Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of hyperbranched polymers as demulsifiers for cracking crude oil emulsions.
- Petroleum is usually a relatively stable water-in-oil emulsion. Depending on the age and deposit, this may contain up to 90% by weight of water. Crude emulsions vary in composition from reservoir to reservoir. In addition to water, the crude oil emulsion generally still contains 0.1 to 25 wt .-% salts and solids. Water, salts and solids have to be removed before the crude oil emulsion can be transported and processed as crude oil in the refinery.
- the crude oil itself is a heterogeneous mixture and contains above all natural emulsifiers such as naphthenic acids, heterocyclic nitrogen compounds and oxidized hydrocarbons, further petroleum colloids such as asphaltenes and resins, inorganic salts such as iron sulfides, iron oxides, clays and ores, sodium chloride and potassium chloride.
- the crude oil emulsion splitting is carried out for economic and technical reasons, on the one hand to avoid the uneconomic transport of water, to prevent or at least minimize corrosion problems, and to reduce the energy input for the transport pumps.
- the cleavage of the crude oil emulsion thus represents an essential step in the production of crude oil.
- the water contained in the crude oil which is mainly emulsified by natural emulsifiers such as naphthenic acids, forms a stable
- Emulsion This happens because the emulsifiers reduce the interfacial tension between water and oil phase and thus stabilize the emulsion.
- emulsion breakers demulsifiers
- surfactants that go into the oil-water interface and there the natural

- US 4,568,737 discloses dendrimeric polyamidoamines and hybrid dendrimers of polyamidoamines, polyesters and polyethers, and their use as demulsifiers for crude oil.
- the preparation of dendrimers is very expensive (see below), therefore, these products are very expensive and hardly used economically in large-scale applications.
- the object of the present invention is to provide further demulsifiers for the cleavage of crude oil emulsions. These should be simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the object is achieved by the use of non-dendrimeric, highly functional, hyperbranched polymers as demulsifiers for cracking crude oil emulsions.
- Dendrimers, arborols, starburst polymers or hyperbranched polymers are names for polymers that are characterized by a highly branched structure and high functionality. Dendrimers are molecularly uniform macromolecules with a highly symmetric structure. Dendrimers can be prepared starting from a central molecule by controlled, stepwise linking of two or more di- or polyfunctional monomers with each already bound monomer. With each linking step, the number of monomer end groups (and thus the linkages) multiplied by a factor of 2 or higher, and obtained generationally constructed, monodisperse polymers with tree-like structures, ideally spherical, whose branches each contain exactly the same number of monomer units.
- the polymer properties are advantageous, for example, one observes a surprisingly low viscosity and a high reactivity due to the high number of functional groups on the spherical surface.
- the preparation of the monodisperse dendrimers is complicated by the need to introduce and remove protecting groups at each linkage step and to require intensive purification operations prior to the commencement of each new growth stage, which is why dendrimers are typically only produced on a laboratory scale.
- each free functional group of the intermediate Thereafter, in each case a multi-functional monomer is attached to each free functional group of the intermediate, then the separation of the excess monomers and a purification carried out, and continue to process until the desired molecular weight is reached or for steric reasons, an addition of other monomers is no longer possible.
- the individual intermediates are also referred to as generations, wherein the resulting by addition of monomers to the starting molecule intermediate is referred to as the first generation, the next intermediate second generation, and so on. Due to the different reactivity of the functional groups of the monomers used, it is ensured that in each case the most reactive functional groups react with the end groups of the dendrimer chains and the less reactive functional groups of the monomers form the functional end groups of the next generation of dendrimeric polyurethanes.
- the preparation of the dendrimeric polyurethanes can be carried out by reacting 1 mol of a diisocyanate with two moles of an aminodiol to the first generation of the dendrimeric polyurethane.
- the temperature during the reaction should be as low as possible, preferably in the range between -10 to 30 ° C, lie. In this temperature range, a virtually complete suppression of the urethane formation reaction, and the NCO groups of the isocyanate reacts exclusively with the amino group of the aminodiol.
- the free hydroxyl groups of the added aminodiol react at elevated temperature, preferably in the range between 30 and 80 ° C, selectively with the more reactive NCO group of the added isocyanate.
- the resulting second-generation dendrimeric polyurethane has as functional end groups the reaction-bearing NCO groups of the added isocyanate. These, in turn, are reacted with the amino diol at low temperature, as in the preparation of the first generation dendrimeric polyurethane, and so on.
- the reaction can be carried out neat or in solvents without or in the presence of a urethane-forming catalyst. If necessary, a separation of excess monomers and / or a purification step can take place between the reaction stages.
- dendritic polyurethanes can be produced which double their functionality in each generation.
- hyperbranched polymers are both molecularly and structurally nonuniform. They are obtained by a non-generational construction. It is therefore not necessary to isolate and purify intermediates.
- Hyperbranched polymers can be obtained by simply mixing the components required for construction and their reaction in a so-called one-pot reaction. Hyperbranched polymers can have dendrimeric substructures. In addition, they also have linear polymer chains and unequal polymer branches.
- AB X monomers are suitable for the synthesis of the hyperbranched polymers. These have two different functional groups A and B in one molecule, which can react intermolecularly to form a linkage. The functional group A is contained only once per molecule and the functional group B twice or more times. The reaction of said AB ⁇ monomers together gives rise to uncrosslinked polymers with regularly arranged branching sites. The polymers have almost exclusively B groups at the chain ends.
- hyperbranched polymers can be prepared via the A x + B y synthesis route.
- a x and B y represent two different monomers with the functional groups A and B and the indices x and y the number of functional groups per monomer.
- a x + B 3 By synthesis, which is illustrated here using the example of an A 2 + B 3 synthesis, a difunctional monomer A 2 is reacted with a trifunctional monomer B 3 . This initially produces a 1: 1 adduct of A and B with an average of one functional group A and two functional groups B, which can then also react to form a hyperbranched polymer.
- the hyperbranched polymers thus obtained also have predominantly B groups as end groups.
- hypobranched in the context of the polymers in the context of the invention means that the degree of branching DB of the substances in question, which is defined as
- T is the average number of terminally bound monomer units
- Z is the average number of branching monomer units
- L is the average number of linearly bound monomer units in the macromolecules of the respective substances, 10 to 95%, preferably 25-90% and particularly preferably 30 to 80%.
- hyperbranched polymers are understood as meaning essentially unvarnished macromolecules which are structurally as well as molecularly nonuniform. However, starting from a central molecule, analogously to dendrimers, they can be constructed with nonuniform chain length of the branches. However, they can also be constructed linearly with functional lateral branches or, as a combination of the two extremes, have linear and branched molecular parts.
