preparation example Construction

[0087] Accordingly, another form of the invention is a process for the preparation of an aqueous emulsion as described and claimed in this disclosure, the process comprising the steps of:

[0088] i. High boiling organic solvents or mixtures thereof, primary emulsifiers, at a temperature which must be above the highest melting point of all polymers present and wherein the ratio between said polymer and said organic solvent is at least 1 / 1 Precursors (preferably organic acids), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and / or polyalkyl (meth)acrylates are mixed together to form an organic solution;

[0089] ii. cooling said organic solution at a temperature less than or equal to 95°C, or pressurizing under a pressure sufficient to avoid rapid evaporation of water;

[0090] iii. Adding an aqueous alkaline solution to said cooled or pressurized solution to completely neutralize the organic acid present, thereby creating a primary emulsifier and forming an inverse emulsion comprising an a...

Embodiment 1

[0116] In a glass reactor, at 110°C, xylene (δ=18MPa 1 / 2 ), heat-dissolve a mixture of 6 parts of oleic acid and 100 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate resin as a pour point depressant. Copolymer of VA and 25 g / 10' (72%) flow index, EVA copolymer composition characterized by 40% VA and 60 g / 10' (14%) flow index. The copolymer / solvent ratio is equal to 1 / 1. The mixture was cooled at 90° C. to achieve complete neutralization before adding 16 parts of 7.5% KOH solution. Then 185 parts of deionized water containing 1 part of the anionic surfactant, alkyl-diphenyl ether disulfonate (sodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate) was added at room temperature. At 25% active phase (ie pour point depressant additive) an emulsion was obtained in which the dispersed phase was characterized by an average particle size of about 1.3 [mu]m.

Embodiment 2

[0118] Use the distillate of high boiling point aromatic solvent as solvent (δ=17.5-18MPa 1 / 2 ,T eb =179° C.), ie heavy aromatic naphtha, was prepared in the same manner as described in Example 1.

[0119] At 25% active phase an emulsion was obtained in which the dispersed phase was characterized by an average particle size of about 950 nm.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an aqueous emulsion comprising: a) 50% to 60% of an organic phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, said organic phase comprising 24% to 30% of the Mixtures of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and / or polyalkyl(meth)acrylates, indicated in the specification as polymer components, with high-boiling organic solvents or mixtures of said solvents; b) relative to the final emulsion, the concentration Greater than or equal to 0.1% and less than or equal to 3% by weight of the primary emulsifier; c) 37% to 47% of the aqueous phase; wherein, in the final aqueous emulsion, the polymer component and the organic solvent are The ratio between the two is at least 1 / 1, and wherein the organic solvent and any polymer of the polymer component have a Hildebrand solubility parameter δ, such that for any polymer of the polymer component, the difference (δ 溶剂 _δ 聚合物 ) is less than 2 in absolute value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aqueous emulsion containing ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and / or polyalkyl (meth)acrylate and a preparation method thereof. [0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of said aqueous emulsion as an anti-gelling additive (here denoted "pour point depressant" additive or PPD) of crude oil. [0003] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a new method for the preparation of aqueous emulsions containing ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and / or polyalkyl (meth)acrylates which are easily injected into oil pipes. [0004] The invention applies to the field of "pour point depressants", i.e. substances mainly of a polymeric nature capable of interacting with the paraffins present in waxy crude oils, thereby preventing their crystallization and lowering the gelation temperature or converting the treated fluid to The "pour point" of a substance is lowered below a specific threshold to be considered suitable ...
