Abstract:
A turbine lubricant having outstanding oxidation stability, corrosion resistance and good viscosity stability is based on an alkyl phenyl phosphate ester and contains small amounts of benzotriazole, a mixed mono- and dialkylphosphate of the formula RH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 and R.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, wherein R is an alkyl group of 8-12 carbon atoms, and an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of:(a) a C.sub.12 to C.sub.18 alcohol ester of 3,3'-thiodipropionic acid;(b) pentaerythritol tetra(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, and(c) 4,4'-thiobis-(3-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol).
Abstract:
Tributoxyethylphosphate is useful in controlling foam produced during the evaporative crystallization of calcined trona solutions. The chemical is effective at low concentrations, i.e. 1 to 30 ppm, and does not significantly alter the crystal habit of the sodium carbonate crystals.
