Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical resin and inorganic functional material coupling preparation technology, specifically to a production method for the simultaneous co-production of titanium dioxide from terpene resin. Background Technology

[0002] Terpene resins, as important green polymer materials, are widely used in adhesives, coatings, inks, and other fields. Their traditional synthesis process uses α-pinene, β-pinene, turpentine, and other raw materials, employing Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride and boron trifluoride as catalysts. However, this process suffers from the following core technical problems: (1) The catalyst cannot be recovered, resulting in serious waste of resources: After the reaction, aluminum chloride and boron trifluoride need to be washed away by water multiple times. The aluminum ions and boron ions completely enter the wastewater, which not only loses the resource value of the catalyst, but also leads to the concentration of heavy metal ions in the wastewater as high as 500-800 mg / L, increasing the subsequent treatment cost by 30%-40%.

[0003] (2) The product is difficult to separate and the quality is unstable: aluminum hydroxide flocs are generated when aluminum trichloride is washed with water. These flocs are easy to form an emulsion system with terpene resin, which is difficult to wash. It takes 4-6 water washes to make the pH of the organic phase neutral, resulting in a resin yield loss of 5%-8%. In addition, the residual aluminum ions will increase the resin color number to 7-9, affecting the application of the product in high-end fields.

[0004] (3) Product quality needs to be improved: using aluminum trichloride as a catalyst and turpentine and α-pinene as raw materials, the synthesized terpene resin is liquid with a softening point of up to 60℃; or using aluminum trichloride as a catalyst and a mixture of α-pinene and β-pinene as raw materials, the color number is above 6; if aluminum trichloride and silicon tetrachloride are mixed as catalysts, silicate crystals will appear on the glass reactor during the reaction process and cannot be washed off.

[0005] (4) Poor industrial chain synergy: Traditional processes focus only on a single product of terpene resin and do not form a linkage with other industries in the region (such as the titanium dioxide industry). The intermediate titanium tetrachloride (purity ≥95%) produced in the production of titanium dioxide often requires additional processing to obtain high-purity titanium dioxide, resulting in idle cross-industry resources.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies primarily focus on optimizing wastewater treatment processes (such as flocculation and sedimentation, and membrane separation), but fail to address the root cause of the problem of synergistic improvement in catalyst recovery and product quality. Some studies have attempted to use titanium-based catalysts, but have not established a mechanism for the co-production of titanium dioxide from terpene resins, nor have they achieved coupling and integration with the regional titanium industry, making industrialization difficult.

[0007] For example, Chinese patent document CN109721468A discloses a method for preparing terpineol by isomerization of α-pinene. This method uses a microporous aluminum silicate molecular sieve loaded with titanium chloride as a catalyst. α-pinene undergoes catalytic isomerization under the action of the catalyst. The reaction is stirred for 6-9 hours to obtain camphene mother liquor. The reaction temperature is 110℃-130℃. During the reaction, the evaporated gas is condensed and refluxed through a cooling device at the top of the reactive distillation column. This method only uses titanium chloride as a catalyst and does not address how to achieve the co-production of titanium dioxide from terpene resin, or how to prepare light-colored terpene resin and high-purity titanium dioxide. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for the simultaneous co-production of titanium dioxide from terpene resin, which recovers titanium from the catalyst and utilizes chloride ions from titanium tetrachloride to catalyze the polymerization of terpene resin. This solves the problems of unrecoverable catalysts and difficult wastewater treatment in traditional terpene resin processes, and simultaneously achieves the simultaneous co-production of high-purity titanium dioxide from light-colored terpene resin, which is convenient for regional industrial chain adaptation.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for the simultaneous co-production of titanium dioxide from terpene resin, comprising the following steps: (1) Mix organic solvent and titanium tetrachloride to obtain a mixed solution; under protective gas conditions, add pinene raw material dropwise to the mixed solution to carry out the reaction. After the reaction is completed, terpene stock solution is obtained. (2) Add water to the terpene stock solution and wash at a temperature of 70-90℃ to obtain a white turbid liquid. Filter the white turbid liquid to obtain a white filter residue and filtrate. Heat and dry the white filter residue to obtain titanium dioxide. (3) The terpene resin was separated from the filtrate.

[0010] The present invention uses titanium tetrachloride as both a catalyst and a titanium source to achieve the simultaneous co-production of titanium dioxide from terpene resin, realize catalyst recovery, and facilitate the separation of catalyst and terpene resin. In order to obtain high-purity titanium dioxide, light-colored terpene resin is obtained, thereby improving the quality of terpene resin.

[0011] In step (1), the protective gas is nitrogen or argon, etc. The protective gas is used to isolate water in the air and prevent the catalyst from being deactivated by water. In step (2), the washing temperature is 70-90℃. Below 70℃, the washing solution is emulsion-like and cannot effectively separate the organic phase and the aqueous phase; above 90℃, the water is prone to boiling and the amount of organic solvent carried by the water to evaporate increases.

