The invention relates to a
demulsifier for
petroleum exploitation and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of demulsifiers for
petroleum. The preparation method of the
demulsifier for
petroleum exploitation comprises the following steps: slowly adding
silicon dioxide into mixed acid, stirring at a controlled temperature, removing impurities, and
drying to obtain a pretreated product; stirring and mixing a
silane coupling agent and
ethyl acetate, adding sorbic
aldehyde for constant-temperature reaction, cooling to
room temperature, centrifuging, putting into absolute ethyl
alcohol, adding the pretreated product for
ultrasonic dispersion, heating and stirring, removing impurities,
drying in vacuum, putting into deionized water for mixing, stirring at a high speed, adding
acrylamide and
benzyl methacrylate for stirring and mixing uniformly, adding an initiator for heating and stirring, and cooling to
room temperature; and continuously heating and stirring, cooling, adjusting the pH value, and granulating in a granulator, thereby obtaining the product. The demulsifying agent provided by the invention has excellent performance in the aspect of treating oilfield produced liquid. The
water treatment agent can quickly play a role, and the
treatment effect is further improved along with the increase of the dosage, so that the water phase is clearer.
