Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of corrosion and scale inhibitors, specifically to an oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] To increase oil production, most oilfields maintain reservoir pressure through water reinjection to facilitate extraction. However, most oilfields are located in remote areas with scarce freshwater resources, and the oil extraction process also generates large amounts of wastewater that are difficult to treat. Therefore, in actual oilfield production, to save costs and simplify the production process, formation water, surrounding seawater, and wastewater from oil extraction are often directly injected into the formation as injection water. Although this technology is widely used due to its convenience, with the continuous development of oilfields, the problems of corrosion and scaling on oil and gas pipelines have become increasingly prominent.
[0003] Corrosion inhibitors are chemical substances that slow down the corrosion rate of metals. Even trace amounts of corrosion inhibitors in the environment can significantly reduce the corrosion rate while maintaining the original physical and mechanical properties of the metal. Scale inhibitors are chemical agents added to oil and gas pipeline systems to inhibit the formation of scale-causing ions or increase the solubility of these ions, thus making deposits less likely to occur in the oil and gas pipeline system.
[0004] Polyaspartic acid (PAA) is a polymeric amino acid with carboxylic acid side chains. Because the peptide bonds in its main chain are easily broken by fungi and microorganisms, its final degradation products are CO2 and H2O, which are harmless to the environment. PAA's main characteristics are that it is pollution-free, non-toxic, phosphorus-free, and biodegradable, making it a recognized "green chemical." As a water treatment agent, it has the ability to inhibit scaling and corrosion caused by CaSO4 and CaCO3. In recent years, the synthesis and application of PAA have attracted close attention from chemical and pharmaceutical companies worldwide and have become a new research hotspot. However, PAA's ability to inhibit Ca3(PO4)2 is not outstanding, limiting its application in actual industrial production. Chitosan is a multifunctional polymer. When used in water treatment, chitosan can act as an adsorbent and scale inhibitor. However, due to its inherent limitations, chitosan is not yet suitable for large-scale industrial use. Therefore, this invention modifies PAA and chitosan to produce an oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor with good corrosion and scale inhibition properties. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor is prepared by reacting modified polyaspartic acid, hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan, and 2,5-thiophene dicarboxaldehyde.
[0007] As an optimization, the modified polyaspartic acid is prepared by reacting polysuccinimide with 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid.
[0008] As an optimization, the polysuccinimide has a weight-average molecular weight of 7000-8000 and was purchased from Shanghai Maclean Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.
[0009] A method for preparing an oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor includes the following preparation steps: (1) Mix polysuccinimide and deionized water evenly, add a mixed solution of 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid within 30 min, stir and react at room temperature for 20-24 h, adjust the pH to 7-8 with hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, add anhydrous ethanol, filter, dry, and obtain modified polyaspartic acid. (2) Mix modified polyaspartic acid, hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan, 2,5-thiophene dicarboxylate and deionized water evenly, adjust the pH to 6-7 with hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, stir and react at 35-45℃ for 3-4 hours, filter, wash and dry to obtain oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor.
[0010] As an optimization, the preparation steps of the 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid mixed solution in step (1) are as follows: 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid, p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and 10wt% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution are mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 1:(0.4~0.5):(5~6) to obtain the 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid mixed solution.
[0011] As an optimization, the preparation steps of the modified polyaspartic acid in step (1) are as follows: polysuccinimide and deionized water are mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 1:(4~5), and a mixed solution of 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid with a mass of 7~8 times that of polysuccinimide is added within 30 min. The mixture is stirred and reacted at room temperature for 20~24 h. The pH is adjusted to 7~8 with hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, and anhydrous ethanol with a mass of 5~6 times that of polysuccinimide is added. The mixture is filtered, and the resulting precipitate is vacuum dried at 50~60℃ for 20~24 h to obtain modified polyaspartic acid.
[0012] As an optimization, the preparation steps of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor in step (2) are as follows: Modified polyaspartic acid, hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan, 2,5-thiophene dicarboxylate, and deionized water are mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 1:(0.6~0.7):(0.4~0.5):(15~20), the pH is adjusted to 6~7 with hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, the mixture is stirred and reacted at 35~45℃ for 3~4h, filtered and washed 2~4 times with 2wt% acetic acid aqueous solution, and vacuum dried at 40~50℃ for 10~12h to obtain the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor.
