Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a catalyst and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a catalyst for recovering polyethylene terephthalate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a material with excellent performance and has been widely used in various industries. This is accompanied by the generation and accumulation of a large amount of waste PET materials, which are difficult to degrade due to their biological and chemical resistance and remain in the natural environment for a long time. Mechanical recycling and landfill as conventional physical recycling methods cannot solve the PET recycling problem from the root. Chemical recycling is the only effective way to fundamentally solve the problem of plastic recycling.
[0003] Among chemical recycling methods, hydrolysis, alcoholysis, diollysis and amination are the four common depolymerization pathways. Among them, diollysis is favored as an ideal industrial recycling pathway for plastics in the future due to its relatively mild reaction conditions and simple process flow. However, the process of diollysis usually requires the addition of catalysts to reduce the activation energy of the reaction to achieve the purpose of efficient recycling of PET. Various catalysts have been studied in this process and have played a huge role.
[0004] However, metal catalysts also bring many problems. For example, the reaction temperature of metal catalysts is high, and they are also accompanied by high pressure, which brings heavy energy loss; the large-scale use of heavy metal ions pollutes water quality, has great biological toxicity, and also brings huge pressure to the environment. Non-metallic catalysts, as greener and more environmentally friendly catalysts, can effectively reduce the reaction energy barrier in terms of reaction, so that the reaction can be carried out under mild conditions; the reaction operation is simple and highly designable. However, the main problems of non-metallic catalysts at present are that it takes a long time for the reaction to reach equilibrium and the monomer conversion rate is low; the thermal stability is not high, and the reaction is easy to denature at the reaction temperature of depolymerizing PET. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides an ionic liquid catalyst and a preparation method thereof, which are used for depolymerizing waste polyethylene terephthalate.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] 1. An ionic liquid catalyst for recycling polyethylene terephthalate:
[0008] The ionic liquid catalyst is mainly prepared by the reaction of a bicyclic organic base and 4-hydroxypiperidine and is a transparent light yellow liquid.
[0009] The bicyclic organic base is one or more of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene TBD, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-5-nonene DBN, 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene MTBD and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene DBU;
[0010] The molar ratio of the bicyclic organic base to 4-hydroxypiperidine is 1:1.
[0011] 2. A method for preparing an ionic liquid catalyst, the method comprising:
[0012] 1) At room temperature, a bicyclic organic base is placed in a solvent, mixed and stirred to dissolve to obtain a mixed solution;
[0013] 2) adding 4-hydroxypiperidine to the mixed solution prepared in step 1), heating and magnetically stirring the mixture for a period of time, and reacting the mixture under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a reaction solution;
[0014] 3) The reaction solution obtained in step 2) is subjected to rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and the product is separated and purified to obtain the product, and then the product is placed in a vacuum oven and dried for a period of time to obtain an ionic liquid catalyst. The obtained ionic liquid catalyst is a transparent light yellow liquid.
[0015] The bicyclic organic base is one or more of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene TBD, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-5-nonene DBN, 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene MTBD and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene DBU;
[0016] The molar ratio of the bicyclic organic base to 4-hydroxypiperidine is 1:1;
[0017] In the step 2), the heating temperature is 60-80°C and the reaction time is 3-12 hours;
[0018] In the step 3), the product is placed in a vacuum oven and dried for 12 to 24 hours.
[0019] In the step 1), the bicyclic organic base is 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene TBD;
[0020] The molar ratio of the bicyclic organic base to 4-hydroxypiperidine is 1:1;
[0021] In the step 2), the heating temperature is 60°C and the reaction time is 12 hours;
[0022] In the step 3), the product is placed in a vacuum oven and dried for 24 hours.
[0023] The ionic liquid catalyst of the present invention can be used in the recovery of polyethylene terephthalate.
[0024] 3. A method for recovering polyethylene terephthalate using an ionic liquid catalyst, the method comprising the following steps:
[0025] An ionic liquid catalyst and polyethylene terephthalate are sequentially added to an ethylene glycol solution, and then a depolymerization reaction is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the final products obtained are bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate monomers and dimers and other oligomeric polymer insolubles. The degree of polymerization of the polymer in the oligomeric polymer insolubles is low, usually not higher than 10, so that the polyethylene terephthalate is recovered and processed.
[0026] The above products include bis(hydroxyethyl)terephthalate, dimer and oligomer with a polymerization degree of greater than 3 and less than or equal to 10.
[0027] The mass ratio of the ionic liquid catalyst, ethylene glycol and polyethylene terephthalate is 4-10:400-1000:100; the depolymerization reaction conditions are: the pressure is standard atmospheric pressure, the reaction temperature is 150-180°C, preferably the reaction temperature is 170°C, the reaction time is 10-70 minutes, and the preferred reaction time is 70 minutes.
[0028] The mass ratio of the ionic liquid catalyst, ethylene glycol and polyethylene terephthalate is 8:1000:100.
[0029] After the depolymerization reaction is completed, the reactants are cooled to room temperature, deionized water is added to the reactants to dissolve them, and the temperature is increased and then stirred, and then unreacted polyethylene terephthalate and filtrate are obtained by suction filtration. The unreacted polyethylene terephthalate is dried and weighed, and the filtrate is concentrated by rotary evaporation and then cooled at 0°C, and then suction filtered to obtain the recovered bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate.
[0030] Compared with the background technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0031] The present invention uses a mixed reaction of a bicyclic organic base and 4-hydroxypiperidine to prepare an ionic liquid catalyst, which is applied to the depolymerization of waste polyethylene terephthalate materials. The catalyst does not have any metal ions involved in the reaction and is a green and environmentally friendly catalyst. The method for depolymerizing PET using the catalyst can not only achieve efficient depolymerization of PET, but also reduce the reaction temperature. Under optimal conditions, PET is completely depolymerized and a monomer yield of 85.2% similar to that of a metal catalyst is obtained. In addition, the catalyst described in the present invention is green, harmless and easy to prepare, which reduces the cost compared to some non-metallic catalysts and improves thermal stability compared to common non-metallic catalysts. The depolymerization experimental process is simple and the recovery cost is low. In the future, experiments can be carried out in the pilot stage to lay the foundation for commercial depolymerization of PET. It is an efficient means to solve the problem of plastic pollution and sustainable development. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
