Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of key anti-corrosion materials for marine engineering, and more specifically to an environmentally friendly compound constructed with functional integrated molecules, an intermediate, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The corrosive conditions in oil and gas fields, characterized by high temperatures and high acidity, pose a major obstacle to the safe and reliable operation of equipment. In the process of oil extraction and oil and gas transportation in oil fields, equipment pipes and other materials mainly made of metal often encounter a series of problems. One of the main problems is the corrosion of pipelines and equipment, which can lead to significant economic losses, high costs, environmental pollution and waste of resources. With the continuous deepening of oil and gas exploration and development, these problems have become more and more common.

[0003] Corrosion inhibitors are widely considered to be one of the most effective strategies to reduce steel corrosion due to their economy, high efficiency and ease of use. Corrosion inhibitors are still the main anti-corrosion method used in oil fields at home and abroad. Traditional corrosion inhibitors have biological and environmental toxicity, and the problems caused by them are becoming increasingly prominent. In the past, corrosion inhibitors were mostly compound, such as compound fungicides, which have the effect of corrosion inhibition and sterilization, but often have many problems such as the use of hazardous chemicals, which further cause harm to the environment.

[0004] Therefore, the development of low-toxic, environmentally friendly green biological corrosion inhibitors has become a hot topic in current research. In order to reduce the use of chemicals, people are looking forward to synthesizing a corrosion inhibitor that integrates corrosion inhibition, sterilization, scale inhibition and other multifunctional functions, and finding more effective, more economical and more environmentally friendly anti-corrosion solutions, thereby improving the safety and production efficiency of oil and gas field equipment.

[0012]

[0013] A method for preparing the compound:

[0014] A1: Preparation of benzimidazole matrix: lauric acid and o-phenylenediamine are reacted in the presence of a solvent under nitrogen protection and gradient temperature increase to obtain a benzimidazole compound;

[0015] A2: Synthesis of intermediate I: The benzimidazole compound obtained in step A1 and sodium hydroxide are dissolved in an organic solvent, stirred at 55-65°C, and then epichlorohydrin is added to continue the reaction. After purification, the hydroxyl-containing intermediate I is obtained;

[0016] A3: Synthesis of Intermediate II: Mix Intermediate I and acryloyl chloride and dissolve them in an organic solvent. Adjust the system under alkaline conditions and react at 45-55°C to obtain Intermediate II containing a double bond.

[0017] A4: Preparation of final product: Intermediate II was mixed with CHPS-Na and subjected to quaternization reaction at 75-85°C, and the target compound was obtained after purification.

After the reaction, the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain a benzimidazole compound.

[0020] In the step A2, the benzimidazole compound obtained in the step A1 and sodium hydroxide are mixed in a molar ratio of 1:1.0-1.1; and in the step A3, the intermediate I and acryloyl chloride are mixed in a molar ratio of 1:1.0-1.05.

A new type of corrosion inhibitor is molecularly designed based on the benzimidazole matrix structure. Through fine organic synthesis of the benzimidazole structure, various functional groups such as hydroxyl and sulfonic acid groups are successfully introduced, thereby significantly enhancing its performance diversity and application potential.

[0029] The core purpose of this invention is to establish an efficient and stable corrosion inhibition system to deal with the corrosion problem of metal equipment in high temperature and extreme environment during oil and gas field exploitation.

[0031] The present invention not only provides a new idea and method for the development of oil and gas field corrosion inhibitors, but also makes a positive contribution to promoting the sustainable development of the oil and gas field mining industry. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0069] The test results are shown in Table 2 below:

[0070] Table 2

[0071]

[0072] Referring to the data in the above table, it can be seen from Groups 1 to 3 that the addition of corrosion inhibitors can effectively inhibit corrosion within a certain temperature range. As the temperature rises, the corrosion inhibitor molecules maintain their adsorption behavior and form bonds with the carbon steel surface, thereby quickly adsorbing and covering the active sites. The long-chain alkyl group enhances the hydrophobicity and stability of the substance. Achieving a lower dose can produce a higher level of corrosion inhibition, which shows that the corrosion inhibitor has excellent corrosion protection. The table clearly shows that regardless of concentration or temperature, the addition of corrosion inhibitors has strong corrosion inhibition properties in simulated solutions of oil and gas fields. It can provide effective and stable corrosion protection over a wide range of concentrations. Group 4 compares the performance of benzimidazole and the new corrosion inhibitor synthesized after modification of benzimidazole in the present invention in a high-scale solution, and it can also be clearly seen that the performance is excellent after modification.

[0073] 2. Conduct static scale inhibition test of multifunctional corrosion inhibitor

[0074] The static scale inhibition test adopts the applicable standards specified in the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB / T 16632-2019 to evaluate the scale inhibition performance of the multifunctional corrosion inhibitor. In order to evaluate the scale inhibition effect of the compound represented by Formula 1 of the present invention, the static scale inhibition efficiency of the compound represented by Formula 1 and benzimidazole was compared, and the test results are as follows Figure 3 As shown:

[0075] It can be seen from the data in the figure that under the condition of adding the same mass, the static scale inhibition efficiency of benzimidazole is above 8%, while the static scale inhibition efficiency of the compound represented by formula 1 of the present invention is above 80%, which is significantly higher than that of benzimidazole, and the scale inhibition efficiency is nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of benzimidazole.

[0076] 3. Conduct fluorescence microscope observation test on the bactericidal performance of multifunctional corrosion inhibitor

[0077] In order to verify the bactericidal performance of the multifunctional additive, a fluorescence microscope observation test was conducted, and Q235 steel was immersed in simulated oil field produced water containing SRB bacteria (the components are shown in Table 1 of Example Group 1, and the pH is about 5) with or without the compound shown in Formula 1 and cultured for 7 days. The test results are as follows Figure 4 As shown:

[0078] The SRB bacteria used in the simulated oilfield produced water containing SRB bacteria need to be cultured for 2 days before addition, and the order of magnitude is 10 6The volume ratio of SRB bacterial solution to simulated oilfield produced water was 1:100.

[0079] In the fluorescence images, green and red represent live and dead bacteria, respectively. In the control group without the addition of the multifunctional corrosion inhibitor (Figure (ac)), some live cells and very few dead cells were shown. After the addition of the multifunctional corrosion inhibitor (Figure (eg)), the number of live bacteria decreased significantly, while the number of dead bacteria increased. This indicates that the multifunctional corrosion inhibitor can effectively inhibit the growth of SRB biofilm. The observed decrease in the number of live bacteria and increase in the number of dead bacteria indicate that the multifunctional corrosion inhibitor can not only inhibit the proliferation of SRB, but also cause cell death, which is a key factor in inhibiting biofilm formation and subsequent corrosion processes.

[0080] All the above test results show that the environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor constructed with functional integrated molecules prepared by the present invention has excellent performance, high efficiency and durability, low dosage and high efficiency, and has significant application value and broad market prospects.
