Description

Regulation and control method and synthesis method of synthetic EVA with controllable release of free radical, EVOH resin and synthesis method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of EVA and EVOH resin synthesis, and relates to a regulation and control method and a synthesis method of synthetic EVA, an EVOH resin and a synthesis method thereof, in particular to a regulation and control method and a synthesis method of synthetic EVA with controllable release of free radicals, and an EVOH resin and a synthesis method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the consumption of fuel oil, particularly gasoline, is enormous, and the demand is still increasing exponentially year by year. However, the main component of gasoline is light hydrocarbon organic matters (VOC) which are easy to volatilize, and since the container for storing gasoline, such as an automobile tank, a transportation tank, a storage tank and the like, is made of metal, the barrier property to the VOC is poor, and particularly, after the volatilization of the gasoline forms a certain vapor pressure in the container, the volatile gasoline is easier to diffuse and permeate out of the container, thereby causing great harmful substances to people, environment and living beings. Therefore, VOC abatement is also a further important project following automotive exhaust abatement. With the method as a starting point, the barrier property of the gasoline container to light hydrocarbon organic matters is improved, VOC can be reduced, the environment is relieved, the oil utilization efficiency is improved, the cost is saved, and the resource waste is reduced. EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer) is a semi-crystalline polymer material with excellent gas (such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and the like) barrier property and processability, and is used for oil containers in the form of interlayers or coatings to remarkably reduce the permeation of light hydrocarbon VOC. Industrially, EVOH is synthesized from ethylene and vinyl acetate as raw materials by preparing EVA by free radical initiated solution polymerization and alcoholysis. EVOH synthesis work was performed by Nanjing woodization (forest chemical industry communication, 1995, 6, 3-6; CN 91107038.9), and then related work was performed by Sichuan vinylon works, china petrochemical group (CN 201510184602.1; CN 201310125550.1). At present, EVOH products are mainly prepared by directly processing and modifying purchased EVOH resin, but the EVOH synthesis technology does not reach the industrialized production stage yet.
The excellent barrier property of EVOH benefits from the strong bonding effect between hydroxyl groups in molecules and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the cohesive force is strong, molecular chains are closely stacked, and small molecules cannot permeate; on the other hand, the presence of ethylene segments imparts good processability to EVOH. At present, a great deal of reports are made on regulating and controlling the barrier property and the processing property of a polymer by controlling the ethylene content in EVOH, however, the problems of poor controllability of the polymerization process, poor linearity of a polymer structure and the like, such as low molecular weight of the polymer, uneven distribution of hydroxyl groups on a main chain or occurrence of branched chains, high branching degree or uncontrollable branching, and the like, finally result in low molecular weight of the EVOH, unstable batch and poor structural controllability.
Therefore, how to realize the controllable polymerization of ethylene and vinyl acetate has important significance for further improving the barrier property and the processability of EVOH and improving the product batch stability, and is one of the problems to be solved by a plurality of researchers with foreseeability in the field.
