Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of drag reduction technology, and particularly relates to a simple drag reduction polymer liquid dispersion method, a drag reduction dispersion liquid and application, especially for the dispersion of drag reduction polymer in one-time addition. BACKGROUND

[0002] Drag reduction technology has always been a hot topic of scientific research because it can make marine vehicles achieve the purpose of speed increase, range increase and energy saving. At present, high polymer dilute solution is an effective drag reduction method, and the highest drag reduction rate can reach 80% under certain drag reduction conditions. When configuring the solution, the solid drag reduction polymer is not easy to disperse due to the flocculation effect, and the solution configuration time is long. Therefore, in actual engineering application, it is of great significance to speed up the dispersion speed of drag reduction polymer in one-time addition.

[0003] Patent CN 111286204B discloses a high molecular composite that can be quickly dissolved or dispersed in a water-containing solvent, a preparation method and application thereof. The dissolved high polymer needs to be dissolved in water and then dried, and the preparation process is complex. If a drag reduction polymer is used, its structure may be damaged.

[0004] Patent CN 114736504A discloses a method for dissolving drag reduction polymer powder, which uses sodium bicarbonate and citric acid to generate gas to promote the dispersion and dissolution of the high polymer. In a closed space, a gas discharge device needs to be additionally added, which increases the load of the drag reduction carrier.

[0005] In the invention disclosed in CN112316794A, a polyacrylamide polymer dispersion device and a dissolution system are disclosed. The system introduces compressed air into the polyacrylamide conveying pipeline to speed up the delivery of polyacrylamide medicine to the dissolution tank, and realizes the dissolution of polyacrylamide through stirring in the dissolution tank. This method accelerates the rapid delivery of raw materials to a certain extent, but the mechanical stirring method still needs a long time, and the high shear rate during stirring can damage the molecular structure of polyacrylamide, reducing the drag reduction effect.

[0006] Patent CN 109173917A discloses a high polymer concentrated solution rapid and uniform dilution device, which mixes and dilutes the drag reduction polymer concentrated solution with water into a drag reduction polymer dilute solution and then applies it to drag reduction. However, a large amount of concentrated solution needs to be prepared in advance, which is not convenient to carry, and increases the load of the drag reduction carrier.

[0007] Patent CN107698708A discloses a preparation method of a salt-resistant instant drag reducer, which is prepared by a series of reactions of various chemical raw materials under specific conditions to generate a salt-resistant drag reducer. However, the reaction process is complex, the reaction environment is high, and the reaction time is as long as 5-6 hours, which does not meet the requirements of instant use.

[0008] Based on the slow dispersion of the existing high polymer drag reduction technology in one-time addition, based on the principle of liquid phase dispersion, the application provides a simple drag reduction high polymer liquid phase dispersion method, a drag reduction dispersion liquid and application.

[0017] Weigh the required drag reduction dispersion liquid obtained in step 2, add it into water once, and stir for 20 seconds to obtain the drag reduction solution.

[0018] The further technical scheme of the application is: the liquid phase dispersion body is glycerol; the liquid phase dispersion body is miscible with water, and is slightly soluble or insoluble with the solid phase dispersion body and the drag reduction high polymer.

[0019] The further technical scheme of the application is: the solid phase dispersion body is polyethylene glycol 2000-20000, table salt or granulated sugar, which has dispersibility, adsorbability and water solubility.
