Abstract

Abstract Oxyalkylated addition products from ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymers and bis-glycidyl ethers, obtained by the addition of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymers of the formula ##STR1## wherein R denotes methyl or ethyl, n and m are numbers which are so chosen that the content of polyethylene oxide groups is 5 to 80% of the molecular weight of the block polymer, and p is a number larger than 10, to bis-glycidyl ethers of the formula ##STR2## wherein the R 1 's can be identical or different and denote hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or halogen, in particular chlorine, A denotes a direct bond, a sulfonyl or cyclohexyl group or a group of the formula ##STR3## R 2 denotes hydrogen, methyl or phenyl, and a denotes an integer from 0 to 10, and subsequent oxyalkylation with propylene oxide or butylene oxide and, if appropriate, ethylene oxide, the amount of propylene oxide or butylene oxide which is added last being 1 to 90% by weight of the total molecule and the amount of ethylene oxide which, optionally, has also been added, being 50% by weight of the total molecule. These addition compounds are used for breaking crude oil emulsions.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 213 words
An oxyalkylated addition product, said addition product being formed from the components consisting essentially of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymer and a bis-glycidyl ether, said addition product being obtained by the addition of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymer of the formula ##STR8## in which R denotes methyl or ethyl, n and m are numbers which are so chosen that the content of polyethylene oxide groups constitutes 5 to 80% of the molecular weight of the block polymer and p is a number larger than 10, to a bis-glycidyl ether of the formula ##STR9## in which the R 1 's can be identical or different and denote hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or halogen, in particular chlorine, A denotes a direct bond, a sulfonyl or cyclohexyl group or a group of the formula ##STR10## R 2 denotes hydrogen, methyl or phenyl and a is an integer from 0 to 10, said addition product being subsequently oxyalkylated with propylene oxide or butylene oxide and 0-50% ethylene oxide, the amount of the propylene oxide or butylene oxide which is added last being 1 to 90% by weight of the total molecule, the amount of the ethylene oxide, which may have also been added, being up to 50% by weight of the total molecule.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 213 words
An oxyalkylated addition product, said addition product being formed from the components consisting essentially of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymer and a bis-glycidyl ether, said addition product being obtained by the addition of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymer of the formula ##STR8## in which R denotes methyl or ethyl, n and m are numbers which are so chosen that the content of polyethylene oxide groups constitutes 5 to 80% of the molecular weight of the block polymer and p is a number larger than 10, to a bis-glycidyl ether of the formula ##STR9## in which the R 1 's can be identical or different and denote hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or halogen, in particular chlorine, A denotes a direct bond, a sulfonyl or cyclohexyl group or a group of the formula ##STR10## R 2 denotes hydrogen, methyl or phenyl and a is an integer from 0 to 10, said addition product being subsequently oxyalkylated with propylene oxide or butylene oxide and 0-50% ethylene oxide, the amount of the propylene oxide or butylene oxide which is added last being 1 to 90% by weight of the total molecule, the amount of the ethylene oxide, which may have also been added, being up to 50% by weight of the total molecule.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
An oxyalkylated addition product according to claim 1, wherein, when an R 1 is halogen, said halogen is chlorine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method for breaking crude oil emulsions comprising the step of using an oxyalkylated addition product of claim 1 in said method.
