Tung oil-based polyol and synthesis method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a tung oil-based polyol synthesis method, which comprises: mixing tung oil and a hydroxylating reagent according to a certain ratio, and heating to a temperature of 35-45 DEG C; mixing a hydrogen peroxide solution accounting for 40-60% of the total adding amount, carboxylic acid and an inorganic acid catalyst under vigorous stirring, adding the obtained mixture to the reaction system in a dropwise manner, slowly adding the remaining hydrogen peroxide solution in a dropwise manner after completing the adding of the mixture, maintaining the reaction temperature at 40-65 DEG C by controlling the adding rate, and maintaining the reaction temperature for 3-5 h after completing the adding; and carrying out standing layering after completing the reaction, separating to obtain a water phase, neutralizing, carrying out water washing, and carrying out pressure reducing distillation to obtain the tung oil-based polyol. According to the present invention, the conjugated double bond of tung oil can improve the reactivity of the epoxy group, such that the hydroxylating reagent is added while the epoxidation is performed so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of the cross-linking side reaction and efficiently synthesize the tung oil-based polyol product; and the prepared tung oil-based polyol has the hydroxyl value of 120-270 mgKOH/g, the acid value of less than 1.0 mgKOH/g, the moisture content of less than 0.1 wt% and the yield of more than 92%, and can be used for the preparation of polyurethane materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of polyurethane materials, and in particular relates to a tung oil-based polyol and a synthesis method thereof. Background technique [0002] Polyurethane materials have been widely used in industry and people's daily life due to their good mechanical properties and easy molding. The main raw materials used to produce polyurethane include isocyanates, polyols and other additives, of which polyols account for more than 50%. In the process of industrial production, polyols are mainly used in the field of polyurethane, so the factors affecting the polyurethane industry are also the main factors affecting the polyol market. Polyols can be divided into polyether polyols and polyester polyols according to their molecular structure. Among them, polyether polyols dominate the market, accounting for more than 70% of the entire polyol demand. [0003] Typically, polyols are prepared from petroleum. As a non-renewable resourc...

Problems solved by technology

However, tung oil is used to prepare high-quality vegetable oil polyols. Because tung oil has a high degree of unsaturation and is the only unsaturated vegetable oil with conjugated double bonds in nature, the iodine value reaches more than 170, and more than 85% of the unsaturated bonds are Carbon-carbon conjugated triene bonds, so the presence of conjugated double bonds in tung oil in the process of preparing polyol epoxidation makes the epoxy group highly reactive, poor in selectivity, and prone to side reactions, thereby generating macromolecular cross-links. Co-product, resulting in a sharp increase in viscosity, usually soli
