Nonyl amine, octadecyl amine and aminoamide of carboxylic acid fraction of linseed oil have been propoxylated using propylene oxide and the structure and composition of obtained propoxylates confirmed by IR-spectroscopy. Tensiometric measurements made it possible to reveal high surface activity of these propoxylates. As a result of laboratory tests through the use of thin films of Ramana crude oil on the surface of distilled, fresh and sea water, a good petroleum-collecting capacity of the synthesized reagents has been determined. Keywords: amines, propoxylation, surface activity, petroleum-collecting properties

INTRODUCTION

Surfactants are widely used in various spheres of mankind's activity [1]. Among these spheres, oil and gas industry must be mentioned first of all [2, 3]. In the world practice, mainly ethoxylates of higher alcohols and monocarboxylic acids are utilized [4]. However, over the past two decades, propoxylates of the mentioned alcohols and acids also drew great interest of specialists [2, 5, 6].

The present paper highlights propoxylation of higher aliphatic amines. An introduction of propoxy-groups into composition of alkyl amines promises obtaining of valuable surface-active compounds. A study into their physical-chemical properties is also of interest, especially for identifying new fields of application of these surfactants.

Nonyl amine and octadecyl amine were products of "Alfa Aesar" firm (Great Britain).

Linseed oil was the product of "Sultanbeyli" firm (Istanbul, Turkey).

Propylene oxide (PO) was the industrial product of "Organic Synthesis" plant (Sumgayit, Azerbaijan) of 99.8% purity.

Sodium hydroxide was used as a reagent of "analytically pure" grade ("Chemapol" firm, Czech Republic).

Potassium hydroxide was taken as a reagent of "analytically pure" grade ("Chemapol" firm, Czech Republic).

Nonyl amine and octadecyl amine were propoxylated by PO at 53°C and equimolar ratio of reactants for six hours in an autoclave made of stainless steel and equipped with a controlled heating system. The unreacted

amount of PO was evaporated from the final mixture at mild temperature until a constant mass obtained. By gravimetric measurements conversion of PO and average degree of propoxylation - n (the number of PO moles added to 1 mol of amine) were calculated. In both cases, the value of "n" was close to 1.0.

Propoxylated nonyl amine is a white paraffin-like soft solid. Propoxylated octadecyl amine is also a white paraffinic solid.

Diethylene triamine (DETA) was the reagent of Russia, molar mass-73.14 q.mol-1, density-0.707 qml-1, boiling point-55-56 °C, refractive index was 1.3850 (20 °C).

Surface activity of the synthesized products was studied at the air-water interface by means of "KSV Sigma 702" tensiometer (Israel) using Du Nouy ring [7]. The method

consists in measuring the maximum force necessary for detaching the ring off the liquid surface.

Specific electro-conductivity (k) of the aqueous solutions of the obtained compounds was measured by "Anion-4120" electro-conductometer (Russian Federation).

Petroleum-collecting capacity of the synthesized surfactants was evaluated according to the well-known method [3]. Distilled, fresh and sea waters were introduced into three Petri dishes (40 ml per each dish). 1 ml of petroleum was added to the surface of water in each dish (thickness of petroleum layer makes up ~0.165 mm). The surfactant (or its 5% wt. solution in water or ethanol) was added at the amount of 0.02 g. The petroleum-collecting capacity was estimated according to a change of surface area of the petroleum which becomes collected into a spot. This area was measured by a stencil plate with accuracy ~10%. The petrocollecting activity was characterized by collecting ratio - k, which indicates how many times the surface area of

the initial oil slick decreases under impact of the surfactant. Retention time of the collected oil - t is also registered and used for characteristics of the reagent.

Petrodispersing capacity of the reagents was estimated as the ratio of the cleaned water surface area and surface area of the initial oil slick (in %).

Characteristics of the used fresh water: density at 20°C 0.996 g*mL-1; pH 7.0-7.6; chemical composition (g-equiv / 100 g): Ca2+ 0.0052; Mg2+ 0.0023: Cl- 0.0007; SO^ 0.0044; HCO- 0.0273; CO32- 0.0009; total hardness 4.5 mg-equiv L-1; the sea (Caspian) water: density at 20°C 1.0098 g*mL-1; pH 7.7; chemical composition (mg / 1000 g): Na+ 2650; K+ 20: Ca2+ 250; Mg+2 900; NH+ 0.15; Cl- 500; SO4- 2800; NO- 0.1; PO34- 0.35; SiO2 0.5; total hardness 69.0 mg-equiv. L-1.

Ramana crude oil had the following characteristics: at 20°C the density - 0.86 g*mL-1; kinematic viscosity at 20°C - 0.16 cSt.

RESULTS AND THEIR DISCUSSION

The performed reactions of PO with nonyl amine and octadecyl amine may be described by the following scheme:

where R is C9H19 or C18H37.

The structure and composition of the obtained alkyl aminoalcohols were identified by iR-spectroscopy method. For example, in the spectrum of octadecyl isopropylolamine there are the following absorption bands (cm-

1): 3329.9 v (OH), 3274.8 v (NH), 2957.0, 2914.3 and 2849.0 v (CH), 1643.6, 1568.1 and 848.9 ô (N-H), 1467.7, 1380.9 and 1342.3 Ô (CH), 1307.2 v (C-N), 1157.6 and 951.2 v (C-N), 1043.6, v (C-O), 718.4, ô (CH2)x.

Results of tensiometric measurements of interfacial tension (a) at the border of aqueous solutions of the obtained alkyl aminoalcohols with air as well as the determined values of specific electro-conductance of these solutions are given in Table 1.

As is seen from the obtained tensio-metric results, nonyl iso-propylolamine is more surface-active than octadecyl iso-propylolamine. The first alkyl aminoalcohol lowers O from 72.0 down to 24.1 mN/m (at concentration 5.0% wt.) whereas the second one decreases the interfacial tension down to only 32.5 mN/m (at concentration 0.3% wt.).

Electroconductometric analysis shows that aqueous solutions of nonyl

o

isopropylolamine have markedly higher values of specific electroconductivity than those of octadecyl isopropylolamine which may be explained by presence of significantly shorter alkyl group in the first one. Manifestation of conductivity by aqueous solutions of non-charged alkyl aminoalcohols is ensured by partial hydration of amino-fragments with the charged groups as follows:

In Tables 2 and 3, the results of laboratory studies of petrocollecting capacity of the synthesized surfactants are presented.

As is seen from Table 2, nonyl isopropylolamine in unthinned state is effective in all three waters (kmax is 44.25 in distilled and fresh waters, 22.25- in the sea water; t exceeds 3 days in all three cases). 5%

wt. aqueous solution of this reagent demonstrates a good petrocollecting capability in fresh water (kmax is 18.42, t is longer than ~ 4 days). 5% wt. ethanolic solution manifests marked petrocollecting properties in distilled (kmax=18.99, t>4 days) and sea (kmax=20.26, t>4 days) waters.

From Table 3 it follows that octadecyl isopropylol amine is an effective petroleum-collecting agent in all waters and in all forms of application. For example, in the sea water, when using 5% aqueous solution of this surfactant, kmax has the value 27.83, the retention time surpassing 3 days.

To compare results shown in Tables 2 and 3, it may be concluded that the second

synthesized surfactant with a longer hydrocarbon group (Ci8) has a higher petrocollecting capacity.

The use of PO propoxylation was also performed with DETA-based aminoamide of monocarboxylic acids fraction of linseed oil. The procedure of obtaining this amino amide is described in [8]. The scheme of the aminoamide propoxylation is as follows:
