Preparation of Light-Color Rosin and Preliminary Analysis of Decoloration Mechanism

Abstract:

Color of rosin is an important evaluation quality index. A process for preparing light-color rosin by adding different chemical additives in the reaction was studied. The results showed that the best light-color rosin can be produced by adding TM430 and TM923. Mechanism of decoloration was studied by ultraviolet spectra. The Gardner color of rosin was reduced from 7 to 2 and the acid value and softening point changed a little where the TM430 dosage of 0.2% based on the weight of the starting rosin, in atmospheres of nitrogen for protection, reaction time for 2h. The decoloration mechanism was analyzed with UV.The hydrogen atom generated by disproportionate catalytic reaction with TM430. The color substances in the raw rosin were reduced to colorless by hydrogen atom generated by catalytic of TM430.
