The diamond oil field is located in Blocks 0102 Offshore Vietnam. Crude oil from Diamond Well Head Platform (WHP) is evacuated to FPSO via 20 km - 10” subsea flexible pipeline. The lowest seabed temperature in the field is 22˚C, while the pouring point temperature of this crude oil is very high (36˚C) due to high paraffin content (about 25% by weight). So studying to synthesize a copolymer use to reduce the pour point temperature of this oil is very important. The copolymer must have the ability to reduce the pour point temperature of the crude oil from 36˚C to 21˚CThe synthesis process occurred via copolymerization of acrylate, methacrylate and vinyl acetate monomers using the free radical polymerization method in Solvent 100 as a solvent. There are many factors that affect copolymerization reaction and therefore they will impact the structure and performance of the said copolymer. One of the most important factors is the ratio of initiator to monomer in the reaction.Therefore the aim of this research is to choose an appropriated ratio of initiator to produce a copolymer that can reduce pour point temperature of Diamond crude oil from 36˚C to 21˚C at a dosage of 1.750ppmv
The single phase of Mn0.5Fe2.5O4 spinel crystals was prepared by the micro-emulsion method with the oil phase is DGDE (diethylene glycol diethyl ether). The characteristics of the materials have been determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunaure-Emmet-Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption and desorption, Vibration sampling magnetometer (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the single phase of Fe0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4 crystalline was formed due to the substitution of Fe by Mn in the Fe3O4 crystal lattice and single phase spinel crystal is formed with the size of 6.7 nm, specific surface area ≈ 193 m2.g-1, the saturation magnetization reaches ≈ 27 emu.g-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
