Applications of Gemini Quaternary Ammonium Salts
Jan 11, 2024Gemini quaternary ammonium salts have a wider range of applications due to their unique properties. Ahsuperchem mainly summarize them as follows:
• Application in oil fields
Gemini quaternary ammonium salt can be used for oilfield sterilization, and its bactericidal effect is better when combined with other surfactants. Collaborating with polymer for oil recovery in oil fields can greatly improve oil recovery efficiency and reduce costs; Combined with water-soluble polymers for oilfield anti swelling, the effect is significant.
• Used for deinking waste paper
Gemini quaternary ammonium salt can synergistically enhance the efficiency of deinking agents added to anionic systems. Used for deinking waste paper, it can not only reduce the amount of deinking agent, but also reduce the amount of alkali, improve pulp yield, pulp whiteness, and pulp strength.
• Application in industrial water treatment
In industrial water treatment, Gemini quaternary ammonium salt and atomic oxygen fungicides are used in combination to kill bacteria and algae, with a dosage of only 1/10 of ordinary quaternary ammonium salt and a long duration of efficacy, up to 3-5 times that of ordinary quaternary ammonium salt.
• Used as a degreaser and charge regulator for printed circuit boards
Used as a degreaser and charge regulator in the preparation of printed circuit boards, it can achieve uniform copper plating density and high sedimentation rate in the chemical copper plating process, especially for micro hole copper plating, which can greatly improve the product qualification rate.
• Used for pesticide emulsification and efficiency enhancement
Gemini quaternary ammonium salt emulsifies pesticides with strong emulsifying power, reduces toxicity, and improves efficacy, making it the preferred choice for the new generation of cationic pesticide emulsifiers.
• Other fields
Gemini quaternary ammonium salts can also be used as textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, inorganic salts and fertilizer anti caking agents, metal corrosion inhibitors and cleaning agents, optical instrument grinding fluids, etc
