Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum refining industry, specifically a highly efficient water-soluble corrosion inhibitor for oil refining equipment and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the petroleum refining industry, the top of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit and its condensation cooling system are critical links in process corrosion prevention. This area is mostly made of carbon steel, and the corrosive media primarily originate from hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide produced during crude oil processing, as well as moisture formed from steam condensation. These elements combine to create a harsh environment characterized by high temperature, high humidity, and a high concentration of corrosive ions. To protect the equipment, a process measure of continuously injecting water-soluble corrosion inhibitors is typically employed. These inhibitors are mostly based on amine salts such as imidazoline and amides, formed by the reaction of organic amines and organic acids. They form a monomolecular protective film through directional adsorption on the metal surface, preventing contact between the corrosive media and the substrate, thereby inhibiting corrosion.
[0003] However, traditional amine salt-based corrosion inhibitors widely used in existing technologies exhibit a significant drawback in actual operation: the protective film they form is often not dense or robust enough, and is prone to desorption under high-speed fluid scouring or temperature fluctuations, leading to film damage and poor self-repair capability. This directly manifests as limited and unstable corrosion inhibition efficiency, especially in environments with high chloride ion concentrations, where the risk of pitting corrosion remains prominent. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a highly efficient water-soluble corrosion inhibitor for oil refining units, thereby solving the problem that traditional amine salt corrosion inhibitors in the prior art suffer from limited and unstable corrosion inhibition efficiency due to the non-dense and weak protective film.
[0005] A highly efficient water-soluble corrosion inhibitor for use in oil refining units is prepared from raw materials comprising the following components in parts by weight:
[0006] 20-40 parts organic amine compound; 15-30 parts organic acid; 5-15 parts surfactant; 30-50 parts solvent; 1-5 parts metal passivator; 0.5-3 parts dispersant.
[0007] Preferably, the organic amine compound is at least one selected from morpholine, cyclohexylamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine;
[0008] The organic acid is at least one of lauric acid, oleic acid, citric acid, and aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid;
[0009] The solvent is at least one of deionized water, ethanol, and isopropanol.
[0010] Preferably, the surfactant is a fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, an alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, or sodium dodecyl sulfate;
[0011] The metal passivating agent is benzotriazole, methylbenzotriazole, or a thiadiazole derivative;
[0012] The dispersing agent is polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium polyacrylate, or hydroxymethyl cellulose.
[0013] A method for preparing the above-mentioned highly efficient water-soluble corrosion inhibitor includes the following steps:
[0014] S1. In the presence of a catalyst, the modified monomer is reacted at 50-100℃ to prepare intermediate A;
[0015] S2. React organic amine compounds with organic acids at 60-80℃ for 1-2 hours to generate amine salts;
[0016] S3. The amine salt generated in step S2 is modified using intermediate A obtained in step S1 to obtain the modified amine salt;
[0017] S4. Add the surfactant, metal passivator and dispersant to the solvent and stir to dissolve at 40-60℃ to obtain mixture B;
[0018] S5. Mix the modified amine salt obtained in step S3 with the mixture B obtained in step S4, stir continuously at 50-70℃ for 1-3 hours, and cool to room temperature to obtain the highly efficient water-soluble corrosion inhibitor.
[0019] Preferably, step S1 specifically includes the following sub-steps:
[0020] S11. Add the catalyst to the reaction vessel and preheat it to 50-70℃;
[0021] S12. Slowly add the modified monomer dropwise into the reaction vessel, controlling the dropping rate to 1-2 drops / second, while maintaining the temperature during this period;
[0022] S13. After the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 80-100℃ and keep it warm for 2-4 hours to mature;
[0023] S14. Cool and filter the matured product to obtain intermediate A.
[0024] Preferably, step S3 specifically includes the following sub-steps:
[0025] S31. Cool the amine salt generated in step S2 to 40-50℃;
[0026] S32. While stirring, slowly add intermediate A obtained in step S1 to the amine salt, controlling the addition time to be 20-40 minutes;
[0027] S33. After the addition is complete, heat the system to 75-85℃ and react for 2-3 hours;
[0028] S34. After the reaction is complete, the product is cooled to obtain the modified amine salt.
