Abstract:
A premium synthetic lubricant having antiwear properties comprises a synthetic isoparaffinic hydrocarbon base stock and an effective amount of at least one antiwear additive. The antiwear additive is preferably at least one of a metal phosphate, a metal dialkyldithiophosphate, a metal dithiophosphate, a metal thiocarbamate, a metal dithiocarbamate, an ethoxylated amine dialkyldithiophosphate and an ethoxylated amine dithiobenzoate. Metal dialkyldithiophosphates are preferred, particularly zincdialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). The base stock is derived from a waxy, Fischer-Tropsch synthesized hydrocarbon feed fraction comprising hydrocarbons having an initial boiling point in the range of about 650-750 DEG F, by a process which comprises hydroisomerizing the feed and dewaxing the isomerate. The lubricant may also contain hydrocarbonaceous and synthetic base stock material in admixture with the Fischer-Tropsch derived base stock.

Abstract:
A process for making a synthesis gas comprising H2 and CO in the presence of a reforming catalyst comprising a supported non-noble Group VIII metal catalytic component from a feed including a low molecular weight alkane, and preferably methane as in natural gas, O2 H2O and CO2 without catalyst deactivation is achieved by partially oxidizing and steam reforming the feed in the presence of the catalyst. The feed H2O to hydrocarbon carbon mole ratio is less than 2. The mole ratio of the combined feed CO2 and H2O to hydrocarbon carbon ranges from 0.5 - 2.5 and that of the feed H2O to CO2 ranges from 0.35 - 6. Synthesis gas having H2 to CO mole ratios less than 2:1 and even less than 1.5:1 are easily achieved with net CO2 consumption, which also makes the process environmentally beneficial.
