Abstract:
This invention relates to novel overbased and neutral oil soluble metal dialkaryl hydrocarbon sulfonate compositions possessing low viscosity and outstanding rust inhibiting as well as water demulsification properties. Also, this invention relates to oil soluble metal dialkaryl sulfonate compounds in which the alkyl substituents contain from eight to 18 carbon atoms and are bonded to the aryl nucleus through a secondary carbon atom. In one aspect, the present invention concerns metal dialkaryl sulfonate compositions containing at least 20 weight percent metal dialkaryl sulfonate compounds in which the alkyl substituents are straight chain and contain from about eight to about 18 carbsn atoms, the aryl moiety being selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene and mixtures thereof. In another aspect, the present invention concerns oil soluble metal sulfonate compositions containing metal dialkaryl sulfonate compounds in which one of the alkyl substituents is a straight chain group and the other is a branched chain group, the aryl moiety being selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, and mixtures thereof. In still another aspect, this invention concerns oil soluble metal hydrocarbon sulfonate compositions containing a major amount of metal dialkaryl sulfonate compounds in which the alkyl substituents are straight chain and contain from about eight to about 18 carbon atoms, the aryl moiety being selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene and xylene, and a minor amount of tetrahydronaphthalene sulfonate compounds, said conpositions being derived from hydrocarbon compositions prepared by the disproportionation of mono-n-alkaryl compounds using aluminum chloride and/or aluminum bromide as the catalyst.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ANIONIC METAL SULFONATES IS DISCLOSED WHEEIN AN ANIONIC METAL OXIDE OR HYDROXIDE IS REACTED WITH A HIGH BOILING ALCOHOL TO FORM THE CORRESPONDING ALKOXIDE. THE ALKOXIDE SO FORMED IS THEN REACTED WITH AN OIL-SOLUBLE SULFONIC ACID TO FORM THE DESIRED ANIONIC METAL SULFONATE. THE REACTIONS FOR THE FORMATIONS OF THE SULFONATE COMPOUND ARE CARRIED OUT IN THE PRESENCE OF A NONVOLATILE CARRIER COMPOUND.
Abstract:
Method of preparing highly basic, metal containing grease and rust inhibiting compositions which is carried out by (1) forming an admixture of an oil-soluble dispersing agent, an alcohol, water, and an alkaline earth metal oxide, hydroxide or lower alkoxide; (2) carbonating the admixture to form the alkaline earth metal carbonate; and (3) heating the mixture in a controlled manner to effect a modification reaction in which the grease or rust inhibiting composition is formed as evidenced by a rapid change in the viscosity of the mixture. In an alternative embodiment of the method the water is added after the carbonation step and prior to the heating step.
Abstract:
An overbased dispersion useful as a lubricating oil additive is prepared by adding a metal alkoxide-carbonate complex to an alcohol or alcohol-aromatic solution of a metal free, oil soluble, neutral or basic dispersing agent containing an acylated nitrogen atom. The dispersing agent is preferably an amide, imide or ester derived from the reaction of a high molecular weight alkenyl carboxylic acid or acid anhydride with an organic nitrogen-containing compound having at least one amino group or hydroxyl group. Concurrently with, or following, addition of the alkoxide-carbonate complex, the complex is hydrolyzed to yield a dispersion of fine particles of metal carbonate. The solvents are then stripped from the dispersion to form a bright, clear composition having a base number of from about 50 to about 250 and useful as an ashless detergent-dispersant additive to lubricating oils.
Abstract:
A COMBINED PROCESS FOR SULFURIZING AND OVERBASING OF ALKYLPHENOLS IS DISCLOSED. BRIEFLY, THE PROCESS COMPRISES THE STEPS OF: (A) FORMING AN ADMIXING OF ALKYLPHENOL, VOLATILE PROCESS SOLENT, AND WATER, (B) ADDING TO THE ADMIXTURE OF STEP (A) THE AMOUNT OF MAGNESIUM AND/OR CALCIUM ALKOXY ALKOXIDE-CARBONATE COMPLEX REQUIRED FOR OVERBASING, (C) ADDING TO THE ADMIXTURE OF STEP (B) THE AMOUNT OF MAGNESIUM AND/OR CALCIUM ALKOXY ALKOXIDE-CARBONATE COMPLEX REQIURED FOR NEUTRALIZATION, AND (D) REMOVING THE VOLATILE MATERIALS BY HEATING, SAID PROCESS BEING CHARACTERIZED FURTHER IN THAT THE AMOUNT OF SULFUR REQUIRED FOR SULFURIZATION OF THE ALKYLPHENOL IS ADDED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO STEP (D). THE PRODUCTS ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL AS ADDITIVE AGENTS FOR LUBRICATING OILS.
Abstract:
A process for preparing neutral and highly basic magnesium alkylphenates or sulfurized alkylphenates wherein the process comprises: A. FORMING AN ADMIXTURE OF ALKYLPHENOL OR SULFURIZED ALKYLPHENOL, NONVOLATILE DILUENT OIL, AND A VOLATILE PROCESS SOLVENT; B. ADDING A STOICHIOMETRIC NEUTRALIZING AMOUNT OF A CARBONATED MAGNESIUM ALCOHOLATE AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 30*C to about 60*C; c. heating the mixture to a reflux temperature of from about 65*C to about 90*C, and maintaining the mixture at this reflux temperature for a period of from about 20 minutes to about 1 1/2 hours; then D. REMOVING THE VOLATILE MATERIALS BY HEATING. If a highly basic (overbased) product is to be prepared, the same steps are followed as in the production of the neutral phenate, except that after neutralization, and prior to removing the volatile materials from the mixture, carbonated magnesium alcoholate and water are added concurrently to the mixture.
