Description

  The present invention relates to a polyester polymerization catalyst, a polyester produced using the same, and a method for producing the polyester. It is related with the polyester manufactured by this, and the manufacturing method of polyester.

  Polyesters typified by polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), etc. are excellent in mechanical properties and chemical properties. Depending on the properties of each polyester, for example, It is used in a wide range of fields such as textiles and sheets for clothing and industrial materials, films and sheets for packaging and magnetic tape, bottles that are hollow molded products, casings for electrical and electronic parts, and other engineering plastic molded products. . In particular, bottles made of saturated polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate are excellent in mechanical strength, heat resistance, transparency and gas barrier properties, so they are used as containers for filling beverages such as juices, carbonated drinks and soft drinks, and containers for eye drops and cosmetics. Widely used.

  For example, in the case of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polyester mainly composed of aromatic dicarboxylic acid and alkylene glycol, which is a typical polyester, is an esterification reaction or transesterification of terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. An oligomer mixture such as bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate is produced by the reaction, and this is subjected to liquid phase polymerization using a catalyst at high temperature and under vacuum, and after granulation, solid phase polymerization is performed to produce a pellet for molding. The polyester pellets thus manufactured are manufactured by injection molding to produce a preform, and then the preform is blow-molded, biaxially stretched, and molded into a bottle shape.

  Conventionally, antimony or germanium compounds have been widely used as polyester polymerization catalysts used in the polymerization of such polyesters. Antimony trioxide is an inexpensive catalyst having excellent catalytic activity. However, when it is used in an added amount that is a main component, that is, a practical polymerization rate is exhibited, metal antimony is not produced during polymerization. As a result of precipitation, darkening and foreign matter are generated in the polyester, which may cause surface defects of the film. Further, when a raw material such as a hollow molded product is used, it is difficult to obtain a hollow molded product having excellent transparency. Under such circumstances, a polyester that does not contain antimony at all or does not contain antimony as a main catalyst component is desired.

  Germanium compounds have already been put to practical use as catalysts that give polyesters that have excellent catalytic activity other than antimony compounds and do not have the above problems, but the problem that this catalyst is very expensive, Since it is easy to distill out of the reaction system from the reaction system during the polymerization, there is a problem that the catalyst concentration in the reaction system changes and it becomes difficult to control the polymerization.

  Studies have been conducted on polymerization catalysts that can replace antimony or germanium catalysts, and titanium compounds represented by tetraalkoxy titanates have already been proposed. It has a problem that it is easily received and the polyester is remarkably colored.

  Although aluminum compounds are generally known to have inferior catalytic activity (see, for example, Patent Document 1), it has been found that the catalytic activity of an aluminum compound is improved by using a phosphorus compound in combination with the aluminum compound. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 2 to 5.) When the catalyst is used, a polyester excellent in color tone and thermal stability can be obtained. However, in addition to the conventional problems that the catalytic activity, foreign matter reduction and transparency are insufficient, the preparation of the aluminum compound catalyst There was also a problem. In general, when an aluminum compound is dissolved in water, it tends to aggregate or associate between aluminum compounds, and as a result, a water-insoluble substance may be formed. This aluminum-based water-insoluble substance is required to be added to the polymerization system as a high-concentration aluminum compound solution in order to reduce catalyst activity and heat shock during addition of the polymerization catalyst. There was also a problem.

Japanese Patent Publication No.46-40711 JP 2001-131276 A JP 2001-163963 A JP 2001-163964 A JP 2002-220446 A

  With the above circumstances, it is a polymerization catalyst that uses metal components other than antimony, germanium, and titanium as the main metal components of the catalyst. It is easy to prepare the catalyst, has excellent catalytic activity, has few foreign matters, and has good color and thermal stability. There is a demand for a polymerization catalyst that provides a polyester that is excellent and excellent in transparency of a molded product.

