Method for measuring solubility of paraffin in organic solvent
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solubility test, in particular to a method for measuring the solubility of paraffin in an organic solvent.
Background
The paraffin is one of main products in the petroleum refining process, mainly comprises normal paraffin, is colorless or light yellow solid at normal temperature, generally has 16-32 carbon atoms and 300-540 molecular weight, has a fraction range of 350-500 ℃, and has a density of 0.880-0.915 kg/L. The main quality indexes of the paraffin are melting point and oil content, wherein the former represents temperature resistance, and the latter represents purity. Each wax is divided into different varieties according to melting points, such as the brands of 52, 54, 56, 58 and the like. According to different processing and refining degrees, the method can be divided into three types of fully refined paraffin, semi-refined paraffin and crude paraffin. The oil content of the fully refined paraffin is less than 0.8 percent, and the oil content of the semi-refined paraffin is less than 1.8 percent. Among them, the 58 # fully refined paraffin wax plays an important role as a stabilizer in the polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion resin industry, and in the dispersion polymerization thereof, the paraffin wax as a dispersion stabilizer of the reaction system is substantially inactive and is in a liquid state under the reaction conditions. The function of the emulsion breaking inhibitor is to reduce the adhesion phenomenon of the fluororesin on the inner wall of the polymerization kettle and the stirring paddle on one hand, and reduce the probability of forming large particles due to collision among fluororesin particles on the other hand, so that the polymerization system is more stable, the generation of aggregates is prevented, and the emulsion breaking phenomenon is prevented to a certain extent. The dosage of the paraffin has important influence on the dispersion polymerization of PTFE and the performance of products, the resin bonding phenomenon is obviously reduced along with the increase of the dosage of the paraffin, the tensile strength and the elongation at break are improved, but the polymerization reaction rate is reduced. In actual production, the amount used is preferably 0.1% to 12% based on the mass of water used. However, in the processes of liquid separation and coagulation after the reaction, a part of PTFE dispersion resin and the rest of paraffin are often tightly wrapped in the intermediate transition layer, and the PTFE dispersion resin cannot be recovered by the traditional 'water boiling process'. According to the characteristics of paraffin, the extraction effect of the organic solvent is obviously better than that of the traditional 'water boiling process' by utilizing the principle of 'similar and compatible'. However, the theoretical prediction and various estimation methods of the solid solubility are not mature and complete enough at present, so that the determination of the solid solubility is still based on experimental research tests. At present, the solubility determination methods commonly used in laboratories, such as chromatography, potentiometric titration and spectrophotometry, are often impossible to perform due to the high melting point and chemical inertness of paraffin.
At present, no relevant literature reports about a method for measuring the solubility of paraffin in an organic solvent at home and abroad, and a similar Chinese patent (publication number: CN102262031A) discloses a method for measuring the practical solubility of calcium sulfate for papermaking fillers.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to determine the solubility of paraffin in different organic solvents, the invention provides a simple and rapid method for determining the solubility of paraffin in organic solvents, which comprises the following steps: and dissolving excessive paraffin in an organic solvent, separating undissolved paraffin, and calculating according to the mass of the undissolved paraffin and the dissolved paraffin to obtain the solubility of the paraffin in the organic solvent.
