Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of protection technology for oil and gas gathering and transportation systems, specifically to an amine-doped graphene quantum dot corrosion inhibitor for oil and gas field gathering and transportation. Background Technology
[0002] CO2 is often present in oil and gas as a component of natural gas or associated gas, leading to significant carbon dioxide corrosion in oil and gas gathering and transportation systems. The high salinity of produced water further accelerates this corrosion. Corrosion products such as FeCO3 and sludge deposit as scale on the surfaces of pipes and equipment, causing under-deposit corrosion and resulting in severe localized corrosion and failure. This can also cause blockages, exacerbating problems such as wax deposition, asphalt formation, and blistering.
[0003] Adding corrosion inhibitors is one of the most common methods to suppress corrosion of produced water in oilfield gathering and transportation systems. Currently, the most commonly used corrosion inhibitors are mainly imidazoline derivatives and quinoline quaternary ammonium salts, often combined with thiourea and its derivatives to improve corrosion inhibition performance. Organic solvents and surfactants are also added to meet physicochemical performance requirements. However, the phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur components in commonly used corrosion inhibitors contribute to eutrophication of water bodies; surfactants are generally organochlorine compounds, which are toxic and harmful substances and environmentally unfriendly; organic solvents cause significant environmental pollution. Therefore, currently used corrosion inhibitors are all environmentally unfriendly chemical products. With the promulgation of new environmental protection laws, new environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors are constantly being developed. Graphene quantum dots possess a variety of excellent properties; their good chemical inertness, barrier properties after planar spreading, and high hydrophobicity enable their application in the field of metal corrosion protection. Although graphene quantum dots can spread on metal surfaces to form a protective film and have a corrosion inhibition effect, the adsorption effect of ordinary graphene quantum dots is uneven and the adsorption strength is insufficient, resulting in an insignificant corrosion inhibition effect. Therefore, it is necessary to modify graphene quantum dots to improve their adsorption capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an amine-doped graphene quantum dot corrosion inhibitor for oil and gas field gathering and transportation.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An amine-doped graphene quantum dot corrosion inhibitor for oil and gas field gathering and transportation comprises 30%–45% amine-doped functionalized graphene quantum dots, 5%–15% dispersant and 40%–65% water.
[0007] Preferably, the dispersant is a DMF solution or a chloroform solution.
[0008] The preferred method for preparing amine-doped graphene quantum dots is as follows:
[0009] S1, Dissolve solid citric acid and organic amine in distilled water and stir to obtain the stock solution;
[0010] S2, dry the original solution to obtain the reaction product;
[0011] S3, wash the reaction product and centrifuge to obtain amine-doped functionalized graphene quantum dots.
[0012] Preferably, in S1, the molar ratio of the solid citric acid to the organic amine is 1:(2.5 to 3.5), the concentration of citric acid in the stock solution is 0.1 mmol / L to 5 mmol / L, and the concentration of the organic amine is 0.1 mmol / L to 15 mmol / L.
[0013] Preferably, in S1, the organic amine is urea, hexamethylenediamine, ethylenediamine, or ethanolamine.
[0014] Preferably, in S2, the drying temperature is 60℃~200℃.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] This invention discloses an amine-doped graphene quantum dot corrosion inhibitor for oil and gas field gathering and transportation. It contains no solvents, synergists, or other chemical agents, only amine-doped functionalized graphene quantum dots and a dispersant. It is environmentally friendly. The large π-bond electrons in the graphene quantum dots within the corrosion inhibitor molecules can form coordinate bonds with metallic iron, resulting in chemical adsorption. The two-dimensional structure of graphene spreads across the metal surface, acting as a corrosion-inhibiting adsorption film, isolating corrosive media such as water, CO2, and Cl-. After functionalization with organic amine doping, the nitrogen in the corrosion inhibitor molecules can strongly bind to the metal surface, acting as a rivet and enhancing the adsorption strength of graphene on the metal surface. The addition of a dispersant improves the uniformity and integrity of the corrosion inhibitor film; the two have a synergistic effect, achieving high-efficiency corrosion inhibition even without the addition of a synergist.
[0021] The corrosion inhibitor in this invention is a novel environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor that inhibits the corrosion of produced water in oil and gas field gathering and transportation systems. It has the characteristics of good corrosion inhibition effect, solvent-free, environmentally friendly, good water solubility, and low dosage. Attached Figure Description
