Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical purification, and in particular to a method for refining 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid. Background Art
[0002] 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride is one of the important monomers of polyimide, and 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid is the main raw material for preparing 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride. The polyimide synthesized with 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride as raw material is the super heat-resistant resin with the highest heat resistance temperature at present, and its mechanical properties, hydrolysis resistance and flexibility are superior to the traditional polyimide materials synthesized from pyromellitic acid dianhydride monomer, and it is widely used in the electronics industry. At present, with the continuous improvement of the performance requirements of polyimide materials, in the synthesis process, the whiteness of the dianhydride monomer is required to be >90% and the metal ion is <0.5ppm, which leads to higher requirements for the purification effect of 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid.
[0003] The current purification method of 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid has the problems of using toxic reagents, low product whiteness, low product purity, and complex purification process. For example, patent CN114507130A discloses a purification method of 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, which uses a mixed solution of amides and water as a solvent, dissolves 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid by heating, and precipitates it into crystals by cooling. However, when amide solvents are heated with water, they are easily hydrolyzed to produce dimethylamine, which is easy to react with biphenyltetracarboxylic acid to reduce the purity of the product. In addition, amide solvents are easily oxidized and yellowed, which can easily cause the color of the refined product to be yellowish. N,N-dimethylformamide is also highly toxic and harmful to the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new purification method for 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid.
