Abstract:
A process for inhibiting the deposit of paraffins in crude oils and petroleum fractions incorporating additives of the family of N-substituted succinimide ethers. The additives according to the invention make it possible, on the one hand, to maintain in dispersion the whole range of paraffins improving the flowing properties of crude oils and, on the other, to prevent the deposit of the heavier paraffins on the walls. Therefore, the process is effective during both the storage and the transportation of crude petroleum.
Abstract:
A motor fuel composition which inhibits engine ORI and resists engine and carburetor deposit formation comprises a mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in the range of 90.degree. F.-450.degree. F. and the reaction product of a dibasic acid anhydride, a polyoxyalkylene monoamine, and a hydrocarbyl polyamine.
Abstract:
Alkyl substituted or unsubstituted, bicyclic keto acids may be prepared by cyclizing unsaturated, cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides in the presence of a strong Bronsted acid catalyst. The products may be useful as corrosion inhibitors in alcohol fuels and as intermediates in petroleum, pharmaceutical and additive manufacture.
Abstract:
Poly (C.sub.5 -C.sub.9 lactone) modified Mannich base adducts are made by reacting a C.sub.5 -C.sub.9 lactone, an amine, an aldehyde, and a hydrocarbyl substituted, hydroxy aromatic compound, e.g. a polyisobutenyl phenol which, in turn, preferably is made by reacting a polymer of a C.sub.2 to C.sub.10 monoolefin, preferably polyisobutylene, having a molecular weight of about 700 to 10,000, with a hydroxy aromatic compound. The resulting adducts are useful per se as oil soluble dispersant additives. They are also useful in fuel and lubricating oil compositions, as well as in concentrates and additive packages.
Abstract:
The reaction products of the appropriate triamine and organic monocarboxylic acid demonstrate friction reducing properties when formulated into lubricants, particularly lubricating oils, and fuel consumption reduction properties when formulated into such lubricants or into fuels.
Abstract:
A diesel fuel composition and method for improving the operation and efficiency of a compression ignition or diesel engine is disclosed comprising operating the engine using a fuel comprising a major amount of hydrocarbon fuel boiling in the diesel range and from about 600 to about 10,000 ppm of an additive comprising a polyoxyalkylene amine or polyamine of from about 500 to about 2,500 molecular weight.
Abstract:
A material is described having a use as a motor fuel additive for controlling engine octane requirement increase (ORI), controlling and reducing hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide engine emissions, and having carburetor detergency properties. Said material is the reaction product of maleic anhydride, a polyether polyamine, preferably a polyether diamine, and a hydrocarbyl polyamine, preferably an n-alkyl-alkylene diamine. A concentrate comprising the prescribed reaction product dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent is also described. Motor fuels containing the reaction product additive of the instant invention show improved ORI control and carburetor detergency in comparison with motor fuels without said reaction product additive.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are additives which are useful as dispersants and detergents in lubricating oils and fuels. In particular, this invention is directed toward polyamino alkenyl or alkyl succinimides wherein one or more of the amino nitrogens of the succinimide is substituted with ##STR1## wherein R.sub.4 is hydrocarbyl of from 1 to 30 carbon atoms; R.sub.5 is hydrocarbyl of from 2 to 30 carbon atoms or 13 R.sub.6 --(OR.sub.6).sub.p -- wherein R.sub.6 is alkylene of 2 to 5 carbon atoms and p is an integer from 1 to 100; and m is an integer of from 0 to 1.
