Abstract: A serious of alkyl polyoxypropylene sulfonate surfactant was synthesized. The O/W interfacial activity of alkyl polyoxypropylene sulfonate surfactant was investigated. The results showed that the interfacial tension of Indonesia crude oil/formation water could reach ultralow level (10-3mN/m order of the magnitude) under weak alkali (Na2CO3) concentration from 0.4wt% to 1.0wt% with C16PO8S, C16PO10S, C18PO8S and C18PO10S alkyl polyoxypropylene sulfonate respectively. These surfactants showed good interface activity and salt and divalent cation tolerance ability. Combinations of alkyl polyoxypropylene sulfanate homologies with different carbon chain length could significantly improve the interface activity. The IFT of Indonesia oil/formation water could reach ultralow interfacial tension under alkali free conditions. The combination of alkyl polyoxypropylene sulfonate surfactant with petroleum sulfonate could improve the salt tolerance ability of formula.

Abstract: With 2-keto-L-gulonic acid(2KLG) and methanol as raw materials, 98% concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst, the methyl esterification reaction is occurred. Then with sodium carbonate as a transforming agent, a conversion reaction sodium carbonate is obtained. In this experiment, the effects of reaction time, reaction temperature and reactant ratio on conversion rate of sodium ascorbate were studied. The results showed that sodium carbonate as the reactant of lactonization reaction can effectively shorten the reaction time and improve reaction yield. By experiment under the optimum process conditions: the reaction temperature is 65 °C, reaction time is 150 minutes and the molar ratio of 2-keto-L-gu methyl to sodium carbonate is 1:0.6, the conversion rate reaches 98 % and the effect is better than with sodium bicarbonate as transforming agent.

Abstract: To investigate the efficiency of nano-antibacterial finishing methods, we compared the advantages and disadvantages of the current antibacterial method and presented out a newly finishing technics based on the nano-zinc-oxide material. Moreover, the experimental study and optimal choice were carried out for the formulations of finishing agent in its preparation. The results shown that by adapting the zinc-oxide based formulated compound with the special technics, the antibacterial effect is obvious. The antibacterial effect of the textile has no significant change after soaping and water washing 10 times or above.

Abstract: Four di-cyanoethyl azo disperse dyes based on N,N-bis(2-cyanoethyl)-m-methylaniline were synthesized using four different heterocyclic aromatic amines as the diazo components. They were characterized by UV-Vis, IR, 1HNMR, MS and EA. The dyeing performance of these dyes were assessed on polyester, fir powder, and acetylated fir powder. On polyester, the results showed that the maxinum absorption of four heterocyclic azo disperse dyes were from 414 nm to 599 nm(acetone), they were also found to show a wide range of colour shades followed as yellow, bright crimson, bulish violet and blue shades, the dyed fibers also presented good light fastness and excellent fastness to wash. Simultaneously, the dyeing performance of the dyes were also assessed on acetylated fir powder and they were found to give the similar color shades comparing with the dyeing on polyester fiber.

Abstract: An experimental investigation was carried out to explore the major physical and chemical properties of expanded barium nitrate. Expanded barium nitrate with porous structure was made. The method is as follows: moderately evaporate the solution of barium nitrate and inorganic vesicant; heat the crystallized mixture to decompose the inorganic vesicants. The inorganic vesicants are potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium oxalate, potassium acetate, ammonium acetate and ammonium perchlorate. The SEM shows that the modified barium nitrate with potassium carbonate has obvious porous structure. The bulk density of the modified barium nitrate with ammonium perchlorate decreases by 14.6% and the hygroscopicity of that with ammonium oxalate is only 0.06%. The one with sodium carbonate decomposes at 300°C. The safety test shows that both the impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity are 0%.

Abstract: An efficient process has been developed for the synthesis of N,N′-Diphenylpiperazine and its formyl derivative. N,N′-Diphenylpiperazine was prepared from aniline with tris(2-chloro ethyl)phosphate as an excellent alkylating reagent at a high yield (90.86%), which gave N,N′- bis(p-formylphenyl) piperazine by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction in a good yield of 86.70%. Particularly, the purity of products and the reaction progress were monitored by simple and reliable thin-layer chromatography (TLC) methods on glass-backed GF254 silica gel plate. The structure of all the products was confirmed by their melting points, spectral data (IR, 1H-NMR).

Abstract: Surfactant ultra-low interfacial tension (IFT) for internal olefin sulfonate with iso-amylalcohol (IAA) as co-solvent against heptane, octane and decane at 20 °C, 50 °C, and 90 °C respectively have been systematically investigated, as well as the dynamic retention in porous media. The results show for oils with alkane carbon number from 7 to 10 and temperature from 20 °C to 90 °C, optimal salinity starts from 6.5 wt% to 11.6 wt% NaCl, where ultra-low IFT occurs. While at high salinity (at least from 6 wt% NaCl ), the retention is too high for surfactant flooding to be applicable. Only internal olefin sulfonate with co-solvent alone can not provide a perfect formulation with ultra-low IFT and low retention.

Abstract: The film-forming effect of a new kind of compound inhibitor at high temperature was researched, with taking pure octadecyamine and pure imidazoline as comparison tests. Coupon test has been taken with autoclave simulating the on-site water-vapor environment; the film-forming effect of the coupon has been evaluated by hydrophobic test, acid copper sulfate drip test ,AC impedance test and scanning electron microscope(SEM) test. The GC-MS test was taken to analysis decomposition products of the compound inhibitor. The results show that the compound inhibitor can film well, and decomposition product doesn’t contain low molecular weight organic acids and other harmful ingredients. The compound inhibitor can applied into practice safely and efficiently.

Abstract: Lignosulfonate (LS) is an important dispersant for wettable powder (WP). Though domestic products of lignosulfonate in China are very cheap compared to imported products, their performance is often inferior. Two modified products GCL4-1 and GCL4-A, from sodium lignosulfonate and alkali lignin respectively, were developed and their dispersive effects on the performance of 40% myclobutanil wettable powder (WP) were studied compared with the imported product Borresperse Na and the domestic product SXMN. Results show that GCL4-1 and GCL4-A have superior performance in these properties: suspensibility, wettability, surface tension, contact angle and solution retention. GCL4-A was found to be a suitable dispersant for the wettable powder pesticide for it has the best performance per unit price.
