Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal corrosion inhibition technology, specifically relating to an ionic liquid corrosion inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Under complex atmospheric conditions, storage and transportation equipment readily adsorbs hygroscopic salt particles (such as NaCl and MgCl2). Even under low humidity (<40%) conditions, micron-sized corrosive liquid films can still form through capillary adsorption and condensation. Furthermore, as instruments and equipment become increasingly integrated and miniaturized, even ng-level corrosion weight loss can lead to malfunctions such as instrument failure.
[0003] Traditional rust-preventive oil systems rely on physical barriers to block corrosive media. However, under the combined effects of multiple factors such as humidity, heat, salt deposition, and the intrusion of polluting gases, the protective efficacy of the oil film is prone to decline. Oil-soluble corrosion inhibitors, as a core component of rust-preventive oils, have a microscopic structure that is closely related to the macroscopic properties of the oil. Surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs), due to their tunable structure and high corrosion inhibition properties, have been widely used in the research of aqueous phase corrosion inhibitors in recent years. However, the amphiphilic nature of SAILs also provides potential for their application in the oil phase, which is of great significance for the development of high-performance rust-preventive oils.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand the present invention.
[0028] Traditional rust-preventive oil systems rely on physical barriers to block corrosive media. However, under the combined effects of multiple factors such as humidity, heat, salt deposition, and the intrusion of polluting gases, the protective efficacy of the oil film is prone to decline. Oil-soluble corrosion inhibitors, as a core component of rust-preventive oils, have a microscopic structure that is closely related to the macroscopic properties of the oil. Surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs), due to their tunable structure and high corrosion inhibition properties, have been widely used in the research of aqueous phase corrosion inhibitors in recent years. However, the amphiphilic nature of SAILs also provides potential for their application in the oil phase, which is of great significance for the development of high-performance rust-preventive oils.
[0029] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an ionic liquid corrosion inhibitor comprising an N,N-dialkyl secondary ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid ionic liquid, the general structural formula of which is shown in Figure I:
[0030]
[0031] I
[0032] In structural formula I, both m and n are 3-17.
[0033] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the aforementioned ionic liquid corrosion inhibitor, comprising the following steps:
[0034] S1. Mix long-chain alkyl primary amines and haloalkanes to obtain a solution of di-long-chain secondary amine hydrohalide, wherein the long-chain alkyl primary amines contain 4-18 carbon atoms and the haloalkanes are n-bromobutane.
[0035] S2. The solution of the double long-chain secondary amine hydrohalate, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, water and dichloromethane are mixed and purified to obtain an ionic liquid corrosion inhibitor.
[0036] It should be noted that the process formula in step S1 is as follows:
[0037]
[0038] It should be noted that the present invention mainly uses C8~C18 bromoalkane, C8~C18 primary amine and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as raw materials.
[0039] Furthermore, the molar ratio of long-chain alkyl primary amine, haloalkanes, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is 1:1:1.
[0040] Further, in step S1, the long-chain alkyl primary amine, the haloalkane, and the solvent are mixed to obtain a bis-long-chain secondary amine hydrohalide solution, wherein the solvent includes at least one of tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, and dimethylformamide.
[0041] It should be noted that the first step of the synthesis method, alkylation, is an SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction, so the solvent should be a strongly polar aprotic solvent.
[0042] Further, 4 mL of solvent was added for every 5 mmol of long-chain alkyl primary amine.
[0043] Furthermore, in step S1, the long-chain alkyl primary amine and the haloalkane are reacted at a temperature of 60-80°C for 4-5 hours. The haloalkane reactant should be slowly added dropwise to the long-chain alkyl primary amine through a constant-pressure dropping funnel.
[0044] Furthermore, in step S2, the amount of water used is one-quarter of the solvent volume.
[0045] Further, in step S2, the amount of dichloromethane added is: 10 mL of dichloromethane for every 5 mmol of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate.
[0046] In some embodiments, in step S2, the specific reaction steps are as follows: After the first alkylation reaction is completed, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and water are added to the reaction system in equimolar amounts as in the first reaction, with the amount of water added being one-quarter of the solvent in the first reaction; then stirring and reflux are continued for a certain period of time until the solid is completely dissolved, and heating is stopped; after the system is cooled, dichloromethane is added, with the amount added being 10 mL of dichloromethane for every 5 mmol of reactant; then the system is washed three times with 10 mL of water, and the system is dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solid is removed by centrifugation at 8000~10000 rpm for 1~2 min, and the solvent in the clear liquid obtained is evaporated by rotary evaporator at 50°C in a water bath to obtain the crude product; the crude product is dissolved successively in n-pentane and ethanol (or methanol), refrigerated (at about 4°C) and allowed to stand, the solid is precipitated, and then the solid is removed by centrifugation at 8000~10000 rpm for 1~2 min, and the solvent in the clear liquid obtained is evaporated by rotary evaporator at 50°C in a water bath to finally obtain the product ionic liquid.
[0047] It should be noted that the process formula in step S2 is as follows:
