A Promising Material by Using Residue Waste from Bisphenol A Manufacturing to Prepare Fluid-Loss-Control Additive in Oil Well Drilling Fluid

الملخص EN

The residues mixture from Bisphenol A manufacturing process was analyzed.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to characterize the residues.

The results indicated that the residues were complex mixture of several molecules.

3-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,3-trimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-5-ol and phenol were the main components of the residues.

The technical feasibility of using it as phenol replacement in fluid-loss-control additive production was also investigated.

The fluid-loss-control capacity of the novel additive was systematically investigated.

It was discovered that the well fluid-loss performance of the prepared additive can be achieved, especially at high temperature.
