Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing alkenyl succinic anhydride. Background Art
[0002] Alkenyl succinic anhydride, abbreviated as ASA, is a general term for unsaturated hydrocarbons with succinic anhydride groups. It is an oily amber liquid at room temperature and is a highly effective internal sizing agent for paper pulp. ASA's molecular structure contains hydrophobic groups and reactive anhydride groups. The hydrophobic groups coat the conical pores on the cellulose surface, acting as a water repellent. The reactive anhydride groups constitute the reactive groups in the sizing agent, forming covalent bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose, thereby providing a fixative. Compared to traditional rosin sizing agents, ASA sizing agents offer advantages such as a wide pH range, good compatibility with alkaline fillers and pigments, superior paper strength, and strong resistance to penetration by acidic and alkaline liquids.
[0003] In the prior art, ASA is prepared from C13-C14 internal olefins and maleic anhydride. However, due to the low carbon number of the olefins used, their use as a sizing agent is not ideal. In addition, the purification method is usually distillation in a distillation tower, which consumes a lot of energy and is time-consuming. As a result, the product cokes during the purification process and is difficult to handle, affecting the product yield and quality, resulting in high production costs. Summary of the Invention
