Description

[0001] IMPROVED MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF ESTERS OF ANHYDROSUGAR ALCOHOL [0002]

The present invention relates to a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester, and more particularly, to a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester by using an intermediate product of a sugar alcohol dehydration reaction, The present invention relates to a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester which is advantageous for mass production and commercialization because it is an economical process which improves the ester reaction rate and completeness and does not deteriorate the purity and yield even when the unreacted fatty acid is recovered by distillation and then reused.

Hydrogenated sugar (also referred to as " sugar alcohol ") refers to a compound obtained by adding hydrogen to the reducing end group of a saccharide, generally HOCH 2 (CHOH) n CH 2 OH (wherein n is an integer of 2 to 5 ), And classified into tetritol, pentitol, hexitol and heptitol (C 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively), depending on the number of carbon atoms. Among them, hexitol having six carbon atoms includes sorbitol, mannitol, iditol, galactitol and the like, and sorbitol and mannitol are particularly useful substances.

The dianhydrosugar alcohol (hereinafter referred to as anhydrous alcohol) has a diol form having two hydroxyl groups in the molecule and can be prepared by utilizing dehydration reaction of hexitol derived from starch (for example, Korean Patent No. 10- Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-906618). Since alcohol-free alcohol is an eco-friendly substance derived from renewable natural resources, there has been much interest for a long time and studies on the manufacturing method have been carried out. Among these alcohol-free alcohols, isosorbide prepared from sorbitol has the widest industrial application currently.

Such esters of anhydrosugar alcohols are used as various emulsifying agents, preservatives, lubricants, polymerization stabilizers, plasticizers, and the like used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foodstuffs, and the like.

The general process for the production of anhydrosugar alcohol esters is based on the direct ester reaction between anhydrosugar alcohol and carboxylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. As an acid catalyst, it is common to use a low-cost inorganic acid having good reactivity, but a technique of producing an ester improved in color using a solid acid or an acidic ion-exchange resin has also been reported (for example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0004382 ).

Another aspect of improving the process for the production of anhydrous alcohol esters is to develop an economical process with reduced production costs. Reducing production costs will lead to market expansion of products using environmentally friendly materials, which will ultimately lead to the development of carbon abatement and sustainable materials. However, if it is proved that there is no deterioration of physical properties even if the raw material is changed at this time, the market competitiveness can be secured. The manufacturing process that has been developed to date is still inferior in terms of market competitiveness due to high raw material costs and high processing costs.

Therefore, there is a continuing need for studies on a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester which is economical and has excellent physical properties.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester, which comprises using an intermediate product of a sugar alcohol dehydration reaction, without deteriorating physical properties of an alcohol-free alcohol ester as an end product and increasing an ester reaction rate and integrity using an excess of fatty acid , Unreacted fatty acid is an economical process which does not deteriorate purity and yield even when it is recovered by distillation and then reused, thereby providing a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester which is advantageous for mass production and commercialization.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a process for producing an alcohol-free alcohol, comprising the steps of: (1) dehydrating a sugar alcohol to obtain an intermediate product of an alcohol- (2) synthesizing an alcohol-free alcohol ester by esterifying an intermediate product of the reaction for producing an alcohol-free alcohol obtained in the step (1) above with an excess of carboxylic acid; (3) neutralizing a mixture comprising the alcohol-free alcohol ester and the unreacted carboxylic acid obtained as a result of the step (2), with a basic substance; And (4) distilling the neutralized mixture containing the alcohol-free alcohol ester and the unreacted carboxylic acid obtained as a result of the step (3), and recovering the unreacted carboxylic acid therefrom, to provide.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an anhydrosugar alcohol ester which is produced by the above method.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resin processing additive comprising an anhydrosugar alcohol ester produced by the above method.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an article comprising the resinous processing additive.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resin processed product comprising an anhydrosugar alcohol ester produced by the above method.

According to the process for producing the alcohol-free alcohol ester of the present invention, the intermediate product of the sugar alcohol dehydration reaction is used, and the physical properties of the alcohol-free alcohol ester as the final object are not lowered, the ester reaction rate and completeness are increased by using the excess fatty acid, Unreacted fatty acids are advantageous for mass production and commercialization of alcohol-free alcohol esters because they have an economical efficiency in that purity and yield are not lowered even after being recovered by distillation and then reused.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

The method for producing an alcohol-free alcohol ester of the present invention comprises a step of dehydrating a sugar alcohol to obtain an intermediate product of the alcohol-free alcohol production reaction (step (1)).

Anhydrous alcohol is any substance obtained by removing one or more water molecules from a compound obtained by adding hydrogen to a reducing end group of a saccharide, generally referred to as hydrogenated sugar or sugar alcohol .

The intermediate product of the above alcohol-free alcohol production reaction means one or more substances or mixtures thereof added or produced in the dehydration reaction, which is a production step of anhydrous alcohol. More specifically, it means a sugar alcohol as raw material, an alcoholic alcohol having one molecule removed from water molecule, or an imidazole alcohol having two water molecules removed, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

The sugar alcohol (hydrogenated sugar) generally has the formula HOCH 2 (CHOH) n CH 2 OH (wherein n is an integer of 2 to 5), and depending on the number of carbon atoms, tetritol, pentitol, hexitol and heptitol (4, 5, 6 and 7 carbon atoms, respectively).

In addition, the water content of the intermediate product in the alcohol-free alcohol producing reaction may be, for example, 1.5 to 30 wt%, more preferably 1.5 to 10 wt%, and even more preferably 1.5 to 5 wt%. Water has a lower water content because it causes a reverse reaction to slow the reaction and lower the reaction efficiency. However, if the water content of the intermediate product of the alcohol-free alcohol production reaction is lower than 1.5% by weight, the economical efficiency of the process becomes low.

The intermediate product of the alcohol-free alcohol production reaction may include 10 to 40% by weight, more preferably 15 to 35% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the solid content. If the content of dianhydrosugar alcohol in the intermediate product of the alcohol-free alcohol production reaction is higher than the above range, the economical efficiency may be lowered, and if it is less than this range, the alcohol content of the diol alcohol may be relatively increased, There may be a problem of lowering.
