Background technology
Two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salt has ring texture, show that in thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis excellent thermostability is fixed, being used for polyolefine, polyurethane, polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polymethacrylate (PMMA), polyester, reaching the effect that polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) all has the difficult combustion of lifting characteristic, is a kind of expanded polystyrene veneer phosphate ester melamine salt based flame retardant.
The U.S. the 4th, 154, No. 930 patent discloses a kind of phosphoric acid amido as the polymkeric substance incombustible agent-s-triazine salt (amino-s-triazine salt of phosphoric acid).The U.S. the 4th, 478, No. 998 patents then disclose the synthetic method of two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salts, and this method utilizes trimeric cyanamide to obtain the melamine ammonium salt with the chloride thing reaction of two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid.The method that this part patent is disclosed is to use phosphoryl chloride (POC13) as reactant feed, can generate hydrogen chloride emission in the reaction process, in and can produce a large amount of waste water in the process of hydrogen chloride emission.On the other hand, because the resin viscosity in this reaction is big, must use the excessive phosphorus chloride of high molar ratio to react.Therefore, reclaim another shortcoming that the phosphoryl chloride waste liquid also becomes this method.
The U.S. the 6th, 737, No. 526 patent discloses another kind of method of synthesizing two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) the tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salts of preparation with the mechanochemistry of ball mill grinding with Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES replacement phosphoryl chloride and tetramethylolmethane.Yet Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES has hyperergy, reacts easily with hydrate generation phosphoric acid, or with other reactant and generates metaphosphoric acid or react the generation phosphoric acid ester with ether compound, makes choosing of reaction solvent be subjected to considerable restriction.On the other hand, this preparation process be in enclosed system with an organic solvent as medium, and can produce water in the reaction process, cause enclosed system pressure to raise, be easy to generate the doubt on the safety.Moreover the tetramethylolmethane viscosity of molten state is high, is difficult for stirring, thereby needs the long reaction times.
Therefore, still need simply a kind of and the method for two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) the tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salts of preparation safely.
Embodiment
The method that the present invention prepares two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salts comprises the esterification of step (a), this reaction is to carry out esterification with tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES as reactant, generates two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid (b-PEPAP); And the ammonium salt reaction of step (b), this reaction is prepared two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid of the esterification of mixing step in solvent (a) and trimeric cyanamide or derivatives thereof, remove moisture at last and obtain two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salts (b-PEPAP MEL), reaction is shown in following formula I:
In the method for the present invention, the esterification of step (a) is to carry out in extrusion machine.The kind of extrusion machine can be divided into single-screw extrusion machine and twin-screw extruder according to profile, and its primary structure comprises propulsion source, charging, extruding, heating muff, discharging, and control etc. partly.Extrusion machine mainly utilizes external force that material is flowed in special container and reaches functions such as in various degree mixing, rubbing, shearing, heating.In a specific examples, the esterification of this step (a) is to carry out in twin-screw extruder, and carries out the esterification yield detection in the discharge port of extrusion machine.
This step (a) is to carry out esterification with tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES as reactant to generate two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid, and this esterification is shown in following formula (II):

This tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES reactant feed are to be fed to this twin-screw extruder with predetermined proportion and speed.In the esterification of step (a), the raw materials components mole ratio of reactant is for the esterification yield that generates two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid and do not make significant difference.Yet the charge ratio regular meeting of this tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES influences the ratio of melamine phosphate, and changes the characteristic of final product, and the tetramethylolmethane ratio can cause carbon source to make flame retardant resistance descend very little and problem such as product thermostability variation not at that time.Therefore in the esterification of step (a), this tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES are fed to this twin-screw extruder with the ratio of mol ratio 1:0.5 to 3 and carry out esterification; Preferred this tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES are fed to this twin-screw extruder with the ratio of mol ratio 1:0.75 to 1.33 and carry out esterification; More preferably this tetramethylolmethane and Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES are fed to this twin-screw extruder with the ratio of mol ratio 1:1 and carry out esterification.Input speed is then looked screw speed and is changed, and input speed can cause raw material to block at opening for feed too soon, then causes raw material can't fill up the material pipe too slowly easily, causes the raw material mixing residence time uneven and in the material pipe oversize.Therefore input speed is generally in 20 to 50 kilograms/hour the scope.
In the esterification of this step (a), by adjusting each operational condition, for example sleeve temperature and screw speed can obtain preferable esterification yield; Wherein, temperature is the important factor that influences esterification yield.The sleeve temperature that increases extrusion machine helps to improve esterification yield, yet, when surpassing 200 ℃, temperature can cause esterification products to deceive carbonization.In the inventive method, in order to the extrusion machine sleeve temperature of the esterification of carrying out the inventive method step (a) preferably in 30 to 200 ℃ scope, more preferably in 50 to 140 ℃ scope.Moreover the screw speed of extrusion machine also can influence the esterification yield of esterification.The slow speed of revolution helps to increase the residence time of reactant feed in screw rod, yet low screw speed also can cause shearing force (shear stree) to reduce, and is unfavorable for promoting esterification yield.On the other hand, if screw speed is too high, the residence time deficiency of reactant feed in screw rod also can cause esterification yield to promote.In the inventive method, in order to the extruder screw rotating speed of the esterification of carrying out the inventive method step (a) preferably 10 to 300min
-1Scope in, more preferably 50 to 200min
-1Scope in.Generally speaking, reactant feed in screw rod the residence time preferably at 0.5 minute to 4.5 minutes, more preferably at 1 minute to 4 minutes, particularly preferably in 1.5 minutes to 3.5 minutes.
The ammonium salt reaction of the inventive method step (b) is prepared two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid of the esterification of mixing step (a) under the condition that solvent exists and trimeric cyanamide or derivatives thereof, for example benzoguanamine.In the ammonium salt reaction of this step (b), the addition of this trimeric cyanamide or derivatives thereof benzoguanamine is preferably two times of the employed tetramethylolmethane mole number of step (a).This step (b) can make water as solvent, will two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) phosphoric acid, trimeric cyanamide or benzoguanamine, and solvent place reactor, under agitation condition, be warming up to 30 to 90 ℃ and carry out the ammonium salt reaction, preferably under 70 to 90 ℃ condition, react.Then, removal moisture is filtered in cooling, can obtain two (phosphoric acid pentaerythritol ester) tricresyl phosphate paracyanogen ammonium salts after the oven dry.
Below further specify characteristics of the present invention and effect by particular specific embodiment, but non-ly be used to limit category of the present invention.