[0029] Preferably, in step S32, the weight ratio of intermediate A to amine salt is 1:5 to 1:10.
[0030] Preferably, the catalyst in step S11 is p-toluenesulfonic acid or concentrated sulfuric acid.
[0031] Preferably, the modified monomer in step S12 is at least one of itaconic acid, hydroxyethyl acrylate, or maleic anhydride.
[0032] Preferably, in step S4, the stirring speed is 300-500 rpm and the stirring time is 30-60 minutes.
[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0034] By introducing a specially prepared intermediate A to modify traditional amine salts at the molecular level, the film-forming properties and adhesion strength of the corrosion inhibitor are significantly improved. Intermediate A, as a functional polymer, can graft copolymerize with the amine salt to form a dense, stable, and hydrophobic protective film on the metal surface. This film can more effectively block the contact between corrosive media and the metal substrate, thereby increasing the corrosion inhibition efficiency from approximately 70% of ordinary amine salts to over 90%, achieving highly efficient protection.
[0035] By scientifically combining modified amine salts, metal passivators, and dispersants, a remarkable synergistic effect is achieved among the components. The modified amine salts, acting as the main film-forming agent, construct a macroscopic barrier, while the metal passivators preferentially adsorb onto metal active sites, inhibiting localized corrosion. The dispersants not only ensure the product's uniform stability during storage but also promote the uniform dispersion and targeted delivery of active ingredients during application, ensuring their rapid arrival at the metal surface and full effectiveness. Together, they construct a multi-layered, comprehensive, three-dimensional protective system.
[0036] The final product of this invention can precisely cope with the complex and harsh corrosive environment of the top of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation tower in oil refining units. It not only solves the industry pain points of insufficient efficiency and unstable protective film of traditional water-soluble corrosion inhibitors, but also, due to its excellent water solubility and stability, facilitates on-site dilution and precise injection, making operation simple and providing reliable technical support for the long-term safe operation and cost reduction and efficiency improvement of oil refining units.

[0135] 3.2 Results Analysis
[0136] Overall validity verification:
[0137] The corrosion inhibition rate of the control group (Example 2) was as high as 90.5%, and the corrosion rate was much lower than that of the blank group, which fully demonstrates that the corrosion inhibitor formulation provided by the present invention has excellent corrosion inhibition performance under simulated working conditions.
[0138] Analysis of the role of key components:
[0139] The key role of intermediate A (Comparative Example 1 vs. Control Group): The corrosion inhibition rate of Comparative Example 1 (without intermediate A modification) (73.0%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (90.5%). This indicates that the corrosion inhibition performance of ordinary amine salts is limited, while the modification of amine salts by intermediate A prepared in steps S1 and S3 greatly improves the film-forming properties and protective effect of the corrosion inhibitor.
[0140] The necessity of metal passivators (Comparative Example 2 vs. Control Group): The corrosion inhibition rate of Comparative Example 2 (without metal passivator) (79.8%) was significantly lower than that of the control group. This indicates that in acidic and complex media containing sulfur and chloride ions, a single adsorption-type corrosion inhibitor (modified amine salt) is insufficient to completely suppress corrosion. Metal passivators can effectively complex metal ions, forming a dense protective film on the metal surface, and producing a significant synergistic effect with organic corrosion inhibitors.
[0141] Function of dispersant (Comparative Example 3 vs. Control Group): The corrosion inhibition rate (80.0%) of Comparative Example 3 (without dispersant) was also lower than that of the control group. This indicates that the dispersant not only ensures the storage stability of the product, but may also promote the uniform dispersion of each effective component in the corrosive medium during application, allowing it to reach the metal surface more effectively, thereby enhancing the overall synergistic effect.
[0142] This invention uses modified amine salts as the main film-forming agent, metal passivators to provide auxiliary protection, and dispersants to ensure system stability and efficient component transport. These three components form a synergistic whole. The absence of any one of these components will lead to a significant decrease in corrosion inhibition performance.
