Abstract

In recent years, long-chain amidosulfobetaine surfactants are interesting additives in the acidification process. However, there is a strong interaction between them and Fe(III) ions, which has a negative effect on viscoelastic behavior. In this work, the rheological behavior of a spent solution of amidosulfobetaine and iron ions as an impurity in the acidification process was investigated. The results showed that by increasing the iron ion concentration, the viscosity of the solution increased slightly, followed by a significant decrease and subsequent precipitation of the viscoelastic surfactant. By increasing the temperature, the iron tolerance decreases noticeably.

Kurzfassung

In den letzten Jahren sind langkettige Amidosulfobetaintenside interessante Additive im Ansäuerungsprozess geworden. Es besteht jedoch eine starke Wechselwirkung zwischen ihnen und Fe(III)-Ionen, die sich negativ auf das viskoelastische Verhalten auswirkt. In dieser Arbeit wurde das rheologische Verhalten einer verbrauchten Lösung eines Amidosulfobetains und Eisenionen als Verunreinigung im Ansäuerungsprozess untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass durch Erhöhen der Eisenionenkonzentration die Viskosität der Lösung leicht anstieg, gefolgt von einer signifikanten Abnahme und anschließenden Ausfällung des viskoelastischen Tensids. Durch Erhöhung der Temperatur nimmt die Eisentoleranz merklich ab.
