Application of Lignin from Oil Palm Biomass as a Fluid Lost Reducer

摘要

This paperexplainedthe use ofsolventnon-reactive technique with catalyst based on solution polymerization.The polymerization of Lignin as a raw material could produce a new compound as Lignin Graft Copolymer(LGC)which can be used in oilfield operation to solve fluid loss problems.In this technique,Lignin polymerize with superabsorbent polymer(SAP)using different parameters such as;heat,staring,time,and amount of catalyst.The Lignin was extracted from soda pulping process of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch(OPEFB)long fibers.Lignin functional groups were characterized using Fourier TransformInfrared(FT-IR)spectroscopy.This product required further laboratory experiments to enhance its industrial applicability as a drilling fluid reducer.
