Description

A method for preparing recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of recycled polyester synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing a recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester. Background Technology

[0002] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used but extremely difficult-to-degrade polymer. Its degradation time under natural conditions is extremely long, leading to serious environmental pollution problems. Therefore, to address these issues, existing technologies have proposed recycling and reuse solutions for PET.

[0003] Currently, PET recycling mainly employs chemical alcoholysis. For example, CN106113319A discloses a recycling process for waste textiles containing polyester. This technology uses ethylene glycol to alcoholyze PET waste, followed by esterification, polycondensation, and multi-stage filtration to obtain recycled polyester. To expand the application range of recycled polyester, existing technologies also provide methods for preparing recycled cationic polyester. For instance, CN107652422B discloses a method for preparing recycled cationic dyeable polyester using waste polyester alcoholysis. This method uses alcoholysis to alcoholyze PET waste and then uses the alcoholysis product to prepare recycled cationic dyeable polyester. Because the diethyl terephthalate (BHET) obtained from the alcoholysis of PET waste is extremely weakly polar, it is difficult for BHET to polymerize with the three monomers, and the three monomers are prone to agglomeration. Therefore, existing methods for preparing recycled cationic dyeable polyester typically first convert BHET into an ester, and then esterify, prepolymerize, and polycondense the BHET ester with the three monomers and polyethylene glycol comonomers.

[0004] Cationic dyeable polyesters suffer from poor opacity, thus conventional techniques typically require the addition of opacifying agents to produce matte or semi-matte cationic dyeable polyesters. However, this invention, when directly synthesizing regenerated matte cationic polyester in situ using BHET, three monomers, and titanium dioxide, revealed significant problems with self-polymerization of the three monomers and agglomeration of titanium dioxide in the reaction system, hindering continuous polymerization and spinning. Furthermore, the regenerated cationic polyester exhibited poor color difference and spinnability. Additionally, this invention, when using the method disclosed in CN107652422B to prepare regenerated matte cationic dyeable polyester, found that the use of titanium dioxide also resulted in agglomerated particles in the polyester product, preventing continuous polymerization. Therefore, providing a method for preparing regenerated matte cationic polyester is of significant importance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method for preparing recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester. The method involves in-situ polymerization of BHET with a degree of polymerization of 2-4 with three monomers, an ether-type stabilizer, and an oxidant to prepare the recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester. The ether-type stabilizer can reduce the catalytic degradation of polyester by metal salt impurities in BHET and the oxidation of small molecules into colored impurities at high temperatures. It also reduces impurities generated by the self-polymerization of the three monomers in the polyester, improving the color value and spinnability of the recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester. After polymerization onto the polyester, the ether-type stabilizer can form microbranched molecular segments. The spatial confinement effect of these microbranched molecular segments can limit the aggregation and self-polymerization of titanium dioxide and the three monomers, thereby improving the quality of the recycled matte cationic polyester product.

[0006] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a method for preparing a recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester, comprising the following steps: alcoholystolysis of BHET to prepare a polymeric monomer with a degree of polymerization of 2 to 4; then subjecting the polymeric monomer, ether stabilizer and oxidant to a first esterification reaction to prepare ester one; then adding titanium dioxide and trimonomer to the ester to conduct a second esterification reaction to prepare ester two; then subjecting ester two to a first polycondensation reaction and a second polycondensation reaction, and then performing melt direct spinning to prepare a recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester.

[0007] Preferably, the ether stabilizer is one or more of phenyl glycidyl ether, trimethoxy(3-(glycidyl ether)propyl)silane, bisphenol A bisglycidyl ether, and tetra(phenyl glycidyl ether).

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of the ether stabilizer to BHET is 1:5000~10000.

[0009] Preferably, the antioxidant is one or more of phosphite, antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 1076 and antioxidant 1098.

[0010] Preferably, the mass ratio of antioxidant to BHET is 1:100000~300000.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of titanium dioxide to BHET is 0.2~3:100.

