Abstract:

The polyether demulsifiers SP169, AP201 and AE1910, were modified with hydrosilicone oil to obtain modified demulsifiers SISP, SIAP and SIAE, which were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. The surface parameters such as cmc, γcmc, Γmax, Amin of the demulsifiers were measured. The results showed that the modification improved the ability of the demulsifiers to reduce the surface tension of the solvent. However, the results of dynamic oil-water interfacial tension showed that the multi-branched SIAP and SIAE had higher ability to reduce the oil-water interfacial tension. Meanwhile, the curves of dilatational elasticity (εd) and dilatational viscosity (ωηd) of demulsifiers at oil-water interface with the variation of dilatational frequency (ω) were obtained by studying the viscoelasticity of the oil-water interface for different demulsifiers. It showed that the modification of polyethers mainly caused the change of the viscous modulus at oil-water interface for the demulsifiers. The demulsification performance of demulsifiers for crude oil emulsions was studied, and the performance of SISP and SIAP which were demulsifiers modified from SP169 and AP201 had been improved maximally.

Key words: modified polyether demulsifier, surface and interface performance, interfacial viscoelasticity, demulsification
