The deposition of BaSO4scale is always found in the oilfield. It is difficult to be removed. Therefore, it plays a negative role to the production. The effects of temperature and water chemistry on BaSO4scale have been investigated by using the conductivity method in this work. An environment-friendly copolymer was prepared to control the scaling of BaSO4. The copolymer was proved by static scale inhibition method, and weight-loss test that it has excellent scale inhibition performance and corrosion inhibition efficiency. Furthermore, FTIR spectra was used to prove that the scale inhibitor was polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA).

In response to the serious barium / strontium – scale in oilfields, we simulated oilfield conditions and investigated the scale inhibition performance of several common scale inhibitors to barium and strontium, by following the protocol from Evaluation Methods of Anti-Scale Agent for Oilfield Use, Petroleum Gas Standards of People’s Republic of China SY/T 5673. The most effective scale inhibitor CD-1 was screened out. With CD-1 as barium / strontium scale inhibitor in the static anti-scale analytical experiments, the dependence of scale inhibition performance on scale inhibitor concentration, saltiness, temperature, time and the system pH was investigated. The application conditions of barium / strontium scale inhibitor in real petroleum and gas field was obtained. Under the optimized application conditions, the mixture scale inhibitor had better scale inhibition efficiency than CD-1 alone.

An environment-friendly and multifunctional agent for industry circulation cooling water, polyaspartic acid derivatives with dihydroxyl group(DHPAP) was synthesized in aqueous solution. The FTIR spectrum of DHPAP was analyzed. Static experiments were carried out to validate scale inhibition performance of DHPAP. The scale inhibition ratios exceed 90% when 8 and 10 mg/L DHPAP under solution temperatures of 80 and 60°C, respectively. The scale inhibition ratios increase by increasing the DHPAP concentration with 6 and 8 mg/L under heating times of 10 and 6h, respectively. And the scale inhibition ratios are over 90%.

Abstract A phosphorus-free scale inhibitor (ionic liquid–carboxylic acid copolymer) was successfully synthesized by the reaction of 1-sulfobutyl-3-vinylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (SVIS) and acrylic acid (AA). The structure of the product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR). Then the scale inhibition efficiency of 1-sulfobutyl-3-vinylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate-acrylic acid (SVIS-AA) copolymer against CaCO3 and CaSO4 was determined. The results indicated that SVIS-AA copolymer showed better scale inhibition efficiency than poly (acrylic acid) (PAA). After that, the effects of temperature and Ca2+ concentration on the scale inhibition efficiency against CaCO3 were studied. Results showed that when the temperature reached 90 °C, the scale inhibition efficiency could still remain 91% at a concentration of 18 mg L−1. When the concentration of Ca2+ reached 1,200 mg L−1, the scale inhibition efficiency could remain 70% at a concentration of 20 mg L−1. At last, the effect of SVIS-AA copolymer on the morphologies of CaCO3 and CaSO4 scale was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The static scale inhibition method will be used to evaluate the scale inhibition performance of HEDP. In order to study the corrosion inhibition of 20A steel with additive of HEDP in the industrial boiler water medium,the total iron ions in the solution are determined through autoclave static experiments. The results indicated that the scale inhibition efficiency,in the simulation boiler water with a certain concentration ratio and temperature,reached the maximum when CHEDP is 7 mg/L. It has a good corrosion inhibition effect on the 20A steel when the HEDP concentration exceeds 15ppm.

This paper studies the corrosion inhibition performance and mechanism of dextrin (Dxt) and its graft copolymer with caprolactam (Dxt-g-CPL) on J55 steel in 1 M HCl solution. Caprolactam is grafted and copolymerized with dextrin by a chemical synthesis method, to obtain a dextrin graft copolymer corrosion inhibitor. The composition of the synthesized graft copolymer was characterized by FTIR to identify whether the grafting was successful. Through weightlessness, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization curve (TAFEL), scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and contact angle experiments, the graft copolymer to J55 steel in 1 M HCl solution and the corrosion inhibition performance were evaluated. Moreover, we discuss its corrosion inhibition mechanism. The dextrin graft copolymer has good corrosion inhibition performance for J55 in 1 M HCl solution. When the concentration of the corrosion inhibitor increases, the corrosion inhibition efficiency will also increase. At a certain concentration, when the temperature rises, the corrosion inhibition efficiency will gradually decrease. When the concentration is 300 mg/L, it has a better corrosion inhibition effect, and the corrosion inhibition efficiency is 82.38%. Potential polarization studies have shown that Dxt-g-CPL is a mixed corrosion inhibitor, which inhibits both the cathode and the anode of the electrode reaction. SEM, SECM, and contact angle analysis results show that Dxt-g-CPL can significantly inhibit corrosion. Compared with Dxt, Dxt-g-CPL has a better inhibitory effect.

The present study was undertaken to find out the phytochemicals present in Bougainvillea glabra bracts extract and to compare the corrosion inhibition efficiency between B.glabra Pink, Orange and White coloured bract extract on mild steel in 1N HCl. Phyto chemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and tannins in the extract as confirmed by implying different qualitative tests specified for these phytochemical. Corrosion rate, inhibition efficiency, FTIR analysis was determined. The corrosion of mild steel in 1N HCl acid media was significantly reduced upon the additions of BG bract extracts. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increasing concentration of the inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency was observed at an optimum concentration of 2 % v/v.

A new non-phosphorus composite water treatment agent m (PASP) : m (PESA) : m (HPMA) : m (BTA) = 8:12:10:5 was developed from polyaspartic acid (PASP), polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA), hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride (HPMA) and benzotriazole (BTA). The performance of corrosion and scale inhibition were evaluated by rotary hanging-piece, electrochemical and bubble experiments. The corrosion testing piece was characterized by SEM. The results show that the new environment-friendly composite water treatment agent has good performance of corrosion and scale inhibition. Further dynamic simulated test also indicates that the water treatment agent meet the use demand of circulating cooling water.

The binary polymer AA/SAS was synthesized by acrylic acid (AA) and sodium allylsulfonate (SAS), named as AS and its structure was characterized. Its scale inhibition performance was also investigated for single CaCO3, CaSO4 scales, and composite scales in simulated formation water containing Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+ and Sr2+. The results indicate that when adding 50mg/L of the inhibitor, it is 85.05% efficient for CaCO3 inhibition and 98.85% for CaSO4, but only 49.05% and 51.58% for BaSO4 and SrSO4 separately. The scale inhibition performance is obvious in the simulated formation water with high concentration of calcium (1300mg/L) and low barium ion (100mg/L ), the inhibition efficiency are both above 85% at a dosage of 80mg/L. And it can fairly satisfy the demand of inhibiting composite scales (CaCO3 scale, CaSO4 scale, BaSO4 scale and SrSO4 scale), when AS and CT was combined at a mass ratio of 2:1 in high calcium , barium and strontium ions contained formation water, being 95.3% efficient at the dosage of 100mg/L.
