Description
The present invention relates to a method for reducing impurities in a solvent during polymerization of a styrene-butadiene solution, and more particularly, in a process of preparing a styrene-butadiene copolymer by solution polymerization, it is possible to reduce the impurities in the solvent by recovering the solvent. The present invention relates to a method for reducing impurities in a solvent during styrene-butadiene solution polymerization.
Generally, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is prepared by solution polymerization or emulsion polymerization, and in the case of solution polymerization, it is easier to change the microstructure in the polymer chain or to arrange monomers than emulsion polymerization. It is also possible to bond the chain ends with tin or silicone compounds, or to modify them with compounds containing amines or hydroxyl groups, thereby reducing the number of chain ends or reducing the movement of the chain ends, as well as carbon. By improving the binding force with the black, it is possible to reduce the fuel consumption when used as a tire tread rubber, there is an advantage that it is easy to adjust the tire properties required, such as braking and wear resistance.
However, when styrene-butadiene (rubber) is manufactured by using the solution polymerization method, the regeneration cycle of the adsorption column is shortened due to the impurities in the solvent used for the polymerization, and the moisture in the solvent introduced into the polymerization reactor even after the adsorption column. As the content of is increased, the amount of the catalyst reacting with the water increases, so that the amount of the catalyst must be increased to maintain the activity.
Therefore, research to solve such a problem is continuously made. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for recovering a solvent in the polymerization of a conventional styrene-butadiene solution, and FIG. 2 illustrates a detailed process of a distillation column in a method for recovering a solvent in the polymerization of a conventional styrene-butadiene solution. It is a process chart. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a method for recovering a solvent during polymerization of a conventional styrene-butadiene solution is described below. First, raw materials such as styrene and butadiene are supplied to and reacted with the
On the other hand, the styrene-butadiene polymer produced by solution polymerization exhibits high reactivity to polar substances such as water because lithium (Li) -based catalysts are usually used in the polymerization reaction, and therefore, water contained in the solvent to be recovered. It is preferable to exist in trace amount. However, in the conventional method for recovering the solvent during the polymerization of the styrene-butadiene solution, the water content is 10 ppm or more even after passing through the adsorption column, and the catalyst is unnecessarily reacted with water, resulting in low activity. In order to maintain this, additional catalyst should be added which must be used as a scavenger.
As described above, the method for recovering the solvent in the polymerization of the styrene-butadiene solution known to date has various problems. Therefore, to solve the above problems, there is a need for the development of a method capable of efficiently reducing impurities in the solvent recovered during styrene-butadiene solution polymerization.
When preparing styrene-butadiene (rubber) using the solution polymerization method, impurities such as moisture in the solvent used for the polymerization not only shorten the regeneration cycle of the adsorption column, but also cause the catalyst to react unnecessarily with water. The cost increases, for example, the amount of catalyst used increases.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for reducing impurities in a solvent during styrene-butadiene solution polymerization, which can reduce the amount of catalyst used by reducing impurities in the solvent recovered during polymerization of the styrene-butadiene solution.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, after the solution polymerization reaction of the raw material containing styrene and butadiene in the polymerization reactor, the polymer is discharged from the stripper, the remaining unreacted monomer and solvent is supplied to the decanter to remove the water component Becoming; By transferring and supplying the unreacted monomer and the solvent to the first distillation column, the C4 fraction or the light impurities and the residual water component containing the unreacted butadiene having a lower boiling point than the solvent are discharged through the upper portion and flushed in the solvent. Recovering the solvent used in the low purity through a stage located below the feed stage of the first distillation column is supplied with the unreacted monomer and the solvent; And a solvent used for the polymerization reaction in the solvent is supplied to a second distillation column, and then, the unreacted monomer and heavy impurities including unreacted styrene having a higher boiling point than the solvent are removed and recovered in high purity. Provided is a method for reducing impurities in a solvent during styrene-butadiene solution polymerization.

Example 1 Recovery of Solvents with Reduced Impurities in Styrene-Butadiene Solution Polymerization
The tower operation temperature of the first distillation column was about 48 ° C., the operating pressure was about 4.3 barg, the tower operation temperature was about 132.8 ° C., and the operating pressure was about 4.4 barg, and the inflow of raw materials through the polymerization reactor, stripper, and decanter was 34.5. After distillation proceeded to T / hr, the unreacted monomer was recovered at an average flow rate of 0.16 T / hr from the column top, and 2 T / hr to be used for flushing at the stage located below two stages than the stage into which the raw material was added. N-Hexane solvent (purity 92.9 wt%) was recovered. Subsequently, the second distillation column was subjected to secondary distillation at a top operating temperature of about 73 ° C., an operating pressure of about 0.2 barg, a tower bottom operating temperature of about 145 ° C., and an operating pressure of about 0.4 barg. After recovering 32.3 T / hr of normal-hexane solvent from the column top, the mixture was passed through an adsorption column and introduced into a reactor for polymerization. Meanwhile, the amount of steam used in the first distillation column was 2.9 T / hr, and the amount of steam used in the second distillation column was 3.5 T / hr.
Example 2 Recovery of Solvents with Reduced Impurities in Styrene-Butadiene Solution Polymerization
The amount of steam used in the first distillation column was increased to 3.1 T / hr, and the same operation as in Example 1 was performed except that the tower operating temperature was increased to 0.3 ° C. to 133.1 ° C.
Comparative Example 1 Recovery of Solvent During Styrene-Butadiene Solution Polymerization
Instead of recovering 2 T / hr of normal-hexane solvent from the first distillation column, 34.3 T / hr of normal-hexane solvent was recovered from the column top of the second distillation column together with the solvent used for the polymerization reaction. After passing through the adsorption column, the solvent was introduced into the reactor for the polymerization reaction, and the remaining 2 T / hr solvent was used as the flushing solvent, and the amount of steam used to adjust the column bottom operating temperature of the first distillation column to 131.5 ° C. was 2.9 T / hr, and the amount of steam used was increased to 3.7 T / hr as the input amount to be treated in the second distillation column was performed in the same manner as in Example 1.
