Definitions

  • the invention relates to a catalyst system for the production of polyalkylene carbonates by co-, ter- and block copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide.
  • carbon dioxide can be converted to polymers containing carbonic acid ester groups by anionic polymerization with epoxides. These polymers are known as polyalkylene carbonates or as aliphatic polycarbonates.
  • Diethylzinc / phenoisystems are also known and have been described by Inoue et al. (Macromolekules, 4, 658, 1971; Macromolecules, 169, 69, 1973) were also examined.
  • Soga et al. also described zinc carboxylates, made from zinc oxide and various dicarboxylic acids with and without supporting inert metal oxides, as highly effective for the copolymerization of epoxides and carbon dioxide.
  • a number of dicarboxylic acids have been tested for the synthesis of this catalyst system. Only adipic acid and glutaric acid proved to be suitable in principle, the activities achieved being only slightly higher than in the systems mentioned above.
  • US Pat. No. 5,026,676 describes an improved process for the preparation of zinc carboxylates for the copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide.
  • a catalyst activity of approximately 22 grams of product per gram of catalyst used was achieved.
  • this turnover is not yet sufficient for a commercially viable application.
  • the catalyst systems mentioned still produce too many by-products, such as, for example, the cyclic monomer.
  • This cyclic monomer has a negative influence on the product properties. For example, it seriously lowers the glass point of the polyalkylene carbonate and thus changes certain processing properties and thus disadvantageously also possible applications.
  • the aim of the invention is to find a catalyst system for the co-, ter- and block copolymerization of one or more epoxides with carbon dioxide, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the object of the invention is to make the catalyst system so multifunctional that it is suitable for carrying out a copolymerization, a terpolymerization as well as for a block copolymerization of one or more epoxides with carbon dioxide. It is also an object of the invention to develop a suitable process for the preparation of this catalyst system, so that a high activity of the catalyst and thus economically sensible polymer conversions with high product purity and interesting property profile for a variety of application options can be achieved.
  • the catalyst system according to the invention consisting of an inorganic zinc compound which is brought into contact with a mixture of at least two dicarboxylic acids, leads to above-average yields of polymers with an excellent degree of purity.
  • the zinc compounds include, for example, zinc carbonate, zinc hydroxycarbonate, zinc oxide, zinc hydroxide, zinc sulfate and other divalent zinc compounds.
  • Zinc hydroxycarbonate, zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide are preferably used.
  • the dicarboxylic acid mixture consists of at least two dicarboxylic acids, which can be present aliphatic or aromatic or as a mixture thereof.
  • the dicarboxylic acids can be mixed with one another in any ratio, preferably combinations of three are to be used.
  • the aliphatic dicarboxylic acids from C 2 -C10 and the aromatic dicarboxylic acids phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, preferably isophthalic acid, are suitable.
  • Mellitic acid is also advantageous in small amounts.
  • a special effect with regard to the resulting product properties can also be achieved by adding small amounts of monocarboxylic acids.
  • Monocarboxylic acids of C -C-io, in particular those with an odd C number, can preferably be used for this.
  • a mixture of zinc oxide (> 99%) or another zinc compound mentioned above with a mixture of at least two finely ground ( ⁇ 15 ⁇ m) dicarboxylic acids are in a three-necked flask, the molar fraction of the zinc compound in this mixture always ⁇ 0.5 must be submitted.
  • the liquid monocarboxylic acids are slowly added via a dropping funnel.
  • the solvent used should form an azeotrope with water or be immiscible with it, since the water of reaction formed must be removed.
  • the three-necked flask is equipped with a stirrer, reflux cooling, water separator and gas inlet valve. The gas space is then flushed several times with nitrogen. The reaction mixture is stirred for 90 minutes at room temperature, then the temperature is raised to 53 ° C. and held for about 3 hours with vigorous stirring.
  • reaction temperatures between 15 ° C. and 80 ° C. and reaction times of up to 10 hours are possible.
  • the solid is filtered off and dried in a drying cabinet under vacuum at 120 ° C. for 12 hours.
  • the product is a fine white powder and can be stored in tightly closed containers for a long time. After a longer storage period, it is advisable to temper the catalyst again in a vacuum drying cabinet at 120 ° C. for 5 hours before use.
  • the catalyst and a suitable solvent, in which the resulting polymer advantageously dissolves are placed in a pressure reactor rinsed several times with carbon dioxide.
  • the solid catalyst can be metered in as a suspension with the solvent, for example via a lock, or it is filled in dryly before the solvent through a metering opening.
  • the epoxy is then charged.
  • the reaction mixture is saturated with carbon dioxide with stirring for 30 minutes. Then the reaction quickly brought to the appropriate polymerization temperature. If necessary, carbon dioxide must be replenished during the reaction.
  • the reaction mixture is cooled and let down, the catalyst is separated off mechanically or removed by washing with dilute sulfuric acid.
  • the resulting polymer is finely divided with a suitable precipitant, such as ethanol and dried.
  • the residual solvent content in the polymer must not exceed 5 ppm.
  • the mass of the resulting polymer is determined by weighing and expressed as the activity of gram of polymer per gram of catalyst, based on the mass of the catalyst used.
  • a carboxylic acid mixture consisting of 0.2 mol of succinic acid, 0.3 mol of adipic acid and 0.1 mol of mellitic acid was mixed intimately with zinc hydroxycarbonate and boiled in toluene under reflux. The temperature was kept at 65 ° C. and the reaction time was 6 hours. The catalyst was worked up as described in Example 1.
  • Propylene oxide and ethylene oxide were block copolymerized with carbon dioxide, the propylene oxide and 60% of the catalyst which corresponded to that of Example 5 being introduced.
  • the polymerization was carried out under usual conditions. After 3 hours, the ethylene oxide and the remainder of the catalyst were metered into the reactor under pressure. The reaction was complete after a total of 5.5 hours. 360 g of polymer were obtained. When using a total of 12.5 g of catalyst, this corresponds to a catalyst activity of 28.8 g per 1 g of polymer.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système catalyseur comprenant au moins deux acides dicarboxyliques pouvant être aliphatique ou aromatique ou un mélange des deux, qui sont mis en combinaison avec un sel de zinc inorganique bivalent. Utilisé dans le cadre de la copolymérisation, de la tripolymérisation et de la copolymérisation séquencée d'un ou de plusieurs époxydes avec du dioxyde de carbone de manière continue ou discontinue, ce système catalyseur permet d'obtenir des rendements importants, significatifs pour un usage commercial. Les polymères obtenus sont dans une large mesure exempts de produits secondaires et présentent un degré de pureté de 99 %.
