ジハロ芳香族化合物としてはo-ジハロベンゼン、m-ジハロベンゼン、p-ジハロベンゼン、ジハロトルエン、ジハロナフタレン、メトキシ-ジハロベンゼン、ジハロビフェニル、ジハロ安息香酸、ジハロジフェニルエーテル、ジハロジフェニルスルホン、ジハロジフェニルスルホキシド、ジハロジフェニルケトン等が挙げられ、ハロゲン原子は、フッ素、塩素、臭素、及びヨウ素の各原子を指し、ジハロ芳香族化合物における2個のハロゲン原子は、同じでも異なっていてもよい。
重合工程は、硫黄源とジハロ芳香族化合粒とを重合反応させ、PASを重合する工程である。重合工程は、前段重合工程と後段重合工程の2つの工程を含む。各工程について以下に説明する。
前段重合工程は、混合物を加熱して重合反応を開始させ、ジハロ芳香族化合物の転化率が50%以上のプレポリマーを生成させる工程である。
後段重合工程は、後述するアルカリ添加工程及び濃縮工程を経た混合物を加熱して重合反応を継続する工程である。
アルカリ添加工程は、硫黄源1モル当たりアルカリ金属水酸化物が等モル以上となるように、前段重合工程を経た混合物にアルカリ金属水酸化物を添加する工程である。
濃縮工程は、前段重合工程を経た混合物中の有機アミド溶媒の少なくとも一部及び/又は水の少なくとも一部を除去する工程である。有機アミド溶媒の少なくとも一部及び/又は水の少なくとも一部を除去する方法としては、特に限定されず、公知の方法を用いることができ、例えば、加熱、減圧(真空化を含む。)、これらの組み合わせ等が挙げられる。
本発明では、重合反応開始後のPAS重合反応液(以下、単に「PAS重合反応液」ということがある。)において有機アミド溶媒中で硫黄源とジハロ芳香族化合物とを重合させるPASの製造方法において副生する副生成物が抑えられている。
ここでの副生成物とは、CPMABAを指す。
[CPMABAの生成量]
PAS重合反応液中の硫黄源に対するCPMABAの生成量の下限値は0μg/mmolであることが好ましいが、100μg/mmol程度を下限値としてもよい。
後処理工程は、重合工程で得られたスラリーから不要な成分を除去し、ポリアリーレンスルフィドを得る工程である。本発明のPASの製造方法における後処理工程は、PASの製造において通常用いられる工程であれば特に限定されない。
本発明のPASの製造方法によれば、副生成物の生成が抑制され、不純物が少ない高品質のPASを得ることができる。本発明の製造方法によって得られるPASとしては、平均粒径が、通常10~5000μm、好ましくは30~4000μm、より好ましくは50~3000μmであり、かつ、温度310℃、せん断速度1216sec-1で測定した溶融粘度が、通常0.1~150Pa・s、好ましくは0.5~130Pa・s、より好ましくは1~100Pa・s、更に好ましくは5~80Pa・sであることにより取扱い性・流動性に優れ、また不純物成分の少ないPASを高収率で得ることができる。なお、PASの溶融粘度は、乾燥ポリマー約20gを用いてキャピログラフを使用して、所定の温度及びせん断速度条件で測定することができる。
1.仕込み工程:
チタン製1リットルオートクレーブ(反応缶)に、硫黄源として水硫化ナトリウム(NaSH)水溶液(ヨージメトリー法による濃度が62.55質量%、中和滴定法による濃度が61.09質量%)を44.90g(0.501モル、ただし硫化ナトリウム(Na2S)を0.011モル含む)、及び水酸化ナトリウム(NaOH)水溶液(濃度が73.30質量%)を22.85g(0.419モル)、及びN-メチル-ピロリドン(NMP)を500.6g投入した。ついで反応缶に、NaOH(濃度が97質量%)を1.88g(0.046モル)、及び水(H2O)を4.57g(0.254モル)、及びp-ジクロロベンゼン(pDCB)を77.26g(0.526モル)を投入した。この時点で反応缶内の組成比は、投入された硫黄源をSとした場合、NMP/Sが1000g/モル、H2O/Sが4.0モル/モル、NaOH/Sが0.950モル/モル、pDCB/Sが1.050モル/モルとなった。
反応缶に備え付けた撹拌機を回転して仕込み混合物を撹拌しながら、温度208℃~216℃まで18分かけて連続的に昇温し、更に260℃まで126分かけて連続的に昇温しながら加熱し反応させた。この時点でのpDCBの転化率は、89%であった。
一旦、反応缶を冷却し開放して、純度97質量%の顆粒状NaOH2.06g(0.05モル)を投入し十分に撹拌した。この時点で反応缶内のNaOH/Sは1.050モル/モルとなった。
反応缶内の混合物を真空下で80℃に加熱して、NMP450.5g、水63.13g、及びpDCB8.46gを留去した。この時点で反応缶内の組成比は、NMP/Sが100g/モル、H2O/Sが0.0モル/モル、NaOH/Sが1.050モル/モル、pDCB/Sが0.935モル/モルとなった。
反応缶にpDCBを4.78g(0.032モル)投入した。この時点で反応缶内のpDCB/Sは1.000モル/モルとなった。混合物を撹拌しながら、温度260℃で60分加熱し反応させた。その後、室温まで冷却した。この時点でのpDCBの転化率は、100%であった。
反応混合物10gを100gの水中へ分散し、十分に撹拌し、ガラスフィルターでろ過した。ろ過された混合物を再び100gの水中へ分散し、十分に撹拌し、ガラスフィルターでろ過した。この操作を3回繰り返し、ろ過された混合物を真空下で80℃に加熱し、乾燥して粉体状のポリマーを得た。
仕込み工程で、NaOH/Sを1.050モル/モルとし、アルカリ添加工程におけるNaOH添加を行わなかった以外は、実施例1と同様にして、前段重合工程を行った。前段重合終了時点でのpDCBの転化率は86.6%であり、濃縮工程後のpDCB/Sは0.909モ/モルとなり、後段重合工程で反応缶にpDCBを6.64g(0.045モル)投入した以外は、実施例1と同様にして、濃縮工程、後段重合工程、洗浄乾燥工程を行った。実施例1と同様に、結果を表1に示す。
仕込み工程、前段重合工程は比較例1と同様にして行った。続くアルカリ添加工程、濃縮工程は行わず、後段重合工程にて水添加を行い、H2O/Sを7.0モル/モルとして、265℃で150分加熱し反応させた。後段重合工程における硫黄源に対する反応混合物の重量(反応混合物重量/S)と到達した最高反応圧力を表1に示す。
仕込み工程において、NMP/Sを300g/モル、H2O/Sを1.4モル/モル、NaOH/Sを1.08モル/モル、pDCB/Sを1.060モル/モルとした以外は、比較例2と同様にして、前段重合工程を行った。但し、仕込み工程の前処理としてNaSHとNaOHの水溶液に由来する水を除去するため水抜き工程を行った。続くアルカリ添加工程、濃縮工程は比較例2と同様に行わず、後段重合工程にて水添加を行い、H2O/Sを2.1モル/モルとして、比較例2と同様に加熱し反応させた。比較例2と同様に、結果を表1に示す。
