The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas fields, and provides a
tall oil-based surfactant and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method of the
tall oil-based surfactant comprises the steps that S1,
tall oil acid and diethanol amine serve as raw materials and are subjected to an amidation reaction under the action of a
solid base catalyst, and tall oil
diethanolamide is obtained; s2, carrying out
esterification reaction on the tall oil
diethanolamide and
maleic anhydride which serve as raw materials under the action of a
solid acid catalyst and a negative pressure condition to obtain tall oil
diethanolamide succinic acid monoester; and S3, mixing the tall oil diethanolamide
succinic acid monoester and a
sodium sulfite solution, reacting, adding
ethanol after the reaction is completed, stirring, and filtering to obtain a liquid which is the tall oil-based surfactant. The tall oil-based surfactant disclosed by the invention can be independently used as a surfactant for an oil-displacing agent, and the
chromatographic separation effect caused by different adsorbability of each component after a traditional compound oil-displacing agent
system enters a stratum is overcome.
