The present invention discloses a process for the separation of carbon black nanoparticles from a polyolefin resin, characterized in that said process comprises the following steps:
(a) pack diatomite with a particle size between 5 and 100 µm in a column
chromatographic until a density of 0.1 to 1.0 g / cm3 is obtained; 10 (b) heat the column to a temperature of at least 120 ° C;
(C) add 0.01 to 0.30% w / v of the hot polyolefin solution to the column;
(d) add organic solvent to the column, and collect the polyolefin solution that comes out. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a chemical process, especially to the part of the process for the separation of carbon black nanoparticles from a polyolefin resin. Background of the Invention Carbon black is an important additive for polyolefin resins in the
20 production of high pressure water pipes. Carbon black can be used as a lightweight polyethylene stabilizer. On the other hand, it can also be used as a colorant and conductive additive for polyolefin.
For research and development of polyolefins that have good properties, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is an important technique for the analysis of molecular weight and microstructure of the polymer, resulting in a polymer synthesis
with a desired weight or molecular microstructure.
However, the analysis of the polyolefin resin comprising carbon black by GPC cannot be performed directly because the carbon black has a size of nanoparticles that can become clogged and cause damage to the GPC column. Further,
30 carbon black causes interference with the analysis, causing errors in the result obtained. For these reasons, separation of carbon black from the polymer before analysis is extremely important. Direct filtration of the mixture of carbon black and hot polyolefin using filtration equipment was disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,232,891, 4,123,235 and
35 4,295,867. Said separation process has the disadvantage that the black size of
Carbon that has nanoparticles gets through the filter paper. Moreover, be 2


He checked that part of the polyethylene can be removed by filtration with carbon black. This causes crucial errors in the analysis of the molecular weight of the polyolefin from the separation.
Centrifugation to separate carbon black from a resin of
5 polyolefin while hot cannot provide good efficiency, because part of the carbon black with a nanoparticle size cannot sediment and is separated from the polyolefin solution.
For these reasons, this invention aims to separate carbon black nanoparticles from a polyolefin resin for the analysis of the molecular weight and microstructure of the polyolefin by the GPC technique.
