Description
ADDITIVES FOR LUBRICANTS AND FUNCTIONAL
FLUIDS WHICH EXHIBIT IMPROVED
PERFORMANCE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING SAME
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a sulfur-based additive exhibiting improved performance for use in lubricants and functional fluids. More specifically, labile-sulfur free additives for lubricants and functional fluids are obtained by treatment with copper, or copper and another material reactive with labile-sulfur or with alpha-olefins in order to substantially eliminate the detrimental metal corrosivity and the d-etrimental degradation of elastomer materials which are exhibited by labile-sulfur containing additives.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Sulfur-based additives have been widely used in various lubricants, e.g., crankcase lubricating oils, gear lubricants, metal-working lubricants and the like, and in various functional fluids, e.g., hydraulic fluids, automatic transmission fluids, heat transfer fluids and the like. The most common of such sulfur-based additives are phenolsulfides, disulfides, polysulfides, salts thereof, overbased salts thereof, and mixtures thereof. These additives function as oxidation inhibitors, antiwear
additives and load carrying additives for these different categories of fluids.
While these sulfur-based additives have been found to be quite effective for the above-mentioned functions, they have generally been found to be corrosive to metals such as copper and copper alloys which are widely used as bearings and bearing liners and have been found to cause the degradation of elastomer materials which are used as seals or sealant devices.
To overcome this problem, various co-additives such as aryltriazoles and various thiadiazoles have been included with these sulfur-based additives in lubricants and functional fluids. However, aside from their expense, these co-additives create further complications in lubricant formulation, e.g., additional solubilizers may be required as well as additional blending steps are necessary.
In U.S. Patent 4,309,293, it is disclosed that phenolsulfides, disulfides or polysulfides, oligomers thereof or mixtures of same when treated with alkylvinyl ethers reduce metal corrosivity when incorporated into lubricants and like fluids. The alkylvinyl ethers of this patent are reactive with the phenolic hydroxyl groups which are generally treated in successive steps where the reaction product is not removed from the additive. This particular treatment or process has the problem, aside from the expense of alkylvinyl ethers, of not eliminating corrosive labile-sulfur contained in these types of additives and. in addition, they require special handling because of their high volatility.
While a number of approaches have been attempted to solve the corrosion problem associated with sulfur-based additives for lubricants and functional fluids, the prior art has not disclosed any which are entirely successful or are not without other problems, e.g., creating formulation problems, inhibiting the desired effects of these additives, and the like.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a highly effective and a relatively economic method for eliminating the metal corrosion and elastomer degradation problem associated with sulfur-based additives for lubricants and functional fluids has been discovered.
Further in accordance with the present invention, it has been found that treating sulfur-based additives, particularly phenolsulfides, disulfides, polysulfides, salts thereof, overbased salts thereof, and mixtures thereof with copper metal, copper salts or copper metal or salts and an optional additional reactive material, an essentially labile-sulfur free additive is obtained which will not corrode metals, particularly copper or copper-alloys, and will not degrade elastomer sealant materials.
Still further in accordance with the present invention, it has been found that treating sulfur-based additives with olefins, particularly alpha-olefins, and an essentially labile-sulfur free additive for lubricants and functional fluids may be obtained which will not corrode metals, particularly copper and copper-alloys, and will not degrade elastomer sealant materials.
Still further in accordance with the present invention, labile-sulfur free additives exhibiting improved performance, labile-sulfur free additive concentrates, lubricant and functional fluid compositions containing such additives and a method for lubricating copper and copper-alloy bearings by applying lubricant and functional fluid compositions containing such additives thereto are contemplated and within the scope of the present invention.
These and other aspects of the invention will become clear to those skilled in the art upon the reading and understanding of the specification.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS It has surprisingly been discovered that an additive, free of labile-sulfur useful in lubricants and functional fluids may be obtained by a highly effective and relatively economic method. This method gives a labile-sulfur free additive for lubricants and functional fluids which does not corrode metals, or only to a minor, insignificant extent and will not degrade elastomer materials or only to a minor, insignificant extent.
