Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and particularly relates to a method for the high-value recycling of waste nylon. Background Art

[0002] Disclosing the information of this background art section is only intended to enhance the overall understanding of the present invention, and it is not necessarily to be regarded as an admission or an implication in any form that this information constitutes the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0003] Nylon materials have characteristics such as good wear resistance, chemical resistance, good mechanical properties, high melting point, and good biocompatibility. They are polymer materials with excellent comprehensive properties and are widely used in fields such as automotive, electronics, transportation, textiles, and medical. Nylon materials represented by PA66 and PA6 are one of the engineering plastic products with the largest global production and market demand. With the development of social economy, people's demand for nylon materials is increasing. However, a large amount of waste that is difficult to degrade naturally is generated during consumption. If these waste products are not properly treated, it will cause irreparable damage to the environment. For example, the waste fishing nets in the ocean not only pollute the environment but also have a fatal impact on marine life. Therefore, it is necessary to guide fishery participants to bring the waste nylon fishing nets in the deep sea back to land. In other aspects, the nylon materials on products such as engine filter oil cups and oil pipes cannot be degraded naturally after being discarded and need to be given a new life cycle.

[0004] Therefore, the recycling technology of nylon waste has attracted extensive attention. The main recycling methods of nylon waste include energy recovery, physical recovery, and chemical recovery. Among them, energy recovery and physical recovery mainly refer to landfill incineration or melting and remanufacturing, which have disadvantages such as secondary pollution and poor properties of recycled materials. Chemical recovery refers to degrading waste into corresponding monomers or chemical raw materials with higher added value through chemical reactions, thereby realizing the recycling of resources, which is a more thorough recovery method that conforms to atom economy. However, the current methods of nylon chemical recovery mainly use alcoholysis, ammonolysis, hydrolysis and other means to depolymerize nylon into diacids or diamines, and then the monomers are applied to nylon polymerization. These routes generally require high temperature and high pressure or supercritical conditions, and have low monomer recovery rate, large energy consumption, and high requirements for reaction equipment.

[0005] Polyetheramide elastomer is a block polymer composed of high-melting polyamide hard segments and polyether soft segments. Their chemical composition, block length, and the ratio between components determine the physical and chemical properties of this material. Polyetheramide elastomer has high strength, high toughness, good elasticity, low specific gravity, good flexural fatigue resistance, wear resistance, and good low-temperature resistance, and can be widely used in fields such as automobiles, sports goods, medical supplies, sealing components, and mechanical parts. Currently, commercially available polyetheramide elastomers generally adopt nylon 11 or nylon 12 systems, with high costs and poor domestic production capabilities. Some domestic researchers use conventional nylon segments to prepare oligomeric nylon by salification and then polymerization, and then add polyether for branching. Although polyetheramide elastomers can also be synthesized, the process route is complex, the reaction pressure is high during the synthesis process of nylon segments, and a large amount of wastewater containing amine compounds is generated, which is extremely environmentally unfriendly.

[0006] All of the above problems will affect the popularization of nylon materials and polyetheramide materials. It is necessary to provide a high-value solution for the environmental pollution problem of waste nylon, that is, to provide a technical route for preparing polyetheramide elastomer based on the recycling of waste nylon. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the above technical problems and the deficiencies in this field, the present invention is based on the recycling of waste nylon, and uses chemical recycling of nylon components to prepare polyetheramide elastomer, which not only solves the problem of treating nylon waste, but also the synthesized polyetheramide elastomer belongs to a high-value product with excellent comprehensive properties and wide applications.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] In the first aspect of the present invention, a method for high-value recycling of waste nylon is provided, including:

[0010] Mix nylon component A, nylon component B, component C, and catalyst E evenly, and carry out a depolymerization reaction to obtain a carboxyl-terminated nylon oligomer;

[0011] Add polyether component D, catalyst F, and antioxidant to the carboxyl-terminated nylon oligomer, and carry out reduced-pressure polycondensation to obtain a nylon elastomer product;

[0012] Based on the above polyetheramide elastomer and nylon components, the present invention also explored the components such as nylon component A, nylon component B, component C, and component D in the raw materials and their dosages. After verification, the ratio of nylon component A and nylon component B provided by the present invention is 7:3 to 2:8; the proportion of nylon component A, nylon component B, and component C in the total amount of all components is 25-60%; when the molar ratio of component C and component D is 1:1, the obtained polyetheramide elastomer has normal viscosity, high strength, good flexibility, and excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.

[0013] In the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a polyetheramide elastomer prepared by the above method.

[0014] In the third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the application of the above polyetheramide elastomer in the manufacture of automobiles, sports goods, medical supplies, sealing components, and mechanical parts.

