The invention belongs to the technical field of
chemical production, aims to solve the problem of catalyst deactivation caused by
crystallization and wrapping in the existing hydrogenated
bisphenol A (HBPA) production process, and provides a
star polymer for inhibiting
crystallization and wrapping in the HBPA production process as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
star polymer provided by the invention takes a polyfunctional group compound (such as
pentaerythritol and
diethylenetriamine) as a core, a
polyacrylic acid main chain with the molecular weight of 5,000-20,000 g / mol is extended, a
polyethylene glycol
side chain with the molecular weight of 500-2,000 g / mol and the
grafting rate of 20%-50% is grafted on the main chain, and through the
hydrogen-bond interaction of a
carboxylic acid group and HBPA crystals and the steric hindrance effect of the
polyethylene glycol
side chain, the molecular weight of the HBPA crystals is increased, so that the molecular weight of the HBPA crystals is increased, and the molecular weight of the HBPA crystals is increased.
Devitrification wrapping is efficiently inhibited. The invention develops a method which is efficient and environment-friendly and does not introduce new impurities, is used for inhibiting the
crystallization wrapping phenomenon in the hydrogenated
bisphenol A production process, and has important industrial application value.
