Embodiment
Preparing by method for solid phase polymerization in the method for modified polycarbonate resin, should before solid state polymerization, make the non-crystalline state modified polycarbonate carry out crystallization in addition, thereby improve the fusing point of non-crystalline state modified polycarbonate and prevent modified polycarbonate fusion in solid state polymerization processes.
In an embodiment of the invention, spray crystallization and solid state polymerization can carry out in the described solid state polymerization reactor of Fig. 1 simultaneously.In yet another embodiment of the present invention, spray crystallization and solid state polymerization carry out in succession.Above-mentioned non-crystalline state modified polycarbonate can be the polycarbonate of ester group or siloxanes modification.
A kind of reinforcement method for solid phase polymerization is described now.
At first, the non-crystalline state modified polycarbonate is dissolved in the solvent.The non-crystalline state modified polycarbonate can pass through the transesterification reaction preparation of interfacial polymerization, dialkyl group (aryl) carbonic ether and aromatic dihydroxy compound.
The solvent that is used to prepare modified polycarbonate solution can be the mixture of methylene dichloride, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran (THF), meta-cresol (metacrezole), hexanaphthene, diox, dimethyl aldehyde (dimethylaldehyde), pyridine or above-mentioned solvent.
The concentration of final modified polycarbonate solution is 5.0~50.0 weight %, preferred 10.0~30.0 weight %.If the concentration of modified polycarbonate solution is less than 5.0 weight %, the degree of crystallinity of the modified polycarbonate of preparation is too high so that can not prepare high-molecular weight modified polycarbonate resin and needs and reclaim a large amount of solvents.On the contrary, if the concentration of modified polycarbonate solution greater than 50.0 weight %, then too high the so that modified polycarbonate solution of the viscosity of modified polycarbonate solution can not be sprayed well.
Then, the modified polycarbonate solution that makes is transferred to solid state polymerization reactor and in solid state polymerization reactor, sprays by nozzle.At this moment, modified polycarbonate solution can be sprayed through pressure nozzle or air-blast atomizer.If the use air-blast atomizer injects compressed carrier gas separately.
During the applying pressure nozzle, injection pressure is 2.0 to 51.0kgf/.If spray pressure is less than 2.0kgf/, when the modified polycarbonate solution spray, the inlet of pressure nozzle blocks easily.On the contrary, if injection pressure greater than 51.0kgf/, then Pen Wu modified polycarbonate solution is excessive, causes part solution not evaporate and excessive solvent is retained in the subsequent process.
When using air-blast atomizer, the injection speed of pressurized gas is 200~800L/ hour, preferred 300~600L/ hour.If the injection speed of pressurized gas is less than 200L/ hour, unvaporized and quantity that therefore be present in the solvent in the crystalline modified polycarbonate pellets of preparation obviously increases.On the contrary, if the injection speed of pressurized gas greater than 800L/ hour, then Zhi Bei most of crystalline particle diameter less than 80 μ m and degree of crystallinity less than 5%.Pressurized gas can comprise at least a N of being selected from2, air, CO2And composition thereof gas.
Evaporate spray solution by the contact high-temperature gas, prepare crystalline modified polycarbonate thus.
As mentioned above, when preparing crystalline modified polycarbonate by spray crystallization, modified polycarbonate crystallization simultaneously and drying, and the particle diameter of crystalline modified polycarbonate is very regular.Therefore, do not need other drying, grinding and classification process, production technique is simplified and production cost reduces.
The hot gas that is used to evaporate modified polycarbonate solution can be N2, air, CO2Or its mixture.Gas has sufficiently high temperature with the solvent in can evaporating solns.For example, the temperature of gas is 40~250 ℃, preferred 60~150 ℃.
If the temperature of hot gas is lower than 40 ℃, solvent evaporation is slow and insufficient, can not be directly used in solid state polymerization processes.Therefore, need the other further evaporating solvent of drying process.If the temperature of hot gas is higher than 250 ℃, then the too fast therefore degree of crystallinity of solvent evaporation reduces.Therefore, the crystalline modified polycarbonate pellets that obtains can not be directly used in method for solid phase polymerization, because their fusions in solid state polymerization processes.
The mean diameter of crystalline modified polycarbonate pellets is 80~3000 μ m.The limit of error of particle diameter is less than 30%.
If particle diameter is less than 80 μ m or greater than 3000 μ m, its degree of crystallinity can be too low or too high.In addition, the particle with above-mentioned diameter range is unsuitable for necessary decompression of solid state polymerization or nitrogen injection condition.And, if the particle diameter limit of error that keeps after the solvent evaporation greater than 30%, the physicals of crystalline polyester carbonic ether is inhomogenous.
Referring now to the method for Fig. 1 detailed description as the crystalline modified polycarbonate of preparation of embodiment of the present invention.
In agitator 1 with non-crystalline state modified polycarbonate stirring and dissolving in solvent.
The solution that obtains is compressed gas 3 simultaneously by transfer pipeline 2 is transferred to solid state polymerization reactor 5 through nozzle 4 sprayings.The best injection speed of injecting the pressurized gas 3 of nozzle 4 changes with strength of solution.When the applying pressure nozzle replaces air-blast atomizer, do not use pressurized gas, as an alternative, the injection pressure of solution increases to 2.0kgf/ or higher.
Heat (high temperature) gas 8 injects along the opposite direction of solution spray through the hot gas injection tube, with the solvent of evaporating solns.The solvent and the hot gas 8 of evaporation are separated into liquid solvent and gas.Liquid solvent is back to agitator 1, and gas is heated and injects solid state polymerization reactor 5.
Collect modified polycarbonate in the distiller 12 below being installed in solid state polymerization reactor 5, in assembling cyclonic separator 6, collect the microsize particle of low-crystallinity.
