Abstract:
PROCESSES FOR PREPARING BASIC MAGNESIUM SALTS OF OIL SOLUBLE ORGANIC ACIDS BY CONTACTING AN INORGANIC ACIDIC MATERIAL WITH A MIXTURE OF THE ACIDS, OR THEIR ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH METAL SALTS, MAGNESIUM OXIDE, AND WATER OR ALCOHOL-WATER PROMOTER SYSTEM. CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN EXEMPLARY ACIDIC MATERIAL. LOWER ALKANOLS PARTICULARLY METHANOL, ARE USEFUL CO-PROMOTERS FOR USE WITH THE WATER. MIXTURES OF OIL-SOLUBLE SULFONIC ACIDS AND OIL-SOLUBLE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS, OR THEIR ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH METAL SALTS, ARE USEFUL STARTING MATERIALS FOR PREPARING BASIC MAGNESIUM SALTS. WITH ALCOHOL-WATER CO-PROMOTERS, THE INORGANIC ACIDIC MATERIAL IS CONTACTED WITH THE REACTION MIXTURE IN TWO STAGES, FIRST IN THE PRESENCE OF BOTH PROMOTERS AND THEN IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER ONLY. THE PRODUCTS ARE USEFUL AS ADDITIVES IN LUBRICANTS AND FUELS AND AS INTERMEDIATES IN PREPARING OTHER USEFUL PRODUCTS.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition, comprising: a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (A) an amount of at least one alkali metal overbased salt of an acidic organic compound sufficient to provide at least about 0.005 equivalents of alkali metal per 100 grams of the lubricating composition; (B) at least about 1.13 % by weight of at least one dispersant; (C) at least one metal dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate; and (D) at least one antioxidant, provided that the lubricating oil composition is free of calcium overbased sulfonate; provided that the composition contains less than about 0.08 % by weight calcium; and provided that (C) and (D) are not the same.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for lubricating two-stroke cycle engines by supplying a lubricant containing a hydroxyaromatic carboxyl compound without substantially containing a divalent metal to the engine. SOLUTION: This method for lubricating two-stroke cycle engines comprises supplying a mixture comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity and (b) a hydrocarbyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic carboxylic acid or an ester, unsubstituted amide, hydrocarbyl-substituted amide, ammonium salt, hydrocarbylamine salt or monovalent metal salt thereof in an amount suitable to reduce piston deposites in the engine to the engine. The mixture supplied to the engine contains

Abstract:
Overbased calcium salts, low in chloride content, are prepared using as a promoter a mixture of an alcohol and an inorganic calcium salt other than chloride which is soluble in the alcohol mixture.
Abstract:
A diesel lubricant exhibiting improved ability to minimize undesirable viscosity increases when used in diesel engines is described. More particularly, in accordance with the present invention, a diesel lubricant is described which comprises a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount, sufficient to minimize undesirable viscosity increases of the lubricant when used in diesel engines, of a composition comprising (A) at least one carboxylic derivative composition produced by reacting at least one substituted succinic acylating agent with at least one amino compound containing at least one -NH- group wherein said acylating agent consists of substituent groups and succinic groups wherein the substituent groups are derived from polyalkene characterized by an Mn value of at least about 1200 and an Mw/Mn ratio of at least about 1.5, and wherein said acylating agents are characterized by the presence within their structure of an average of at least about 1.3 succinic groups for each equivalent weight of substituent groups, and (B) at least one basic alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of at least one acidic organic compound having a metal ratio of at least about 2. The composition should have a TBN in the range of about 6 to about 15, with the sucinnic acid derivative contributing about 0.5 to 1.5 TBN to the composition. The alkali or alkaline earth metal salts (detergents) should contribute the rest of the TBN of the composition. TBN is measured by the ASTM D2896 method. Magnesium should contribute less than about 30% of the total TBN of the composition. The invention also includes methods for operating diesel engines which comprises lubricating said engines during operation with the diesel lubricants of the invention.
