Synthesis, identification and evaluated of A Novel Demulsifier of Al-Rashidaiy crude oil (east of Baghdad)

Abstract

In this research, new demulsifiers were prepared from cheap commercial and available materials, these materials are palmatic acid, tri ethanol amine and amino acid alanine. The first demulsifier was prepared by the reaction of the palmitic acid with tri ethanol amine by the synthesis method and the reflux method, The second demulsifier was prepared by the reaction of the palmatic acid with the amino acid alanine in the same way as before, and then by reacting the product with sodium hydroxide to produce an anion demulsifier. The prepared demulsifiers were evaluated in the lab with the commercial demulsifier (RQ-35). The first demulsifier (2-(bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino)ethyl acrylate) equalized with commercial demulsifier, while the second demulsifier (Sodium 2-palmitamido propanoate) exceeded it.
