Abstract

STABILIZATION OF HYDROCRACKED OILS WITH CERTAIN DIHYDROXY COMPONENTS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Hydrocracked lubricating oils are effectively stabilized against deterioration caused by light by the inclusion of at least one of certain dihydroxy components. Such component, e.g., 3,5-di-tert-butyl catechol and 4,6-di-tert-butyl resorcinol, provide outstanding inhibition to sunlight deterioration.

Oil~ ~uch as ~he ~c~nomica~ly v~lu~ble hydrocra~ed lubricating oils used in hi~ invention, degrade in li~ht, especially in the Dre~ence of air. Since the hydrocracked oils are valuable, there has been considerable effort to ~ind ways to prevent their breakdown due to light.
U.S. Patent 4,036,770 ~eaches a method for stabilizing hydrocracked oils which in~olves a~din~
nitro-containing aromatic amine c~mponent~. Such com~onents ~re relatively expensive and therefore m~y ~dd significantly to the cost of the hydrocracked oils, Also~ such r~mponents m~y impart a less than desirable ~olor an~/or odor to the final product.
U~S. Patent 4,101,430 teache~ that oxidative ~egradation of lu~ricant co~po~ition6 containing certain organo ~ulfur-c~ntaining nickel complexe~ is inhibited.

~ t is preferred that th~ hydrocarbonaceous radical ~e ~ubstantially ~atura ed aliphatic radicals.

Also, it is pxeferred that each of the R qrou~s include at least ~ne textiary carbon atomO More preerably, each of the R sroups has the same structure and, still more preferab~y, each of the R groups i.s a tertiary butyl group.
In a preferred emboaiment, the a~de~ dihydroxy-diphenyl component compri~es about O . 005~ to ~bout 2 . 0%
more preferably, ab~ut 0.01% to about 1. 0%, by weight of the total composition.

lQ The term "hydrocracked lubricating oil~ means an oil, preferably a mineral oil, of lubricating viscosity which is derived from a lubricating oil produced by contac~ing a hydrocarhon feédstoc~ with hydrogen, preferably : in the presence of ca~alyst effective to promote hydro cracking, at hydrocarbon hydrocracking conditions to ~: produce an oil of lubricating viscosity having an increased viscosity index relative to the visc~sity index of : the hydrocarbon feedstock. In addition, the hydrocracked lubricating oll may be subjected ~o addi~ional processing, e.g., further contacting with hydrogen-~: a~ain preferably in the ~resence of an effective catalyst-~
other purifying procedures and the like, to further : ~mprove the guality, e~g~ 9 color, of the hydrocracked lu~ricatinq oil, For example, hydrocracked lubricatin~
oils useful in the present inventi~n may be obtaine~
by the processes disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,642J610.
~ ypical examples of the ~ubstantially monovalent hydrocarb~naceous radical~ from which R may be selected incluaes alkyl,such a~ methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl~ hexyl gincluding cyclohexyl), 05tvl, decyl, the like; ~yl, ~uch ~ phenyl~ benzyl and the like;
alkaryl ~u~h a~ ~ethy~ phenyl, ethyl phenyl, butyl phenyl, octyl ph~yl, ~ea~l phenyl And ghe like;
alkenaryl ~ch ~ e~hylenyl phenyl, octenyl phenyl, oleyl phenyl and the like; ~ralkyl ~uch as ph~nyl ethyl, phenyl o~tyl, phen~l stearyl a~d *he like; and ar~lkenyl ~uch as phenyl ~thylenyl, p~enyl butenyl, phenyl octenyl, phenyl oleyl and ~he like. ~s no~ed above, it is preferred that such hydrocarbonaceous radical~ be substantially 10 ~aturated.
By n substantially hydrocarbonaceo~s~ radical is meant those radical~ which are comp~sed mainly of hydro~en and carbon, and include such radicals ;~
which contain, in addition, minor amounts of ubstituents, such as chlorine, bromine, ~ulfur, nitrogen and the like, which do not substantially affect their hydrocarbon characterO Preferably, such substantial.ly hydrocarbonaceous radical~ include only ~rbon ~nd hydrogen ~toms.
The presen ly useful dihydroxy component m~y be produced using procedures well known in the art.
The following example~ illustrate ~ore ~lear~y the compositions and methods Df the present invention, ~owever, the6e illustra~ion~ 2re not to be interpreted ~pecific limitationfi on this inventicn.
EXAMæLES
These exam~les illustrate certain of the advantages of the present invention.
A commercially available hydrocracked oil of lubricating viscosity was selected for testing.
~his hydrocracked oil had the following properties.
Initial Boiling Point, F. ;~ 600 Viscosity, SU5 at 100~. 156.0 Viscosity Index 106 t~

This oil was deriv~d using a well known lube oil hydrocracking process.
Varying amounts of 3~-di-tert-~uty~ catechol were blended into samples of the hydrocracked ~il.
In order ~o ~etern~ine .he susce?tibi~.ity ~f the oils ~n~ ~len~ to lig~t deterioration, 10 gram ~amples were p~aced In ~5D ml. beaker~ ana exposed to tw~ 12) 275 watt ~.V~ ~unlamps at se~en(7) in~hes ~n a r~tating table ~r a period of fifteen (15) hours.
After the fifteen (15~ ~our exposure periodr each of the samples was processed to determine the amount of E~l~ds Isludge) formation. The followi~ results were obtained:
