The preparation method of many metals multiple ligand composition catalyst of the present invention prepares by following step:
The 1st takes by weighing Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganates, puts in the reactor, and the water that adds 8~10 times of its quality dissolves it, again with M X
n25wt%~40wt% aqueous solution under agitation splash in the reactor, splash into M X
nQuality be Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganates 10~13 times, stirred again after dripping off 30~60 minutes, the aqueous solution that adds L ' 40wt%~60wt% then, add its L ' aqueous solution quality and be Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganates 20~30 times, stirred 1~2 hour, the concentration that adds L again is the methanol solution of 0.2wt%~1wt%, add its L methanol solution quality and be Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganates 1~2 times, stirred 0.5~3 hour, filter filter cake;
The 2nd changes the resulting filter cake of step 1 in the aqueous solution that L ' concentration is 60wt%~80wt% over to, L ' concentration is that the consumption of 60wt%~80wt% aqueous solution is Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganate quality 20~30 times, put in the reactor then, stirred 1~2 hour, " and the mixed solution of pure water; mixed solution is in 10g L ' and 15g L " and prepare by the ratio of 160g pure water to add L ' and L again, the mixed solution consumption is Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganate quality 1~3 times, stirred 0.5~2 hour, filter filter cake;
The 3rd changes the resulting filter cake of step 2 among the pure L ' over to, pure L ' consumption is Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganate quality 20~30 times, put in the reactor, stirred 1~2 hour, adding pure L at last, "; pure L " consumption is Cobalt Potassium Cyanide or potassium hexacynoferrate or six cyanogen potassium manganate quality 2~3 times, stirs after 1.5~4 hours, filter filter cake;
The 4th with the resulting filter cake of step 3 in 50~70 ℃ of following vacuum drying to constant weight, promptly get catalyst prod.
Technology predicate among the present invention, catalyst amount: mean weight based on final PPG product; PO is an expoxy propane.
The present invention is based on double metal cyanide has catalytic action to the preparation of polyethers, but activity is still not high enough, is difficult to use in industrial practice.Be surprised to find in the present invention, behind the introducing L , catalyst has following characteristics:
1, activity of such catalysts is about 10 times of double metal cyanide raw catalyst, can reach at 105 ℃, and under the catalyst amount 25ppm condition, activity is 1370gPO/g, min.The every gram catalyst of per minute transforms the 1370g alkylene oxide.
2, catalyst consumption is low especially, and catalyst amount can make reaction carry out smoothly under the 25ppm condition, and fast when being 100ppm than known DMC catalysts (DMC) consumption.
3, lack the induction period of catalyst, can reach below 30 minutes, even 13 minutes.Be generally the induction period of known dmc catalyst (EP 0 755 716 A1) about 240 minutes.
4, adopt the polyethers of this Preparation of Catalyst, have the low advantage of degree of unsaturation.
5, adopt the polyethers of this Preparation of Catalyst, its molecular weight is unrestricted substantially.
6, adopt the polyethers of this Preparation of Catalyst, good stability need not to add antioxidant.
7, this catalyst is used for alkylene oxide polymerization and prepares PPG, and consumption is low, and alkali metal ion content measured post processing such as does not need to filter below 3ppm, can reduce production costs greatly.
8, Preparation of catalysts condition of the present invention is simple, and the adding of organic ligand can be before precipitation generates, also can be after precipitation generates.
The catalytic activity that catalyst of the present invention is applied to the alkylene oxide polymerization reaction is high especially.Its preparation polyethers of industrial application, consumption is low especially, can remove the step of separating catalyst from product from, and do not influence properties of product, the reaction speed height, generated time reduces 80%~90% than traditional KOH catalysis, especially Zhi Bei pfpe molecule amount height, and there is not small molecular weight impurity, degree of unsaturation is low, relative molecular mass height and narrowly distributing, single functionality impurity is few, number-average's height, good stability need not to add characteristics such as antioxidant, for the upgrading of polyether product provides possibility, can be widely used in the production polyurethane elastomer, the soft bubble of high resilience, fluid sealants etc. make goods have elasticity preferably, elongation at break and tear resistance are for preparation high-quality polyurethane goods provide necessary raw material sources.
