The invention relates to the technical fields of
petroleum demulsifying agents and preparation thereof, and relates to a demulsifying agent for treating thick oil and a preparation method of the demulsifying agent. Raw materials of the demulsifying agent comprise a polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block
copolymer, ketonic acid, alkynol and water. The polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block
copolymer is heated in a reactor, and then is mixed and dissolved with the ketonic acid, the alkynol and water, so that the demulsifying agent for treating thick oil is obtained. The demulsifying agent for treating the thick oil has the characteristics of high demulsification speed and good
water quality after separation, can particularly being used to solve the problem that an acid-containing demulsifying agent product corrodes equipment, and has good anti-
rust and anti-
corrosion effects. According to the invention, the preparation process is simple, large-scale production is facilitated, and the obtained demulsifying effect for treating thick oil has excellent demulsifying effect and
dewatering performance. Meanwhile, the raw materials do not contain
sulfur,
phosphorus, aromatic rings, chlorineand the like which are harmful to human bodies and to the environment, so that the demulsifying agent accords with the concept of safe and environment-friendly production.
