example

[0090] The following non-limiting examples illustrate the synthesis of copolymers of general formula (I), and also illustrate the methods of the present disclosure. The compounds synthesized are understood to be illustrative in nature and not limited in scope by general formula (I) or the methods described.

example 1

[0091] Example 1: Synthesis of succinimide-based copolymers of general formula (I)

[0092] Materials and methods. where R 1 Yes – (CH 2 ) 4 -, x is 0.5, and y is 0.5, a succinimide-based copolymer of general formula (I) is synthesized according to the following reaction scheme:

[0093]

[0094] More specifically, a succinimide-based copolymer having the general formula (I) was synthesized by grinding L-aspartic acid (about 66.5 g, 0.5 mol) with a mortar and pestle while Concentrated H 2 SO 4 (approximately 3.3 g) was added dropwise to the L-aspartic acid to form a grind mixture. The milled mixture was stirred using a magnetic stir bar in a round bottom flask and heated by an oil bath at about 203°C. After 30 minutes, the milled mixture was cooled to room temperature, ground well, and heated at about 203°C for 7 hours using a silicone oil bath with further stirring. The ground mixture was then cooled to room temperature and filtered while washing with hot water (c...

Abstract

Copolymers having General Formula (I): in which R1 is chosen from divalent C4-C7 aliphatic groups and divalent C4-C7 heteroaliphatic groups, optionally substituted with one or more C1-C6 aliphatic groups, heteroatoms independently chosen from O, N, and S, or combinations thereof, where: the divalent C4-C7 heteroaliphatic groups include one or two heteroatoms independently chosen from O, N, and S,and the maximum number of heteroatoms in R1 is two; x is a molar fraction range chosen from 0.05 to 0.95; and y is a molar fraction range chosen from 0.05 to 0.95, where the summation of x and y equals 1. Methods for inhibiting formation of clathrate hydrates in a fluid capable of forming the clathrate hydrates. The methods include contacting the fluid with at least one copolymer of General Formula (I) under conditions suitable for forming the clathrate hydrates.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 332,768, filed May 6, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to succinimide-based copolymers, methods for synthesizing the copolymers, and methods for inhibiting clathrate hydrate formation. Background technique [0004] Conditions favoring the formation of clathrate hydrates are common in pipelines. With the expansion of offshore natural gas exploration and production, clathrate hydrate formation has become a serious operational problem in natural gas transportation and natural gas processing. Agglomeration and adhesion of clathrate hydrates to pipeline walls can reduce natural gas production, plug portions of pipelines, and even block pipelines, causing pipeline shutdowns. To maintain natural gas production and avoid pipeline shutdowns, clathrate hydrate inhibit...
