Ethanolamine

Ethanolamine

Ethanolamine, also known as monoethanolamine, is a chemical compound that is used in the production of paints and coatings as well as in softeners and paint removers. It can also be used in combination with ethylene glycol to form salts that are useful as corrosion inhibitors in oil drilling fluids or as antifreeze.From: Handbook of Petroleum Refining [2019], Handbook of Detergents, Part F [2019], Biodegradability assessment of scale inhibitors from oil industry [2023]

Ethanolamine derivatives are prepared by the reaction of aqueous ammonia and ethylene oxide and the product (monoethanolamine) reacts with a second and third equivalent of ethylene oxide to give diethanolamine and triethanolamine: (CH2CH2)O+NH3→HOCH2CH2NH2H2NCH2CH2OH+(CH2CH2)O→HN(CH2CH2OH)2HN(CH2CH2OH)2+(CH2CH2)O→N(CH2CH2OH)3

Chemical/Physical. Polymerizes easily (Windholz et al., 1983). Hydrolyzes in water, forming ethanolamine (HSDB, 1989). The estimated hydrolysis half-life in water at 25°C and pH 7 is 154 days (Mabey and Mill, 1978).

Another compounds that can block pipelines, cause economic and environmental damage during gas production and transportation are gas hydrates (Khatinzadeh et al. 2020). The most used method to inhibit the formation of gas hydrates is the use of chemical inhibitors (Bahadori 2015). Ethylene glycol and methanol are used as gas hydrate inhibitors (Kan, Fu, and Tomson 2003). As an aid to ethylene glycol, ethanolamines can be used to form salts useful as corrosion inhibitors in oil drilling fluids or as ethylene glycol antifreeze (Knaak et al. 1997)