[0013] As an optimization, the preparation method of the hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan is carried out with reference to the synthesis of O-quaternary ammonium salt chitosan in "Synthesis of O-quaternary ammonium salt oxidized chitosan and its antibacterial finishing of cotton fabrics".
[0014] As an optimization, the structure of the hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan is as follows: .
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: In preparing the corrosion and scale inhibitor for oilfields, this invention involves reacting polysuccinimide with 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid to obtain modified polyaspartic acid; and reacting the modified polyaspartic acid, hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, chitosan, and 2,5-thiophene dicarboxaldehyde to obtain the corrosion and scale inhibitor for oilfields.
[0016] First, polysuccinimide undergoes a ring-opening reaction with the amino groups on 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid to generate modified polyaspartic acid containing sulfonic acid groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, and amino groups. The polyaspartic acid structure contains peptide bonds similar to proteins, which can be oxidized and decomposed into CO2 and H2O under the action of microorganisms, making it an environmentally friendly water treatment agent with good application prospects. Polyaspartic acid also contains a large number of carboxylic acid groups, which can... 2+ Mg 2+ The modification alters the crystallization rate and crystal structure of ions that easily form scale in water, resulting in better scale inhibition performance. Sulfonic acid groups exhibit strong scale inhibition properties against CaCO3 and significantly suppress the formation of Ca3(PO4)2 scale. Since sulfonic acid is a stronger acid than carboxylic acid, incorporating sulfonic acid into polyaspartic acid, the resulting compound, through the synergistic effect of its functional groups, can effectively reduce the formation of calcium gel, is less susceptible to the influence of metal ions in water, and has a good inhibitory effect on calcium scale such as Ca3(PO4)2 and CaCO3. Furthermore, the carboxylic acid, phenolic hydroxyl, and sulfonic acid groups on the modified polyaspartic acid can react with Fe on the corroded metal surface. 2+ or Fe 3+ The combination of these components can form a protective film on the surface of the metal, thereby effectively hindering the development of corrosion and giving it good corrosion inhibition properties.
[0017] Secondly, modified polyaspartic acid and hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan undergo a Schiff base reaction under the action of 2,5-thiophene dicarboxaldehyde to form a cross-linked network structure. Introducing quaternary ammonium salt chitosan into polyaspartic acid, the chitosan containing a large number of -OH groups enhances the polymer's stability against divalent cations, improving its resistance to hydrolysis and gelation. Therefore, the resulting oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor forms a complex with calcium ions in water. This allows the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor to adsorb Ca3(PO4)2 and CaCO3 microcrystals, covering the crystal growth points and hindering crystal growth. Crystal dislocation occurs, reducing the interaction between crystals and decreasing calcium scale formation, thus improving the scale inhibition performance of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor. Furthermore, the quaternary ammonium cations in the structure readily attract the negative charges on the metal surface, thereby increasing the H... + The discharge reaction is suppressed, hindering the cathodic reaction of the corrosion process, thus giving the prepared oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor good corrosion inhibition performance; at the same time, the introduction of imine bonds increases the adsorption activity of the corrosion inhibitor, thereby further improving the corrosion inhibition performance; the sulfur atom in the thiophene ring of 2,5-thiophene dicarboxaldehyde contains lone pairs of electrons, which can form coordinate bonds with iron ions on the metal surface, forming a protective film on the metal surface, thereby improving the corrosion inhibition performance of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor.

[0047] Comparison of data from Example 2 with Comparative Examples 1-4 shows that the Ca3(PO4)2 inhibition performance of polyaspartic acid is not outstanding. With the increase of p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid content, the calcium phosphate scale inhibition rate of the prepared oilfield corrosion inhibitor increases accordingly. When the mass ratio of 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid to p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid is 1:0.45, even if the p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid content is further increased, the calcium phosphate scale inhibition rate does not increase significantly. On the contrary, due to the decrease of 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid, the phenolic hydroxyl content decreases, resulting in a decrease in the corrosion inhibition rate. Therefore, a mass ratio of 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid to p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid of 1:0.45 is the optimal condition for preparing the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor.
