AI Technical Summary
Existing oilfield scale inhibitors are difficult to simultaneously inhibit multiple scale types under complex operating conditions, especially barium sulfate (strontium) scale, which has low scale inhibition efficiency. Furthermore, traditional scale inhibitors are not environmentally friendly and can easily lead to eutrophication of water bodies.

Abstract
Description
A sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor, its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer water treatment technology, specifically to a sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] As oilfield exploitation gradually enters the medium-to-high water-cut stage, reservoir conditions become increasingly complex and demanding: reservoir temperature rises, formation water salinity increases, and there are significant differences in compatibility between injected water and formation water, leading to frequent scaling phenomena on formation pores, wellbore, oil pipelines, and the surface of oil production equipment.
[0003] Currently, oilfields mainly rely on adding chemical scale inhibitors to prevent scale buildup. However, existing products have significant limitations under complex operating conditions: single scale inhibitors are too targeted and cannot simultaneously inhibit multiple scale types such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate (strontium), especially for insoluble scale such as barium sulfate (strontium). Some traditional scale inhibitors contain phosphorus and are difficult to biodegrade after use, which can easily lead to eutrophication of water bodies and does not meet the requirements of environmental protection and "dual carbon" development.
[0004] Given the complex problems of high temperature, high salinity, and excessive scaling in existing technologies, this invention aims to develop a multifunctional and highly efficient scale inhibitor to better address the scaling challenges in oilfield development. This has significant practical implications for improving oil recovery, reducing production and maintenance costs, and achieving green and safe production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention, based on the concept of high-value utilization of biomass resources, selects sodium lignosulfonate as the base material. While sodium lignosulfonate possesses certain scale inhibition potential, its active functional groups are insufficient in number and variety, and its molecular spatial configuration lacks sufficient chelation and dispersion sites, making it difficult to adapt to the high-temperature, high-salinity, and high-mineralization oilfield produced water environment. This invention, through modification, can significantly improve its scale inhibition performance: on the one hand, it can simultaneously address various scale types such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium (strontium) sulfate, especially showing significant inhibition efficiency against barium (strontium) sulfate scale; on the other hand, the raw material is derived from renewable biomass, featuring good biodegradability, wide availability, and low cost, balancing environmental protection and economic efficiency, and better meeting the needs of green and sustainable oilfield development.
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor, its preparation method and application, thereby solving the technical problem of how to improve the scale inhibition performance of scale inhibitors in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention provides a sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor with the following general structural formula: Where x and y are any integers from 1 to 10, and lignin represents the aromatic structural skeleton of sodium lignin sulfonate molecule derived from lignin parent.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a method for preparing the above-mentioned sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor, comprising the following steps: S1, mixing maleic anhydride and a first solvent, then mixing with sodium lignosulfonate, and then reacting in a water bath at 60~70℃ to obtain an SL-MA solution; S2, adding imidazoline and formaldehyde to the SL-MA solution and reacting at 40~50℃ to obtain the SL-MA-KIL solution; S3, adding itaconic acid to the SL-MA-KIL solution and reacting at 80~90℃ to obtain the sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor.
[0009] In any embodiment, in step S1, the reaction time in a water bath at 60~70°C is 6-8 hours.
[0010] In any embodiment, in step S1, the molar ratio of the lignin sulfonic acid to the maleic anhydride is 1:(6~9).
[0011] In any embodiment, in step S2, the imidazoline is added at a molar ratio of 1:(0.7-0.8) of imidazoline to sodium lignosulfonate.
[0012] In any embodiment, in step S2, the reaction time at 40-50°C is 3-4 hours.
[0013] In any embodiment, in step S3, the molar ratio of the lignin sulfonic acid to the itaconic acid is 1:(10 ~ 14).
[0014] In any embodiment, in step S3, the reaction time at 80-90°C is 4-5 hours.
[0015] In any embodiment, in step S1, the first solvent is pyridine.
[0016] In any embodiment, in step S1, the molar ratio of the first solvent to the maleic anhydride is (1-2):1.
[0017] In any embodiment, in step S2, the molar ratio of formaldehyde to imidazoline is (0.5~1):(2~5).
[0018] In any embodiment, in step S3, the initiator is ammonium persulfate.
[0019] In any embodiment, in step S3, the total mass ratio of the initiator, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, and formaldehyde is (0.5~1):10.
[0020] Furthermore, this invention also proposes the application of the above-mentioned sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor or the sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor prepared by the above preparation method in oilfield water treatment.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention include: the sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor molecule proposed in this invention introduces structural units such as carboxyl groups, benzene rings, and nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocycles. These functional groups significantly enhance scale inhibition efficiency through synergistic effects. Carboxyl groups can chelate scale-forming ions in water, inhibiting crystal nucleation; benzene rings interfere with the orderly growth of scale crystals through steric hindrance; and the nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocycles, with their multiple adsorption centers, expand their interaction sites with scale crystals and enhance their binding with scale crystals through intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, further hindering their aggregation and deposition. The complementary and synergistic effects of each unit give the synthesized compound the characteristics of high scale inhibition efficiency, low cost, and ease of application, effectively meeting the scale control needs under complex oilfield conditions.
[0022] Beneficial effects also include: the introduction of maleic anhydride as a modified monomer in this invention, directionally introducing active functional groups such as carboxyl groups into the product molecule, effectively chelating scale-forming ions in oilfield water and enhancing the dispersion of already formed microcrystals, inhibiting the nucleation, growth, and deposition of scale from the source, and ensuring the scale inhibition effect of the system under high temperature and high salinity conditions; the introduction of formaldehyde and imidazoline promotes the formation of a synergistic configuration of benzene ring and nitrogen-containing five-membered aromatic heterocycle (such as imidazoline ring) in the molecular structure. This structure not only interferes with the orderly arrangement of scale crystals through steric hindrance, but its nitrogen-containing heterocycle can also provide multiple adsorption sites and strengthen the binding with the scale crystal surface through interactions such as hydrogen bonding, further hindering crystal aggregation and deposition; sodium lignosulfonate, as a biomass-based framework, enhances the chemical stability and durability of the product under high temperature and high salinity environments with its stable aromatic ring structure; at the same time, this component is derived from renewable resources, has good biodegradability, meets the requirements of green chemistry and sustainable development, and the sodium lignosulfonate-based multifunctional scale inhibitor proposed in this invention has excellent and sufficient performance.
