Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical material preparation, and particularly relates to a purification method and application of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. Background Art

[0002] The material properties of polyethylene furandicarboxylate (PEF) have been studied by a large number of research institutions. Compared with the petroleum-based analogue polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PEF has a higher glass transition temperature (about 87 °C) and better physical and chemical properties. What attracts the most attention is its amazing water vapor barrier performance. The oxygen barrier of PEF is 10 times that of PET, the carbon dioxide barrier of PEF is 6 to 10 times that of PET, and the water resistance of PEF is 2 times that of PET. Although its performance is excellent, at present, the PEF prepared by esterification and melt polycondensation of FDCA (2,5-furandicarboxylic acid) and ethylene glycol will all change color, producing PEF products ranging from amber, brown to black.

[0003] It has been found through research that the color change of PEF products is mainly related to the residual amounts of organic impurities and inorganic impurities in the monomers. Among them, organic impurities such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) produce oxidation intermediates through insufficient oxidation: 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA), 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), etc., and inorganic impurities such as catalysts and raw material monomers used in the preparation of FDCA: impurities such as iron, copper, and tin. The existence of the above impurities will cause color reaction and uncontrollable side reactions during the polymerization process, resulting in the coloring of the final polyester product. Therefore, the purification treatment of FDCA is crucial for the quality of downstream products.

[0004] There are currently studies on the purification of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. For example, Patent CN115028610B discloses a purification method of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, which includes mixing crude FDCA, a metal ion remover, and a recrystallization solvent, heating and fully dissolving FDCA under the protection of an inert gas, then cooling and crystallizing, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain preliminarily refined FDCA; then, under the protection of an inert gas, the preliminarily refined FDCA is dissolved in a solvent, and a hydrogenation reaction is carried out under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst and hydrogen, and then cooling and crystallizing, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain pure 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. This process conducts metal ion remover treatment and enhanced washing before the hydrogenation reaction to avoid hydrogenation catalyst poisoning, but the loss of the catalyst during the hydrogenation process will lead to the introduction of new impurities. Patent CN118184613A discloses a purification method of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, which includes adding unpurified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid to mixed solvent I, heating and stirring, then filtering out the solid matter, adding it to mixed solvent II, stirring at room temperature, filtering, washing with water, and drying to obtain purified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. This process washes 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid with a mixed solvent, which can only wash away organic impurities. Inorganic impurities are insoluble in the mixed solvent, so the finally purified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid still contains inorganic impurities, resulting in uncontrollable side reactions during the polymerization process and causing the polyester to be colored.

[0005] In summary, to improve the polymerization performance of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and solve the problem of polyester product coloring, it is urgent to find an efficient purification method for 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid to remove trace impurities in 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a purification method and application of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, which can effectively remove trace impurities in 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and solve the problem of polyester coloring during the polymerization of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A purification method of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, comprising the following steps: Alkaline dissolution: Dissolve unpurified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in an alkaline solution to prepare a 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid alkaline solution; Decolorization: Add activated carbon to the 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid alkaline solution, heat to 25-40 °C and stir. After stirring evenly, filter to obtain the decolorized 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid alkaline solution; Acid precipitation: An acidic aqueous solution is added to the decolorized alkaline solution of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid for acidification. The pH value is controlled to be ≤2, and the acidification temperature is controlled within 50°C. The solid of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid gradually precipitates to obtain the acidified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid mixture. The acidified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid mixture is suction filtered to obtain the crude 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid; Impurity removal: Add 2 - 5 times the mass fraction of pure water to the crude 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, and add a metal chelating agent of 0.05 - 1% of the mass fraction of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. Heat up to 25 - 100°C, stir for 20 - 180 min, then cool down to 60°C and filter to obtain 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid; Water washing: Add 2 - 5 times the mass fraction of pure water to the 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid after impurity removal. Heat up to 25 - 100°C, stir for 20 - 180 min, then cool down to 60°C and filter to obtain 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid; Crystallization: Add 2 - 5 times the mass fraction of pure water to the 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid obtained after water washing. Heat up to 80 - 100°C, stir for 20 - 180 min, then cool down at a rate of 20°C / h to 0 - 20°C and filter. The wet solid obtained is dried to obtain the purified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

[0008] In the above steps, the three steps of alkali dissolution, water washing, and crystallization need to be treated by introducing oxygen. The oxygen is an oxygen-rich gas with an oxygen concentration greater than 21% or pure oxygen.

[0009] The alkaline solution is one or more of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and potassium hydroxide aqueous solution. The concentration of the alkaline aqueous solution is 1 - 10 mol / L, and the addition amount is 1 - 5 times the mass fraction of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

[0010] The particle size of the activated carbon is 10 - 200 mesh, and the addition amount is 7% - 15% of the mass fraction of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

[0011] The acidic aqueous solution is an inorganic acid aqueous solution, and the inorganic acid is one or more of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid.

[0012] The metal chelating agent is one or more of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate and tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

[0013] The method for synthesizing polyethylene furandicarboxylate using the purified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid obtained by the above purification method includes the following steps: Slurrying: Add the purified 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, ethylene glycol, and germanium oxide into the polymerization kettle. Control the temperature in the kettle at 100 - 150°C and slurry for 20 - 40 min to obtain a mixed slurry; Esterification: Continuously raise the temperature of the reaction kettle to 195 - 210 °C for esterification reaction to obtain an esterification product; Polycondensation: Add a stabilizer to the esterification product. After stirring for 10 - 30 min, raise the temperature of the reaction kettle to 240 - 250 °C. After pre-polycondensation and polycondensation, polyethylene furandicarboxylate is obtained.

[0014] Among them, the molar ratio of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, ethylene glycol, and germanium oxide is 1:(1.2 - 1.8):(0.0005 - 0.001).

[0015] The stabilizer is one or more of triphenyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, and trimethyl phosphate, and the addition amount is 0.03 - 0.05% of the mass fraction of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The present invention provides a purification method and application of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. In the present invention, trace chromogenic impurities in 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid are removed by decolorization with activated carbon. At the same time, by introducing oxygen-rich gas in the three steps of alkali dissolution, water washing, and crystallization, organic impurities and inorganic impurities in 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid undergo oxidation reactions. The oxidized inorganic impurities undergo chelation reactions with metal chelating agents during the impurity removal process to form water-soluble metal impurities, and the oxidized organic impurities form water-soluble impurities. Further, through the water washing and crystallization processes, water-soluble organic impurities and water-soluble metal inorganic impurities are removed; 3.