The method of the present invention involves contacting sulfur-based additives for lubricants and functional fluids with copper or copper and another material reactive with labile-sulfur at an elevated temperature followed by filtering off copper sulfide and other particulate from the thus treated additive to give an essentially labile-sulfur free additive. In another embodiment of the present invention, a sulfur-based additive is contacted with an olefin, preferably an alpha-olefin, at an elevated temperature to produce an essentially labile-sulfur free additive for lubricants and functional fluids. By this method, to be further described in detail, essentially all labile-sulfur is removed from these additives where the resulting treated additive contains at most about 0.4% by weight of labile-sulfur. Employining thus treated additives in lubricants and functional fluids substantially eliminates the problem of metal corrosion and elastomer degradation previously exhibited by sulfur-based additives. Moreover, the method of the present invention does not have some of the other inherent problems associated with previous approaches to overcome the metal corrosion and elastomer degradation problem such as various formulating problems, inhibition of the properties of these additives and the like.
It was found in accordance with the present invention that sulfur-based additives may be treated with copper or copper and another labile-sulfur reactive material. As
used herein, copper includes metallic copper as well as copper salts. The physical- form of metallic copper used in the method of the invention is not particularly critical and may include turnings, granules and powder. For the purposes of the present invention, copper powder has been found to be particularly useful. Copper salts that may be useful within the scope of the present invention there may be mentioned oxides, oleates and halides. preferably chlorides. The amount of copper used to treat various sulfur-based additives should be sufficient to essentially remove all labile-sulfur contained by the additive. More specifically, the amount of copper generally utilized in the method of the present invention ranges from about 5% by weight based on the additive to about 0.01% by weight and preferably in the range of about 1.0% to about 0.1% by weight of the additive.
As other reactive materials that may be used in combination with copper to treat various sulfur-based additives there may be mentioned unsaturated natural.oils including vegetable and animal oils such as soybean oil, lard and the like; various olefins, particularly alpha-olefins which preferably have 4 to 30 carbon atoms and most preferably 10 to 20 carbon atoms; the Diels-Alder reaction products of butadiene and esters of acrylic acid, preferably butylacrylate; organic phosphites such as triphenol phosphite; basic metal salts such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and the like; and various amines, including primary and secondary amines. The amount of these other reactive materials used with copper in the method of the present invention is not particularly critical wherein the amount of labile-sulfur present in the particular additive to be treated and economics will be determinative of the actual amount used. The amount used within the practice of the present invention may range from about 1 part of other reactive
- ό -
material to about 10 parts copper to 10 parts other reactive material to about 1 part copper.
As previously mentioned, another embodiment of the present invention involves contacting sulfur-based additives with an olefin, particularly alpha-olefins preferably having 4 to about 30 carbon atoms and most preferably 10 to about 20 carbon atoms. The amount of olefin used to treat various sulfur-based additives is not particularly critical to the invention and should be sufficient to remove essentially all labile-sulfur from the particular sulfur-based additive. It has been found that this amount is preferably in the range of about 10% to about 0.1% by weight of the additive and most preferably in the range of about 5% to about 1% by weight based on the additive.
The method of the present invention is generally conducted at atmospheric pressure, however, higher pressures may be utilized, particularly if the treating agent is an olefin. The contacting of the sulfur-based additives with the treating agents of the present invention is conducted at temperatures sufficient to react essentially all the labile-sulfur present in the particular additive which is usually at an elevated temperature, preferably in the temperature range of from about 100°C to about 250°C and most preferably from about 130°C to about 160βC. However, it is pointed out that the temperature range may vary widely depending upon the particular treating agent and/or the presence of a catalyst.
