Description

Device for polymer devolatilization and polyolefin elastomer devolatilization method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of high polymer material production and processing, relates to elastomer devolatilization production technology, and in particular relates to a polymer devolatilization device and a polyolefin elastomer devolatilization method.
Background
Most polymers at the outlet of the polymerization reactor contain low-relative-molecular-weight components such as monomers, solvents, water, byproducts and the like, and the content of the volatile components is generally 10-80 wt% according to different processes, so that the volatile components need to be further removed, thereby meeting the requirements of improving the performance, health and environment of the polymers, recycling the solvents and the monomers and the like. With the continuous increase of safety, environmental protection and health level, the requirements of different application fields on the VOC content in the polymer material are also continuously increasing, for example, the content of acrylonitrile in the food-grade ABS product is required to be lower than 5ppm.
The polyolefin elastomer is a random copolymer of metallocene catalyzed ethylene and alpha-olefin, has excellent weather resistance and chemical resistance, good compatibility with polyolefin, high elasticity of rubber and easy processability of plastic, and the obtained elasticity has lower cost, lighter weight, lower energy consumption and more environmental friendliness. The synthesis generally adopts a solution polymerization process. The polymer solid at the outlet of the reactor only accounts for 8-25wt% of the reaction mother liquor, the unreacted completely polymerized monomers in the mother liquor comprise ethylene, alpha-olefin and solvent, and then the slurry is conveyed into a devolatilizer after the reactor to remove the unreacted monomers and solvent. The structural design of the devolatilizer and the control of the process parameters are critical factors related to the VOC index in the final polyolefin elastomer product.
There are few patents currently published for devolatilization of polyolefin elastomers. In industry, widely used polymer devolatilization processes comprise a falling strip devolatilizer, an in-pipe falling film devolatilizer and the like, and the solvent and the monomer are removed by preheating the feed and vacuumizing the devolatilizer, so that the interface is continuously updated in the falling process of the polymer melt. In order to diffuse the volatiles as far as possible from the constantly updated interface to enhance devolatilization, it is common in the industry to maximize the preheating temperature and vacuum of the feed. However, according to the studies of Park and Suh et al, the rapid increase in temperature or decrease in pressure places the polymer solution in a thermodynamically unstable supersaturated state, and bubble nuclei are easily formed at the interface, so that the volatile components exist in the form of bubbles. The nucleation, growth and collapse process of bubbles becomes a control step in the devolatilization process. Only when the bubbles are finally broken, volatile components in the bubbles can be diffused out, so that the devolatilization effect of the devolatilizer is seriously affected in the foaming devolatilization process. Therefore, optimization is expected to be performed on the existing devolatilization equipment, the interface update of the melt is improved, and the rapid collapse of bubbles is realized, so that the devolatilization effect is improved.

The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
1. Compared with the uniform round or grid-slit-shaped open-pore elements in the traditional falling-strand or falling-film static devolatilizer, the device provided by the invention has the advantages that the feeding distributor is provided with the oval table-shaped open-pore elements with small top and bottom, and the design has two advantages: on one hand, when the huge pressure on two sides of the distributor is reduced, materials enter the holes of the elliptical table, the elliptical area on the top is large and is distributed in a regular triangle shape, so that the materials are convenient to uniformly disperse, the aperture is smaller and smaller in the downward process along the holes, the flow speed is faster and faster, the surface of a melt is facilitated to be updated, and finally the melt flows out through the small holes on the bottom to be in a fine falling strip shape, and the removal of volatile matters in the falling process is facilitated; on the other hand, under high vacuum and high superheat, bubble nuclei are extremely easy to form on the surface of the melt, but because the open-pore element is elliptical, the bubble nuclei are limited in growth and are not easy to grow up in the short axis direction, the included angle between the inner surface of the hole and the horizontal direction is larger than the equilibrium contact angle of the melt, the bubbles generate a yielding phenomenon to start sliding, and when the melt flows out of the open-pore element, the bubbles are rapidly separated from the surface of the melt.
2. On one hand, the solid content of the melt at the inlet of the final stage reaches 95-99wt percent, compared with the viscosity at the inlet of the first stage, the viscosity of the melt is obviously increased, the melt is subjected to laminar flow in a tube by adopting a traditional tube type heat exchanger, the heat transfer coefficient is very small, the heat exchange effect is poor, and the melt is subjected to direct contact heating by adopting steam, so that the heat transfer efficiency is high, and the investment of expensive high-viscosity heat exchanger equipment is saved; on the other hand, when the high-pressure steam enters the devolatilizer through the annular pipe distribution small holes, the flow speed is very high, the steam volume is rapidly expanded due to high vacuum, the steam is wrapped when falling down, and the volatile concentration in the gas phase is diluted, so that huge concentration gradient exists in the volatile melt and the gas phase space, and the removal efficiency of the volatile is remarkably improved. Meanwhile, the continuous blowing of steam inhibits bubble nucleation on the surface of the melt and accelerates the separation of bubbles from the surface of the melt.
By adopting the process, the heat transfer effect is greatly enhanced, the film forming area is increased, the surface renewal of a liquid film is promoted, the devolatilization efficiency is improved, and the volatile matters in the polyolefin elastomer can be removed to below 2000ppm through two-stage static devolatilization. And meanwhile, the melt is heated more uniformly, so that the phenomena of yellowing and black spots of materials are avoided due to high local temperature.
