新型孪尾Gemini两性离子表面活性剂应用性能

分别采用改进的Ross-Miles法及分水时间法,对3种新型孪尾Gemini两性离子表面活性剂(C8C8L3Sz、C8C8L4Sz和C10C8L3Sz)的泡沫性能及乳化性能进行了研究,并考察了表面活性剂浓度、分子结构和温度等对其的影响。 结果表明,该系列表面活性剂具有较好的泡沫性能,且随其浓度的增加,泡沫最大高度和半衰期均存在一个稳定值,疏水链越长,其起泡性能越差,泡沫稳定性越好;温度升高,起泡性能变好,泡沫稳定性变差;当表面活性剂浓度一定时,体系中加入低浓度的短链醇及无机盐均能提高泡沫的稳定性;C8C8L3Sz、C8C8L4Sz和C10C8L3Sz作乳化剂的最适宜的用量分别为6×10-4、6×10-4和4×10-4 mol/L,疏水基越长,乳化性能越好,而连接基对其影响较小;温度升高,乳化性能变差;当油相烷烃碳数相同时,环烷烃要比直连烷烃更易达到最佳乳化效果,但二者的乳状液稳定时间相当;对于油相烷烃碳数不同时,烷烃的碳链越长,乳状液的稳定性越差,乳化效果越不好。

CO2-triggered switchable Pickering emulsion stabilized by guanidine-functionalized silica particles

The guanidine group-modified silica particles were used as emulsifier to obtain a CO₂-responsive Pickering emulsion. To compare the wettability effect of the particles on the stability of the emulsion, both guanidine and alkyl chain were attached on the surface of silica particles. The influences of tension, particles concentration, oil-water fraction, NaCl concentration, and CO₂ on Pickering emulsion properties were investigated. Although the particles did not decrease the surface and interfacial tensions of the air/oil-water interfaces, they attached on the oil–water interfaces and stabilized the emulsions at room temperature for at least 4 weeks. Addition of salt increased the emulsion stability and induced phase inversion at high salt concentration. The stabilization–destabilization cycles of the emulsion could be successively controlled by alternative CO₂/heating triggers due to the protonation-deprotonation of guanidine groups on the particle surfaces.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Polymeric Phosphate Surfactants for Oil-Based Muds

(Mono, di) alkyl, aryl phosphate-ethoxylate were prepared from coal-tar-phenol. The synthesized ethoxylates were evaluated as water-in-oil emulsifiers in oil-base mud, one type of the drilling fluids used to drill for oil and gas wells by the rotary method. This study presents a new trend of disposal and reuse of cao-tar phenol, a byproduct that causes environmental problems. The newly prepared compounds were confirmed by FTIR and molecular weight determination. Surface properties of the newly prepared ethoxylates were studied via surface tension, emulsion stability, cloud points, critical micelle concentration, and hydrophile-lipophile balance. Also, rheological properties, filtration, and electrical stability were studied to the oil-base mud formulated with the newly prepared emulsifiers compared to the reference sample (commercial emulsifier).     

Thickening properties and emulsification mechanisms of new derivatives of polysaccharides in aqueous solution

The thickening properties of aqueous solutions of HHM-HEC (hydrophobically-hydrophilically modified hydroxyethylcellulose) and the emulsification mechanisms of HHM-HEC/water/oil systems were investigated. A dramatic increase in viscosity was observed with increased HHM-HEC concentration in water, caused by aggregation of hydrophobic alkyl chains. At higher concentrations of HHM-HEC (above 0.6 wt%) in water, it forms an elastic gel, which has good thixotropic properties and a high yield value. O/W (oil-in-water) type emulsions were obtained using HHM-HEC, which can emulsify various kinds of oil, including hydrocarbon, silicone, and perfluoropolymethylisopropyl ether. The viscosity of these emulsions depends only upon the oil volume fraction, not on the kind of oil. In addition, the oil particle size in the emulsions remained constant after a certain period because HHM-HEC formed a strong gel network structure and a protective layer, which prevented the emulsion from coalescing. Measurements of interfacial tension revealed that the alkyl chains in HHM-HEC did not significantly lower the interfacial tension at the water/oil interface when 0.5 wt% of HHM-HEC was added to water. Steady flow and oscillatory experimental results show that the rheological behavior of HHM-HEC/water/oil emulsions was similar to that of aqueous solutions of HHM-HEC. In the HHM-HEC/water/oil emulsion system, oil droplets were dispersed and kept stable in the strong gel structure of HHM-HEC. The aqueous solution of HHM-HEC showed salt resistance. It is thought to be due to sulfonic acid groups in HHM-HEC. The stability of the emulsion using HHM-HEC is based on both protective colloidal effects and associative thickening caused by alkyl chains in HHM-HEC.     

