In this article, experiments were conducted on methods for synthesizing demulsifiers with high-performance polymer properties based on hydroxy polyethylene glycol (HPEG). The effectiveness of the synthesized demulsifier in breaking oil-water emulsions was studied. Nowadays, breaking emulsions formed during oil production and refining is a very complex process. As part of scientific research, surfactants were synthesized by modifying the hydrophilic chains of HPEG with a number of hydrophobic components. The synthesized demulsifier was applied to an oil sample and its effectiveness in separating water from the oil was studied. In addition, the chemical composition and molecular structure of the demulsifier were studied and analyzed using IR spectroscopy. SEM analysis methods.

В настоящей статье проведены эксперименты по методам синтеза деэмульгаторов с высокоэффективными полимерными свойствами на основе гидроксиполиэтиленгликоля (HPEG). Изучена эффективность синтезированного деэмульгатора при разрушении нефтеводяных эмульсий. В настоящее время разрушение эмульсий, образующихся при добыче и переработке нефти, представляет собой весьма сложный процесс. В рамках научного исследования поверхностно-активные вещества были синтезированы путём модификации гидрофильных цепей HPEG рядом гидрофобных компонентов. Синтезированный деэмульгатор был применён к образцу нефти, и изучена его эффективность в отделении воды от нефти. Кроме того, химический состав и молекулярная структура деэмульгатора были изучены и проанализированы методами ИК-спектроскопии и СЭМ-анализа.

Ushbu maqolada gidroksi polietilenglikol (HPEG) asosida yuqori samarali polimer xossalariga ega demulgatorlarni sintez qilish usullari bo‘yicha tajribalar o‘tkazilgan. Sintez qilingan demulgatorning neft-suv emulsiyalarini parchalashdagi samaradorligi o‘rganilgan. Bugungi kunda neftni qazib olish va qayta ishlash jarayonida hosil bo‘ladigan emulsiyalarni parchalash juda murakkab jarayon hisoblanadi. Ilmiy tadqiqot doirasida HPEG ning gidrofil zanjirlarini bir qator gidrofob komponentlar bilan modifikatsiyalash orqali sirt-faol moddalar sintez qilingan. Sintez qilingan demulgator neft namunasiga qo‘llanilib, uning neftdan suvni ajratishdagi samaradorligi o‘rganilgan. Bundan tashqari, demulgatorning kimyoviy tarkibi va molekulyar tuzilishi IQ-spektroskopiya hamda SEM tahlil usullari yordamida o‘rganilib, tahlil qilingan.