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of the three monomers to BHET is 1~4:100.

[0013] Preferably, the three monomers are one of isophthalic acid-5-sulfonic acid (SIPA) and sodium dihydroxyethyl isophthalate-5-sulfonate (SIPE).

[0014] As a preferred option, the alcoholysis conditions include: a depolymerization temperature of 220~250 ℃, a pressure of 40-80 Kpa, and a mass ratio of ethylene glycol to BHET of 0.05~0.1:1.

[0015] Preferably, the temperature of the first esterification reaction is 240~260 ℃, the pressure of the first esterification reaction is 0.4~1 bar, and the time of the first esterification reaction is 3~5 h.

[0016] Preferably, the temperature of the second esterification reaction is 210~250 °C, the pressure of the second esterification reaction is 0.05~0.5 bar, and the time of the second esterification reaction is 3~5 h.

[0017] Preferably, the temperature of the first-stage polycondensation is 270~280 ℃, the pressure of the first-stage polycondensation is 700~1200 Pa, and the reaction time of the first-stage polycondensation is 2~5 h.

[0018] Preferably, the temperature of the second-stage polycondensation is 270~280 ℃, the pressure of the second-stage polycondensation is 100~300 Pa, and the reaction time of the second-stage polycondensation is 1~3 h.

[0019] This invention provides a method for preparing recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester. The method uses BHET with a degree of polymerization of 2 to 4, along with three monomers, a stabilizer, and an oxidant, to carry out in-situ polymerization to prepare recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester. This method solves the problems of poor color value, unstable spinning, and easy self-agglomeration and agglomeration of titanium dioxide and three monomers to form large particles of gel in recycled cationic polyester, and significantly improves the quality and spinnability of recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester.

[0020] This invention employs stabilizers and antioxidants. The stabilizer is an ether-type stabilizer, which, after polymerization onto the polyester molecular chain, forms microbranched molecular segments. These microbranched segments create a network-like spatial confinement, restricting the free movement of titanium dioxide in the melt, thereby weakening the agglomeration between titanium dioxide and the three monomers. It also inhibits the self-polymerization of polar three monomers during the polycondensation of non-polar polymers, significantly reducing the formation of large agglomerates. The antioxidant has reducing properties, reducing the catalytic degradation of polyester by metal salt impurities in the recovered BHET and the oxidation of small molecules at high temperatures. It inhibits the oxidation of the three monomers at high temperatures, blocks oxidation chain reactions, significantly reduces colored impurities and yellowing, and significantly improves the color stability of the polyester. The antioxidant also inhibits the dehydration of ethylene glycol to diethylene glycol during esterification, preventing excessive diethylene glycol from lowering the polyester melting point and improving dyeing uniformity.

[0021] Furthermore, the stabilizer and antioxidant in this invention have a synergistic effect. When the phenyl glycidyl ether in the stabilizer and the phosphite in the antioxidant are used in combination, they can significantly reduce the aggregated particles in the polyester melt, significantly reduce the DF value of the polyester, enable the recycled matting cationic polyester to be melt-spun directly, and significantly reduce the b value of the matting cationic polyester, thus significantly inhibiting the yellowing effect of the matting cationic polyester.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following technical effects: (1) This method uses BHET with a degree of polymerization of 2~4 with three monomers, stabilizers and oxidants to prepare raw matte cationic dyeable polyester in situ polymerization, which solves the problems of poor color value, unstable spinning and easy self-polymerization and agglomeration of titanium dioxide and three monomers to form large particles of gel, and significantly improves the quality and spinnability of the recycled matte cationic dyeable polyester.

[0023] (2) The stabilizers and antioxidants used in this method have a synergistic effect. When the phenyl glycidyl ether in the stabilizer and the phosphite in the antioxidant are used in combination, no aggregated particles are generated in the polyester melt, the polyester DF value can be significantly reduced, the recycled matting cationic polyester can be melt-spun directly, the b value of the matting cationic polyester can be significantly reduced, and the yellowing effect of the matting cationic polyester can be significantly inhibited.

