The application is suitable for the technical field of materials, and provides a modified
polymethyl methacrylate type
pour point depressant and a preparation method thereof, which comprises the following steps: dissolving
polymethyl methacrylate in an
organic solvent, adding a long-chain
alkyl modifier, and fully reacting under stirring to obtain a modified liquid; adding an initiator to the modified liquid, and reacting at a temperature of 65-75 DEG C for 3-4 h, and then performing cooling, water
precipitation, separation and
drying treatment to obtain the product. The long-chain
alkyl structure in the application can form a loose network by acting on
crude oil hydrocarbon molecules, can reduce intermolecular forces to improve low-temperature fluidity, and can improve the oiliness to improve the physical properties of
crude oil and reduce the
freezing point. The synthesis process is mild and low in consumption, the molecular weight and distribution of the product can be accurately controlled, the use of harmful solvents is reduced, the
green chemistry principle is met, the application is not only suitable for
crude oil pour point depression, but also can be used for modification of other
petroleum products, and the
solid form is convenient for storage and transportation, has
low leakage risk, is convenient to add, and can quickly respond to the
pour point depression demand of oil fields.