  The object of the present invention is to contain the above-mentioned disadvantageous antimony compound, germanium compound and titanium compound as a catalyst main component, and to use an aluminum compound as a catalyst metal component, making it easy to prepare a catalyst, excellent catalytic activity, and foreign matter. It is an object of the present invention to provide a polyester polymerization catalyst that provides a polyester having a low color tone and excellent thermal stability and excellent transparency of a molded product, a polyester produced using the same, and a method for producing the polyester.

  The authors of the present invention focused on basic aluminum acetate to solve the above problems and, as a result of repeated studies, the water-insoluble substance content of the basic aluminum acetate compound was stably reduced to 500 ppm or less by the measurement method described below. It has been found that the present invention can be achieved by the suppression. When the water-insoluble substance content exceeds 500 ppm, the amount of aluminum-based foreign matter insoluble in the polyester gradually increases, which is not preferable.

  Furthermore, in order to ensure the solution of the above problem, in the polyester polymerization catalyst comprising at least one selected from basic aluminum acetate as an aluminum compound and a phosphorus compound, a basic aluminum acetate aqueous solution is used as an alkylene glycol solution. And a polyester polymerization catalyst characterized by comprising preparing a phosphorus compound in advance as an alkylene glycol solution, preheating if necessary, and then mixing the two if necessary Provided are polyesters produced using the same and methods for producing the polyesters.

  Phosphorus compounds have been known as heat stabilizers for polyesters, but it has not been known so far that even when these compounds are used in combination with conventional metal-containing polyester polymerization catalysts, melt polymerization is greatly promoted. It was. Actually, even if the phosphorus compound of the present invention is added when the polyester is melt-polymerized using the antimony compound, titanium compound, tin compound or germanium compound which is a typical catalyst for polyester polymerization as a polymerization catalyst, it is substantially useful.

More preferably, it is 0.005 to 0.05 mol%.

  By using the phosphorus compound of the present invention in combination, a catalyst exhibiting a sufficient catalytic effect can be obtained even when the amount of addition as aluminum in the polyester polymerization catalyst is small. When the addition amount of the phosphorus compound is less than 0.0001 mol%, the addition effect may not be exhibited, and when added over 0.1 mol%, the catalytic activity as a polyester polymerization catalyst may be reduced. There is a tendency of the change depending on the amount of aluminum used.

  The polymerization catalyst of the present invention preferably contains no alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or these compounds.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, it is preferable that at least one selected from a small amount of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, and the compound in addition to aluminum or a compound thereof coexists as the second metal-containing component. The coexistence of such a second metal-containing component in the catalyst system is effective in improving productivity by obtaining a catalyst component having an increased reaction rate in addition to an effect of suppressing the formation of diethylene glycol, and thus a higher reaction rate. .

  A technique of adding an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth metal compound to an aluminum compound to obtain a catalyst having sufficient catalytic activity is known. When such a known catalyst is used, a polyester having excellent thermal stability can be obtained. However, a known catalyst used in combination with an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth metal compound is added in an amount to obtain practical catalytic activity. However, when an alkali metal compound is used, the hydrolysis resistance of the resulting polyester is reduced and the amount of foreign matter resulting from the alkali metal compound is increased. In addition, when used for a film, the physical properties of the film deteriorate. In addition, when an alkaline earth metal compound is used in combination, the thermal stability of the obtained polyester is lowered when it is attempted to obtain practical activity, coloring due to heating is large, the amount of foreign matter generated is increased, and water resistance is increased. Degradability also decreases.

When adding an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal and a compound thereof, the amount M (mol%) used is 1 × 10 ⁻⁶ or more and 0.1 or more relative to the number of moles of all polycarboxylic acid units constituting the polyester. It is preferably less than mol%, more preferably 5 × 10 ^{−6 to} 0.05 mol%, still more preferably 1 × 10 ^{−5 to} 0.03 mol%, and particularly preferably 1 × 10 10. ^{-5 to} 0.01 mol%. Since the addition amount of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal is small, it is possible to increase the reaction rate without causing problems such as deterioration of thermal stability, generation of foreign substances, coloring, deterioration of hydrolysis resistance, etc. is there. When the amount M of the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or compound thereof is 0.1 mol% or more, the thermal stability decreases, the generation of foreign matter and coloring, and the hydrolysis resistance become problems in product processing. A case occurs. When M is less than 1 × 10 ⁻⁶ , the effect is not clear even when added.

