Technical Field

Background
Polyisobutene is a product obtained by cationic polymerization of the monomer isobutene, and is a linear saturated polymer. The polyisobutene has three molecular weight products of high, medium and low, the high molecular weight polyisobutene is white solid, the medium molecular weight polyisobutene is semisolid, the glass transition temperature is 198K-243K, the elasticity can be kept at the temperature of minus 50 ℃, and the polyisobutene has excellent weather resistance, insulating property, cold flow property, ultraviolet resistance and chemical inertness. The polyisobutene with medium molecular weight is widely applied to the fields of shockproof damping adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, chewing gum and the like. The food-grade polyisobutene with medium molecular weight is an important branch of downstream application of polyisobutene products, and has huge market demand, but the products are required to be tasteless and have no biotoxicity, do not contain any heavy metals, and cannot generate potential danger to human bodies.
In the synthesis process of the polyisobutene with medium molecular weight, alCl 3、BF3 and the like are generally used as positive ion polymerization initiators, and the catalysts have high toxicity, and the key point is that the initiators are difficult to remove, so that the residual metal content in the material is high, and the quality of the product, especially the quality of the material applied to the food field, is greatly influenced.
In the prior art, feCl 3 and an oxygen-containing compound react in a second organic solvent to form a FeCl 3 complex, and titanium tetrachloride is added to be mixed to obtain a compound initiator solution, so that the polyisobutene with medium molecular weight can be prepared under the condition of relatively high temperature, but the method does not completely get rid of the use of heavy metal catalysts. A further initiator system comprising FeCl 3 and complexing agent is used for preparing polyisobutene with high reactivity and its copolymer with number average molecular weight of 500-6000 g/mol, but the core idea of this process is to promote chain transfer to obtain low molecular weight products, which does not provide a new process for preparing polyisobutene with medium molecular weight.

Wherein the carbocation active center is stabilized and chain transfer is suppressed by adding a third component, and narrow molecular weight distribution control can be achieved
The conversion rate of the intermediate molecular weight polyisobutene prepared by the method is more than 85%.
In the polyisobutene with medium molecular weight prepared by the method, the content of the measured residual metal ions is only 10% of the residual amount of other traditional catalysts. The residual metal ions in the polymer can be rapidly removed in a simple post-treatment process, and the final ion removal rate can reach 100%.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, in the preparation method of the food-grade medium molecular weight polyisobutene, the ferric trichloride hexahydrate in the initiator system is crystal water saturated ferric trichloride and is prepared by separating ferric chloride from an aqueous solution, wherein the chemical formula of the ferric trichloride is FeCl 3·6H2 O;

Under the action of the third component, the phenomenon that chain transfer easily occurs in the cationic polymerization is inhibited, and the narrow molecular weight distribution preparation of the molecular weight polyisobutene in the food grade is realized.
The primer system is a green catalytic system without heavy metal, can generate higher reaction activity in a nonpolar solvent with little compound addition, and avoids serious damage to the environment due to the fact that a high-polarity chlorinated solvent is toxic, volatile and strong in corrosiveness.

(Twelve) Performance test
In the examples of the present invention, the average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polymer were determined by GB/T36214.5-2018 volume exclusion chromatography, and absolute determination was performed by using a light scattering method. The results of the examples are shown in Table 1 and the results of the comparative examples are shown in Table 2.
Table 1 shows the reaction temperature, the molecular weight of the product and the total conversion
As shown in Table 1, ferric chloride hexahydrate and anhydrous ferric chloride are compounded to serve as an initiator, and the initiator can form higher reaction activity through low-temperature aging and complexing, so that the method is applicable to nonpolar solvents, can reduce or even eliminate chlorinated solvents, and can avoid the problems of toxicity, easy volatilization, strong corrosiveness and serious environmental damage. Meanwhile, no additional auxiliary catalyst is needed, the preparation of the polyisobutene with high conversion rate and medium molecular weight can be realized with little use amount, and the conversion rate can reach more than 85% even at-30 ℃. The molecular weight distribution of the product is less than 1.5 when the third component is matched.
TABLE 2 data sheet for reaction temperature, product molecular weight and total conversion for comparative examples
As shown in tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the effect of the third component is remarkable by comparing comparative example 1 with example 1. The high-activity initiation system can realize rapid initiation and rapid growth, but the excessively rapid reaction speed can lead to large heat release amount in unit time, and chain transfer is easy to occur to terminate, so that the conversion rate is low, and the molecular weight distribution is wide. Therefore, by adding the food-grade N-ethyl menthane carboxamide third component, the active center is stabilized, chain transfer is inhibited, and the conversion rate can be greatly improved, and meanwhile, the preparation of a product with narrow molecular weight distribution can be realized.
As shown in tables 1 and 2, by comparing comparative example 2 with example 1, it can be seen that the compounding reactivity of the invention is far greater than that of titanium tetrachloride, but the titanium tetrachloride cannot successfully initiate polymerization reaction under nonpolar solvent with the same addition amount, and the monomer conversion rate is only 15%.
As shown in tables 1 and 2, by comparing comparative example 3 with example 1, it can be seen that the conversion rate can reach 50% when titanium tetrachloride is used 15 times as much as the main initiator, and the reaction can be initiated in a nonpolar solvent. But this also leads to a drastic increase in the amount of metal residue, which has not been removed effectively by simple purification processes.
The embodiment of the invention aims to protect food-grade medium molecular weight polyisobutene and preparation and application thereof, and has the following effects:
1. the food-grade medium molecular weight polyisobutene prepared by the invention has narrow molecular weight distribution, can well prevent the change of the molecular weight, and ensures that the processing of fragments is relatively easy, thereby improving the mouthfeel of the food.
2. Because ferric trichloride has high Lewis acidity, the food-grade medium molecular weight polyisobutene prepared by the invention can realize high reaction activity with a small addition amount, and the polymer preparation is not required to be carried out at an extremely low temperature.
3. In the food-grade medium-molecular-weight polyisobutenes prepared according to the invention, the content of residual metal ions measured in the unpurified polymer is only 10% of the residual amount of the other catalysts.
4. The method can rapidly remove the residual metal ions in the polymer by a simple dissolution-alcohol washing method in the post-treatment process of the polymer, and the removal rate of the metal ions can reach 100% after three times of washing.
5. The food-grade medium molecular weight polyisobutene prepared by the invention can be widely applied to the fields of chewing gum bases, food adhesives, food packages, food-grade hot melt adhesives and medical plasters.
