POLYMERIZATION mg

CHARLES C. WINDING and HERBERT F. WIEGANDT CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHACA, N. Y.

The number of 1959 publications dealing with polymerization” was approximately the same as For the previous year. The polymeric soil conditioners received much attention, but other less-publicized developments may be even more important. New catalysts end continuous processes For synthetic rubber indicated that marked changes are certain to occur in this field. The disposal of the government rubber plants moved one more step toward reality. The newer fibers began to reach the ultimate consumer in relatively large quantities and brought to light many new problems. The epoxy resins gained a foothold among the coating and adhesive resins. Behind the more sDectacular developments was a remarkable increase in Droduction capacity For polyethylene, the vinyls, and nylons.

T

HE number of publications dealing with various phases of the unit process of polymerization appears to be leveling off. The previous review of this series (533) for 1951 covered 585 references; 557 are cited for 1952. However, predictions of present and future production of polymeric materials indicate t h a t plastics, rubbers, fibers, coating materials, and adhesives are all still growing at a remarkable rate and will continue t o do so. Without doubt the most publicized development in the field of of polymers in 1952 was the public announcement of soil conditioners and the race to get them into the hands of the consumer. The resulting controversy over their effectiveness probably will not be settled for years t o come. The rubbers also received considerable attention both because of the imminent disposal of government plants and the announcement of new catalysts and processes. The new fibers reached the more or less confused consumer bringing new problems b u t little or no reduction in proposed new plants and expansion of existing capacity. The few new polymers t h a t emerged from pilot plants appeared t o be headed for specialty uses rather than competition with existing materials. Behind the more spectacular developments was a remarkable increase in production capacity for polyethylene, the vinyls, and nylons. This review attempts to cover 1952 material directly related to the unit process of polymerization, including general theoretical aspects, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, effect of all types of addition agents on reactions, monomeric reactants and resulting polymers, reaction conditions, complete processes, apparatus, and descriptions of existing plants. It does not include publications dealing exclusively with production statistics, uses, applications, structure, properties, or modifications of high polymers. However, many of the references cited may be devoted in part to such subject matter. Eight general reviews (220, 346-347, 978, 288,473, 514) other than the preceding one of this series, appeared during 1952.

CATALYSTS, ACTIVATORS, MODIFIERS, AND INHIBITORS

In the petroleum industry, catalYsts and reaction conditions are selected t o produce low molecular weight polymers; usually dimers, trimers, and tetramers. Anderson (18) used alumina-silica isomerization catalysts followed by aluminum chloride polymerization catalysts t o produce lubricating oils from olefinic FischerTropsch fractions. Bailey (43) polymerized olefins using silica gel impregnated with nickel and aluminum oxides. Boron trifluoride was employed to polymerize propylene (101 ) and, in a n ether complex, to form polyisobutylene (473). Phosphorus pentoxide catalysts were investigated by Kolfenbach and Small ($86)and Meerbott (352). Ortho phosphoric acid was also suggested (98, 270, 876) for olefinic polymerizations. Krug (296) polymerized monoijlefins in the presence of boron phosphate. I n the formation of high polymers by addition polymerization, most catalysts actually initiate the reaction by free-radical or ionic mechanisms rather than by true catalytic action, but many authors do not distinguish between catalysis and initiation. It is beyond the scope of this review t o attempt t o make such distinctions and the words “catalyst” and “initiator” will be used synonymously. Per compounds, azo compounds, and Grignard reagents initiate polymerizations by forming free radicals which react with, and activate, monomers. Three general reviews (856, 346, 400) of this type of initiation were published. Adman and Wagner (26) conducted experiments t o investigate the degree of conversion and molecular weight as a function of type and concentration of initiators. Sengupta and Palit (443) compared induction times and reaction rates at different temperatures for persulfate and peroxide catalysts. Cooper (124, 186) studied the effect of peroxide structures on the rate of the initiation reaction. T h e following peroxide catalysts were proposed: a,a’-dialkylarylmethyl hydroperoxides (607), phthaloyl peroxide (511), acrylyl and cyclic succinyl peroxides (376), peroxides of vinylcyclopentene (68), p-hydroxydialkyl peroxides (63),pinacolone peroxide (376), and alkyltetrahydronaphthalene hydroperoxide (411). Reynolds, Wicklatz, and Kennedy (413) speeded up GR-S

polymerizations by using the monohydroperoxide of teit-butyl isopropyl benzene plus polyamines. Miller, Dittman. and Reed (340) suggested the use of hydrogen-free perhalogenated peroxides as initiators. Nitrazole rubbers equivalent to cold rubbers were prepared using p-nitrobenzene diazonium p-chlorobenzene sulfonate as a n initiator (28). Azonitrile catalysts were investigated by Arnett and Peterson (38), Breitenbach and Schindler (80)’ and Robertson (416). Reynolds (409) and Tucker and Wells (498) initiated GR-S polymerizations with diazo thioethers. Azo-cyano compounds (163) and azobis(dipheny1methane) (154)were suggested for ethylene polymerizations.

