Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield treatment agents, in particular to an oilfield sewage treatment degreasing agent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Since many solids in sewage are difficult to dissolve in water, when one or more of these solids exist in large quantities in oil and water, under the agitation of hydraulic or external power, these solids and crude oil can exist in the water in an emulsified state, forming an emulsion, which makes the emulsification state very serious and even difficult to separate the two phases.
[0003] A deoiler is a water-miscible wastewater treatment product that can break oil-in-water emulsions, shortening oil-water separation time. Deoilers are often called reverse demulsifiers. Cationic reverse demulsifiers are particularly important for O / W emulsions. Their demulsification mechanism is achieved by combining the positive charge in the reverse demulsifier with the negative charge in the oil droplets, thereby achieving the desired oil removal effect.
[0004] Currently, a large amount of research has been conducted abroad on reverse demulsifiers, and a series of reverse demulsifiers have been developed. They are used to break the emulsions of O / W emulsions and remove oil from oily wastewater. Most of these reverse demulsifiers use cationic polymers for demulsification and oil removal, but existing conventional deoilers often have unsatisfactory oil removal effects. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The following is a further optimization and / or improvement of one of the above-mentioned technical solutions: The catalyst consists of ammonium persulfate and sodium sulfite in a molar concentration ratio of 1:1.
[0008] The above-mentioned oilfield wastewater treatment degreasing agent is obtained by the following method: In the first step, under a nitrogen atmosphere, required amounts of 1-ethyl-4-vinylbenzene, methacrylate, long-chain alkyl dimethyl allyl ammonium chloride, urea, anhydrous ethanol and water are stirred and mixed to obtain a mixed solution; In the second step, a required amount of acrylamide and a catalyst are added to the mixed solution for reaction to obtain a reaction product, and the reaction product is diluted with water to obtain an oilfield wastewater treatment degreasing agent.
[0009] The amount of anhydrous ethanol added is 10% to 20% of the total weight of the raw materials.
[0010] The amount of water added is 60% to 70% of the total weight of the raw materials.
[0011] In the first step, the stirring time is 30 to 40 minutes, the stirring temperature is 30° C. to 40° C., and the stirring speed is 600 to 700 rpm.
[0012] In the second step, the reaction temperature is 45° C. to 80° C., and the reaction time is 30 minutes to 40 minutes.
[0013] The mass concentration of the above oilfield wastewater treatment degreaser is 10% to 20%.
[0014] The second technical solution of the present invention is achieved by the following measures: a method for preparing an oil field wastewater treatment degreasing agent is carried out as follows: In the first step, under a nitrogen atmosphere, required amounts of 1-ethyl-4-vinylbenzene, methacrylate, long-chain alkyl dimethyl allyl ammonium chloride, urea, anhydrous ethanol and water are stirred and mixed to obtain a mixed solution; In the second step, a required amount of acrylamide and a catalyst are added to the mixed solution for reaction to obtain a reaction product, and the reaction product is diluted with water to obtain an oilfield wastewater treatment degreasing agent.
[0015] The oilfield wastewater treatment deoiler produced by the present invention utilizes readily available raw materials and a simple process. The deoiler has a strong deoiling capability and a high oil removal rate, making it suitable for oil-water separation in oilfield wastewater while requiring minimal usage. The deoiler is effective over a wide pH range, contains no metal ions, and avoids secondary contamination.

At the same time, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and existing deoiling agent models including SP169, CW-01 and BY01B are used as controls, and the method specified in Q / SY XJ0354-2022 "Technical Specifications for Deoiling Agents for Water Injection Treatment" is referred to.

The oil content of the sewage after adding the agent is reduced to between 15 mg / L and 18 mg / L, and the oil removal rate reaches 97.7%; the deoiling agent prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is used to remove oil from the sewage in the sewage pool.
