Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of energy and chemical industry, and specifically relates to a stabilizer for fuel oil containing ethylene tar and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of energy today, fuel oil containing ethylene tar, as an important energy material, has been widely used in industrial production and daily life. However, the fuel oil faces many problems in storage and use, which need to be solved urgently.

[0003] Firstly, the fuel oil containing ethylene tar is prone to oxidation during storage, which leads to a decrease in its quality. Oxidation reaction generates harmful substances such as peroxide, aldehyde, and ketone, which not only reduce the calorific value of the fuel oil but also may produce carbon deposition during combustion, affecting the combustion efficiency and equipment life. Therefore, an effective antioxidant is needed to inhibit oxidation and maintain the stability of the fuel oil.

[0004] Secondly, solid particles in the fuel oil are prone to aggregation and sedimentation, affecting the flowability and uniformity of the fuel oil. This phenomenon can cause uneven injection and incomplete combustion of the fuel oil during transportation and combustion, reducing combustion efficiency and increasing pollutant emissions. In order to improve the dispersion stability of the fuel oil, a high-efficiency nanoscale dispersant is needed to uniformly disperse the solid particles in the fuel oil and prevent their re-aggregation.

[0005] In addition, metal ions contained in the fuel oil are prone to react with other components in the fuel oil, accelerating the deterioration of the fuel oil. Metal ions may also form metal oxides during combustion, causing corrosion and wear of combustion equipment. Therefore, a metal passivator is needed to passivate metal ions to prevent their negative impact on the stability of the fuel oil.

[0006] In practical application, the viscosity of the fuel oil is also a key factor. Fuel oil with too high viscosity can cause transportation difficulties and incomplete combustion, while fuel oil with too low viscosity can affect the lubrication performance and combustion stability of the fuel oil. Therefore, a viscosity modifier is needed to adjust the viscosity of the fuel oil to maintain a suitable viscosity range during storage and use.

[0007] In summary, there is a lack of a stabilizer that can simultaneously solve the problems of oxidation resistance, dispersion stability, metal passivation, and viscosity adjustment of fuel oil containing ethylene tar in the market. Based on this market demand, the present application provides a stabilizer for fuel oil containing ethylene tar and a preparation method thereof to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, improve the comprehensive performance of the fuel oil, and meet the high-quality development needs of the energy field.
