Abstract

A reverse emulsion-based slick water concentration system, wherein the reverse emulsion is obtained by dispersing an aqueous phase A to an oil phase B under mechanical agitation; wherein the aqueous phase A is composed of a water-soluble monomer A1, a water-soluble fluorocarbon surfactant A2, a water-soluble quaternary ammonium clay stabilizer A3 and water A4; wherein the oil phase B comprises an oil-soluble dispersant/surfactant B1, an oil-soluble radical initiator B2 and a hydrophobic solvent B3 as a dispersing medium; wherein, the percentages of each component described above, relative to the total weight of the reaction system is as the following: water-soluble monomer A1: 5.0-30.0%; water-soluble fluorocarbon surfactant A2: 0.1-5.0%; water-soluble quaternary ammonium clay stabilizer A3: 0.1-15.0%; water A4: 5.0-35.0%; oil-soluble dispersant/surfactant B1: 0.1-5.0%; oil-soluble radical initiator B2: 0.000001-0.100%; hydrophobic solvent B3: remainder.
