The application discloses a preparation method of a water-in-
oil emulsion type defoaming agent for
shale gas exploitation, which comprises the following steps: adding 32# industrial grade
white oil into a
beaker, adding yellow block-shaped
microcrystalline wax, heating to 70 DEG C to dissolve the
microcrystalline wax, adding Span 80 after uniform mixing and stirring, keeping constant temperature magnetic stirring for 10 min, keeping stirring at 70 DEG C for 30 min, adding
tertiary distilled water, continuing stirring for 60 min, and finally adding 2g of 5% PVA water solution to obtain the water-in-
oil emulsion type defoaming agent for
shale gas exploitation. The surface
active agent generated after
starch modification is used to treat the surface groups, so that the
silane groups are attached to the
wax surface with low
surface energy, are wrapped on the outer surface of the
raw material through
hydrogen bond or electrostatic force, the hydrophobicity is increased, the
surface tension is reduced, and the defoaming purpose is achieved at the gas-
liquid interface. The
silicon grease material is compounded in the later stage, the
silicon-containing groups can be better adsorbed on the outermost layer of the
raw material, so that the defoaming is more helpful, and the defoaming rate and defoaming speed are improved.
