Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of fluorine-containing polymers, in particular to a fluorine-containing surfactant and application thereof in the preparation of polytetrafluoroethylene. Background Art

[0002] Perfluorosulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are the most commonly used fluorinated surfactants and are important additives in the production process of fluorinated polymers. However, they are difficult to degrade and are a type of fluorinated surfactant with limited use. Therefore, the development of new environmentally friendly surfactants is a major issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the field of fluorinated polymers.

[0003] Currently, the main research directions for replacing PFOA are new fluorinated surfactants and fluorinated-free surfactants. US20090436280 discloses the use of a mixture of fluoropolyether acids or salts with a molecular weight of 800 to 2500 for the aqueous dispersion polymerization of fluorinated polymers.

[0004] Publication No. CN115466343A discloses a polyether diacid or its salt surfactant and its application; the general structural formula of the polyether diacid or its salt surfactant is as follows:

[0005] XL-(O-CH2CHZ) a -(O-CR1R2CR3R4) b -OLX;

[0006] Wherein, Z represents H or CH3; L represents C1-C5 alkylene; X represents -COOM or -SO3M, and M represents H + NH4 + Or Na + ; R1 to R4 independently represent H atoms, F atoms, non-fluorinated alkyl or alkoxy groups, partially fluorinated alkyl or alkoxy groups, and fully fluorinated alkyl or alkoxy groups; a and b independently represent positive integers of 0 to 10. The polyether diacid or its salt surfactant can significantly reduce the surface tension of the polymerization system, improve the stability of the fluorinated polymer aqueous dispersion, and significantly reduce the amount of fluorinated surfactant used.

[0007] Publication No. CN117645682A discloses a fusible polytetrafluoroethylene resin and a preparation method thereof, the method comprising adding an aqueous reaction medium, a fluorine-containing surfactant, a buffer, an initiator and a perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether into a reaction kettle, introducing a tetrafluoroethylene monomer to a reaction pressure not higher than 0.8 MPa, copolymerizing to obtain a fusible tetrafluoro polymer solution, adding water to adjust the solid content in a post-treatment condensation process, and obtaining a fusible polytetrafluoroethylene resin through stirring condensation, filtering, washing, drying and fluorine gas treatment. The product obtained by the fusible polytetrafluoroethylene resin preparation process adopted by the present invention has a transparent appearance, the product fluorine ion precipitation is less than 10ppm, the metal ion precipitation is less than 1ppm, and the high-purity field requirements are met, but the solid content of the polytetrafluoroethylene resin finally obtained is only controlled at 5% to 15%.

[0008] From the perspective of research and production technology in recent years, most of the existing types of fluorinated surfactants that meet the PFOA / PFOS restriction requirements have problems such as low reaction selectivity, low yield, difficult purification, and environmentally unfriendly production processes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more fluorinated surfactants with new structures to solve environmental problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a fluorine-containing surfactant, which has a bifunctional structure, can improve the dispersion ability of the polytetrafluoroethylene polymerization system, improve the stability of the reaction, and the structure has the characteristics of easy biodegradability and little impact on the environment.

[0010] A fluorinated surfactant, the structure of which is shown below:

[0011] AOO2SC2F4O-(CF(CF3)CF2-O-) n -CF(CF3)COOA;

[0012] Where n = 2 to 8, A is H + , Li + , K + 、Na + NH4 + One of them.

[0013] The fluorinated surfactant used in the present invention has a bifunctional structure, one end of which is a sulfonic acid group, which improves the water solubility of the fluorinated surfactant, improves the dispersibility of the polytetrafluoroethylene polymerization system, and improves the stability of the reaction; the other end is a carboxylic acid group, which can significantly reduce the surface tension of the polytetrafluoroethylene polymerization system. Because it has the characteristic of being easily biodegradable, it can solve the problem that the existing fluorinated surfactants are not environmentally friendly.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the fluorinated surfactant, the preparation conditions are mild and controllable, and the process is environmentally friendly.

[0015] A method for preparing a fluorinated surfactant comprises the following steps: reacting a fluorinated polyether monomer with AOH to obtain a fluorinated surfactant, wherein the structural formula of the fluorinated polyether monomer is as shown in formula (1):

[0016]

[0017] Formula (1)

[0018] Among them, n=2~8.

[0019] In the present invention, the synthesis of the fluorinated polyether monomer refers to the preparation of the intermediate pure product of step 1) in the preparation method in patent CN202210499054.1. After tetrafluorosulfone and hexafluoropropylene oxide undergo an isomerization / addition reaction, the obtained fluorinated polyether monomer has a double-end difference in acyl fluoride end groups, i.e., a carbonyl fluoride end group and a sulfonyl fluoride end group. This fluorinated polyether monomer has a structure with hexafluoropropoxy repeating segments, which has obvious degradable advantages compared to long-chain fluoroalkyl groups. The fluorinated polyether monomer is obtained by reacting with AOH to obtain the above-mentioned fluorinated surfactant. To synthesize fluorinated surfactant active agents with different n numbers, it is only necessary to replace the raw materials with fluorinated polyether monomer raw materials with different n numbers. The preparation conditions are mild and controllable, and the process is environmentally friendly.

[0020] Preferably, the AOH is one of H2O, LiOH, KOH, NaOH, and NH4OH.

[0021] The present invention also provides a method for preparing polytetrafluoroethylene using the fluorine-containing polymer. The method can prepare polytetrafluoroethylene solid powder having good polymerization reaction stability when the solid content is greater than 29.8%.

