Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of defoamer processing, and particularly relates to a composite defoamer for delayed coking and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Delayed coking is a heavy oil processing process with an operating temperature as high as over 480°C. A large amount of foam often occurs in the coking reactor. If not eliminated in time, it will cause liquid flooding in the coke tower, a decrease in heat exchange efficiency, and even abnormal operation of equipment. To inhibit foam, defoamers containing polysiloxane, mineral oil, silicone paste or hydrophobic particles are widely used in the industry.

[0003] In recent years, composite defoamers have gradually become a research hotspot due to their dual functions of "rapid foam breaking + long-lasting foam inhibition". Such products usually use organosilicon, non-silicon systems in combination with carrier particles or emulsifying matrices. By regulating the interfacial tension, inhibiting the stability of the foam film and prolonging the foam inhibition time, they have been initially applied industrially in high-temperature scenarios such as delayed coking and gas purification. However, there are still some problems with composite defoamers for delayed coking.

[0004] In the prior art, in a high-temperature environment, conventional silicone oil-based or emulsion-based defoaming components are prone to volatilization, decomposition or failure, resulting in a sudden drop in defoaming activity. Secondly, the foam formation mechanism is complex, involving multiple factors such as tar and suspended solids, and it is difficult for ordinary surfactants to accurately break the film or maintain long-term foam inhibition effects. To improve the thermal stability, foam inhibition persistence and dispersion stability of defoamers, nano-particles are often added as reinforcing materials, but nano-materials have poor dispersibility in defoamers and are prone to agglomeration, making it difficult to play the role of enhancing defoaming performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a composite defoamer for delayed coking and a preparation method thereof, which are used to solve the technical problem that the defoaming performance and foam inhibition performance of defoamers in the prior art need to be further improved.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A composite defoamer for delayed coking, comprising the following raw materials by mass parts: 10 - 15 parts of modified capsules, 30 - 40 parts of silicone oil, 1 - 3 parts of emulsifier, and 5 - 10 parts of thickening liquid; The modified capsules are prepared by the following steps: A1. Place the modified polysiloxane and modified silicone paste in a reaction kettle, heat up to 40 - 50°C, and keep stirring for 15 - 20 min to obtain a mixed oil phase; A2. Place chitosan and deionized water in a reaction kettle, add acetic acid solution to adjust the pH to 4 ± 0.5, add the mixed oil phase, carry out ultrasonic emulsification for 1 - 5 min, add sodium tripolyphosphate solution, stir for 5 - 10 min, and perform post-treatment to obtain the modified capsules.

[0007] The reaction principle for the preparation of the modified capsules is as follows: During the reaction process, the modified polysiloxane and the modified silicone paste form a homogeneous mixed oil phase under the condition of 40 - 50 °C. Under the condition of pH = 4 ± 0.5, the amino group in the chitosan molecule is protonated to , add the mixed oil phase to form small water-in-oil droplets. Chitosan is positively charged and is evenly distributed on the surface of the oil droplets. Sodium tripolyphosphate is a multi-anionic cross-linking agent, which can undergo electrostatic complexation with protonated chitosan to form a capsule shell layer, and after curing, the modified capsules are obtained.

[0008] The modified polysiloxane is prepared by the following steps: B1. Place polyethylene glycol, acrylic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and catechol in a reaction kettle protected by a nitrogen atmosphere, heat up to 140 - 160 °C, and keep the temperature for reaction for 2 - 4 h, and perform post-treatment to obtain the modified polyether ester; The reaction formula for the preparation of the modified polyether ester is:

[0009] The reaction principle for the preparation of the modified polyether ester is as follows: During the reaction process, under the action of p-toluenesulfonic acid and high temperature, polyethylene glycol and acrylic acid undergo an esterification reaction to obtain the modified polyether ester, where catechol is a polymerization inhibitor to prevent the self-polymerization of acrylic acid during the reaction.

[0010] B2. Place the modified polyether ester, fluorinated polysiloxane, and platinum dichloride in a reaction kettle, heat up to 140 - 160 °C, and keep the temperature for reaction for 4 - 6 h, and perform post-treatment to obtain the modified polysiloxane.

[0011] The reaction formula for the preparation of the modified polysiloxane is:

[0012] In the formula: ; .

