The preparation method of catalyst of large porous strong acid cation exchange resin
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of catalyst of large porous strong acid cation exchange resin, relating to a kind of organic catalytic reactions such as etherificate that are used for specifically, is that the pore-foaming agent synthesizing styrene is the method for catalyst of large porous strong acid cation exchange resin with the low-carbon alcohols compounds.
The polystyrene large porous strong acid cation exchange resin is widely used in the organic catalytic reactions such as etherificate, esterification, hydrolysis, and the quality of pore structure directly influences activity of such catalysts and selectivity.Suitable catalyst is this area research personnel's the common objective of the struggle how to prepare pore structure, and the processing of the selection of pore-foaming agent and preparation technology's central hole structure is the key that reaches this target in the polymerization formula.
The technology of traditional preparation process large hole cation exchanger resin is divided into polymerization and sulfonation two parts.
Promptly in the presence of pore-foaming agent, styrene and multi-vinyl monomer suspension polymerisation generate the technology of macroporous copolymer Archon to polymeric part, and the pore-foaming agent that adopts divides following several usually:
(1) can dissolve each other with polymerization single polymerization monomer and the organic solvent of swollen polymer not, claim poor solvent, as gasoline, C
5~C
6Alkane, C
5~C
12Fatty alcohol etc.The resin aperture of adopting such pore-foaming agent to make is big, specific area is less.
(2) can dissolve each other with polymerization single polymerization monomer and organic solvent that can swollen polymer, claim good solvent, as benzene and homologue thereof etc.The resin aperture of making is less, specific area is bigger.
(3) linear polymer of mono-vinyl monomer, as polystyrene etc., the resin pore structure of making is more even, but that pore-foaming agent is difficult to extracting is clean, and the extraction process more complicated.
(4) in order to adjust pore structure, good solvent and poor solvent are used.
Use above-mentioned pore-foaming agent in the polymerization,, all will carry out the swelling reaming to Archon before the sulfonation with organic solvents such as chlorohydrocarbons though can make the Archon of required pore structure.So just, need increase the operation that a chlorohydrocarbon reclaims, not only operating process is loaded down with trivial details, and used chlorohydrocarbon toxicity is bigger, can produce harmful effect to operating environment.
After polymerization technique finished, traditional method was generally all dry with the Archon washing, directly uses chlorohydrocarbon reaming, sulfonation.In fact, the small organic molecule impurity that also residual a part of pore-foaming agent, dispersant and polymerization single polymerization monomer carry in the Archon duct, simply wash with water, be difficult to it is removed clean, they are attached on the hole wall, sulfonating reaction is formed one deck barrier, hinder combining of carbon atom on sulfonic acid group and the phenyl ring, cause the resin exchange capacity reduction.Simultaneously some small molecular weight impurity can be sulfonated equally, forms unsettled active constituent, cause resin in use active constituent constantly run off, influence catalytic effect.
Chinese patent CN1032017A proposes the synthetic making large-pore white balls used method of the part or all of replace organic solvent of water, can save the reaming step of back, but the Archon intensity of making is too low, is used for organic catalytic reaction after the sulfonation, anti-breaking capacity is too poor, can not satisfy the catalytic reaction requirement well.
Chinese patent CN1076385A proposes a kind of method of purifying copolymer structure, can slow down the loss of resin active constituent, promptly uses C
1~C
4Halogenated hydrocarbons was with copolymer swelling 0.5~5.0 hour, again the copolymer after the swelling is moved in the benzene series solvent of 1.5~4.0 times of volumes, handled 3~20 hours in 0.1~5.0MPa and 130 ℃~200 ℃, handled 3~20 hours down in similarity condition with absolute ethyl alcohol, washing is dry at last.This processing method not only can be disposed organic impurities in the hole, also the linear molecule chain in the polymer is all extracted simultaneously, has changed the original grid structure of polymer.Therefore this processing method has also played the effect that increases hole and reaming, and the polymer that the degree of cross linking is low is more handled its pore structure of back and changed more greatly.But this processing method operating process more complicated, and can cause the loss of benzene series solvent and ethanol to a certain extent.
The objective of the invention is the problem at above-mentioned existence, a kind of simple economy is provided, preparation has greater activity and optionally, is used for the method for the catalyst of large porous strong acid cation exchange resin of organic catalytic reaction.
