Abstract:
A method of preparing a lubricant detergent additive at a significantly enhanced filtration rate comprising the steps of:(a) mixing a neutral calcium sulfonate with sulfur, diluent oil, (C.sub.5 -C.sub.40) alkylphenol, ethylene glycol, and calcium hydroxide to form a mixture;(b) agitating said mixture at a temperature of about 150.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C. for a period of about four hours;(c) bubbling CO.sub.2 into said agitated mixture to provide an intermediate product; and(d) filtering said intermediate product at a rate of about 50 ml per 3 to 6 minutes to provide the lubricant detergent additive.
Abstract:
A lubricant concentrate is provided for forming stable, translucent oil-in-water emulsions upon dilution with a major part of water. The concentrate comprises a suitable base oil blended with polyisobutylene and an emulsifier/dispersant and antiwear/antirust inhibitor system. Typical emulsifier/dispersants include the metal soaps of rosin acids, the alkylene oxide condensation products of a fatty amine or the reaction product thereof with a polyalkenylsuccinic acid or anhydride. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates and metal dialkylnaphthalene sulfonates are useful antiwear and antirust inhibitors.
Abstract:
A method of preparing superbased magnesium sulfonates by dispersing MgO in the preformed low viscosity overbased magnesium sulfonates. The low viscosity overbased magnesium sulfonates is prepared by sulfonating an alkyl benzene with a material containing SO.sub.3, preferably oleum, and reacting the alkyl benzene sulfonate with magnesium oxide in the presence of a low viscosity diluent, such as No. 2 oil or LOPS (low odor paraffin solvent), together with water, alcohol, and CO.sub.2. The newness of the method lies in the steps of preferably positively utilizing oleum which contains a minor amount of sulfuric acid as a promoter and utilizing also a surfactant couple of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty acid such as oleic acid and an ethanol amide such as a lauryl diethanol amide, which may be Witcamide 5138; where a ready made sulfonate is used, such as SA697 (Conoco), H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is utilized. In certain instances the amide may be omitted with satisfactory results occurring by using the acid alone.Of particular interest is the preparation of a concentrated magnesium sulfonate wherein the water and alcohol are removed by distillation and a diluent such as LOPS or No. 2 oil is added to produce a slurry.An important feature of this process lies in the reduction in size of the magnesium oxide particles. CO.sub.2 is preferentially bubbled through the mixture after introduction of the magnesium oxide and at a temperature range of 30.degree.-80.degree. C. with stirring. A typical zone of particle size is 40-50% of about 200 A and 50-60% of 0.1-1.0 microns. This is quite advantageous where an emulsion is formulated and the percentage of magnesium is in the area of 14-23% and preferably 20% or over.
Abstract:
Fuel economy of internal combustion engines, especially gasoline engines, is improved by lubricating such engines with specific lubricant compositions in which the essential ingredients are a specific sulfurized composition and a basic alkali metal sulfonate. Additional ingredients may include at least one oil-dispersible detergent or dispersant, a viscosity improving agent, and a specific salt of a phosphorus acid.

Abstract:
Synthetic lubricants comprising 15 to 45 weight percent of an ester of a hindered polyhydric alcohol having 3 to 8 hydroxy groups and 5 to 10 carbon atoms with one or more alkanoic acids having 4 to 18 carbon atoms blended with 85 to 55 weight percent of one or more polyether polyol having an number average molecular weight from about 400 to 5000. The blends are compounded with antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and metal deactivators to produce a superior lubricant for rotary screw compressors that has a long life.

Solutions of overbased manganese salts of organic acids that contain at least 13% by weight of manganese are prepared by carbonating a reaction mixture that contains excess manganous oxide, an oil-soluble organic acid, a solvent system, a promoter, a copromoter, and a third promoter that is an alkanoic acid having 1 to 3 carbon atoms at 70.degree.-120.degree. C. at a pressure of 1 atmosphere to 10 atmospheres.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a lubricating oil additive which comprises contacting under reaction conditions an amino acid and a basically reacting metal compound. The reaction conditions include the presence of a suspending agent for the basically reacting metal compound and the presence of a hydroxylic promoter. Low-ash, high-alkalinity-value lubricating oil additives are obtainable from the process.
Abstract:
Mineral oil or synthetic hydrocarbon base hydraulic fluids containing a zinc bis(dialkyldithiophosphate) as an antiwear agent are stabilized against degradation at elevated operating temperatures by the incorporation in the hydraulic fluid of an appropriate Group I or Group II metal dialkylnaphthalene sulfonate. For example, a hydraulic fluid containing a zinc bis(dialkyldithiophosphate) is stabilized by the presence of a minor amount of zinc dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate.
