摘要

Abstract

The concentration of acetaldehyde (AA) is the main quality index of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) used in food and drink packaging. A new method for AA removal has been developed by using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO

) during the solid-state polycondensation of PET. The influence factors of AA removal including the temperature

pressure

reaction time and the size of pre-polymer particles are systematically studied in this work. The results indicate that it is a highly efficient way to obtain high molecular weight PET with relative low concentration of AA. Correspondingly

the polymerization degree of PET could increase from 27.9 to 85.6 while the concentration of AA reduces from 0.229×10

-6

to 0.055×10

-6

under the optimal operation conditions of 230℃

8 MPa and size of 0.30-0.45 mm. Thermodynamic performance tests show the increasing extent of PET crystallinity due to the fact that the plasticization of scCO

is not obvious with extended reaction time

therefore the increasing crystallinity has no significant influence on AA removal. SEM observations reveal that the effects of scCO

-induced plasticization and swelling on PET inc

rease significantly with the decrease of prepolymer size

and the surface of PET becomes more loose and porous in favor of the AA removal.