[0015] Advantages of the present invention

[0016] (1) In the present invention, a carboxyl compound containing an ether oxygen bond is used to acidolyze the recycled waste nylon. Different from the currently commonly used alcoholysis, ammonolysis, and hydrolysis routes, the depolymerization degree of the recycled nylon can be controlled by the addition amount of the carboxyl compound containing an ether oxygen bond. Without going through separation and purification and the continuous polymerization of monomers, it can be directly used for the subsequent copolymerization with polyether components to prepare polyetheramide elastomers. The process route is simple. Compared with the conventional monomer polymerization route, the reaction period is short and no large amount of amine-containing wastewater is generated.

[0017] (2) In the present invention, by regulating the components of the recycled waste nylon and using a carboxyl compound containing an ether oxygen bond to participate in the depolymerization as the hard segment part of the polyetheramide elastomer, it has good flexibility, excellent elasticity, and can reduce the melting point, facilitating processing and application in fields such as foaming.

[0018] (3) The present invention provides a method for recycling nylon waste, which can relieve the plastic pollution pressure caused by the non-biodegradability of nylon waste after disposal. At the same time, a polyetheramide elastomer material with excellent performance is prepared using nylon waste, without the problem of performance attenuation when nylon waste is used as a nylon material again. Moreover, compared with commercially available polyetheramide elastomer materials, the cost is low, significantly improving the recycling value of nylon waste. Brief description of the drawings

[0052] Comparative Example 1

[0053] 60 kg of PA66 (nylon component A) recycled from waste fishing nets, 40 kg of PA12 (nylon component B) recycled from filter oil cups, 55.08 kg of diethylene glycol, and 25 g of stannous oxalate catalyst were added to a reaction kettle. High-purity nitrogen was used to displace the air in the reaction kettle. After displacing 3 times, high-purity nitrogen was introduced into the kettle, and the temperature was raised to 240 °C for depolymerization reaction. It could be observed that the materials in the kettle gradually changed from granular to a liquid state with lower viscosity. After reacting at a constant temperature for 4 h, a state quite different from that of the above-mentioned examples was obtained, with a significant ammonia smell. It should be that diethylene glycol depolymerized the nylon components into small-molecule amines. Then, 180 kg of polytetramethylene ether glycol (component D) with a molecular weight of 1000 g / mol, 90 g of tetrabutyl titanate catalyst, and 0.8 kg of antioxidant 1010 were added to the system. Under the condition of maintaining 240 °C, the pressure was reduced to 150 Pa under vacuum for polycondensation reaction for 6 h. The viscosity of the system did not increase, and it gradually turned black. After discharging under the protection of normal-pressure nitrogen, the product was a low-viscosity liquid, and it became slag-like after cooling and forming, without mechanical properties.

[0054] Comparative Example 2

[0055] PA66 salt and PA1010 salt were pre-prepared in a salt-forming reaction kettle. Then, 70 kg of PA66 salt, 30 kg of PA1010 salt, 26.22 kg of succinic acid, and 20 g of monobutyltin oxide catalyst were added to the reaction kettle. High-purity nitrogen was used to displace the air in the reaction kettle. After displacing 3 times, high-purity nitrogen was introduced into the kettle, and the temperature was raised to 250 °C for pressure-maintaining polymerization. After reacting under pressure for 4 h, the exhaust valve of the reaction kettle was slowly opened to cool down, and the pressure in the kettle was released to normal pressure within 3 h to obtain a carboxyl-terminated nylon oligomer. Then, 400 kg of polytetramethylene ether glycol (component D) with a molecular weight of 1800 g / mol, 280 g of tetraethyl titanate catalyst, 0.7 kg of antioxidant 1010, and 0.7 kg of antioxidant 168 were added to the system. Under the condition of maintaining 250 °C, the pressure was reduced to 100 Pa under vacuum for polycondensation reaction for 5 h. After discharging under the protection of normal-pressure nitrogen, the product was obtained by water-cooling and pelletizing to obtain a nylon elastomer product, which was significantly yellowish compared with the materials obtained in the above-mentioned examples. The obtained product was used to prepare specimens by injection molding for mechanical property test and evaluation. The specific data are shown in Table 1.

[0056] In addition, commercially available Pebax products were selected for performance testing as a comparative reference.

[0057] Table 1

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the nylon elastomer material synthesized from recycled waste nylon in the present invention has mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear strength that are close to those of the conventional salification route and currently commercially available Pebax products. The melt index is also within the normal range, indicating normal viscosity and normal usability, significantly improving the application value of waste nylon. Moreover, the melting point of the nylon elastomer prepared by this technical solution can be slightly lower than that of commercially available products, which is more conducive to injection molding and applications in fields such as foaming.
