Annual ten thousand tons of the about 400-450 of polyester slice (ethylene glycol terephthalate) that produce of China, wherein about 80% uses antimony acetate (Sb (Ac)
3) as catalyzer, and these catalyzer 80% is external import.Therefore use the catalyzer of antimony acetate, not only cost an arm and a leg, and used up national a large amount of foreign exchange as polycondensation of polyester.
Nanotechnology is as one of the most popular technology of current research, and its range of application spreads all over a plurality of subjects.Nano level Sb
2O
3As type material, has purposes widely, as being used as polyester polycondensation catalyst, the fire retardant in chemical fibre, engineering plastics, the rubber industry etc.
Theme of the present invention is the purposes of nanometer grade antimony trioxide as polyester polycondensation catalyst.Compare with catalyst acetic acid antimony, used nanometer grade antimony trioxide has that cost is low, and median size is little, is uniformly dispersed in polyester polycondensation reaction, and solvability is good, characteristics such as catalytic activity height.
As everyone knows, the raw material of production PET mainly is terephthalic acid (PTA) or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) (DMT) and ethylene glycol (EG).Its production technique also is that those skilled in the art are known.Used catalyzer generally is Sb (Ac)

Reaction process as shown in Figure 1.
Example 1
The chuck oil temperature of chuck heating agent circulation electric heater unit is arranged on 260 ℃, 2 groups of well heaters heat up at full speed, when treating that jacket temperature rises to 200 ℃, the slurry that the EG of PTA, the 222g of input 350g forms in stainless steel cauldron, and drop into 0.0732g catalyst nano level Sb simultaneously

3Use 0.1MPa N
2After replacing 3 times, use N
2Be pressurized to 0.1MPa.Carrying out esterification under the 100rpm rotating speed stirs heats up.Utilize fractional column top valve regulated still internal pressure to be 0.25Mpa, calculate esterification time from beginning to react water outlet, esterification was carried out under 230 ± 5 ℃ temperature 107 minutes.The question response aquifer yield reaches and carries out pressure release behind the 71ml and finish esterification.The step-down that heats up subsequently constantly rose to 280 ℃ with temperature in the kettle in 45 minutes, simultaneously mixing speed is reduced to 40rpm, regulated that vacuum is 80Pa (manual regulation has certain variation range) in the still.Polymerization with this understanding, treat that polymerization is carried out 82 minutes after, power of agitator is changed to certain value, stops to stir and vacuum condition, finishes polyreaction, uses N
2Eliminate vacuum, nitrogen extrudes material, obtains the PET section.The section performance is referring to table 2.
Example 2
With example 1, just the time of esterification is 90 minutes, and aquifer yield is 66ml.The PET section performance that obtains is referring to table 2.
Example 3
With example 1, just the time of esterification is 92 minutes, and aquifer yield is 68ml, and the polycondensation time is 85 minutes.The PET section performance that obtains is referring to table 2.
