摘要:
Economical, open-celled packaging foams of better quality than foams from commercial aromatic polyester polyols may be prepared with a novel polyol blend. The most important component in the polyol blend is an aromatic polyester polyol made from dibasic acid waste streams and recycled polyethylene terephthalate. This type of polyol made from waste or recycled reactant streams is economical to make and serves as an inexpensive substitute for a portion of more expensive amino polyols normally used.

An improved process for selectively preparing an N-(aminoalkyl)piperazine compound is disclosed wherein piperazine is contacted with a primary or secondary amino alkanol compound in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a phosphorus-containing substance at a temperature of from about 250.degree. to about 350.degree. C under a pressure sufficient to maintain the mixture essentially in liquid phase and the N-(aminoalkyl)piperazine is then recovered from the resultant reaction mixture. In a preferred embodiment piperazine is contacted with monoethanolamine to produce N-(2-aminoethyl)-piperazine.

A process is described for the preparation of mixed isomeric methylene-bridged polycyclohexylpolyamines wherein a mixed isomeric methylene-bridged polyphenyl polyamine mixture having a functionality of from about 2.0 to about 3.3 is pretreated by contacting the mixture and hydrogen with a nickel-containing hydrogenation catalyst at a temperature of from about 25.degree.C. to about 250.degree.C. under a pressure of about 500 to about 15,000 psig. The pretreated isomeric polyamine is then hydrogenated in the presence of ammonia under conventional hydrogenation conditions employing a ruthenium-containing hydrogenation catalyst. The pretreatment step allows the utilization of mixed isomeric methylene-bridged polyphenyl polyamine feed mixtures for the production of isomeric methylene-bridged polycyclohexylpolyamines in high yields without attendant deactivation of the ruthenium hydrogenation catalyst heretofore observed. The process is particularly applicable to continuous operation.

In accordance with the process of the present invention normally liquid, water-soluble poly(oxyethylene/oxypropylene) polyamine products are prepared using an initiator, which may contain oxyethylene groups. In a series of alkoxylation reaction steps the initiator is reacted with predetermined weight percentages of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, said process comprising the steps of:a. Charging a predetermined percentage of initiator to an alkoxylation reaction zone,b. Alkoxylating said initiator therein with predetermined percentages of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide to provide an intermediate polyol,c. Propoxylating said intermediate polyol with a predetermined percentage of propylene oxide to provide a normally liquid, water-soluble precursor polyol, andd. Catalytically reductively aminating said precursor polyol in the presence of a reductive amination catalyst in a reaction zone under reductive amination conditions in the presence of ammonia and hydrogen to provide said water-soluble poly(oxyethylene/oxypropylene) polyamine product.

Vinyl polymer polyols made by polymerizing in situ via a free-radical mechanism one or more vinyl monomers in an epoxy resin-modified polyol are described. Preferably, styrene and acrylonitrile are copolymerized in a polyol made by adding epoxy resin to the alkoxylation of a polyol initiator having 3 to 4 hydroxyl groups. The vinyl polymer polyols of this invention give flexible polyurethane foams with greater load-bearing properties.

An improved process for selectively preparing a predominantly noncyclic polyalkylene polyamine compound is disclosed wherein an alkyleneamine compound is contacted with an alkanolamine compound in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a phosphorus-containing substance at a temperature of from about 250.degree. to about 350.degree. C under a pressure sufficient to maintain the mixture essentially in liquid phase and the polyalkylene polyamine is then recovered from the resultant reaction mixture. In a preferred embodiment ethylenediamine is contacted with monoethanolamine to produce a predominantly linear polyethylene polyamine product with very low yields of heterocyclic amine materials. The desired polyethylene polyamines produced can be directly recovered from the reaction products by known purification procedures.