The mechanism of ionic initiation was studied by Colclough (120) using radioactive antimony pentachloride. Kolfenbach and Small (284),Schutze (439),and Sparks and Thomas (463) all employed specially prepared aluminum chloride in butyl rubber polymerizations, and Sparks and Thomas (462) used boron trifluoride for the same purpose. Brasch ( 7 9 ) and Loewe (310) found t h a t polymerization could be initiated by irradiation with high speed electrons. Friedman (190) copolymerized ethylene and butadiene using a calcium oxide catalyst. Bullitt ( 9 4 ) employed sodium in liquid ammonia for acrylonitrile polymerizations. Folt (180) catalyzed vinyl polymerizations with compounds yielding sulfite ions. D’Alelio (133) suggested the use of cation exchange resins containing sulfonic acid groups as polymerization initiators. Stabilized redox activators for GR-S polymerizations were proposed by Fryling (192), Fryling and Follett (195), and Uraneck, Tucker, and St. John (506). Kolthoff and Meehan (386) suggested several redox recipes. Gould (216) investigated ferric acetylacetonate activators for vinyl polymerizations. Jordan and Cline (264) found that alcohols accelerated indene and coumarone polymerizations catalyzed by stannic chloride. Luce (313) reported that vinyl acetate polymerizations were activiated b y methallyl maleate. Walsh and Schutze (521) discovered t h a t small amounts of butyl rhloride or bromide promoted Friedel-Crafts catalysts, and Walsh (660) retarded the polymerization of isobutylene with ethylene. Modifiers are added to many polymerizations to reduce the amount of branching and cross linking and t o control the degree of polymerization. Baysal and Tobolsky ( 5 6 ) studied the effect of modifiers during vinyl polymerizations. Franta (189) controlled branching with cyclohexane during the polymerization of ethylene. Methyl iodide was used (50) to modify vinyl chloride polymerizations, and disubstituted amino mercaptans were suggested (466)for GR-S polymerizations. Several inhibitors were suggested as shortstops in the emulsion polymerization of butadiene. Adams and Reynolds (2) used a product of ethylene diamine and sulfur. Dunbrook, Bebb, and Street (160) tabulated the performance of the agents they used. Schulee and Crouch (488) use dithiocarbonate compounds. Miller, Alumbaugh, and Brotherton (337) found that the undesired growth of butadiene polymers in storage or distillation is accelerated in proportion t o the mass of seed. McMillan and Bishop (319) stopped styrene polymerizations short with a tetramethyldihydropyridine. Mack and Bickford (317) found conidendrols to be effective in inhibiting vinyl polymerizations. Acrylonitrile polymerization v-as inhibited with p-benzyloxyphenol by Nichols (366) and with naphthylamine by Stehman (471). Phenylenediamine was suggested as an inhibitor by Evans and Whitney (167) for the polymerization of m-vinylphenol. T o catalyze aldol-type condensations with furfural Mastagli, Floc’h, and Durr (830)discuss the applicability of anion exchange resins in place of sodium hydroxide.

Pyrolysis of Coal and Shale CHARLES H. PRIEN, DENVER RESEARCH

INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF DENVER, DENVER I O , COLO. Papers on coal pyrolysis during the past year included several studies on the mechanism of degradation OF the coal macromolecule during pyrolysis and of the structure of the pitch and tar produced. Patents on fluidized carbonization continued t o appear. Interest i n low temperature carbonization i n the United States has been mounting, as has also interest i n the pro. duction of coal chemicals by l o w temperature carbonization, without simultaneous production of metallurgical coke. The physicochemical processes responsible For benzene production during carbonization and elimination of overlapping standard tests for coke properties were studied, U. S. Bureau of Mines activities o n o i l shale included studies on more efficient methods OF mining, revised estimates of the size of U. S. o i l shale resources, further p i l o t plant &velopment of the gas combustion process and cracking processes, additional cost estimates for commercial operations, and a new entrained-solids high temperature retorting process, Research on kerogen composition included a controlled oxidation with alkaline permanganate and a thermal solution OF the shale with associating and nonassociating solvents at 200" C. A high temperature retorting process For shale fines yields oils high i n aromatic hydrocarbons. Shale tar bases have been successfully polymerized t o aldehyde t y p e resins, using formaldehyde. H i g h pressure catalytic hydrogenation of Colorado shale o i l i s reported t o y i e l d a sulfur- and nitrogen-free product suitable for Further standard petroleum processing.

T IS pertinent t o begin this sixth annual review of paper. published in the field of coal and oil shale pyrolysis by restating

I

the scope of the coverage undertaken. Although primary effort is devoted t o coal and shale pyrolysis as such-its niechanism and practice-to complete the survey, it has been extended to related subjects of concomitant concern t o persons in these fields. Bccordingly, an attempt has been made t o include not only references t o high and low temperature carbonization of coal and retorting of oil shale, their mechanisms, kinetics, and applications, but also t o cover related subjects, viz., raw materials, product and by-products characteristics and properties, coke oven equipment and improvements, coke analysis and testing,

The shale revien includes papers on shale properties, shale oil characteristics,retort design, and, briefly, theimal extraction. The majority of references to high-pressure gasification processes, subbituminous and lignite gasification, and underground gasification processes have been deleted, a8 being more properlyclassifiedasunitprocesses other than pyrolysis. Because a clearcut delineation hereto is not possible, however, certain ieferences to combination pyrolysk-gasification processes a l w a y s n e c e s s a r i l y w a r r a n t inclusion. The period under review is essentially that from June 1952 to 1953, except for previous omissions ariving from the normal lag in the publication of paperP and abstracts. The voluminous literature of the period, some 640 separate papers, has necessarily been reduced for illclusion in this revielv.

COAL PYROLYSIS GENERAL

A number of books and revieas of general interest have been issued during the past year. Sttention is called t o a publication of the r a t i o n a l Coal Board of Great Britain (1514) on metallurgical (not gas) coke processes, to the annual coal
