Definitions
- the present invention is related to fuels, especially hydrocarbon fuels, and lubricants, especially lubricating oils, and, more particularly, to a class of anti-corrosion additives that are derived from epoxidized esters for such fuels and lubricants.
- Engine bearings are particularly prone to corrosion, especially copper-lead bearings. It is important to protect these bearings from corrosion, as bearing corrosion can lead to wear, increased friction, lost fuel economy, and, ultimately, catastrophic engine failure. Lead that is leached from the bearings by corrosion contaminates the oil and poses additional environmental problems from particulate emissions and toxic waste pollution. It is important to limit the particulate matter and pollution formed during engine use for toxicological and environmental reasons, but it is also important to maintain undiminished the anti-wear properties of the lubricating oil.
- a number of additives are known, such as 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and benzotriazoles, that can be added to an oil formulation in order to provide anti-corrosion protection to copper. Very little can be done, however, to protect against materials that are corrosive to lead. Only a limited number of additives are known that reduce lead corrosion.
- Known lead anti-corrosion additives include 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and derivatives thereof, terephthalic acid, and dithiophosphoric acid derivatives.
- the known lead anti-corrosion additives are not satisfactory. Many of these additives are expensive, being prepared by multi-step processes from costly starting materials. Some have limited solubility in oils, and may react with basic detergent/dispersant components. Others contain phosphorus, which is undesirable in its own right, as phosphorus is suspected of limiting the service life of the catalytic converters that are used on cars to reduce pollution.
- Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates have been used in formulated oils as anti-wear additives for more than 50 years.
- zinc dialkyldithiophosphates give rise to ash, which contributes to particulate matter in automotive exhaust emissions, and regulatory agencies are seeking to reduce emissions of zinc into the environment. Therefore, it is desirable to promote the use of alternative phosphorus-free anti-wear additives.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,783,202 discloses reacting a low molecular weight epoxide with a solution of bis(sulfurized oleyl) dithiophosphoric acid to produce an additive that inhibits corrosion of copper-lead and cadmium-silver bearings.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,991,251 discloses the use of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole or salicylic acid, combinations thereof, or salicylic acid/butylamine as anti-corrosive agents for lead in copper lead bearings lubricated with fatty acid partial esters of aliphatic polyhydric alcohols, e.g., sorbitan mono-oleate.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,223,636 discloses inhibitors which are obtained by incomplete reaction of 1-4 moles of an alcohol. such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, or iso-propanol with one mole of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of 6-12 C atoms such as adipic, azelaic, or sebacic.
- the inhibitor reduces lead loss from lead bearings in aircraft engines lubricated with synthetic ester lubricants.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,413,227 discloses 5-substituted benzotriazoles as corrosion inhibitors for lubricants.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,597,353 discloses 4,5,6,7 tetrahydro-benzotriazoles as corrosion inhibitors for lubricants.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,625,894 discloses an anticorrosive for lubricants consisting of an alkaline earth metal sulfonate, and/or an oil-soluble alkaline earth metal salt of a fatty acid having from 10 to 36 carbon atoms, and/or an oil-soluble alkaline earth metal salt of an alkyl-sulfamido-carboxylic acid, and benzotriazole.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,966,623 discloses a lubricating oil composition containing a synergistic corrosion inhibiting combination of 2,5-bis-hydrocarbyldithio-1,3,4-thiadiazole and a primary alkyl or alkenyl amine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,153,565 discloses lubricant compositions containing oleaginous materials and, in amounts sufficient to impart oxidation protection, corrosion resistance and antiwear properties thereto, an adduct of a benzotriazole compound and alkyl vinyl ether or a vinyl ester of a carboxylic acid.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,193,882 discloses lubricant compositions containing, in an amount sufficient to inhibit metal corrosion, the reaction product of oleic acid and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,382,869 discloses that dimercaptothiadiazole adducts of hydroxyl-containing unsaturated compounds and their borated analogues provide effective multifunctional friction reducing and corrosion inhibiting properties to various lubricating fluids when incorporated therein.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,410,436 discloses lubricating compositions containing copper and lead corrosion inhibitors and boron and/or metal-boron derivatives having extreme pressure, anti-wear and friction reducing properties.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,427,560 discloses lubricating compositions containing an oxidation inhibitor, copper and lead corrosion inhibitors and boron and/or metal-boron derivatives having extreme pressure, anti-wear and friction reducing properties.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,501,677 discloses a lubricating oil composition with improved corrosion inhibiting properties comprising a major amount of a lubricating oil basestock and an effective amount of a complex of a selected heterocyclic nitrogen compound and an organometallic salt of a C 4 to C 22 fatty acid.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,785 discloses a process for minimizing corrosion of metals in contact with aqueous acid solutions wherein said process comprises adding to the aqueous acid solution a corrosion inhibiting amount of a dialkylaminomethyl aromatic triazole having the structure: wherein R 1 is from 1 to 4 substituents and is hydrogen, aliphatic of 1 to about 12 carbons, alkoxy of 2 to about 10 carbons, aroxy of 2 to about 10 carbons, or —COOR 4 wherein R 4 is aliphatic of 1 to about 12 carbons; and R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and are alkyl of 1 to about 4 carbons.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,618,539 discloses corrosion-inhibiting compositions which comprise a mixture of (A) at least one oil-soluble neutral or basic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt or complex of at least one organic acid, and (B) a nitrogen- and boron-containing composition which is the reaction product of at least one amino alcohol, at least one of a boric acid or boron trioxide, and at least one organic carboxylic acid.
