    Hydrolysis resistant titanium-catalysts: Preparation and process optimized in synthesis of PBT

    • 摘要: 以钛酸四丁酯(TBT)为钛源、柠檬酸(CA)为螯合剂,通过配位反应,合成了一种新型耐水解钛系催化剂(TC)。以传统聚对苯二甲酸丁二酯(PBT)合成用催化剂TBT作为对照,详细考察了TC含量等工艺参数对合成的PBT产物中的端羧基含量(―COOH)、特性黏度(η)、酯化液中四氢呋喃(THF)含量等关键性能的影响。研究结果表明:当TC催化剂含量(相对于对苯二甲酸)为0.2%,酯化温度/时间为230℃/2 h,缩聚温度/时间为255℃/2.5 h时,PBT产物综合性能达到最优。例如,η高达0.76 dL·g−1,表明产物具有较高的分子量和良好的力学性能;―COOH含量低至20.88 mmol·kg−1,说明产物耐水解稳定性优异;THF含量仅为8.86%,表明副反应得到有效抑制,原料利用率提高。此外,水解试验表明TC催化剂在高温和高湿度条件下仍具有优异的耐水解性能。综上,自制钛系催化剂在提升PBT产物质量、降低生产能耗及增强材料稳定性方面表现出明显优势,为其在高端聚酯材料领域的工业化应用展现出广阔的市场前景。

       

      Abstract: A novel hydrolysis-resistant titanium-based catalysts (TC) were synthesized via coordination reaction, utilizing tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) as the titanium source and citric acid (CA) as the chelating agent. In comparison with traditional TBT catalyst, the effects of process parameters such as TC content on key parameters of PBT products during synthesis were investigated in detail, including the terminal carboxyl group content (―COOH), intrinsic viscosity (η), and the content of tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the esterification solution. The results demonstrated that the optimal PBT performance was achieved when the addition amount of TC catalyst is 2% (vs. p-phthalic acid), temploying esterification at 230℃ for 2 h, and the polycondensation at 255℃ for 2.5 h. For example, the η reached as high as 0.76 dL·g−1, indicating that the product has a high molecular weight and good mechanical properties; the content of ―COOH was as low as 27.88 mmol·kg−1, demonstrating superior hydrolysis resistance; the THF content was only 8.86%, indicating that side reactions has been effectively suppressed and the utilization rate of raw materials has been improved. Furthermore, the hydrolysis test demonstrated that the TC catalyst still exhibited excellent hydrolysis resistance under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. In conclusion, the self-developed titanium-based catalysts demonstrate significant advantages in enhancing the quality of PBT products, reducing production energy consumption, and improving the stability of the materials, showing a promising potential for industrial applications in high-performance polyester materials.