[0048] By comparing the data from Example 2 with those from Comparative Examples 5-8, it was shown that too low an experimental temperature would result in a low product conversion rate, while too high a temperature would cause hydrolysis and chain scission of polyaspartic acid or chitosan. Therefore, the optimal reaction temperature for synthesizing the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor is 40°C.
[0049] By comparing the data from Example 2 with those from Comparative Examples 9-12, it was shown that the corrosion inhibition rate and scale inhibition rate of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor gradually increased with the increase of reaction time. When the experimental reaction time was more than 3.5 hours, the scale inhibition performance and corrosion inhibition performance of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor did not increase significantly. Therefore, in order to avoid wasting time and energy, the optimal reaction time for synthesizing the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor is 3 hours.
[0050] The comparison between Example 2 and Comparative Example 13 demonstrates that polysuccinimide undergoes a ring-opening reaction with the amino groups on 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid to generate modified polyaspartic acid containing sulfonic acid groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, and amino groups. The sulfonic acid groups exhibit strong scale inhibition properties against CaCO3 and significantly suppress the formation of Ca3(PO4)2 scale. Since sulfonic acid is a stronger acid than carboxylic acid, introducing sulfonic acid into polyaspartic acid results in a compound that, through the synergistic effect of its functional groups, effectively reduces the formation of calcium gel, is less susceptible to the influence of metal ions in water, and exhibits good inhibition of calcium scale such as Ca3(PO4)2 and CaCO3. Furthermore, the sulfonic acid groups can react with Fe on the corroded metal surface. 2+ or Fe 3+ The combination of these components can form a protective film on the surface of the metal, thereby effectively hindering the development of corrosion and giving it good corrosion inhibition properties.
[0051] The comparison between Example 2 and Comparative Example 14 demonstrates that polysuccinimide undergoes a ring-opening reaction with the amino groups on 3,5-diaminosalicylic acid and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid to generate modified polyaspartic acid containing sulfonic acid groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, and amino groups. The phenolic group on the modified polyaspartic acid can react with Fe on the corroded metal surface. 2+ or Fe 3+ The combination of these components can form a protective film on the surface of the metal, thereby effectively hindering the development of corrosion and giving it good corrosion inhibition properties.
[0052] The comparison between Example 2 and Comparative Example 15 demonstrates that the quaternary ammonium cations in the structure readily attract the negative charges on the metal surface, thereby enabling H... + The discharge reaction is suppressed, which hinders the cathodic reaction of the corrosion process, thus giving the prepared oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor good corrosion inhibition performance.
[0053] The comparison between Example 2 and Comparative Example 16 demonstrates that the sulfur atom in the thiophene ring of 2,5-thiophenedicarboxaldehyde contains a lone pair of electrons, which can form a coordinate bond with iron ions on the metal surface, forming a protective film on the metal surface, thereby improving the corrosion inhibition performance of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor.
[0054] The comparison between Example 2 and Comparative Example 17 demonstrates that modified polyaspartic acid and hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan undergo a Schiff base reaction under the action of 2,5-thiophene dicarboxaldehyde to form a cross-linked network structure. The introduction of quaternary ammonium salt chitosan into polyaspartic acid, with its abundant -OH groups, enhances the polymer's stability against divalent cations, improving its resistance to hydrolysis and gelation. Therefore, the resulting oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor forms a complex with calcium ions in water. This allows the inhibitor to adsorb Ca3(PO4)2 and CaCO3 microcrystals, covering the crystal growth points and hindering crystal growth. This leads to crystal dislocation, reduced inter-crystal interactions, and decreased calcium scale formation, thus improving the scale inhibition performance of the oilfield corrosion and scale inhibitor. The introduction of imine bonds further increases the adsorption activity of the corrosion inhibitor, thereby enhancing its corrosion inhibition performance.
