Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of acrolein preparation, and in particular to a method for industrially preparing acrolein. Background Art

[0002] After long-term use, oil wells have serious scaling and corrosion problems, serious reduction in oil recovery efficiency, and water injection problems caused by sulfides and bacteria during water injection or secondary oil recovery in oil fields to improve water quality and secondary oil recovery. Biocides are used in oil fields to prevent high-speed bacterial reproduction. Commonly used chemical agents include glutaraldehyde, quaternary ammonium, and thiophosphate (THPS). The basic goal of biocides is to prevent fixed bacteria from approaching and penetrating the protective layer of the biofilm. In general, chemical biocides can achieve this effect. Quaternary ammonium substances are most effective in penetrating EPS, which surrounds the fixed biofilm. However, the characteristics of quaternary ammonium surfactants cause a decrease in production when treating injection wells, and a reduction in product in water injection filters, which limits their use in water flooding. When higher concentrations of surfactants are required to control bacteria, it may cause damage to the formation.

[0003] Acrolein or 2-propenal has been successfully used as a chemical agent to control sessile bacteria in water injection systems. It is a non-corrosive, non-surfactant. Water-soluble biocides exhibit excellent oil solubility and are able to penetrate oil-encapsulated surfaces and biofilms to effectively treat sessile bacteria. The mechanism by which acrolein treats bacteria is by reacting with the sulfonyl and amino groups in proteins, denaturing proteins and enzymes in bacterial cells. Compared with traditional biocides, acrolein is most effective in controlling aerobic bacteria, facultative anaerobic bacteria (GAB), and SRB. Adding acrolein to oilfield water is a good treatment method to improve water quality and solve water injection problems caused by bacteria and sulfides during secondary oil recovery.

[0004] CN103261141A discloses a continuous method for producing acrolein by catalytic dehydration of glycerol or glycerol in the presence of an acid catalyst. The method uses a solid acid catalyst and a fluidized bed reactor process, and needs to prepare acrolein under fluidized gas conditions. The parameters in the preparation process are difficult to control, and the fluidized bed reactor is difficult to move, so it is difficult to achieve industrial application in oil fields.

[0005] Since acrolein has extremely harsh storage conditions and is extremely unstable in nature, it is very difficult to store and transport. Oil fields are generally located in remote areas, especially offshore drilling platforms, which have small spaces and are far away from the mainland. This affects the application of acrolein, a high-efficiency oilfield wastewater treatment agent, in oil fields. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the technical problem in the prior art that acrolein is difficult to realize industrial application in oilfield wastewater treatment.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for industrially preparing acrolein, which is carried out in a skid-mounted acrolein production device, wherein the skid-mounted acrolein production device comprises a mixer 3, a metering pump 4, a reaction container 10 and an acrolein collector 12 connected in sequence, wherein the mixer 3 comprises a cavity 301 and a flow guide 302 arranged in the cavity 301 and parallel to the ground, and the cavity 301 is provided with a glycerol inlet 304, an ionic liquid catalyst inlet 305 and The setting points of the mixed raw material discharge port 306, the glycerol inlet 304 and the ionic liquid catalyst inlet 305 are higher than the guide member 302, and the setting point of the mixed raw material discharge port 306 is lower than the guide member 302. Each of the guide members 302 is provided with a plurality of corner flow members 303, and the angle α between the corner flow member 303 and the guide member 302 is 10°-60°. The setting direction of the corner flow member 303 is opposite to the flow direction of the material in the mixer 3;

[0008] The method comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1: mixing glycerol and an ionic liquid catalyst in the mixer 3 to obtain a mixed raw material, wherein the ionic liquid catalyst comprises a pyridine ionic liquid and an imidazole ionic liquid, and in the ionic liquid catalyst, the weight ratio of the pyridine ionic liquid to the imidazole ionic liquid is 1:1-5, and the mixing weight ratio of the glycerol to the ionic liquid catalyst is 1:0.01-0.05;

[0010] S2: The mixed raw material is introduced into the reaction medium in the reaction container 10 by the metering pump 4 for dehydration reaction to generate an acrolein product, and the acrolein product is collected and stored by the acrolein collector 12, wherein the introduction rate of the mixed raw material is 0.5 g / min to 50 g / min per 1 kg of the reaction medium.

[0011] The method provided by the present invention is carried out in a skid-mounted acrolein production device, and acrolein can be prepared without the presence of fluidized gas. Parameters in the preparation process are easy to control, and the acrolein production efficiency is high. Acrolein can be produced on-site in an oil field where sewage needs to be treated, and the acrolein can be used immediately after production. In addition, the skid-mounted acrolein production device has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and transport, and can repeatedly prepare acrolein in different oil fields, thus solving the technical problem that acrolein is difficult to apply to oilfield sewage treatment due to its extremely unstable properties and difficulty in storage and transportation, and can realize the industrial application of acrolein in the field of oilfield sewage treatment.
