METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR SCAVENGING SULFIDES FROM HYDROCARBON FLUIDS AND AQUEOUS STREAMS

摘要

Embodiments of a composition of the present invention for scavenging sulfides from hydrocarbon fluids and water generally include diaminol/diaminacetal provided in a chemical system, wherein the diaminol/diaminacetal is prepared by reacting one molar equivalent of glyoxal and two molar equivalents of a primary amine functionality. In various embodiments, the chemical system includes at least one component selected from surfactants, hydrotropes, alcohols, amines, amino acids, and ethers. Embodiments of a method for scavenging sulfides from hydrocarbon fluids and water is also provided.
