Abstract

Water-soluble phenolic resin was synthesized via two-step alkaline catalytic reaction. The influences of synthesis process conditions on hydroxymethyl content of water-soluble phenolic resin molecular chain were also studied. The results show that the increase of formaldehyde dosage, as well as the increase of reaction temperature and reaction time, the content of hydromethyl in resin increased first, and then decreased. Without the addition of stabilizer, polymer weak gel for flooding was synthesized with HPAM crosslinked water-soluble phenolic resin. The performance analysis of the weak gel shows that the change of viscosity of weak gel corresponds to the change of the content of hydromethyl in resin. Phenolic resin with good water-solubility and strong reaction ability to HPAM was polymerized and the reaction conditions are as following: phenol and formaldehyde in mol ratio 1:2~1:3, in solution with pH= 9~10, under final condensed polymerization temperature 85°C and in condensed polymerization time 30 minutes.
