modified, forethrede phenolaldehydkondensationsprodukter and their use for the separation of jordolieemulsioner

摘要

The new petroleum breakers are obtained by subjecting (a) an addition reaction product which has been obtained by reacting aliphatic aldehydes with phenol in a molar ratio of 1:1 to 3:1 at temperatures of 50 DEG to 80 DEG C. in the presence of an alkaline catalyst, to a condensation reaction at 80 DEG to 150 DEG C., after prior neutralization and, if appropriate, in the presence of inert solvents, with (b) a block polymer which has been prepared by reacting polypropylene glycols having molecular weights of 1,300 to 3,000 with 20 to 100% by weight of ethylene oxide in the presence of alkaline catalysts, in a ratio of 0.5 to 4 moles of (a) to 1 mole of (b), and removing the water of the reaction which is formed, and (c) adding on 10 to 400 g of propylene oxide, relative to 100 g of condensation product, or 10 to 200 g of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a ratio of 1:0.5 to 14, relative to 100 g of condensation product, in an addition reaction, to the etherified phenol/aldehyde condensation product thus obtained. When used for separating petroleum emulsions, they effect, in particular, a high and rapid removal of salt.