[0022] A method for preparing polytetrafluoroethylene with a high solid content comprises the following steps:

[0023] (1) adding an aqueous reaction medium, the above-mentioned fluorinated surfactant and an auxiliary agent into a reaction kettle under vacuum and oxygen-free conditions to obtain a mixed solution;

[0024] (2) heating the mixed solution obtained in step (1) and stirring it, introducing tetrafluoroethylene monomer and then adding an initiator, and continuing to add tetrafluoroethylene monomer until the reaction pressure is reached, and obtaining a polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion after a polymerization reaction;

[0025] (3) The polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion obtained in step (2) is coagulated, washed and dehydrated to obtain polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0026] Polytetrafluoroethylene is insoluble in water, and tetrafluoroethylene monomer gas diffuses into the aqueous solution, and begins to polymerize under the action of an initiator to form polytetrafluoroethylene particles, which are precipitated from the aqueous reaction medium under the action of a fluorinated surfactant to form a polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion. In the present invention, by controlling the parameters of the polymerization process, a polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion with a solid content of 29.8% to 35% can be obtained, and the particle morphology of the obtained polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion is relatively uniform, and no demulsification occurs during the polymerization process, and no obvious floccules are present.

[0027] Preferably, in step (1), the anaerobic condition is an oxygen content less than 20 ppm.

[0028] Preferably, in step (1), the aqueous reaction medium is deionized water.

[0029] In the present invention, the provided fluorinated surfactant containing a terminal bifunctional structure is used as an emulsifier in the polymerization reaction system, and the emulsifier can reduce the surface tension in the polymerization reaction system, making the components in the polymerization reaction system more soluble in each other. Preferably, the amount of the fluorinated surfactant added is 0.01% to 5% by weight of the aqueous reaction medium.

[0030] Preferably, in step (1), the auxiliary agent is a stabilizing auxiliary agent and a chain transfer agent.

[0031] More preferably, the stabilizing agent is one of paraffin, silicone oil and fluorocarbon compounds.

[0032] More preferably, the stabilizing agent is perfluoropolyether, and the addition amount of the perfluoropolyether is 0.1% to 12% of the weight of the aqueous reaction medium.

[0033] In the present invention, perfluoropolyether is selected as a stabilizing agent to improve the thermal stability of the polymerization reaction system and reduce the generation of coagulation. However, when the amount of the stabilizing agent added is too much, the difficulty of post-processing will increase, and the stabilizing agent will remain in the polytetrafluoroethylene, affecting the quality of the product.

[0034] More preferably, the chain transfer agent is an alcohol or an alkane with a carbon number ≤ 3, and the added amount of the chain transfer agent is 0.005% to 5% of the weight of the aqueous phase reaction medium.

[0035] In the present invention, the polymerization reaction speed increases with the increase of the polymerization reaction temperature, but when the polymerization reaction temperature is too high, the polymerization reaction is difficult to control, and when the temperature is too low, the polymerization reaction is difficult to proceed. On the other hand, the reaction speed will also increase with the increase of the polymerization reaction pressure, but if the polymerization reaction pressure is too high, the equipment requirements are high and the investment cost is increased; if the polymerization reaction pressure is too low, the solubility of tetrafluoroethylene in water is low and the reaction speed is slow. The stirring speed will affect the particle size of polytetrafluoroethylene in the emulsion, and the particle size will decrease with the increase of the stirring speed. Preferably, the polymerization reaction temperature is 50-100°C, the reaction pressure is 0.5-6.0MPa, and the stirring speed is 300-800r / min.

[0036] Further preferably, the amount of the fluorinated surfactant added is 0.01% to 5% by weight of the aqueous reaction medium, the amount of the perfluoropolyether added is 2% to 10% by weight of the aqueous reaction medium, and the stirring speed of the polymerization reaction is 500 to 700 r / min.

[0037] When the addition amount of fluorinated surfactant and perfluoropolyether and the stirring speed of the polymerization reaction are within the above ranges, the emulsion stability is good during the preparation of the polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, no demulsification occurs, and no obvious flocculants are generated. In the prepared polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, the primary particle size of polytetrafluoroethylene is 200-230nm, and the solid content can be as high as 34%.

[0038] Preferably, in step (2), the initiator is an inorganic peroxide initiator, such as ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, etc.; the amount of the initiator added is 0.0003% to 10% of the weight of the aqueous reaction medium.

[0039] The amount of initiator added has an impact on the stability of the polymerization reaction. When the amount of initiator added is controlled within the above range of the aqueous phase reaction system, the stability of the polymer reaction system can be maintained while ensuring that the particle size is also small.

[0040] Preferably, in the polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, the primary particle size of polytetrafluoroethylene is 200-230 nm, and the solid content is 29.8%-35%.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] (1) The present invention provides a fluorinated surfactant having a sulfonic acid group and a carboxylic acid group at the end, which can solve the environmental pollution pressure of the existing perfluorooctanoic acid-based fluorinated surfactants due to its biodegradable properties. At the same time, the fluorinated surfactant can reduce the surface tension in the polymerization reaction system and improve the stability of the polymerization reaction system.

[0043] (2) The fluorinated surfactant provided by the present invention can be used as an emulsifier in the preparation process of polytetrafluoroethylene, which can reduce the surface tension in the polymerization reaction system, make the components in the polymerization reaction system more soluble in each other, and prevent demulsification during the polymerization reaction.
