Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rosin deep processing technology, and relates to a preparation process and application of rosin glycerol ester. Background Technology

[0002] Rosin possesses excellent properties such as thickening, emulsification, softening, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation, making it widely used in industry. However, it also has drawbacks, including high sensitivity to heat and light, poor aging resistance, easy oxidation, high acid value, and low softening point, which limit its industrial applications. To improve the application value of rosin, it is necessary to modify it to produce rosin esters with excellent properties such as low acid value, high softening point, strong thermal stability, and resistance to acids and alkalis. The main component of rosin is abietic acid, which can undergo esterification reactions with alcohols. Because the carboxyl group of rosin is located on a tertiary carbon atom, it results in large steric hindrance and high activation energy, making the esterification reaction conditions quite harsh. Therefore, selecting a highly active catalyst is crucial in the rosin esterification process. Summary of the Invention

[0066] Performance testing

[0067] Esterification rate test: The rosin glycerides prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were used as samples. The determination method was as follows: Weigh approximately 2g (accurate to 0.001g) of the pulverized sample (after removing the outer surface) into a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask, add 50mL of neutral benzene-ethanol solution to dissolve it (if necessary, gently heat until the sample is completely dissolved and then cool), add 4-5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator, and then titrate with 0.05mol / L potassium hydroxide ethanol standard solution until a faint red color persists for 30 seconds. Neutral benzene-ethanol solution: Mix benzene and anhydrous ethanol (analytical grade) at a volume ratio of 2:1, use phenolphthalein as an indicator (add two drops per 100mL), and titrate with 0.05mol / L potassium hydroxide ethanol standard solution until a faint red color persists for 30 seconds. 1% phenolphthalein indicator: Weigh 1.0g of phenolphthalein, dissolve it in anhydrous ethanol (analytical grade), and dilute with anhydrous ethanol (analytical grade) to 100mL. 0.05 mol / L potassium hydroxide ethanol standard solution: Weigh 2.8 g of analytical grade potassium hydroxide, dissolve it in a small amount of CO2-free water, add anhydrous ethanol to 1000 mL, and shake well;

[0068] The formula for calculating the acid value X1 (mg KOH) is: X1 = V × M × 56.11 / W, where: V - the volume of potassium hydroxide ethanol standard solution consumed during titration, mL; M - the concentration of potassium hydroxide ethanol standard solution, mol / L; W - the mass of the sample, g; 56.11 - the equivalent amount of 1 mL of 1 mol / L potassium hydroxide, mg. Esterification rate % = [(initial acid value - product acid value) / initial acid value] × 100%. Additionally, the catalysts used in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 five times were tested according to the above method to determine the esterification rate % of the synthesized rosin glycerol esters, and labeled as A. The results of the esterification rate % are shown in Table 1.

[0069] Table 1 Test Results

[0070]

[0071] Analysis of the results in Table 1 shows that the esterification rates of Examples 1-3 are higher than those of Comparative Examples 1-5, indicating that the catalysts of Examples 1-3 have excellent activity and durability. Comparative Examples 1-2 used only silver nitrate or cerium nitrate solutions to load a single metal atom onto the molecular sieve, reducing the proportion of L-acid. The increase in Brønsted acid led to catalyst deactivation due to water binding, resulting in a significant decrease in esterification rate and a substantial reduction in activity after repeated use. Comparative Example 3 used short-chain methylsiloxanes to modify the hydrophobicity of the molecular sieve. Its poor hydrophobicity slowed the forward propagation of the reaction equilibrium, leading to a decrease in esterification rate. Comparative Examples 4-5 used long-chain methylsiloxanes and phenylsiloxanes, both of which have good hydrophobicity, but their larger molecular structures created significant steric hindrance in the molecular sieve, reducing its porosity and affecting activity. This invention increases the proportion of L-acid by loading with dual metal atoms, while simultaneously introducing a highly hydrophobic and sterically unhindered trifluoropropyltrimethoxysilane, thereby improving the conversion rate of rosin glycerol esters and enhancing the activity of the catalyst after repeated use.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