[0013] The reaction principle for the preparation of the modified polysiloxane is as follows: During the reaction process, under the catalysis of platinum dichloride, the olefinic unsaturated double bond in the modified polyether ester and the silicon hydride of the fluorinated polysiloxane undergo an addition reaction to obtain the modified polysiloxane.

[0014] Further, in step A1, the dosage ratio of the modified polysiloxane to the modified silicone paste is 1 - 2 g: 20 - 30 g; in step A2, the dosage ratio of chitosan, deionized water, the mixed oil phase, and the sodium tripolyphosphate solution is 0.5 - 1 g: 1000 - 1500 mL: 35 - 40 mL: 3 - 5 mL. The acetic acid solution consists of an acetic acid aqueous solution with a concentration of 1 - 5 wt%, and the sodium tripolyphosphate solution consists of a sodium tripolyphosphate aqueous solution with a concentration of 30 - 50 wt%. The post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is completed, when the reaction solution cools down to room temperature, perform suction filtration. Wash the filter cake with deionized water 2 - 3 times, transfer it to an oven at a temperature of 60 - 70 °C, and dry it to a constant weight to obtain the modified capsules.

[0015] Further, in step B1, the dosage ratio of polyethylene glycol, acrylic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and catechol is 2 - 4 g: 1 - 3 g: 0.1 - 0.3 g: 0.01 - 0.02 g. The post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is completed, when the reaction solution cools down to room temperature, slowly add sodium bicarbonate to the reaction solution until no more bubbles emerge. Perform suction filtration, and transfer the filtrate to a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 50 - 70 °C and rotate until no liquid is collected to obtain the modified polyether ester; in step B2, the dosage ratio of the modified polyether ester, fluorinated polysiloxane, and cumene hydroperoxide is 2 - 4 g: 2 - 4 g: 0.1 - 0.3 g. The post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is completed, when the reaction solution cools down to room temperature, perform suction filtration, and transfer the filtrate to a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 60 - 70 °C and rotate until no liquid is collected to obtain the fluorinated polysiloxane.

[0016] Further, the preparation method of the fluorinated polysiloxane is as follows: Place toluene, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, and 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane in a reaction kettle protected by a nitrogen atmosphere. Heat it to 30 - 40 °C, add a catalyst, and keep the reaction at a constant temperature for 20 - 24 h. Then perform post-treatment to obtain the fluorinated polysiloxane.

[0017] The preparation reaction formula of the fluorinated polysiloxane is:

[0018] The preparation reaction principle of the fluorinated polysiloxane is: During the reaction process, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, and 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane undergo ring-opening polymerization under the action of a catalyst to obtain block polysiloxane. Using 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane as the end-capping agent, the fluorinated polysiloxane is obtained.

[0019] Further, the dosage ratio of toluene, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, 2,4,6,8 - tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, 1,1,3,3 - tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5 - trimethyl - 1,3,5 - tris(3,3,3 - trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane and the catalyst is 300 - 350 mL:5 - 7 g:30 - 35 g:1 - 2 g:2 - 4 g:0.1 - 0.2 g. The catalyst is trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The post - treatment steps include: after the reaction is completed, when the reaction solution cools to room temperature, add 0.5 - 1 g of anhydrous sodium bicarbonate and 5 - 10 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, stir for 3 - 5 min, perform suction filtration, transfer the filtrate to a rotary evaporator at 80 - 90 °C, and rotate until no liquid is collected to obtain fluorinated polysiloxane.

[0020] Further, the modified silica paste is prepared by the following method: C1. Place silica white and n - octanol in a reaction kettle, heat up to 25 - 35 °C, keep warm and stir for 25 - 35 min, then heat up to 100 - 110 °C, keep warm and react for 2 - 3 h, and perform post - treatment to obtain modified silica white. The reaction principle for the preparation of modified silica white is: During the reaction process, under high - temperature conditions, the silanol groups on the surface of silica white and n - octanol undergo a condensation reaction to form silicon ether bonds, thus obtaining modified silica white.

[0021] C2. Place the modified silica white and dimethyl silicone oil in a reaction kettle, heat up to 160 - 190 °C, keep warm and react for 0.5 - 1 h, and perform post - treatment to obtain modified silica paste.

[0022] The reaction principle for the preparation of modified silica paste is: During the reaction process, the viscosity of dimethyl silicone oil decreases at 160 - 190 °C high temperature, and a close - coated adsorption layer is formed on the surface of silica white, forming a gel - like modified silica paste similar to "oil - in - solid".

