Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure The invention relates to corrosion inhibitors which are amides of cyclic amidines. The inhibitors are particularly useful for preventing the corrosion of metals caused by H2S and CO2 in water-in-oil, particularly in saltwater-in-oil emulsions.

Description

~7~3~i'7~3 CYCLIC AMIDINE BASED CORROSION INHIBITORS
WHICH INHIBIT CORROSION CAUSED BY C2 A~lD H2S

Background of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to corrosion inhibitors which are amides of cyclic amidines. The inhibitors are particularly useful for preventing the corrosion of metals caused by H2S and CO2 ("acid gas") in water-in-oil, particularly in saltwater-in-oil emulsions.
2. Description of the Prior Art It is known to inject a solution or dispersion of corrosion inhibitors in the crude oil during oil recovery, and in the transport or storage of the crude oil so that a protective layer forms on the surface of the metal parts coming in contact with the oil. The crude oil emulsions usually contain saltwater and in many cases, depending upon the origin of the oil, contain H2S and CO2 which have a pro-nounced corrosive effect. The corrosion inhibitors to be used for this purpose should be soluble in oil and should at least be dispersible in saltwater so that they can have an optimum effect.
Such systems are known from German published application 2,846,977. These are imidazolinium salts which are used dissolved in an oil soluble organic solvent in the presence of a hydrocarbon oil. The problems with such 4~

~17~5~3 systems are the relatively complicated metering form l3 components) and the fact that the corrosion protection is not satisfactory in all cases. We have noted, for instance, that the imidazoline having the formula ~ N - CH2 (as chloride) described in the referenced publication does not develop sufficient effectiveness against the corrosive erosion caused by the effects of H2S when used alone.
Summary of the Invention The subject invention relates to compounds having the following structural formula:
~ N-(CH2)n HC

N -CH O
2 ll CH2--~CH2 ~ NH-C-R

in which R denotes C7- to C25-, preferably C8- to C17-alkyl or alkenyl radical and n represents the numbers 1 or 2 .
The present invention also provides a composition comprising a mixture of the above compounds and from 0.5 to 100 percent by weight of elementary sulfur relative to the above compounds.
In accordance with the present invention, n may be 1 and R may be selected from the group consisting of C8H17 ; C17H33, CllH23 and C7H15.

~ - 2 -The subject ccmpounds and compositions are p~ticularly useful as corrosion inhibitors in pre~entin~ the corrosion of metal caused by H2S and C02 in water-in-oil emulsions such as crude oil.
The compounds and cc~positions can be uni~o ~ y distributed in oil-in-water emulsions without the aid of additional solvents.
~escription of the Preferred Embodiments -The subject compounds are amides of cyclic amidines which are based upon an imidazoline- or 3,5-tetrahydro-pyrimidine system. The compounds can be obtained in a simple manner by traditional reactions.
Initially a carboxylic acid R-COOH, with R
representing a C7- to C25-, preferahly C8- to C17- alkyl or alkenyl radical is reacted with diethylene triamine or di-n-propylene triamine at 120C to 1~0C within 5 to 10 hours in a mole ratio of 1:1 to 1:1O2 and the resultant acid amide is reacted with formamide at 120C to 150C within 0.5 to 2 hours. Following this process the product is condensed at 200C to 300C preferably under vacuum (1.5 mbars to 80 mbars) within a period of 5 to 10 hours. The resultant imidazoline and/or tetrahydro-pyrimidine derivatives may be isolated in their pure form.
All of the above defined carboxylic acids are suitable as starting carhoxylic acids. Preferably chosen are, for instance, n-octanic acid, iso-octanic acid (2-ethylhexanoic acid), iso-nonanoic acid (3,5,5-trimethylhexanic acid), lauric acid, stearic acid, oleicacid, behenic acid and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of natural fatty acids such as tallow fatty acid, coconut fatty acid, colza oil fatty acid and palm kernel fatty acid are also suitable.
The compounds alone have a very satisfac~ory effect as inhibitors against H2S and CO2 corrosion. Testing indicates that corrosion is less than a fourth of the value obtained when the compounds are not used.
The inhibition effect can be increased, however, if 0.5 to 100 percent by weight preferably 1 to 30 percent by weight of colloidal sulfur is present relative to amides of the cyclic amidine. The sulfur can be incorporated in this system by a mere admixing of "colloidal" sulfur but is preferahly incorporated by heating the mixture to 100C to 200C within a period of 1 to 3 hours. Inhibitors obtained in this manner are capable of reducing the corrosion to less than one-fifth of the value obtained when the inhibitors are not used.
The subject corrosion inhibitors are added to the water-in-oil emulsions in quantities of 50 ppm to 1000 ppm relative to the weight of the emulsion. They disperse without difficulties in the aqueous as well as in the oil phase.

The following examples will illustrate in detail the invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of its application.
Examples Examples 1 and 2 illustrate how the corrosion inhibitors of the subject invention are prepared.
Example 1 In a reaction vessel, 423.7 grams of oleic acid are heated to a temperature of 70C to 80C and at this temperature are added dropwise into 170.3 grams of diethylenetriamine. E'ollowing this, reaction water is removed by distillation at 150C to 160C for 7 to 8 hours. Then 67.6 grams of formamide are added dropwise into the resultant acid amide at 120C to 150C within a period of 1 hour. Subsequently the mixture is condensed at 200C
to 250C under a vacuum of approximately 20 Torr for 8 hours. The compound had a structure of /~N- CE32 HC
N--CH2 o ( ?

wherein R = C17 H33 . The yield was 565 grams of a brown viscous oil.

Examp_e 2_ In a reaction vessel, 316.~ grams of isononamic acid (3,5,5-trimethylhexanic acid) are heated to a tempera-ture of 70C to 80C and are added dropwise into 288.7 grams of ~ipropylenetriamine at this temperature. Following this process, reaction water is removed by distillation at 150C
to 160C for 7 to 8 hours. Then 90 grams of formamide are added dropwise into the resultant acid amide at 120C to 150C within a period of 30 minutes. Followiny this, the product is condensed at 200C to 250C and under vacuum of approximately 20 Torrs separating ammonium. The compound had a structure of IIC ~ ` CH2 wherein R = C8H17 . The yield was 560 grams of brown viscous oil.
The corrosion inhihitors and several variations thereof were tested according to the so-called dynamic or "wheel" test. This is a method commonly employed in the crude oil recovery to test inhibitors.
The test samples are iron sheet metal having the dimensions of 130 mm x 10 mm x 1 mm. These are sanded, '^7~' i' f~

degreased with toluene, and are weighed. Test gasoline was used as the test medium which contained 50 percent by weight of saltwater wit}l 3 percent ~aCi in emulsified form. In order to simulate field conditions, the test medium was saturated with H2S and CO2 and was poured into test bot-tles. Following this the inhibitors to be tested were added in ~uantities of 250 ppm. The test samples of sheet metals were fastened to the bottle covers and were immersed in the test medium.
The test bottles were then fastened to a rotating axis (wheel) which turned in a water bath maintained at 80C
at a speed of 40 rpm. The test duration was 16 hours.
Thereafter, the test strips were cleaned with an inhibiting acid~ were degreased, dried and were weighed in order to determine the weight losses. The results were evaluated and compared with a blank value (test without added inhibitor).
The specific corrosion inhibitors used and the results are shown in the following table.
