Abstract:

Polymer flooding technology is one of the preferred “enhanced oil recovery”(EOR) technologies used for improving oil recovery. Among the various chemical reagents for polymer flooding technology, polyacrylamide has attracted more and more attention. To explore the improving effect of triethanolamine(TEA) on sulfonated polyacrylamide(SPAM), the interaction of negatively charged sulfonated polyacrylamide with triethanolamine and the structure of SPAM/TEA supramolecular system were investigated in aqueous solution and mineralized water by means of transmission electron microscopy(TEM), viscosity, dynamic light scattering(DLS), zeta potential and rheological experiments. The results indicate that, through the cooperative contribution of electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions, SPAM and TEA can form a large supramolecular assembly with an average diameter of 780 nm measured by DLS. Significantly, the formation of SPAM/TEA supramolecular system can efficiently improve the viscosity and rheological properties of sulfonated polyacrylamide. In addition, the nearly neutral zeta potential of SPAM/TEA supramolecular system can decrease the affect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations in the mineralized water.