[0023] Further, in step C1, the dosage ratio of silica white and n - octanol is 1 - 2 g:25 - 35 g. The post - treatment steps include: after the reaction is completed, when the reaction cools to room temperature, perform suction filtration, wash the filter cake with deionized water 2 - 3 times, transfer it to an oven at 50 - 60 °C, and dry to constant weight to obtain modified silica white. In step C2, the dosage ratio of modified silica white and dimethyl silicone oil is 1 - 2 g:10 - 15 g. The post - treatment steps include: after the reaction is completed, let it stand for 0.5 - 1 h, remove the upper liquid, and seal to obtain modified silica paste.

[0024] The present invention also provides a preparation method for a composite defoamer for delayed coking, which includes the following steps: S1. Place the thickening liquid in a reaction kettle, heat up to 65 - 75 °C, keep warm and stir for 10 - 15 min to obtain a mixed aqueous phase; S2. Place silicone oil, modified capsules and emulsifier in a reaction kettle, heat up to 40 - 50 °C, keep warm and stir for 15 - 20 min, slowly add the mixed aqueous phase, and let it stand for 10 - 12 h to obtain a composite defoamer.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S1, the thickening liquid is composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and deionized water in a mass ratio of 1:10; in step S2, the emulsifier is composed of Tween - 60 and Span - 60 in a mass ratio of 1:1.

[0026] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention prepares fluorinated polysiloxane through telomerization, further obtains modified polysiloxane by hydrosilylation of fluorinated polysiloxane and modified polyether ester, modifies fumed silica with long - chain alkyl groups, and prepares modified silicone paste with dimethyl silicone oil. The modified polysiloxane and modified silicone paste are encapsulated with chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate to obtain modified capsules, and the silicone oil, modified capsules, emulsifier and thickening liquid are prepared into a composite defoamer by emulsion blending method. The present invention prepares fluorinated polysiloxane with fluorosilane segments through telomerization reaction. During the defoaming process, the fluorosilane segments are extremely easy to migrate to the foam interface, and its surface tension is extremely low, which can quickly destroy the stability of the foam film. At the same time, the modified polyether ester segments can improve the dispersibility and wettability of the composite defoamer in water and oil systems, enabling it to accelerate the spread to the foam film surface, significantly shortening the natural rupture time of the foam, and improving the defoaming rate of the composite defoamer. The fluorosilane segments in the modified polysiloxane contain carbon - fluorine bonds with relatively high bond energy, which can improve the high - temperature resistance of the composite defoamer, making its structure not easily pyrolyzed, oxidized or broken during the coking process, ensuring long - term defoaming activity. At the same time, the grafted polyether ester segments in the modified polysiloxane form a spatial three - dimensional obstacle structure, forming a protective layer at the interface to inhibit the formation of new bubbles. When used in combination with the modified silicone paste, it has a good synergistic and stable release effect.

[0027] 2. The present invention modifies fumed silica with n - octanol with a long chain segment, and further blends it with dimethyl silicone oil to obtain modified silicone paste. The surface of fumed silica is rich in silanol groups, which causes it to be prone to moisture absorption, agglomeration and difficult to disperse in the oil phase in the defoamer. After modification with n - octanol, the silanol on the surface of fumed silica decreases, improving the dispersibility of the modified silicone paste in the defoamer, enabling it to quickly enter the foam film layer, destroy the stable structure of the liquid film, improve the defoaming performance and foam - suppressing performance of the composite defoamer, and the fumed silica skeleton has good thermal stability, and dimethyl silicone oil has strong heat resistance, making the composite defoamer still maintain activity during the delayed coking stage.

[0028] 3. The present invention utilizes chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate to crosslink and form a shell layer, encapsulating modified polysiloxane and modified silicone paste to obtain modified capsules. The modified silicone paste itself has excellent interfacial activity and permeability. After being encapsulated by the capsules formed by the crosslinking of chitosan - sodium tripolyphosphate, it can be rapidly ruptured and instantaneously released under the contact of the foam interface, achieving highly efficient defoaming in the "burst release - membrane rupture" mode. Dimethyl silicone oil and hydrophobic fumed silica have high thermal stability, and the capsule structure of the modified capsules further delays their high - temperature inactivation, thereby enhancing the effective time of the composite defoamer under the high - temperature conditions of delayed coking. In addition, the intact capsules can continuously release slowly, and the released silicone paste and modified polysiloxane can form an interfacial barrier and cooperate with fumed silica to construct a physical foam - inhibiting layer to achieve long - term foam inhibition.

