The invention belongs to the technical field of surfactants, and particularly relates to superparamagnetic ferroferric
oxide nanoparticles as well as a preparation method and application thereof. Ferroferric
oxide is modified by
ethylene polyamine polyether to form the superparamagnetic ferroferric
oxide nano-particle with a core-shell structure, the superparamagnetic ferroferric oxide nano-particle comprises an internal core and a shell layer on the outer layer of the core, the shell layer is
ethylene polyamine polyether, the core is the superparamagnetic ferroferric oxide nano-particle, and the core and the shell layer are successfully connected through a Si-O bond. The
demulsifier prepared from the superparamagnetic ferroferric oxide nanoparticles can realize rapid demulsification of the
emulsion under the
magnetic response effect at a low temperature, the magnetic particles are small in dosage and can rapidly move to an oil-water interface when the
emulsion is demulsified, when an external
magnetic field is introduced to the bottom of the
emulsion, the magnetic particles are subjected to the
magnetic field force effect, the original stress balance state is destroyed, and the demulsification effect of the emulsion is improved. And the magnetic particles move towards the bottom of the container, so that the emulsion is quickly demulsified.
