Abstract

This research included the preparation and characterization of new demulsifies from natural and synthetic polymers of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol that are environmentally friendly and at the same time have high efficacy comparable to emulsifiers. imported foreign. The prepared compounds were examined using infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and all the spectral signals of the polymers were in good agreement with the chemical composition of the polymers. And the melting and decomposition that occur on polymers at high temperatures. The effect of the length and type of side chain in the compositions of polymers on the process of water separation of oil emulsions was studied, and they had an important impact on the levels of water separation. The solubility behavior of polymers was also known, so that there was a solubility difference in Different organic solvents according to the type of the side chain of a hydrocarbon nature, and the best solubility of the prepared polymers was a solvent (dimethyl sulfoxide). The best polymerization time was found (12) h, as well as the best temperature at which polymerization takes place is (70 °C) and the prepared emulsion was compared with The commercial emulsifier was evaluated for its efficiency in separating water from crude oil (crude oil Basra) and compared to the commercial emulsifier, it was more efficient than the commercial one in separating water from oil.
