[0040] Preferably, a stirring device is provided in the raw material kettle 1 to more favorably uniformly mix the raw materials in the raw material kettle 1 and accelerate the completion of the first-step reaction.

[0042] Specifically, the aspect ratio of the raw material kettle 1 is between 3 and 5, and the aspect ratio of each polymerization reactor (2, 3, 4) is also between 3 and 5.

[0044] The above embodiments of the synthesis device of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol are all exemplified by three series-connected polymerization reactors (2, 3, 4), but more than three polymerization reactors can be used for the above series connection according to the actual production scale.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments of the synthesis device of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, the present invention proposes a synthesis method of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, which is applied in the above synthesis device of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, combined with Figure 2 as shown Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the synthesis path and process of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol of the present invention. Still taking three series-connected polymerization reactors (2, 3, 4) as an example, the synthesis method mainly includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S110: Inject an excessive amount of diol (such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) and a certain amount of phthalic anhydride or terephthalic acid into the raw material kettle 1 through the pipeline 9 and the raw material inlet 1-1 of the raw material kettle. While stirring and mixing, introduce a certain amount of nitrogen through the pipeline 10 and the gas inlet 1-2 of the raw material kettle, and stir for a period of time under a nitrogen atmosphere, so that part of the diol (i.e., substance B in the first reaction formula) reacts with phthalic anhydride or terephthalic acid (i.e., substance A in the first reaction formula) in a ratio of 1:1 to obtain an esterified diol (i.e., substance C in the first reaction formula). This is the first step of the reaction;

[0047] Step S120: Inject the mixture of unesterified diol (i.e., substance B in the second reaction formula) and esterified diol (i.e., substance C in the second reaction formula) in the raw material kettle 1 into the upper part of the first polymerization reactor 2 through pipeline 11 and the first raw material inlet 2-1. It flows from the upper part to the lower part through the stationary phase, and introduce carbon dioxide gas (i.e., substance D in the second reaction formula) into the first polymerization reactor 2 through pipeline 12 and the first gas inlet 2-2. It is blown from the lower part to the upper part through the stationary phase. The diol (i.e., substance B in the second reaction formula), esterified diol (i.e., substance C in the second reaction formula) and carbon dioxide (i.e., substance D in the second reaction formula) undergo a polymerization reaction at the stationary phase catalyst to obtain a polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol (i.e., substance F in the second reaction formula, where a, b, and n are all integers greater than 1). This is the second step of the reaction;

[0048] Step S130: After passing through three polymerization reactors (2, 3, 4), a polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol with a molecular weight of more than 2000 is obtained. The product of the third polymerization reactor 4 is collected through the third product outlet 4-4 and transported to the storage unit 5 through pipeline 16 for storage as a reaction raw material for further reaction to produce polymers such as polyurethane.

[0049] Specific embodiment: Taking a 30 L raw material kettle 1 and three series-connected 30 L polymerization reactors (2, 3, 4) as an example, the diameters of the pipelines (11, 14, 15, 16) connected to the respective raw material inlets (2-1, 3-1, 4-1) and respective product outlets (2-4, 3-4, 4-4) of each polymerization reactor (2, 3, 4) are all 50 mm. The end of pipeline 12 for introducing carbon dioxide into each polymerization reactor (2, 3, 4) through their respective gas inlets (2-2, 3-2, 4-2) can be directly connected to a gas distributor (not shown in the figure), and the pore diameters on this gas distributor are all 2 mm.

[0050] Add terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol to the raw material kettle 1, and the molar ratio of the two is 1:2.05. The ethylene glycol is slightly in excess. Purge with nitrogen and stir and react at 215 °C for 10 h; then introduce the raw material liquid in the raw material kettle 1 into the three polymerization reactors (2, 3, 4), change to purge with carbon dioxide, control the reaction temperature at 210 °C. After reacting through the three polymerization reactors (2, 3, 4), the molecular weight of the obtained polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol is 3000; this target product copolymer diol can be used as a reaction raw material for further reaction to produce polymers such as polyurethane, and is beneficial to enhancing and improving the performance of polymers such as polyurethane, ensuring the quality and yield of copolymer products such as polyurethane.

[0051] Based on the above synthesis method of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, the present invention also provides a biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, whose molecular formula is , wherein a, b, and n are all integers greater than 1; and the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol is prepared by the above synthesis method of the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol.

[0052] Through the above biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, its synthesis method and reaction device, the obtained product, the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol, has a regular structure and adjustable properties, because the sequence structure of the copolymer diol (i.e., substance F in the second reaction formula) can be controlled by adjusting the dosage ratio of the raw material diol (i.e., Figure 2 substance B in the first reaction formula). The specific adjustment experimental data can be seen in detail in Figure 3 the attached table shown; as can be seen from this attached table, on the one hand, when the dosage of terephthalic acid (i.e., Figure 2 substance A in the first reaction formula) remains unchanged, increasing the dosage ratio of ethylene glycol (i.e., Figure 1 substance B in the first reaction formula), that is, increasing the molar ratio of the two (i.e., substance A: substance B), then the polymer selectivity will increase, the polycarbonate content will decrease, the polyester content will increase, and the molecular weight of the obtained copolymer diol (i.e., Figure 2 substance F in the second reaction formula) will increase; on the other hand, even if the molar ratio of the two (i.e., substance A: substance B) remains unchanged, but when the dosages of both decrease, the molecular weight of the obtained copolymer diol (i.e., Figure 2 substance F in the second reaction formula) will also decrease significantly.

[0053] At the same time, because the benzene rings are separated by carbonate bonds, the biodegradability is better; and the cost of the raw materials (i.e., ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) is lower, which is more suitable for large-scale production; this product can be used for subsequent synthesis of plastics or polyurethanes, which are all beneficial to enhancing the physical properties of the copolymer; in addition, the reaction device for the biodegradable polyester polycarbonate copolymer diol of the present invention is an atmospheric pressure reaction, with low requirements for equipment; there is no need for additional devices for separating the catalyst from the product; nor is it necessary to add a dehydrating agent, and the reaction conditions are mild; and the reaction device realizes the recycling of excess CO2, meeting the requirements of green chemistry.

[0054] Contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0055] It should be understood that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not sufficient to limit the technical solutions of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, within the spirit and principle of the present invention, additions, deletions, substitutions, transformations or improvements can be made according to the above description, and all these technical solutions after the additions, deletions, substitutions, transformations or improvements shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