The additives that may be treated according to the method of the present invention include any sulfur-based additive which is used in lubricants and functional fluids. The most common of such additives are phenolsulfides, disulfides, polysulfides, salts thereof and overbased salts thereof. These "sulfurized" phenols include alkyl and dialkyl phenols wherein the alkyl group may range from about 6 to about 100 carbon atoms. Many of
these sulfurized phenols are commercially available or may be prepared by initially reacting a phenol or alkylphenol with a sulfur monohalide (e.g., sulfurmonochloride) . This reaction may be conducted in the presence of excess base to result in the salts of the mixture of sulfides, disulfides or polysulfides that may be produced depending upon the reaction conditions. It is the resulting product of this reaction which is then treated in accordance with the method of the present invention. However, the overbased salts may be prepared after the treatment in accordance with the present invention. U.S. Patents 2,971,940 and 4,309,293 disclose various sulfurized phenols which are illustrative of sulfur-based additives that may be treated according to the method of the present invention.
One particular class of phenates for use in this invention are the basic (i.e., overbased, etc.) Group IIA metal sulfurized phenates made by sulfurizing a phenol as described hereinabove with a sulfurizing agent such as sulfur, a sulfur halide, or sulfide or hydrosulfide salt. Techniques for making these sulfurized phenates are described in U.S. Patents 2,680,096; 3,036,971 and 3,775,321 which are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosures in this regard.
As previously indicated, the additives of the present invention, which are essentially labile-sulfur free, find use in a wide range of lubricants and functional fluids. Such additives may be employed in a variety of lubricants based on diverse oils of lubricating viscosity, including natural and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. The lubricants include crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, including automobile and truck engines, 2-cycle engines, aviation piston engines, marine and railroad diesel engines and the like. Also contemplated are lubricants for gas engines, stationary power engines and turbines and the like. Transaxle
lubricants, gear lubricants, metal-working lubricants and other lubricating oil and grease compositions are within the scope of the present invention. Various functional fluids to which the additives of the present invention may be added include hydraulic fluids, heat transfer fluids, automatic transmission fluids and the like.
Natural oils include animal oils and vegetable oils (e.g.. castor, lard oil) liquid petroleum oils and hydrorefined, solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful base oils.
Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins [e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes. poly(l-hexenes) , poly(l-octenes) , poly(l-decenes)]; alkylbenzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes]; polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls, alkylated polyphenols); and alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulfides and the derivatives, analogs and homologs thereof.
Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification. etherification, etc., constitute another class of known synthetic lubricating oils. These are exemplified by polyoxyalkylene polymers prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, diphenyl ether of poly-ethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 500-1000. diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000-1500); and mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof.
for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C_-C_ fatty acid esters and C. 1_3 Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.
Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, aleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate. di-n-hexyl fumarate. dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C_ 3 to C-._.___ monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol.
Silicon-based oils such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxysiloxane oils and silicate oils comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricants; they include tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2-pentoxy)disiloxane, poly(methyl)siloxanes and poly(methylphenyl) siloxanes. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate.
trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid) and polymeric tetrahydrofurans.
Unrefined, refined and rerefined oils can be used in the lubricants of the present invention. Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source without further purification treatment. For example, a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations, a petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation or ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process and used without further treatment would be an unrefined oil. Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Many such purification techniques, such as distillation, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration and percolation are known to those skilled in the art. Rerefined oils are obtained by processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils applied to refined oils which have been already used in service. Such rerefined 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.
Generally the lubricants of the present invention contain a performance and lubricating improving amount of one or more of the treated sulfur-based additives of this invention which do not corrode metals or only to a minor, insignificant extent and do not degrade elastomer materials or only to a minor, insignificant extent. Normally the amount employed will be about 0.05% to about 20%, preferably about 0.1% to about 10% of the total weight of the lubricating composition. This amount is exclusive of solvent/diluent medium. In lubricating compositions operated under extremely adverse conditions, such as lubricating compositions for marine diesel engines, the metal salts of this invention may be present in amounts of up to about 30% by weight, or more, of the total weight of the lubricating composition.
The invention also contemplates the use of other additives in combination with the treated additives of this invention. Such additives include, for example, detergents and dispersants of the ash-producing or ashless type, and other oxidation-inhibiting agents, pour point depressing agents, extreme pressure agents, antiwear agents, color stabilizers and anti-foam agents.