  Among these alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or their compounds, when using strongly alkaline substances such as hydroxides, these tend to be difficult to dissolve in diols such as ethylene glycol or organic solvents such as alcohols. However, it must be added to the polymerization system in an aqueous solution, which may cause a problem in the polymerization process. Furthermore, when a strongly alkaline material such as a hydroxide is used, the polyester is liable to undergo side reactions such as hydrolysis during the polymerization, and the polymerized polyester tends to be colored, and the hydrolysis resistance also decreases.

For example, in the case of producing PET, a direct esterification method in which terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and, if necessary, other copolymerization components are directly reacted to distill off water and esterify, followed by polymerization under reduced pressure, Alternatively, it is produced by a transesterification method in which dimethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol and other copolymerization components as required are reacted to distill off methyl alcohol for transesterification, followed by polymerization under reduced pressure. Further, solid phase polymerization may be performed as necessary to increase the intrinsic viscosity. In order to promote crystallization before solid phase polymerization, the melt-polymerized polyester may be subjected to heat crystallization after moisture absorption, or may be heated and crystallized by spraying water vapor directly onto a polyester chip.

The oriented polyester film can be obtained by stretching 1.1 to 6 times at least in the uniaxial direction at a temperature not less than the glass transition temperature of the polyester and less than the crystallization temperature using a known method.

  For example, in the case of producing a biaxially oriented polyester film, a sequential biaxial stretching method in which uniaxial stretching is performed in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction and then stretching in the orthogonal direction, and a simultaneous biaxial stretching method in which stretching is performed in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction simultaneously. In addition to using a linear motor as the driving method for simultaneous biaxial stretching, several times in the same direction, such as horizontal / longitudinal / longitudinal stretching, longitudinal / horizontal / longitudinal stretching, and longitudinal / vertical / horizontal stretching It is possible to adopt a multistage stretching method in which the stretching is performed separately.

  Further, after stretching, in order to reduce the thermal shrinkage of the film, a heat setting treatment is performed within 30 seconds, preferably within 10 seconds, at a temperature from (melting point−50 ° C.) to less than the melting point. % Longitudinal relaxation treatment, lateral relaxation treatment, etc. are preferably performed.

  In the case of the method of adding to the polymerization reaction system, it is preferable to add the diol slurry of inert particles to the reaction system having a low melt viscosity before the esterification reaction or transesterification reaction and before the polymerization reaction starts. In addition, when adjusting the diol slurry of inert particles, it is preferable to perform a physical dispersion treatment such as a high-pressure disperser, a bead mill, or ultrasonic dispersion. Furthermore, in order to stabilize the dispersion-treated slurry, it is preferable to use an appropriate chemical dispersion stabilization treatment according to the type of particles used.

  As the dispersion stabilization treatment, for example, in the case of inorganic oxide particles or crosslinked polymer particles having a carboxyl group on the particle surface, an alkali compound such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide is added to the slurry. Further, reaggregation between particles can be suppressed by electrical repulsion. In the case of calcium carbonate particles, hydroxyapatite particles, etc., it is preferable to add sodium tripolyphosphate or potassium tripolyphosphate to the slurry.

  In addition, when adding the diol slurry of inert particles to the polyester polymerization reaction system, heat treatment of the slurry to near the boiling point of the diol can also be applied to heat shock (addition between the slurry and the polymerization reaction system). (Temperature difference) can be reduced, which is preferable in terms of dispersibility of particles.

  These additives can be added at the time of polymerization of the polyester or after polymerization, or at any stage after the polyester film is formed. Which stage is suitable depends on the properties of the compound and the required performance of the polyester film. It depends on each.

  In addition, since the polyester of the present invention is excellent in thermal stability, for example, when a film or the like is produced using the polyester, the film ear part or nonstandard film generated in the stretching process is melted and reused. Suitable for
