Abstract
Describes an innovative test method for determination of the main demulsifier-based pollutants in the produced water of oil wells, before draining to seawater. The type, concentration and distribution of diols depend on the demulsifier of interest. However, the main chemical species are the same. The novelty of this work is selective extraction and preconcentration of low chain diols in the produced water of oil fields.
In this extraction method, dispersive solvent containing extraction solvent was rapidly injected into the water sample containing analytes, and a cloudy solution was formed. After centrifugation, these droplets were sedimented in the bottom of the conical test tube. Then 2.0 mL of sedimented phase containing preconcentrated analytes was injected into the gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector. The parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were evaluated and optimized. Factors such as the kind and volume of both extraction and disperser solvents, extraction and centrifugation times, pH and temperature, and salt effect were studied and optimized.
