Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the coagulation of aqueous polymer dispersions stabilized with one or more dispersants with the aid of soluble coagulation salts.
- the invention relates to molding compositions containing such coagulated polymers.
- polymers are prepared by homo- or copolymerization of suitable monomers in a liquid medium, for example by emulsion, miniemulsion or microsuspension polymerization.
- the polymer is obtained in the form of a mostly aqueous solid dispersion, from which the polymer must be separated, unless the dispersion is to be used as such.
- the separation of the polymers from the dispersion is usually done by coagulation. For this purpose, a number of different methods are known.
- dispersions can be coagulated by the addition of strong electrolytes.
- salts are mostly used which contain polyvalent cations such as Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ or Al 3+ .
- the further processing of the coagulated polymer dispersion takes place by partial removal of the water, for example by means of sieving, filtration, centrifuging or decanting, after which the water content of the polymer dispersion is up to 60%.
- the water content can be further reduced by various drying methods, for example by hot air, heating in vacuo or extrusion drying.
- a disadvantage of this method is the burden of water to be separated with the salts added to bring about the coagulation, so that the separated water must then be cleaned consuming.
- Coagulation methods which initiate coagulation of polymer dispersions without the addition of salts, for example the use of high shear forces (shear precipitation) or freezing (freeze coagulation), are known to the person skilled in the art. However, these methods are complex in terms of apparatus and cost-intensive.
- the solution consists in a process for coagulating an aqueous polymer dispersion stabilized by one or more dispersants with the aid of coagulation salts, characterized in that during or after coagulation the coagulation salts are converted from a dissolved to an insoluble form.
- the dissolved coagulation salt By transferring the dissolved coagulation salt into an insoluble salt, it is finely dispersed in the coagulated dispersion. This also avoids the possible formation of larger particles of precipitated, possibly water-soluble and hygroscopic coagulation salt in the subsequent and subsequent processing of the dispersion following the coagulation.
- the coagulation salt converted into an insoluble salt remains in the separation of the waste water in the polymers, the wastewater does not have to be cleaned from the coagulation salt with difficulty.
- the salt can also serve as a filler.
- the salt For the salt to precipitate in aqueous solution, it must have a very low solubility product. This also means that it is not hygroscopic, the end product is thus resistant to water.