[0024] (3) This method is simple in process, easy to operate, easy to control and industrialized. Detailed Implementation

The temperature of the first stage of polycondensation reaction is 278 ℃ and the pressure of the first stage of polycondensation reaction is 200 Pa; the melt is granulated underwater to produce recycled matte cationic polyester chips.

[0039] Test Example: The properties of the recycled matte cationic polyester chips obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were tested. The test methods were in accordance with the methods disclosed in "FZ / T 51019-2021 Polyester Fiber Masterbatch". The test items included intrinsic viscosity, melting point end carboxyl groups, diethylene glycol aggregates, b-value, and melt pressure filtration value (DF value). The test results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Test Results of Recycled Matte Cationic Polyester Chips As shown in Table 1, the DF values ​​of the recycled matte cationic polyesters obtained in Examples 1-5 are 0.26-0.35, which are comparable to those of the bright cationic polyesters. This indicates that the recycled matte cationic polyesters obtained in this invention have good titanium dioxide distribution in the melt and no agglomerated particles in the melt, which will not cause the melt pressure to rise and can be used for melt direct spinning.

[0040] In Comparative Example 1, the recycled BHET was not depolymerized. The results showed that the resulting recycled matte cationic polyester had a melt DF value of 0.9, 4.8 aggregated particles / mg, and a b-value of 6.5. From the results of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, it can be seen that the recycled matte cationic polyester obtained by not depolymerizing BHET has a large color difference value, and the high melt pressure makes direct melt spinning impossible. Further analysis revealed that the reason for these phenomena is that the undepolymerized BHET has a high degree of polymerization. The higher the degree of polymerization of BHET, the lower its polarity, which significantly increases the difficulty of polymerization with the three monomers. The three monomers are more prone to self-polymerization. Furthermore, the microbranched network structure formed by the stabilizer and the undepolymerized BHET is more loose, and its spatial confinement effect on the three monomers and titanium dioxide is limited, failing to completely prevent the formation of aggregated particles in the polymer. In addition, the high impurity content in the undepolymerized BHET leads to a high color difference value in the resulting matte cationic polyester.

[0041] Comparative Examples 2 and 3 represent technical solutions without stabilizers and antioxidants, respectively. The results showed that stabilizers have a highly significant effect on the formation of aggregated particles and the increase in DF value. Antioxidants also have a certain effect on the formation of aggregated particles and DF value, but the effect is relatively small. Antioxidants, on the other hand, have a significant effect on reducing the polyester b-value. Furthermore, the results from Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3, and Example 1 indicate that stabilizers, antioxidants, and BHET depolymerization must all meet certain conditions simultaneously to ensure that the recycled matte cationic polyester melt is completely free of aggregated particles, thus fully meeting the requirements for melt spinning.

[0042] Comparative Examples 4 and 5 employed techniques with excessive stabilizers and antioxidants. The results showed that excessive stabilizer led to the formation of aggregated particles in the regenerated matte cationic polyester melt, resulting in a significant increase in the DF value and b-value. This is because excessive stabilizer causes over-branching, leading to reduced melt fluidity, the formation of gels in the polymerization system by the three monomers, and significant yellowing of the polyester. Excessive anti-stabilizers, on the other hand, inhibited catalyst activity, making polyester polycondensation and thickening difficult.

[0043] Comparative Example 6 investigated the effect of excessively high esterification temperature on melt pressure increase. When the esterification temperature is too high, titanium dioxide is prone to agglomeration, and side reactions such as self-polymerization are likely to occur after the addition of the three monomers. Ultimately, the number of agglomerated impurities in the melt increases, and the melt pressure rises.

[0044] Comparative Example 7 investigated the amount of ethylene glycol used during the depolymerization of BHET. The results showed that adding excessive ethylene glycol during depolymerization led to problems such as lower acid value after esterification, longer polymerization residence time, difficulty in thickening during polycondensation resulting in lower product viscosity, increased agglomerates leading to increased melt pressure, and a yellowish polyester color.
