Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PETG production, in particular to a PETG oligomer continuous recovery polymerization production system and method. Background Art
[0002] PETG (polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol) is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, which is widely used in packaging, medical devices and 3D printing. In the production process of PETG, some oligomers are produced due to the start-up and shutdown or vacuum system. These oligomers have the characteristics of low molecular weight and viscosity and need to be recycled. However, the recycling of PETG has always been a challenge faced by the industry. Traditional PETG recycling technology is mainly divided into two categories: physical recycling and chemical recycling.
[0003] Physical recycling method: Physical recycling mainly processes waste PETG through mechanical separation, cleaning and granulation. Although this method is simple, it has many problems, such as the introduction of impurities during the recycling process, which leads to a decline in product quality; as the number of recycling increases, the molecular weight and viscosity of PETG decrease significantly, limiting its application in high-end products; physical recycling cannot effectively remove harmful substances, such as acetaldehyde, which may cause potential harm to the environment and human health.
[0004] Chemical recycling method: Chemical recycling degrades PETG into oligomers or monomers and then repolymerizes them, but there are also some problems, such as: traditional chemical recycling processes usually require high temperature and high pressure conditions, and have high energy consumption; some chemical recycling methods require the use of a large amount of catalysts, which increases production costs and post-processing difficulties; by-products may be produced during the chemical recycling process, affecting the recycling efficiency and product quality.
[0005] After searching, a method for preparing PETG from PETG and waste PET polyester with publication number CN114853991A was found, and the publication date is August 5, 2022. The patent proposes to depolymerize PET (polyethylene terephthalate) waste polyester raw materials to decompose them into bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET); then undergo an ester exchange reaction with methanol (MEOH) to generate the intermediate molecule DMT (dimethyl terephthalate); purify the generated DMT; after purification, the refined DMT is esterified with 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) and ethylene glycol (EG) to form bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexylmethyl terephthalate (BHCT) and bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET); and then polymerize BHET and BHCT to generate a macromolecular chain PETG polymer. However, this method requires the use of methanol for alcoholysis, and then the process is carried out under high temperature (above 200°C) and high pressure (above 0.5MPa), which consumes a lot of energy and is complicated. In addition, a large amount of methanol is required during the depolymerization process, which increases the production cost and the complexity of post-processing.
[0006] After searching, a method for recycling and degrading PETG with publication number CN113277928A was found, and the publication date is August 20, 2021. The patent proposes to crush the PETG recycled material twice, hydrolyze it in a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, and add toluene for extraction, and divide it into an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase enters the distillation tower to obtain ethylene glycol, toluene, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. After filtering the aqueous phase, anhydrous DMF and trimethoxysilyl chloride are added to produce terephthalic acid di(trimethoxysilane). The process of this method is relatively complicated, and the use of organic substances such as toluene and DMF increases the complexity of subsequent processing.
[0007] After searching, a method for preparing chemically regenerated PETG polyester with a publication number of CN114989400A was found, and the publication date is September 2, 2022. A method for preparing chemically regenerated PETG polyester is provided, and the main process is: after the PET polyester waste is crushed, it is alcoholyzed twice under the conditions of diols and catalysts, and then esterified at a temperature of 200-260°C. The esterified product is polycondensed at 260-280°C and under the action of a catalyst in a pressure range of 0.1-10kPa to obtain PETG. This process requires two alcoholysises, the process is relatively complicated, and it is an intermittent operation without continuity.
[0008] The above problems show that the existing PETG recovery methods have problems such as low recovery efficiency, increased production costs and post-processing complexity, discontinuous intermittent operation, etc. Therefore, the present invention proposes a PETG oligomer continuous recovery polymerization production system and method, which achieves efficient depolymerization and repolymerization of PETG at lower temperature and pressure by optimizing reaction conditions and process flow, and significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs.
