Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to alkaline earth metal hydrocarbyl phenates and their sulphurised derivatives, their production and use thereof as lubricating oil additives.
  • the present invention relates to concentrate additive compositions comprising alkaline earth metal hydrocarbyl phenates and their sulphurised derivatives having both a high total base number (TBN) and an acceptable viscosity, to their production and to their use as lubricating oil additives.
  • TBN total base number
  • One class of compounds generally employed to neutralise the acidic materials and disperse sludge within the lubricating oil are the metal alkyl phenates and sulphurised metal alkyl phenates, wherein the metal is an alkaline earth metal such as calcium, magnesium or barium. Both "normal” and “overbased” alkaline earth metal alkyl phenates have been employed.
  • the term “overbased” is used to describe those alkaline earth metal alkyl phenates in which the ratio of the number of equivalents of the alkaline earth metal moiety to the number of equivalents of the phenol moiety is greater than one, and is usually greater than 1.2 and may be as high as 4.5 or greater.
  • the equivalent ratio of alkaline earth metal moiety to phenol moiety in "normal” alkaline earth metal alkyl phenates is one.
  • the "overbased” material contains greater than 20% in excess of the alkaline earth metal present in the corresponding "normal” material. For this reason "overbased" alkaline earth metal alkyl phenates have a greater capability for neutralising acidic matter than do the corresponding "normal” alkaline earth metal alkyl phenates.
  • the prior art teaches many methods for preparing both "normal” and “overbased” metal alkyl phenates.
  • One such method for preparing "overbased” alkyl phenates generally referred to as the “single lime addition” process comprises reacting an alkyl phenol, in the presence or absence of sulphur, lubricating oil, a hydroxylic compound and excess alkaline earth metal hydroxide (above the stoichiometric proportion required to neutralise the alkyl phenol), to form an intermediate product, followed by carbonation, a heading distillation (to remove unreacted hydroxylic compound) and filtration.
  • the production of intermediate product is accompanied by a marked increase in viscosity while the subsequent carbonation reduces the viscosity to a relatively low level.
  • the increase in viscosity accompanying the formation of the intermediate product is undesirable because the reaction mixture becomes difficult to agitate to the detriment of subsequent reactions. Whilst this increase in viscosity may be controlled to an acceptable level by incorporation of less alkaline earth metal hydroxide in the reaction, the overbased alkyl phenate product necessarily possesses a reduced neutralisation capacity. In order to achieve a high neutralisation capacity product and at the same time control the viscosity of the intermediate product within acceptable limits, the alkaline earth metal hydroxide may be added in two, (generally referred to as the "double lime addition" process) or three separate reaction steps, with sequential carbonation steps. However, this method involves relatively long batch times.
  • TBN total base number
  • carboxylic acids either in the production of alkaline earth metal alkyl phenates and their sulphurised derivatives or in association therewith in lubricating oil compositions is not new, see for example US-A-3,372,116; GB-A-1440261; US-A-4049560 and EP-A-0094814.
  • US-A-3,372,116 discloses an improvement in the method for preparing a basic metal phenate by reacting at a temperature between about 25°C and the reflux temperature (A) a hydrocarbon-substituted phenol having at least 6 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon substituent, a mixture of said phenol with up to an equivalent amount of a hydrocarbon-substituted succinic acid or anhydride having at least about 6 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon substituent, or a substantially neutral alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt or either of the foregoing, (B) about 1-10 equivalents, per equivalent of (A), of a calcium or strontium base, and (C) carbon dioxide, which improvement comprises carrying out the reaction in the presence of about 0.002-0.2 equivalent, per equivalent of said calcium or strontium base, of a carboxylic acid having up to about 100 carbon atoms or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, zinc or lead salt thereof.
  • the preferred carboxylic acids are those containing up to about 10 carbon atoms, more preferred being monocarboxylic acids containing up to 10 carbon atoms and alkaline earth metal salts thereof.
  • water and a carboxylate salt are employed. Not only do we wish to avoid the presence of water but we also find that carboxylate salts can not be used in the process of the present invention because of their inherent insolubility in the system.
  • the process of US-A-3,372,116 does not employ phenol to alkaline earth metal base ratios sufficient to produce phenates having TBNs in excess of 300.
  • GB-A-1440261 discloses a lubricating oil composition
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising a lubricating oil, a detergent or dispersant additive and a mixture of at least two carboxylic acids, one acid having a melting point of at least 20°C and not more than 30 carbon atoms per molecule, and another acid having a melting point of below 20°C the weight proportion of low melting point acid to high melting point acid being between 1.5:1 and 8:1.
  • the detergent may be an overbased phenate, those having a TBN of 50 to 100 being considered very suitable.
  • the mixture of acids is present in an amount of 0.05 to 2.0 wt %.
  • US-A-4049560 describes the production of an overbased magnesium detergent by a process in which carbon dioxide is introduced into a reaction mixture which comprises:
  • the amount of carboxylic acid (component (e)) is preferably in the range 0.5 to 2.0% by weight.
  • the product prepared by this reaction is said to have a TBN of about 200 to 250, e.g. about 225.
  • EP-A-0094814 discloses an additive concentrate for incorporation in a lubricating oil composition
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising lubricating oil, and from 10 to 90 wt % of an overbased alkaline earth metal hydrocarbyl sulphurised phenate which has been treated, either during or subsequent to the overbasing process, with from 0.1 to 10, preferably 2 to 6, wt % (based on the weight of additive concentrate) of an acid of the formula: (wherein R is a C 10 to C 24 unbranched alkyl or alkenyl group, and R 1 is hydrogen, a C 1 to C 4 alkyl group or a -CH 2 -COOH group) or an anhydride or a salt thereof.
  • the object of the invention of EP-A-0094814 is to overcome problems encountered with many additive concentrates containing overbased additives, namely lack of stability giving rise to sedimentation and foaming problems.
  • the problem of EP-A-0094814 is not that of producing phenate additive concentrates having a TBN of greater than 300 and indeed the phenate additive concentrates produced by the process of the invention, although demonstrating overcoming the problems of stability and foaming, have TBN values of less than 300.
  • Our European Application Publication No. 0095322 discloses a process for the production of either an alkaline earth metal alkyl phenate or a sulphurised alkaline earth metal alkyl phenate which process comprises reacting at elevated temperature, in the presence or absence of sulphur, an alkyl phenol with an alkaline earth metal base in the presence as solvent of either an alkylene glycol alkyl ether or a polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether of formula: R(OR 1 ) x OR 2 wherein R is a C 1 to C 6 alkyl group, R 1 is alkylene, R 2 is hydrogen or C 1 to C 6 alkyl and x is an integer in the range 1 to 6 and as catalyst an inorganic halide.
  • a small amount suitably up to 2% w/w of an acid, a suitable acid being stearic acid.