- Such compositions are said to exhibit improved corrosion-inhibiting properties, especially when included in preservative oil applications.
- the composition may also contain a mixture of calcium and barium salts of one or more organic sulfonic acids.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,705,642 discloses a haze, oxidation, and corrosion resistant diesel engine lubricant composition, said to be particularly useful in marine and railway diesel engines, that contains 0.1-5.0 weight percent of a reaction product additive.
- the reaction product additive is produced by first reacting substantially equimolar amounts of an anhydride compound which is either a dibasic acid anhydride or isatoic anhydride and a hydrocarbon-substituted mono primary amine or ether amine at a temperature range of 50° C.-150° C. to produce an intermediate reaction product.

- I claim the benefit under Title 35, United States Code, § 120 of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/623,036, filed Oct. 29, 2004, entitled EPOXIDIZED ESTER ADDITIVES FOR REDUCING LEAD CORROSION IN LUBRICANTS AND FUELS.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is related to fuels, especially hydrocarbon fuels, and lubricants, especially lubricating oils, and, more particularly, to a class of anti-corrosion additives that are derived from epoxidized esters for such fuels and lubricants.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In developing lubricating oils, there have been many attempts to provide additives that protect metal engine parts from corrosion. Metal corrosion may variously result from the corrosivity of the lubricant itself or, more frequently, from corrosive additives that are added to the lubricant formulation to impart other desired properties, such as anti-wear and extreme pressure protection. Corrosion may also be due to contaminants, such as water and combustion by-products, that are normally present in the engine.
- Engine bearings are particularly prone to corrosion, especially copper-lead bearings. It is important to protect these bearings from corrosion, as bearing corrosion can lead to wear, increased friction, lost fuel economy, and, ultimately, catastrophic engine failure. Lead that is leached from the bearings by corrosion contaminates the oil and poses additional environmental problems from particulate emissions and toxic waste pollution. It is important to limit the particulate matter and pollution formed during engine use for toxicological and environmental reasons, but it is also important to maintain undiminished the anti-wear properties of the lubricating oil.
- A number of additives are known, such as 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and benzotriazoles, that can be added to an oil formulation in order to provide anti-corrosion protection to copper. Very little can be done, however, to protect against materials that are corrosive to lead. Only a limited number of additives are known that reduce lead corrosion.
- Known lead anti-corrosion additives include 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and derivatives thereof, terephthalic acid, and dithiophosphoric acid derivatives. The known lead anti-corrosion additives are not satisfactory. Many of these additives are expensive, being prepared by multi-step processes from costly starting materials. Some have limited solubility in oils, and may react with basic detergent/dispersant components. Others contain phosphorus, which is undesirable in its own right, as phosphorus is suspected of limiting the service life of the catalytic converters that are used on cars to reduce pollution.
- Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) have been used in formulated oils as anti-wear additives for more than 50 years. However, zinc dialkyldithiophosphates give rise to ash, which contributes to particulate matter in automotive exhaust emissions, and regulatory agencies are seeking to reduce emissions of zinc into the environment. Therefore, it is desirable to promote the use of alternative phosphorus-free anti-wear additives.

Dissolution of the additive concentrate into the lubricating oil can be facilitated by solvents and by mixing accompanied by mild heating, but this is not essential. The concentrate or additive-package will typically be formulated to contain the additives in proper amounts to provide the desired concentration in the final formulation when the additive-package is combined with a predetermined amount of base lubricant. Thus, the subject additives of the present invention can be added to small amounts of base oil or other compatible solvents along with other desirable additives to form additive-packages containing active ingredients in collective amounts of, typically, from about 2.5 to about 90 percent, preferably from about 15 to about 75 percent, and more preferably from about 25 percent to about 60 percent by weight additives in the appropriate proportions with the remainder being base oil. The final formulations can typically employ about 1 to 20 weight percent of the additive-package with the remainder being base oil.
- All of the weight percentages expressed herein (unless otherwise indicated) are based on the active ingredient (AI) content of the additive, and/or upon the total weight of any additive-package, or formulation, which will be the sum of the AI weight of each additive plus the weight of total oil or diluent.
- The epoxidized ester is present in the compositions of the present invention in a concentration in the range of from about 0.01 to about 10 weight percent. In general, the lubricant compositions of the invention contain the additives in a concentration ranging from about 0.05 to about 30 weight percent. A concentration range for the additives ranging from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the oil composition is preferred. A more preferred concentration range is from about 0.2 to about 5 weight percent. Oil concentrates of the additives can contain from about 1 to about 75 weight percent of the additive reaction product in a carrier or diluent oil of lubricating oil viscosity.
