Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crude oil processing, in particular to a comb copolymer demulsifier and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of tertiary oil recovery (TER) technologies in the oil and gas industry, a series of enhanced oil recovery methods, such as thermal flooding, miscible flooding, chemical flooding, and microbial flooding, have been widely applied in practical production. However, the use of these technologies inevitably produces large amounts of oil-water emulsions. Factors influencing the formation and stability of emulsions include low interfacial tension, the formation of an oil-water interfacial film, the formation of a diffuse double layer, the adsorption of solid particles, temperature, emulsion pH, and salinity. The presence of oil-water emulsions not only reduces pipeline service life and increases storage and transportation risks, but can also cause severe corrosion of production equipment during crude oil production. Therefore, demulsification of oil-water emulsions is of paramount importance.

[0003] Chemical demulsification has attracted widespread attention in the petroleum industry due to its high efficiency and low production volume. Traditional demulsifiers primarily use ethylene oxide and propylene oxide as raw materials. For example, Chinese patent application CN 115558096A discloses a comb-shaped cardanol polyether demulsifier, which is produced by block polymerization of cardanol with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide under the action of an alkaline catalyst.

[0004] Although the demulsifier obtained by the above scheme has a high dehydration rate, it has problems such as high demulsification temperature and complex synthesis process. The demulsifier is not universal and cannot achieve demulsification under acidic, alkaline and high salinity conditions, and will cause secondary pollution and harm the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present application provides a comb copolymer demulsifier and a preparation method and application thereof, which has high demulsification efficiency and strong adaptability.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008]

[0009] Wherein, x is selected from an integer of 1-5, and R is selected from C3-C 18 alkyl.

[0011] Preferably, the diglycidyl ether compound includes one or more of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, triethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, tetraethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, and pentaethylene glycol diglycidyl ether.

[0012] Preferably, the primary amine is R-NH2, wherein R is selected from C3-C 18 alkyl.

[0013] Preferably, the temperature of the ring-opening polymerization reaction is 60-150° C., and the reaction time is 6-12 h.

[0014] Preferably, the primary amine is dodecylamine.

[0015] Preferably, the diglycidyl ether compound is diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether.

[0016] Preferably, the ring-opening polymerization reaction is carried out under the protection of an inert gas.

[0017] In a third aspect, the present application provides an application of a comb copolymer demulsifier in demulsifying crude oil emulsions.

[0018] Preferably, the demulsification temperature is 40-70°C.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: The present application adopts primary amine and polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether as reaction raw materials, which not only ensures the safety of the synthesis, but also reduces the cost of raw materials. The obtained comb-like alternating copolymer demulsifier has the ability to greatly reduce interfacial tension and destroy the original interfacial film, and can effectively promote the demulsification process. The prepared comb-like alternating copolymer demulsifier can bridge adjacent droplets in the emulsion, destroy the interfacial film formed by the original natural surfactant on the surface of the droplets, and form an unstable and easily destructible composite interfacial film. The comb-like alternating copolymer demulsifier of the present invention has the characteristics of simple preparation method, low demulsification temperature, short demulsification time, and excellent demulsification performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the synthesis principle of the comb-shaped alternating copolymer demulsifier prepared in Example 1.

[0021] Figure 2 This is the infrared spectrum of the comb-shaped alternating copolymer demulsifier prepared in Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] The present application provides a comb copolymer demulsifier, which is a polymer comprising repeating units as shown in formula I,

[0024]

[0025] Wherein, x is selected from an integer of 1-5, and R is selected from C3-C 18 Alkyl, a structure formed by ring-opening of diglycidyl ether compounds and alternating combination with primary amines.

[0026] It is understood that the general chemical structure of the polymer is as shown in Formula II,

[0027]

[0028] Wherein, x is selected from an integer of 1-5, and R is selected from C3-C 18 Alkyl, y is selected from an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the wavy line represents the end group; the end group includes one or two of the following structures:

[0029] -H; -NH-R; that is, the wavy line represents one or two of Formula III, Formula IV; -H; -NH-R.

