Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of material preparation, and particularly relates to a synthesis method and application of a quaternary ammonium salt catalyst and an environmentally friendly hydroxyalkyl acrylate that can be directly used in the synthesis of a polycarboxylic acid series concrete admixture. Background Art

[0002] Hydroxyalkyl acrylates are important organic compounds with extremely active properties and a wide range of applications, primarily in fiber processing, coatings, light-curing resins, adhesives, paper processing, and the rubber industry. Hydroxyalkyl acrylates also play a key role in the synthesis of polycarboxylic acid-based concrete admixtures.

[0003] Concrete admixtures, as important substances for improving concrete properties, are widely used in construction projects. The synthesis of hydroxyalkyl acrylates, a key raw material for polycarboxylic acid-based concrete admixtures, has been a hot topic of research. However, traditional synthesis methods often suffer from slow reaction rates, low conversion rates, and the need for subsequent purification. This not only increases production costs but also affects product performance and application effectiveness. Furthermore, these products may contain harmful substances such as chloride ions and heavy metal ions, causing environmental pollution.

[0004] At present, the routes for synthesizing hydroxyalkyl acrylates mainly include the ring-opening method (divided into direct method and indirect method), direct esterification method, transesterification method, reaction method of diols with acryloyl chloride, reaction method of diol carbonate with acrylic acid, chlorohydrin method, etc.

[0005] The indirect method of ring opening of alkylene oxide and the transesterification method for producing hydroxyalkyl acrylate have many steps, which increases production cost and is uneconomical. The reaction method of diol and acryloyl chloride has high reactivity and fast reaction speed, but the cost of acyl chloride is much higher than that of the corresponding carboxylic acid, so its industrial application has great limitations. The reaction time of diol carbonate and acrylic acid is long and the reaction temperature is high. The long-term high temperature will produce more side reactions, thereby reducing the yield. The chlorohydrin method has a long synthesis cycle, unstable product quality, and there are problems with filtering the byproduct NaCl and the disadvantages of high toxicity of chlorohydrin.

[0006] Considering factors such as cost and yield, the synthetic process of hydroxyalkyl acrylates using acrylic acid and alkylene oxide as raw materials is reasonable and feasible, and the research focus of this process is on the development of efficient catalysts. Yin Jiazi and Zhu Xinbao have experimentally verified catalysts such as chromium-based catalysts, iron-based catalysts, and organic amines in the literature. However, each catalyst has its own advantages and disadvantages. After studying the hydroxyalkyl acrylates synthesized using these catalysts, they found that when used in the synthesis of concrete admixtures, the hydroxyalkyl acrylates need to be purified, otherwise the residual catalyst will have a certain negative impact on the synthesis of the concrete admixture.

[0042] Wherein R is one of H or CH3; a is a positive integer between 1 and 20; b is a positive integer between 20 and 80; c is a positive integer between 10 and 30; n is a positive integer between 50 and 70;

[0043] The preparation method of the polycarboxylic acid-based concrete admixture specifically comprises: using a polyether macromonomer, an oxidant, and water as a primer, preparing an aqueous solution of acrylic acid and an environmentally friendly hydroxyalkyl acrylate that can be directly used in the synthesis of the polycarboxylic acid-based concrete admixture as a dropwise addition material A, a reducing agent and a chain transfer agent as a dropwise addition material B, and preparing an alkaline solution as a dropwise addition material C; dropwise adding materials A, B, and C to the primer; and maintaining the temperature for reaction after the dropwise addition is completed.

[0044] The structural formula of the polyether macromonomer is:

[0045] wherein n is a positive integer between 50 and 70; the polyether macromonomer is selected from vinyl polyoxyethylene ether;

[0046] The preparation method of the polycarboxylic acid concrete admixture is carried out at room temperature and normal pressure.

[0047] The mass ratio of the polyether macromonomer, acrylic acid and environmentally friendly hydroxyalkyl acrylate that can be directly used in the synthesis of polycarboxylic acid concrete admixtures is 30: (0.6-3.0): (1.5-5);

[0048] In the preparation method of the polycarboxylic acid concrete admixture, the mass concentration of material A is 50%;

[0055] While existing catalysts used in ring-opening methods exhibit excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the synthesis of hydroxyalkyl acrylates, they also present several challenges and shortcomings. Currently, the catalysts used in the industrialization of hydroxyalkyl acrylates are primarily chromium-based catalysts. The main drawbacks are the cumbersome subsequent purification process and the tendency for the hydroxyalkyl acrylate to self-polymerize during purification. Without purification, residual chromium can negatively impact the synthesis of polycarboxylic acid-based concrete admixtures. Furthermore, chromium ions are heavy metal ions, posing a hazard to the environment.

Due to the characteristics of environmental protection, high efficiency, can be directly used in the synthesis of concrete admixture, it is particularly suitable for industrialized production. Containing alkene group in the catalyst structure of the present invention, this not only has no influence on the ring opening of alkylene oxide. And owing to introducing a double bond to form quaternary ammonium salt catalyst on hexamethylenetetramine, when synthesizing polycarboxylic acid, the double bond in the catalyst can break and polyether macromonomer, acrylic acid, hydroxyalkyl acrylate etc. occur water-phase free radical polymerization, generate a kind of comb-shaped polycarboxylic acid structure, so not only do not have negative impact on the synthesis of polycarboxylic acid concrete admixture, but also become a kind of polycarboxylic acid on the contrary, the performance of polycarboxylic acid concrete admixture has been further improved. After introducing double bonds on hexamethylenetetramine, quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is formed. Due to containing double bonds in the catalyst, double bonds can be disconnected and aqueous phase free radical polymerization occurs with polyether macromonomers, acrylic acid, hydroxyalkyl acrylate, etc. to form a polycarboxylic acid structure. This structure is similar to the admixture structure and also has a promoting effect on concrete performance. In practical applications, this method can significantly reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and simultaneously ensure the quality and performance of the product. The environment-friendly synthesis method of the present invention will be more popular in the market. By the implementation of the present invention, not only the progress of hydroxyalkyl acrylate synthesis technology can be promoted, but also the green development and sustainable development of the concrete admixture industry can be promoted. Therefore, the present invention has a wide range of industrial applicability in the fields of chemical synthesis, concrete admixture production, etc. The catalyst of the present invention does not contain toxic and harmful substances such as heavy metals, is a kind of environmentally friendly catalyst, and will not pollute the environment.
