Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of emulsifiers, specifically to the application of a compound as an emulsifier, emulsifier compositions, emulsifying acid systems and emulsifying acids and their applications, and methods for preparing emulsifying acids. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasingly widespread application of emulsified acids, high-temperature stability is currently the most pressing issue to be addressed. As an emulsion system, the stability of emulsified acids is directly related to the emulsifier. The emulsifier directly determines the strength of the oil-water interfacial film and the contact area of the lipophilic groups during emulsion formation. A stronger interfacial film results in a lower degree of uneven distribution of the emulsifier on the film, and a lower tendency for demulsification. A larger and tighter contact area of the lipophilic groups leads to greater anti-polymerization properties and stability of the emulsion. Therefore, ensuring the high-temperature stability of emulsified acids places high demands on the emulsifiers used in them. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of instability of emulsified acids under high-temperature conditions in existing technologies, and to provide an application of a compound as an emulsifier, an emulsifier composition, an emulsified acid system, an emulsified acid and its application, and a method for preparing an emulsified acid. This compound, as an emulsifier, ensures the high-temperature stability of the emulsified acid system by rationally designing the hydrophobic chain length and linker length, and by introducing sulfonate ions with strong hydration ability, acid resistance, and high-temperature resistance.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides the application of the compound represented by formula (1) as an emulsifier, characterized in that:
[0005]
[0006] Among them, A + B + Each is independently selected from metal cations;
[0007] R1 and R2 are each independently selected from H or C6-C16 alkyl groups; n is an integer from 1 to 9; m is an integer from 1 to 9; p is an integer from 1 to 9. Among them, -(CH2)SO3A and -(CH2)SO3B are hydrophilic groups; -NR1- and -NR2- are lipophilic groups; -(CH2) m - is a linking group.
[0008] A second aspect of the present invention provides an emulsifier composition comprising the above-mentioned emulsifier and a W / O type emulsifier.
[0009] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-described emulsifier composition in emulsified acid systems.
[0010] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an emulsified acid system comprising an acid, an oil, and the above-described emulsifier composition.
[0011] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides an emulsified acid, which is prepared according to the above-described emulsified acid system.
[0012] The sixth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an emulsified acid, the method comprising: dispersing the components in the above-mentioned emulsified acid system evenly to obtain the emulsified acid.
[0013] The seventh aspect of the present invention provides an application of the above-mentioned emulsified acid in oilfield acidification.
[0014] Through the above technical solutions, the application of the compound as an emulsifier, the emulsifier composition, the emulsifying acid system, the emulsifying acid and its application, and the preparation method of the emulsifying acid provided by the present invention achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention provides the application of the compound shown in formula (1) as an emulsifier. By rationally designing the length of the hydrophobic chain and the length of the linker, and introducing sulfonate ions with strong hydration ability, acid resistance, and high temperature resistance, a highly efficient emulsifier is obtained. This emulsifier is a cationic emulsifier under acidic conditions. Among them, the interaction between the hydrophilic end groups is adjusted: when the length of the linker is different, the interaction distance between the hydrophilic end groups is different, resulting in different packing densities, which strongly affects the adsorption and aggregation morphology and strength of the emulsifier at the interface. Within a certain range, the emulsifier is more tightly arranged at the interface and has better surface activity as the length of the linker increases, thus resulting in better high-temperature stability. The sulfonate group of the hydrophilic group has good acid resistance. Under acidic conditions, the emulsifier is more tightly arranged at the oil-water interface through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Within a certain range, increasing the number of carbon atoms of R1 and R2 can effectively enhance the intermolecular cohesion and improve the viscoelasticity of the adsorption film and the stability of the emulsion. Beyond a certain range, the number of carbon atoms of the hydrophobic group continues to increase, which will lead to a decrease in its solubility in the system.
[0016] This invention provides a high-performance emulsifier composition for high-temperature emulsified acids by combining an emulsifier with a specific structure provided by this invention with a W / O type emulsifier. This composition can be used for various oil phases such as light crude oil, diesel oil, and white oil. The W / O type emulsifier forms a wedge-shaped close-packed structure at the oil-water interface, forming a stable and dense interfacial film, which improves the stability of the emulsion system under acidic conditions. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The endpoints and any values of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
[0018] The first aspect of the present invention provides the use of the compound represented by formula (1) as an emulsifier:
[0019]
[0020] Among them, A + B + Each R1 and R2 is independently selected from a metal cation; each R1 and R2 is independently selected from H or a C6-C16 alkyl group; n is an integer from 1 to 9; m is an integer from 1 to 9; p is an integer from 1 to 9. As a further explanation, when R1 and R2 are selected from C6-C16 alkyl groups, the present invention does not particularly limit whether the alkyl group is straight-chain or branched, but preferably a straight-chain alkane. Wherein, -(CH2)SO3A and -(CH2)SO3B are hydrophilic groups; -NR1- and -NR2- are lipophilic groups; -(CH2) m - is a linking group.
[0021] This invention, through the rational design of hydrophobic chain length and linker length, introduces sulfonate ions with strong hydration ability, acid resistance, and high temperature resistance to obtain a highly efficient emulsifier. This emulsifier is a cationic emulsifier under acidic conditions.
[0022] Furthermore, this invention regulates the interaction between hydrophilic end groups by adjusting the length of the linker. Different linker lengths result in different interaction distances between the hydrophilic end groups, leading to different packing densities and significantly affecting the adsorption, aggregation morphology, and strength of the emulsifier at the interface. Within a certain range, a longer linker length results in a more compact arrangement of the emulsifier at the interface, better surface activity, and thus better high-temperature stability. Additionally, the introduction of sulfonic acid groups with hydrophilic components provides better acid resistance. Under acidic conditions, intermolecular hydrogen bonding further enhances the compact arrangement of the emulsifier at the oil-water interface. Furthermore, within a certain range, increasing the carbon number of R1 and R2 effectively strengthens intermolecular cohesion, improving the viscoelasticity of the adsorption film and the stability of the emulsion. However, beyond a certain range, further increases in the carbon number of the hydrophobic groups lead to a decrease in their solubility within the system.
[0023] According to the present invention, in order to further improve the performance of the emulsifier, preferably, A + B + Each is independently selected from alkali metal cations (such as Na).+ K + Li + ), preferably Na + or K + Preferably, R1 and R2 are each independently a C8-C14 alkyl group, more preferably a C10-C12 alkyl group; preferably, n is an integer from 3 to 7, more preferably an integer from 3 to 5; preferably, m is an integer from 3 to 7, more preferably an integer from 3 to 5; preferably, p is an integer from 3 to 7, more preferably an integer from 3 to 5.
[0024] According to the present invention, A + B + They can be the same or different; R1 and R2 can be the same or different; n and p can be the same or different.
[0025] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, in the emulsifier shown in formula (1), A + B + All are Na + n, m, and p are all 3, and R1 and R2 are both C. 10 H 21 .
[0026] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, in the emulsifier shown in formula (1), A + B + All are Na + n, m, and p are all 3, and R1 and R2 are both C. 12 H 25 .
[0027] A second aspect of the present invention provides an emulsifier composition comprising the above-mentioned emulsifier and a W / O type emulsifier.
[0028] The emulsifier with the structure shown in formula (1) provided by the first aspect of the present invention has excellent acid resistance. When combined with a W / O type emulsifier with excellent interfacial stability, it forms an acid-resistant emulsifier that can withstand high temperatures up to 140°C. The W / O type emulsifier forms a wedge-shaped close-packed structure at the oil-water interface, forming a stable and dense interfacial film, thereby improving the stability of the emulsion system under acidic conditions.