- In general, the additives of the present invention are useful in a variety of lubricating oil base stocks. The lubricating oil base stock is any natural or synthetic lubricating oil base stock fraction having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of about 2 to about 200 cSt, more preferably about 3 to about 150 cSt, and most preferably about 3 to about 100 cSt. The lubricating oil base stock can be derived from natural lubricating oils, synthetic lubricating oils, or mixtures thereof. Suitable lubricating oil base stocks include base stocks obtained by isomerization of synthetic wax and wax, as well as hydrocracked base stocks produced by hydrocracking (rather than solvent extracting) the aromatic and polar components of the crude. Natural lubricating oils include animal oils, such as lard oil, vegetable oils (e.g., canola oils, castor oils, sunflower oils), petroleum oils, mineral oils, and oils derived from coal or shale.
- Synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils, such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins, gas-to-liquids prepared by Fischer-Tropsch technology, alkylbenzenes, polyphenyls, alkylated diphenyl ethers, alkylated diphenyl sulfides, as well as their derivatives, analogs, homologs, and the like. Synthetic lubricating oils also include alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers, copolymers, and derivatives thereof, wherein the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, and the like.
- Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids with a variety of alcohols. Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C5 to C12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers. Other esters useful as synthetic oils include those made from copolymers of α-olefins and dicarboxylic acids which are esterified with short or medium chain length alcohols. The following are exemplary of such additives and are commercially available from Akzo Nobel Chemicals SpA: Ketjenlubes 115, 135, 165, 1300, 2300, 2700, 305, 445, 502, 522, and 6300, among others.
- Silicon-based oils, such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils, comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricating oils. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids, polymeric tetrahydrofurans, poly α-olefins, and the like.
- The lubricating oil may be derived from unrefined, refined, re-refined oils, or mixtures thereof. Unrefined oils are obtained directly from a natural source or synthetic source (e.g., coal, shale, or tar and bitumen) without further purification or treatment. Examples of unrefined oils include a shale oil obtained directly from a retorting operation, a petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation, or an ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process, each of which is then used without further treatment. Refined oils are similar to unrefined oils, except that refined oils have been treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Suitable purification techniques include distillation, hydrotreating, dewaxing, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration, percolation, and the like, all of which are well-known to those skilled in the art. Re-refined oils are obtained by treating refined oils in processes similar to those used to obtain the refined oils. These re-refined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and often are additionally processed by techniques for removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products.
- Lubricating oil base stocks derived from the hydroisomerization of wax may also be used, either alone or in combination with the aforesaid natural and/or synthetic base stocks. Such wax isomerate oil is produced by the hydroisomerization of natural or synthetic waxes or mixtures thereof over a hydroisomerization catalyst. Natural waxes are typically the slack waxes recovered by the solvent dewaxing of mineral oils; synthetic waxes are typically the wax produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process. The resulting isomerate product is typically subjected to solvent dewaxing and fractionation to recover various fractions having a specific viscosity range. Wax isomerate is also characterized by possessing very high viscosity indices, generally having a VI of at least 130, preferably at least 135 or higher and, following dewaxing, a pour point of about −20° C. or lower.
- The additives of the present invention are especially useful as components in many different lubricating oil compositions. The additives can be included in a variety of oils with lubricating viscosity, including natural and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. The additives can be included in crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines. The compositions can also be used in gas engine lubricants, turbine lubricants, automatic transmission fluids, gear lubricants, compressor lubricants, metal-working lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and other lubricating oil and grease compositions. The additives can also be used in motor fuel compositions.
- The advantages and the important features of the present invention will be more apparent from the following examples.
- Pb & Cu Corrosion Testing
- The results of a Cummins bench test for measuring the degree of Cu and Pb corrosion of an oil formulation using an American Petroleum Institute (API) Group II base stock are shown in Table 1. The Cummins bench test is part of the API CH-4 category for diesel engine oils. Four metal coupons (25.4 mm squares) of pure lead, copper, tin, and phosphor-bronze are immersed in 100 mL of oil at 121° C. with air bubbling through (5 L/hr) for 168 hours. The used oil is analyzed for metals and the copper sample is examined for discoloration. The limits for API CH-4 are 20 ppm Cu, 120 ppm Pb, 50 ppm Sn in used oil and 3 max for the ASTM D 130 rating of the copper square. Additives were blended into a fully formulated SAE 15W-40 oil with API CI-4 and CH-4 credentials.
- In the first row of Table 1 are data generated on the SAE 15W-40 oil without any top treat of other additives. In the next row is seen the increase in lead corrosion that results from adding 1 wt % of glycerol monooleate friction modifier. The data in the third row illustrate the reduction in lead corrosion that is achieved with the addition of the epoxidized 2-ethyl hexyl tallate anti-corrosion additive of the present invention.