[0012] The pinene raw material of this invention is added dropwise, which facilitates the obtaining of terpene resin with a uniform molecular weight distribution and ensures a high yield of terpene resin. In contrast, when α-pinene is added directly and instantaneously without dropwise addition, a large amount of exothermic reaction occurs within a few minutes, causing a rapid temperature rise in the reactor. This can lead to the following problems: the temperature exceeds the boiling point of the organic solvent, causing the material in the reactor to boil and splash out; even if the temperature does not exceed the boiling point of the organic solvent, the polymerization reaction is still highly exothermic, and after the initial exothermic peak, the temperature drops rapidly, resulting in a largely non-uniform product with low yield and a large molecular weight distribution. Even with prolonged heat preservation, such as 5 hours, polymerization only occurs in the first few minutes after the large amount of α-pinene is added; the subsequent reaction is essentially halted after the initial few minutes of exothermic reaction, resulting in low product yield.

[0013] Furthermore, the pinene raw material is α-pinene, β-pinene, or turpentine oil. The turpentine oil, such as industrial-grade turpentine oil, has a terpene content ≥87 wt.%.

[0014] Turpentine is a liquid extracted from the resin of coniferous plants through distillation or other methods. Its main components are terpenes, such as α-pinene and β-pinene, and it is suitable for the economic systems of areas rich in forestry and titanium mineral resources (such as Guangxi).

[0015] Further, in step (1), titanium tetrachloride is 1%-15% of the weight of pinene raw material, for example, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, etc.; preferably, titanium tetrachloride is 2%-10% of the weight of pinene raw material.

[0016] Further, the organic solvent is 0.3-2% of the mass of the terpene raw material, for example 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, etc., and preferably, the organic solvent is 0.9-1.2% of the mass of the terpene raw material.

[0017] Further, in step (1), under the conditions of 20-25℃ and stirring, the dropping time of pinene raw material is 1-3 hours, such as 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, etc., preferably, the dropping time of pinene raw material is 1.5-2.5 hours; After the addition is complete, continue the reaction at a constant temperature for 2-3 hours, such as 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, etc. Preferably, continue the reaction at a constant temperature for 2.5-3 hours.

[0018] Furthermore, the organic solvent is one or more of toluene, xylene, and cyclohexane.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (1), the titanium tetrachloride is derived from commercially available titanium tetrachloride or an intermediate produced by the chloride process for titanium dioxide, and the TiCl4 content of the intermediate is ≥95wt.%.

[0020] Titanium tetrachloride is an intermediate produced by the chloride process of titanium dioxide. Because the TiCl4 content of this intermediate is ≥95wt.%, its purity is high and can meet the reaction requirements, making it easy to combine with the production of titanium dioxide by the chloride process.

[0021] Furthermore, the titanium dioxide contains ≥98% TiO2. The production method of this invention facilitates the acquisition of high-purity titanium dioxide.

[0022] Further, in step (3), the filtrate is dehydrated and washed until neutral, then distilled and stripped to obtain terpene resin. The terpene resin has a color of 3-6, such as 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.; preferably, the terpene resin has a color of 3-4. The generation method of the present invention facilitates the acquisition of light-colored terpene resin.

[0023] Further, in step (2), water of equal mass to the organic solvent is added to the terpene stock solution for washing; and the solution is dried at 170-200°C for 1.5-3 hours.

[0024] Furthermore, in step (2), the washing temperature is 70-90℃, such as 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, etc.; preferably, the washing temperature is 80-90℃.

[0025] The above-described technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention solves the problems of catalyst non-recovery and wastewater treatment difficulties in traditional terpene resin processes. It also realizes the resource utilization of titanium, optimizes the appearance quality of terpene resin, and produces terpene resin with a color number of 3-6, thus reducing the color number in Ghana and broadening the application fields of terpene resin.

[0026] The titanium tetrachloride of this invention has the dual functions of "catalytic polymerization" and "titanium source supply"—Cl - As the Lewis acid active center, it forms a coordination intermediate with the double bond of the terpene raw material, promoting the cationic polymerization reaction; Ti 4+ It is converted into TiO2 during the hydrolysis stage, thus avoiding the waste of metal ions in traditional catalysts.

[0027] This invention ensures a synergistic improvement in the selectivity of the polymerization reaction (PDI of terpene resin molecular weight distribution = 1.8-2.2) and the purity of titanium dioxide (TiO2 ≥ 98%) by linking three parameters: temperature, catalyst dosage, and dropping rate.

[0028] The pinene raw material of this invention can be turpentine oil, and the titanium tetrachloride can be titanium tetrachloride intermediate produced by the chloride process of titanium dioxide. This facilitates regional industrial chain adaptation and is especially suitable for the circular economy system in areas rich in forestry and titanium ore resources (such as Guangxi). It realizes the efficient utilization of terpene raw materials and titanium-based catalysts and the reduction of pollutants. For example, by using local turpentine oil in Guangxi (annual output of over 100,000 tons) as terpene raw material and using titanium tetrachloride intermediate from local chloride process titanium dioxide plants (such as a titanium company in Guangxi), the raw material transportation cost can be reduced (by 15%-20%), forming a regional circular chain of "turpentine oil processing → terpene resin → titanium dioxide".