[0030] In this invention, the use of the above-mentioned specific type of W / O emulsifier has the following advantages: First, under acidic conditions, through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the emulsifier with the structure shown in formula (1) is more tightly arranged at the oil-water interface, and has better acid resistance; Second, the adsorption membrane has high viscoelasticity and the emulsion has good stability.
[0031] According to the present invention, the mass ratio of the W / O type emulsifier and the emulsifier shown in formula (1) is 0.5-7:1.
[0032] In this invention, when the mass ratio of the emulsifier shown in formula (1) to the W / O type emulsifier meets the above range, as the total concentration of the emulsifier increases, the number of emulsifier molecules at the oil-acid interface increases, the film formed is more compact, and the system containing the emulsifier composition is more stable.
[0033] Taking into account the cost, the mass ratio of the W / O type emulsifier to the emulsifier shown in formula (1) is further 1-6:1, more preferably 2-5:1.
[0034] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-described emulsifier composition in emulsified acid systems.
[0035] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an emulsified acid system comprising an acid, an oil, and any one of the above-described emulsifier compositions.

[0040] According to the present invention, the acid is selected from organic acids and / or inorganic acids; preferably, it is one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrofluoric acid; the oil is selected from C8-C33 oils, preferably one of diesel oil, white oil, and light crude oil. As a further explanation, the density of diesel oil can be between 0.83 and 0.855 g / mL; the kinematic viscosity (40°C) of white oil can be between 4 and 11 m³ / mL.2 The relative density of light crude oil is generally between 0.75 and 0.95 g / mL, with a few exceeding 0.95 g / mL or falling below 0.75 g / mL.
[0041] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides an emulsified acid, which is prepared from the above-described emulsified acid system.
[0042] The sixth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an emulsified acid, the method comprising: dispersing the components in the above-mentioned emulsified acid system evenly to obtain the emulsified acid.
[0043] The present invention does not particularly limit the method of adding each component in the emulsified acid system, as long as the components can be evenly dispersed. For example, the following method can be used: dissolve the emulsifier composition in the oil, add the acid and disperse it evenly to obtain the emulsified acid.
[0044] This invention provides an exemplary method for preparing emulsified acids:
[0045] Step 1: Prepare hydrochloric acid solution;
[0046] Step 2: Measure the oil phase, add the emulsifier, and heat and stir in a water bath at 40-60℃ until completely dissolved;

[0145] Table 4. Composition and test results of raw materials for the emulsified acid system
[0146]
[0147] Emulsifier A is a major component, forming a wedge-shaped close-packed structure at the oil-water interface, resulting in a stable and dense interfacial film and improving the stability of the emulsified acid. Emulsifier B is a minor component with good acid resistance. Under acidic conditions, through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, emulsifier A forms a more compact arrangement at the oil-water interface. It also contains hydrophobic tail chains, which effectively enhance intermolecular cohesion, improving the viscoelasticity of the adsorption film and the stability of the emulsion. The experimental results in Table 3 show that the emulsifier composition of emulsifier A2 and emulsifier B2 has the best emulsifying effect. Under the premise of unchanged emulsifier types, the emulsified acid exhibits the best thermal stability when the mass ratio of emulsifier A:B is m(A):m(B) = 3:1. Furthermore, within a certain range, the total amount of emulsifier significantly affects emulsion stability. Increased emulsifier concentration leads to more emulsifier molecules at the oil-acid interface, resulting in a more compact film and a more stable system. In Example 17, the decrease in demulsification rate was mainly due to a reduction in acid content; the amount of emulsifier composition had little effect.
[0148] This invention uses two emulsifiers and optimizes the conditions to form a high-temperature resistant acid emulsifier. It can be stable for more than 2 days in a 25wt% HCl solution at a high temperature of 140℃, and can be used as an important additive for high-temperature emulsified acid systems.

Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
