The invention belongs to the technical field of thick oil emulsification
viscosity reduction, and particularly discloses an amphiphilic Janus
carbon nanotube thick oil emulsification
viscosity reducer and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding a multi-walled
carbon nanotube into a strong acid solution; secondly, adding a first
solvent, and then adding molten paraffin to obtain paraffin microspheres wrapped by
activated carbon nanotubes; thirdly, adding into a second
solvent, so as to obtain
carbon nanotube paraffin microspheres asymmetrically modified by vinyl
trimethylsilane; and finally, adding into a third
solvent to react with the first modifier, and then adding into a fourth solvent to react with the second modifier to obtain the
viscosity-reduced Janus carbon
nanotube. According to the amphiphilic Janus carbon
nanotube thick oil emulsifying viscosity
reducer as well as the preparation method and the application thereof, the viscosity
reduction rate reaches 99.47%, the amphiphilic Janus carbon
nanotube thick oil emulsifying viscosity
reducer has excellent
wetting reversal and interfacial
tension reduction capability, the
recovery efficiency is improved by more than 25%, and the
recovery efficiency improvement effect is remarkable.
