Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corrosion protection for sewage pipelines in oil and gas field surface systems, specifically to a mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt type corrosion inhibitor for sewage pipeline corrosion protection and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid social development, the demand for and utilization of oil and gas resources at home and abroad are gradually increasing. In order to ensure the needs of social production, major oil and gas fields at home and abroad are constantly expanding the scale of exploration, development and production.

[0003] During the large-scale extraction of oil and gas, hundreds of millions of tons of produced water are often generated. The composition of produced water is complex. Not only does it differ between different strata and different extraction methods, but the composition of produced water also varies at different times when treated at the same treatment point.

[0004] Therefore, wastewater from oil and gas extraction shares several similar characteristics: it is contaminated with crude oil, has a high degree of mineralization, and contains salts such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium sulfate, and magnesium chloride. As most oilfields in my country have entered the mid-to-late stages of extraction, in recent years, oil and gas fields have adopted processes such as water injection, nitrogen flooding, and carbon dioxide flooding to increase production. The high-mineralization wastewater combined with corrosive gases creates a harsh media system, leading to corrosion, perforation, and cracking of wastewater pipelines. This not only increases the maintenance costs of oilfields but also pollutes the environment and affects the safe operation of oil and gas fields.

[0005] Therefore, corrosion control of sewage pipelines has become a prominent problem in oilfields. Adding corrosion inhibitors is one of the commonly used measures to address corrosion in oilfields. However, due to the high salinity of sewage, its obvious tendency to scale, and its oxygen content, the corrosive conditions are quite harsh. Currently used corrosion inhibitors in oilfields are effective against CO2 / H2S corrosion, but their inhibitory effect is poor in sewage conditions. Therefore, this invention provides a corrosion inhibitor suitable for surface sewage systems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problem that existing technologies suffer from severe corrosion conditions due to the high mineralization of wastewater, and that currently used corrosion inhibitors are ineffective against CO2 / H2S corrosion, this invention provides a mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt corrosion inhibitor for wastewater pipeline corrosion protection and its preparation method. This corrosion inhibitor can reduce the corrosion rate of oilfield wastewater pipelines and water injection pipelines, extend pipeline service life, and improve the safe and reliable operation of pipelines. This corrosion inhibitor has advantages such as low dosage, low price, and ease of use.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt type corrosion inhibitor for corrosion protection of sewage pipelines, wherein the mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt type corrosion inhibitor is formulated according to the following mass ratio: 35-40% mixed Schiff base quaternized derivatives, 8-10% epoxy succinic acid serine copolymer, 4-6% acrylic acid, 6-8% polyol phosphate ester, 2-4% tartaric acid, 5-7% ethylene glycol, 4-6% surfactant, and 21-36% solvent.

As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the description is considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention:

[0031] This invention provides a mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt type corrosion inhibitor for corrosion protection of sewage pipelines. The corrosion inhibitor is provided by mass ratio as follows: 35-40% mixed Schiff base quaternized derivatives, 8-10% epoxy succinic acid serine copolymer, 4-6% acrylic acid, 6-8% polyol phosphate ester, 2-4% tartaric acid, 5-7% ethylene glycol, 4-6% surfactant, and 21-36% solvent isopropanol or ethanol; the surfactant is Span 80 or Tween 20.

[0032] The synthesis steps of the mixed Schiff base quaternized derivative are as follows: tung oil, cinnamaldehyde, and organic amine are added to a three-necked flask in a molar ratio of 0.5:0.5:1.2, then a certain amount of benzene is added and mixed evenly. The mixture is heated to a reflux temperature of 80°C and maintained for 8-10 hours. Then, the azeotrope of benzene and ethanol and the water produced in the reaction are removed by vacuum distillation at 60°C. After cooling, the Schiff base intermediate is obtained.

[0033] Add the quaternizing reagent to a three-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and condenser. Stir and heat to 90°C for 6 hours, then cool to obtain a mixed Schiff base quaternized derivative.

[0034] The quaternizing agent is dimethyl sulfate or benzyl chloride.

[0037] The first step is to synthesize a mixed Schiff base intermediate.

[0038] Tung oil, cinnamaldehyde, and hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine were added to a three-necked flask in a molar ratio of 0.5:0.5:1.2. Then, a certain amount of benzene was added and mixed evenly. The mixture was heated to a reflux temperature of 80°C and kept reacting for 8-10 hours. Then, the benzene and the water produced in the reaction were removed by vacuum distillation at 60°C. After cooling, a mixed Schiff base intermediate was obtained.

[0039] The second step is to synthesize mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt derivatives.

[0040] A container equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and condenser is used to add the synthesized Schiff base intermediate and quaternizing reagent. After stirring and heating to 90°C for 5-6 hours, the mixture is cooled to room temperature to obtain the Schiff base quaternized derivative.

Then, remove benzene and water produced by the reaction by vacuum distillation at 60°C. After cooling, the mixed Schiff base intermediate is obtained.

[0044] The second step involves adding the synthesized mixed Schiff base intermediate to a three-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and condenser, then adding 1 mol of dimethyl sulfate as a quaternizing agent. After stirring and heating to 90°C for 5-6 hours, the mixture is cooled to room temperature to obtain the mixed Schiff base quaternized derivative.

[0045] The third step involves adding epoxy succinate serine copolymer, acrylic acid, polyol phosphate, ethylene glycol, and solvent to the synthesized mixed Schiff base quaternary ammonium salt derivative according to the weight ratio of the corrosion inhibitor main agent and the compound as described above. After stirring in an appropriate amount, a surfactant is added and the mixture is stirred evenly to obtain the corrosion inhibitor product of the present invention.
