This invention proposes a composite complexing agent for ultra-clean
polypropylene, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method includes synthesizing a carboxyl-containing organophosphonate
monomer; synthesizing a bisβ-
diketone derivative; dissolving the organophosphonate
monomer and the bisβ-
diketone derivative in
hexane solvent, adding a
phase transfer catalyst, and mixing to obtain the composite complexing agent. This invention achieves efficient removal of
metal ash ions such as
titanium,
magnesium, and aluminum through a synergistic complexing mechanism, while ensuring that the physical properties of
polypropylene are not affected. The phosphonic acid groups in the carboxyl-containing organophosphonate
monomer have a significant effect on the removal of
titanium ash ions. 4+ Exhibiting strong chelating ability, the β-
diketone structure in the bisβ-diketone derivative has a strong effect on Mg. 2+ Al 3+ Exhibiting specific complexing properties, both TBAB and
polypropylene work synergistically to achieve highly efficient removal of multi-
metal ions. TBAB promotes the
diffusion of the complexing agent within
polymer particles, significantly improving deashing efficiency. The
hexane solvent system is compatible with polypropylene production processes, is easily recyclable, and leaves no residue, meeting
green chemistry requirements.
