular to a polymerization process and a polymerization device of a carbon dioxide-based polycarbonate copolymer.
Background
The massive use of fossil energy has prompted the development of the global industry, and also has led to serious greenhouse effects due to increased carbon dioxide emissions. The development and application of the carbon dioxide-based polycarbonate synthesized by taking carbon dioxide as a raw material greatly relieves the environmental pollution problem and the greenhouse effect caused by the existence of a large amount of carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide-based polycarbonate is polymerized from carbon dioxide and a comonomer comprising one or more of an epoxy compound (e.g., propylene oxide, cyclohexane oxide, epichlorohydrin), phthalic anhydride, and the like.
CN113929890a and CN111333825A disclose the preparation of carbon dioxide based polycarbonate tetrablock copolymers, both using one pot process, however, at commercial scale up this process results in lower quality of carbon dioxide embedded in the polymer segments, meaning lower amounts of carbonate segments and more significant changes as the degree of scale up is greater.
CN100516115C discloses a process for producing polycarbonate, which uses carbon dioxide and epoxy compound as main raw materials, and makes polymerization reaction under the action of catalyst, wherein the reaction is performed by using a loop reactor, and the main equipment comprises the loop reactor, a condenser, a gas-liquid separator, a high-pressure carbon dioxide buffer tank, a carbon dioxide compressor, a mixing kettle and a high-pressure metering pump. The process avoids the problem that the chain link amount of the carbonic ester becomes low during the amplification to a certain extent, but the energy consumption is increased because a large amount of unreacted carbon dioxide and propylene oxide mixed gas needs to flow out of the upper part of the loop reactor and be condensed and recovered by a condenser; in addition, since propylene oxide in the mixture is not completely separated, it is unavoidable that propylene oxide is still present in the recovered carbon dioxide, and when the recovered carbon dioxide is compressed again by a compressor, safety risks are increased.
CN111804218A discloses a process and equipment for producing carbon dioxide-based polycarbonate, in which a straight tube reactor is adopted as a main reactor, and a recovered carbon dioxide adding device and a primary mixture adding device are connected to the bottom of the straight tube reactor, and because carbon dioxide needs to be recovered through a condensation system, the energy consumption is increased, the recovered carbon dioxide is still mixed with propylene oxide, and the safety risk is increased when the recovered carbon dioxide is pumped back again.
CN100569830C discloses a method and apparatus for preparing aliphatic polycarbonate, wherein the polymerization reaction apparatus adopts a jacketed reaction kettle, and after the amplification of the process apparatus, the reaction temperature time required for the former stage to rise is prolonged, the product quality is reduced, the temperature in the later stage polymerization reaction process is not easy to control, and the temperature is easy to fly.