Referring to the standards HG / T 4028 - 2008 "High-temperature silicone defoamer" and GB / T 26527 - 2024 "Silicone defoamer", the high-temperature defoaming power and high-temperature foam suppression performance of the composite defoamers prepared in Examples 10 - 12 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3 were measured. The specific data are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Table 1 - Performance test data table of each sample

[0063] Data analysis: Comparative analysis of the data in Table 1 shows that the defoaming power of the composite defoamer prepared in the present invention is 29 s, the foam suppression performance is 98 mL, the high-temperature defoaming power is 37 s, and the high-temperature foam suppression performance is 115 mL. All the data are better than those of the comparative examples; Comparative analysis of the data of Comparative Example 1 and Example 12 shows that the defoaming power, foam suppression performance, high-temperature defoaming power, and high-temperature foam suppression performance of Comparative Example 1 decreased significantly. It shows that the present invention prepares fluorinated polysiloxane with fluorosilane segments through telomerization reaction. During the defoaming process, the fluorosilane segments are extremely easy to migrate to the foam interface, and its surface tension is extremely low, which can quickly destroy the stability of the foam film. At the same time, the modified polyether ester segments can improve the dispersibility and wettability of the composite defoamer in water and oil systems, enabling it to accelerate the spread to the foam film surface, significantly shortening the natural rupture time of the foam, and improving the defoaming rate of the composite defoamer. The fluorosilane segments in the modified polysiloxane contain carbon-fluorine bonds with relatively high bond energy, which can improve the high-temperature resistance of the composite defoamer, making its structure not easily pyrolyzed, oxidized, or broken during the coking process, ensuring long-term defoaming activity. At the same time, the grafted polyether ester segments in the modified polysiloxane form a three-dimensional steric hindrance structure, forming a protective layer at the interface to inhibit the formation of new bubbles. When used in combination with the modified silicone paste, it has a good synergistic and stable release effect; Comparative analysis of the data of Comparative Example 2 and Example 12 shows that the defoaming power, foam suppression performance, high-temperature defoaming power, and high-temperature foam suppression performance of Comparative Example 2 decreased significantly. It shows that the present invention modifies fumed silica with long-chain n-octanol and further compounds it with dimethyl silicone oil to obtain a modified silicone paste. The surface of fumed silica is rich in silanol groups, resulting in its easy moisture absorption, agglomeration, and difficult dispersion in the oil phase in the defoamer. After being modified with n-octanol, the silanol on the surface of fumed silica decreases, improving the dispersibility of the modified silicone paste in the defoamer, enabling it to quickly enter the foam film layer, destroy the stable structure of the liquid film, and improve the defoaming performance and foam suppression performance of the composite defoamer. Moreover, the fumed silica skeleton has good thermal stability, and dimethyl silicone oil has strong heat resistance, making the composite defoamer still maintain its activity during the delayed coking stage; By comparing and analyzing the data of Comparative Example 3 and Example 12, it can be found that the defoaming power, foam suppression performance, high-temperature defoaming power, and high-temperature foam suppression performance of Comparative Example 3 have decreased significantly. This shows that in the present invention, by using chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate to crosslink and form a shell layer, encapsulating the modified polysiloxane and modified silicone paste to obtain modified capsules, the modified silicone paste itself has excellent interfacial activity and permeability. After being wrapped by the capsules formed by the crosslinking of chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate, it can be rapidly ruptured and instantaneously released under the contact of the foam interface, achieving efficient defoaming in the form of "burst release - membrane rupture". Dimethyl silicone oil and hydrophobic silica have high thermal stability, and the capsule structure of the modified capsules further delays their high-temperature inactivation, thereby enhancing the sustained effect time of the composite defoamer under the high-temperature conditions of delayed coking. In addition, the unbroken capsules can be continuously slowly released, and the released silicone paste and modified polysiloxane can form an interfacial barrier and cooperate with silica to construct a physical foam suppression layer to achieve long-term foam suppression.
