  • The phenol-amine resin was synthesized through dehydration condensation reaction of bisphenol A, diethylenetriamine and formaldehyde at reaction temperature 70 ℃, reaction time 60 min and the post treatment was 120 ℃, 1.33 kPa. PAE polyether demulsifiers with different EO mass fraction and mass ratio of initiator to PO were synthesized through reactions with different proportions of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide using phenol-amine resin as initiator. The characterization of PAE demulsifiers was studied by surface tension measurement and UV-vis spectra method. The results show that within low concentrations the ability of decreasing surface tension increased with decreasing EO mass fraction and increasing mass ratio of initiator to PO; the efficiency of decreasing surface tension increases with increasing mass ratio of initiator to PO and decreasing EO mass fraction. From the demulsification experiments a conclusion has been drawn that the final dehydration rate of demulsifiers increased with increasing mass fraction of EO; the speed of reaching dehydration platform is faster for the demulsifier with high mass ratio of initiator to PO. Dehydration rate of 80% is observed at 40 ℃,15 min and dosage 20 mg/L for PAE84, and there is no demulsification effect for SP169 at the same condition.

  • The purification of cyclopentadiene and the electrosynthesis of nickelocene were studied. Nickelocene was electrochemical synthesized by using purified cyclopentadiene as the raw material, and metal nickel used as both anode and cathode, sodium bromide as the conducting salt, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the organic solvent, and nitrogen as the protection gas of the solution. In the dicyclopentadiene purification experiment, the best depolymerization and best circumfluence temperature of cyclopentadiene are 170 ℃ and 120 ℃ respectively. The purification process above must be continuously carried on. The purities of dicyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene determined by gas chromatography are 95.4% and 97.3%. In the electrochemical synthesis experiment, the electrode potential changes are first determined using calomel electrode as the reference electrode; meanwhile the polarizing curves are also measured in order to confirm the best current density, i.e. 3.93 mA/cm2. Secondly the best reaction time determined is 210 min through the observation of the solution color changes, the electrode potential changes, the ultraviolet and the infrared spectrogram of the solution. Finally the current efficiency is 82.87% by calculating the mass decrement of nickel board during the experiment. 
