고압에서 폴리(에틸렌/비닐 알코올) 공중합체-용매계의 상거동에 관한 연구
Phase Behavior of Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol)-Solvent System at High Pressure
초록
본 연구는 두 가지의 공중합체인 poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol)(PEVA) [9.9mol%와 17.8mol% vinyl alcohol(VA)]에 용매인 에틸렌, 프로판, 프로필렌, 부탄, 1-부텐, 디메틸 에테르(DME) 및 클로로디플로로메탄(CDFM)과의 구름점(cloud-point)을 얻기 위해 온도 230℃와 압력 1,800bar까지 상거동 실험을 수행하였다. 실험장치로는 평형조(view cell)를 이용한 고온, 고압에서 실험할 수 있는 정지형(static type)을 사용하였다. PEVA(9.9mol% VA) -DME계에 있어서 PEVA의 농도를 1.4∼20.0wt%에 걸쳐 변화시킬 때의 압력과 온도에 따른 상거동을 알아보았다. PEVA(17.8mol% VA)-DME계의 압력-온도에 따른 상거동은 1.9∼6.8wt%에 걸친 농도 범위에서 나타내었다. PEVA(9.9mol%와 17.8mol% VA)와 DME간의 혼합물 구름점은 VA와 DME간의 수소결합에 의하여 압력이 480bar 이하에서 나타났다. PEVA(9.9mol%와 17.8 mol% VA)-DME계에 대해 압력-농도(P-x) 등온곡선 관계를 나타내었다. PEVA(9.9mol%와 17.8 mol% VA)와 용매인 에틸렌, 프로판, 프로필렌, 부탄, 1-부텐 및 CDFM과의 상거동은 1,800bar 이하에서 음의 기울기를 보였으며, PEVA(9.9mol% VA)-DME계에 대한 상거동은 80℃에서 160℃ 온도범위에서 온도가 감소함에 따라 압력이 감소하는 양의 기울기를 가짐을 알 수 있었다.
Cloud-point data at 230℃ and 1,800 bar are presented for two poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol)(PEVA) copolymers[9.9mol% and 17.8mol% vinyl alcohol(VA)] in ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, 1-butene, dimethyl ether(DME), and chlorodifluromethane(CDFM). The static type experimental apparatus with a view cell has been used for the experiment at the high pressure and temperature. The pressure-temperature (P-T) loops of PEVA(9.9mol% VA) copolymer-DME mixtures are presented at copolymer concentrations of 1.4wt% to 20.0wt%. Also, we presented the phase behavior of PEVA(17.8mol% VA) copolymer-DME system at copolymer concentration of 1.9wt% to 6.8wt%. The cloud-point curves for the PEVA copolymers in dimethyl ether showed single phase above 480 bar as a result of the hydrogen bonding between the vinyl alcohol unit and dimethyl ether. The pressure-concentration(P-x) isotherm loops of PEVA(9.9mol% and 17.8mol% VA)-DME system are obtained. The cloud-point curves for PEVA(9.9mol% and 17.8 mol% VA) copolymers and the ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, 1-butene, and CDFM all show negative slopes of phase behavior and are located at pressures below 1,800 bar. For PEVA copolymer-DME system(9.9mol% VA), cloud-point curves show positive slopes that decrease in pressures with decrease in temperature in the temperature range of 80℃ to 160℃.
