The invention discloses a reverse
demulsifier and a preparation method and application thereof, the reverse
demulsifier comprises a compound as shown in a
structural formula I, in the formula I, n is less than 792, m is less than 447, and a is more than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 10; r1, R2 and R3 are chain
alkyl, the number n1 of carbon atoms in R1 is larger than or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to 12, and the number n2 of carbon atoms in R2 and R3 is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 2. The molecular structure in the reverse
demulsifier simultaneously contains amphiphilic groups of
alkyl ester groups (oleophylic ends) and hydroxyl
ammonium groups (hydrophilic ends), so that the reverse demulsifier has a better displacement effect at an oil-water interface film, and can reduce the polarity of
asphaltene, so that the
asphaltene has better dispersing capacity on the oil-water interface, can be quickly migrated to the interface from
emulsion and is adsorbed to the oil-water interface; the branched chains and the main chain are integrally sawtooth-shaped, the molecular structure is highly branched, the
surface tension of
produced water can be effectively reduced, oil-water interface
instability is promoted, and water-oil balance is broken.
