Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis technology of fine chemicals, and more specifically, to a method for synthesizing polyether polyols. Background Technology

[0002] Typical polyether polyols obtained through reaction using compounds containing hydroxyl and amino groups, such as glycerol and ethylenediamine, as feedstocks, and propylene oxide and ethylene oxide as reactants, have wide applications in industry. After ring-opening polymerization, the methyl groups in the propylene oxide molecule are lipophilic, while the fragments in the ethylene oxide molecule are hydrophilic. Therefore, this type of product possesses both lipophilic and hydrophilic properties. By adjusting the ratio of these two compounds, the hydrophilic and lipophilic properties can be controlled to meet different application scenarios. However, the adjustment range is ultimately limited, and in some fields, it cannot meet the performance requirements of the product.

[0003] Nonylphenol and octylphenol-based polyoxyethylene ethers, which subsequently developed, are also important fine chemicals. They are frequently used as surfactants, emulsifiers, wetting agents, and defoamers, finding significant applications in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, textiles, and dyeing, bringing convenience to industrial production and daily life. These substances are typically produced by reacting nonylphenol and octylphenol with ethylene oxide to form polyoxyethylene ethers, a typical type of polyether polyol. However, with advancements in technology and increased awareness, the drawbacks of these chemicals have become increasingly apparent. Their molecular structure contains only one hydroxyl group, resulting in a functionality of 1, limiting their ability to modify molecular structures. Furthermore, nonylphenol and octylphenol-based polyoxyethylene ethers may undergo partial degradation during use, producing nonylphenol and octylphenol, which are endocrine disruptors that negatively impact the endogenous secretions of animals and humans. In recent years, the international community has paid close attention to this issue and has successively introduced corresponding laws and regulations to strictly restrict their use. Therefore, developing appropriate polyether polyol substitutes that meet both application performance requirements and environmental and safety requirements is an important research direction for high-end polyether polyol products in the near future. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to avoid the environmental hazards of nonylphenol and octylphenol-based polyoxyethylene ethers and to provide an environmentally friendly method for synthesizing polyether polyols. Based on the structural characteristics of 4-n-hexylresorcinol raw material, the method rationally designs and controls the quantity, mixing method, and connection order of grafted propylene oxide and ethylene oxide. Using a suitable catalytic environment and steps, 4-n-hexylresorcinol-based polyether polyols are obtained. The product's molecular structure contains a feedstock-mixing segment-propylene oxide and ethylene oxide block, allowing for the control of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. This type of product has the advantage of adjustable parameters such as viscosity, hydroxyl value, relative molecular mass, and HLB value, and has broad potential applications in surfactants, emulsifiers, and polyurethane materials, and can replace the use of endocrine disruptors such as nonylphenol and octylphenol-based polyoxyethylene ethers.