Investigation of the Demulsification Efficiency of Some Ethoxylated Polyalkylphenol Formaldehydes Based on Locally Obtained Materials to Resolve Water-in-Oil Emulsions

Fourteen ethoxylated polyalkylphenol formaldehyde surfactants were prepared from locally sourced raw materials. These surfactants were used as demulsifiers to resolve asphltenic crude oil emulsions. Different factors affecting demulsification efficiency such as water:oil ratios, surfactant concentration, surfactant molecular weight, ethylene oxide content, alkyl chain length, and asphaltene content were investigated. From the data obtained it was found that the demulsification efficiency increases by increasing the concentration, alkyl chain length and water content in the emulsion. Also it was found that the increase of asphaltene content in the crude oil impeded the demulsification efficiency. The effect of molecular weight was studied and it was found that the demulsification efficiency was controlled by an optimum range of molecular weight between 3640 to 3810 for the family of demulsifiers studied. Regarding the effect of ethylene oxide content in the demulsifier structure, it was found that the maximum demulsification efficiency was obtaind at 40 units ethylene oxide. The maximum demulsification efficiency was obtained by TND5 (m.wt. = 3800, eo = 40 units). With this demulsifier 100% water separation was exhibited after 35 minutes at 150 ppm demulsifier concentration and 50% w/o emulsion. The surface, interfacial tension, and hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) of the invistigated demulsifers were studied. The obtained results justified that they are strongly related to the demulsification effeciency.

Studies of synergism for lowering dynamic interfacial tension in sodium alpha-(n-alkyl) naphthalene sulfonate/alkali/acidic oil systems

Alkylnaphthalene sulfonates with high purity were selected as model components to research synergism for lowering interfacial tension (IFT) in surfactant/alkali/acidic oil systems. The dynamic IFTs between alkylnaphthalene sulfonates with different alkyl chain length and n-decane, oleic acid model oil, or Shengli crude oil were measured. The results showed that the alkylnaphthalene sulfonates with different alkyl chain lengths had different synergism with different acidic components and their ionized acids under the same conditions. The synergism for lowering dynamic IFT in alkylnaphthalene sulfonate/alkali/acidic oil systems was controlled by alkylnaphthalene sulfonate concentration, alkyl chain length, alkali concentration, alkali type, and oleic acid concentration: optimal physicochemical conditions were necessary to the best synergism. This indicates that the synergism among added surfactant acidic components in crude oil and their ionized acids is controlled by the ratio of their interfacial concentrations.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Self-Assembling Some Thiol Surfactants on Gold Nanoparticles

The purpose of this work is to study the self-assembling of some synthesized thiol surfactants namely (mercaptopropane-, mercaptohexane-, mercaptooctane-, and mercaptodecane sodium sulfonate) on the fabricated gold nanoparticles. The self-assembling of these surfactants on gold nanoparticles characterized using different techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Spectroscopic evidence suggests that the synthesized thiol surfactants have been attached to the gold nanoparticles. The effect of self-assembling of these surfactants on the size of the gold nanoparticles was studied using TEM images. The growth of the gold nanoparticles was investigated with respect to the increase of alkyl chain in the synthesized thiol surfactants. The results show that the stabilization of gold nanoparticles was affected by the increase in alkyl chain length of these surfactants. The effect of gold nanoparticles on the interfacial tension and the emulsion stability of these surfactants with crude oil was studied.