The ash-producing detergents are exemplified by oil-soluble neutral and basic salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals with sulfonic acids, carboxylic acids, or organic phosphorus acids characterized by at least one direct carbon-to-phosphorus linkage such as those prepared by the treatment of an olefin polymer (e.g., polyisobutene having a molecular weight of 1000) with a phosphorizing agent such as phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus heptasulfide, phosphorus pentasulfide, phosphorus trichloride and sulfur, white phosphorus and a sulfur halide, or phosphorothioic chloride. The most commonly used salts of such acids are those of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium.
The term "basic salt" is used to designate metal salts wherein the metal is present in stoichiometrically larger amounts than the organic acid radical. The commonly employed methods for preparing the basic salts involve heating a mineral oil solution of an acid with a stoichiometric excess of a metal neutralizing agent such as the metal oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or sulfide at a temperature of about 50°C. and filtering the resulting mass. The use of a "promoter" in the neutraliziation step to aid the incorporation of a large excess of metal likewise is known. Examples of compound useful as the promoter include phenolic substances such as phenol, naphthol, alkylphenol, thiophenol, sulfurized alkylphenol, and condensation products of formaldehyde with a phenolic substance: alcohols such as methanol, 2-propanol, octyl alcohol, cellosolve, carbitol, ethylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, and cyclohexyl alcohol; and
amines such as aniline, phenylenediamine, phenothiazine, phenyl-β-naphthylamine, and dodecylamine. A particularly effective method for preparing the basic salts comprises mixing an acid with an excess of a basic alkaline earth metal neutralizing agent and at least one alcohol promoter, and carbonating the mixture at an elevated temperature such as 6O-200eC.
Ashless detergents and dispersants are so called despite the fact that, depending on its constitution, the dispersant may upon combustion yield a non-volatile material such as boric oxide or phosphorus pentoxide; however, it does not ordinarily contain metal and therefore does not yield a metal-containing ash on combustion. Many types are known in the art, and any of them are suitable for use in the lubricant compositions of this invention. The following are illustrative:

Many of the above-mentioned extreme pressure agents and corrosion- oxidation inhibitors also serve as antiwear agents. Zinc dialkylphosphorodithioates are a well known example.
Pour point depressants are a particularly useful type of additive often included in the lubricating oils described herein. The use of such pour point depressants in oil-based compositions to improve low temperature properties of oil-based compositions is well known in the art. See, for example, page 8 of "Lubricant Additives" by C.V. Smalheer and R. Kennedy Smith (Lezius-Hiles Co. publishers, Cleveland, Ohio, 1967).
Examples of useful pour point depressants are polymethacrylates, polyacrylates; polyacrylamides; condensation products of haloparaffin waxes and aromatic compounds; vinyl carboxylate polymers; and terpolymers of dialkylfumarates, vinylesters of fatty acids and alkylvinylethers. Pour point depressants useful for the purposes of this invention, techniques for their preparation and their uses are described in U.S. Patents 2.387.501; 2,015.748; 2.655,479; 1,815,022; 2,191.498; 2.666.746; 2,721.877; 2.721.878; and 3.250.715 which are hereby incorporated by reference for their relevant disclosures.
Anti-foam agents are used to reduce or prevent the formation of stable foam. Typical anti-foam agents include silicones or organic polymers. Additional anti-foam compositions are described in "Foam Control Agents", by Henry T. Kerner (Noyes Data Corporation. 1976). pages 125-162.
The labile-sulfur free additive compositions of this invention can be added directly to the lubricant. Preferably, however, they are diluted with a substantially inert, normally liquid organic diluent such as mineral oil, naphtha, benzene, toluene or xylene, to form an additive concentrate. These concentrates usually contain from about 5% to 90% by weight of the additive of this
invention and may contain, in addition, one or more other additives known in the art or described hereinabove. The remainder of the concentrate is the substantially inert normally liquid diluent.
The following non-limiting examples are afforded in order that those skilled in the art may more readily understand the present invention and specified preferred embodiments thereof with respect to the method of the present invention in accordance with the foregoing description.