[0030] Correspondingly, the structure of the comb copolymer demulsifier of the present application includes but is not limited to the following structure:

[0031]

[0032] In other comb copolymer demulsifier structures, the end can be the same as the above three structural formulas, the difference is that it contains The structure has a number of repeating units greater than or equal to 2, and a suitable but non-limiting number of repeating units y=2-50.

[0033] The comb-like copolymer demulsifier described in this application is an alternating copolymer. Compared to conventional hydrophobic-hydrophilic-hydrophobic demulsifiers, this application has longer molecular chains, and the long hydrophobic chains on the polymer side chains have stronger interfacial activity. In the emulsion, it can not only bridge adjacent water droplets, promoting droplet flocculation and coalescence, but also more easily replace the emulsifier on the original interfacial film to form a new composite interfacial film. The composite interfacial film is less stable, giving it stronger demulsification ability. In addition, the structure of this application can improve its dispersibility in crude oil and promote its demulsification ability at low temperatures.

[0034] The present application provides a method for preparing a comb-like copolymer demulsifier, comprising the following steps: using primary amine and diglycidyl ether compounds as raw materials, performing a ring-opening reaction to obtain the comb-like copolymer demulsifier; the molar ratio of the primary amine to the diglycidyl ether compound is 1:1.

[0035] The chain length of the diglycidyl ether compound of the present application is strictly limited. It has 1-5 ethoxy groups and can provide moderate hydrophilicity. The diglycidyl ether compound is selected from ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, triethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, tetraethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, and pentaethylene glycol diglycidyl ether; the primary amine is R-NH2, wherein R is selected from C3-C 18 The alkyl group, the primary amine includes but is not limited to n-octylamine, dodecylamine, octadecylamine, preferably, the primary amine is dodecylamine. By strictly controlling the molar ratio of the primary amine and the diglycidyl ether, a ring-opening polymerization reaction is carried out to obtain a comb copolymer demulsifier.

[0036] The mechanism of obtaining the comb-like copolymer demulsifier in this scheme is as follows: primary amine and diglycidyl ether react in an equimolar ratio. The primary amine first reacts with an epoxy group of the diglycidyl ether compound to obtain a structure containing a secondary amine group. The secondary amine group in this structure also has strong activity and can react again with an epoxy group of another diglycidyl ether compound to obtain a tertiary amine structure, that is, the primary amine can react with two epoxy groups in a ring-opening reaction, that is, one primary amine can react with two diglycidyl ethers, and the epoxy groups at both ends can react with the primary amine. Therefore, when the ring-opening polymerization reaction is carried out in a 1:1 ratio, a copolymer with alternating hydrophilic segments and hydrophobic segments will be obtained, in which the hydroxyl groups at both ends and the ethoxy group in the middle are hydrophilic segments, and the primary amine is connected to the hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic long chain in the primary amine is the hydrophobic end, and the hydrophobic long chain on the copolymer long chain is like the teeth of a comb, thereby obtaining the comb-like copolymer demulsifier in this scheme.

[0037] The structural formula of the diglycidyl ether compound is shown in Formula V. Here, x is an integer from 1 to 5.

[0038] Correspondingly, the mechanism of this scheme can be described by the following reaction process:

[0039]

[0040] Wherein, x is selected from an integer of 1 to 5, and R is selected from C3-C 18 Alkyl, y is selected from an integer greater than or equal to 1, the wavy line represents the omitted repeating unit, and y also represents the number of repetitions of the omitted repeating unit. The repeating unit is

[0041] The temperature of the ring-opening polymerization reaction is 60-150° C., and the reaction time is 6-12 hours.

[0042] The ring-opening polymerization reaction was carried out under the protection of inert gas.

[0043] The present application provides an application of a comb-like copolymer demulsifier in demulsifying crude oil emulsions. The application comprises the following steps: dissolving the comb-like alternating copolymer demulsifier in a solvent to obtain a solution, then mixing the solution with the crude oil emulsion at 40-70°C and standing for 0.5-3 hours. After demulsification, the oil-water interface is clear, the water phase is clear, and the water content in the oil phase is low. The solvent is at least one of water, ethanol, toluene, and xylene, and the amount of the demulsifier added to the crude oil emulsion is 100-500 mg / L.
