HOECHST AKTIE21GESELLSCH~FT HOE 90/F 366 Dr. GT/PP
Description Process for the preparation o calcium sulfonate/calcium carbonate complexes The invention relates to a process of the type mentioned in the precharacterizing clause of claim 1. Such a process has been disclosed in GB-B-2,146,348. The result-ing products are oil-soluble superba ic calcium sulfon-ate calcium carbona~e complexes. The invention also relates to the use of these products.

In the process of the Bri~ish paten~ specification, oil-soluble aralkylsulfonic acids are neutralized with a stoichiometric excess of basic calcium compounds in a liquid non-polar reaction medium. Aliphatic carbo~ylic acids having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or benzoic acid, but preferably acetic acid, and lower aliphatic alcohols and/or alkoxyalkanols, in particular the monomethyl ether of ethylene glycol, are urthermore also present in the reaction medium during this reaction. The excess basic calcium compounds still present aiEter the neutralization are converted into calcium carbonate by passing in carbon dioxide. The desired superbasic sulfonate/carbonate complex is form~d in this proced~re. Unreacted basic calcium compounds are removed by filtration and the volatile fractions of the reaction mixture are removed by distillation. Precisely this last step of puriication of the product to remove undesired concomitant substances often presents major problems and i8 technically very complex. The filtered product~ often show non-reproducible, varying properties, so tha~ they are unusable ~or commercial further processing.

The process product is used as a starting component for the preparation of lubricating oil additives and as a raw material for the preparation of anticorrosive agents for the sector of preservation of hollow spaces and under-sealing on, for example, road vehicles. In this connec-tion, these sulfonate~carbonate complexes are often mixed -- 2 ~
with alkaline ear~h me~al derivatives of aliphatic carbo~ylic acid~, which are themselves anticorrosive agents, in order to intensify their action. The - preparation of these mixtures which can be used as anticorrosive agents means an additional st~p during processing of the calcium ~ulfonate/calcium carbonate comple~es / and furthermore the alkaline earth metal derivative of the alipha~ic carboxylic acids mu~t be prepared separately beforehand.

The object of the invention i6 thus to improve the known pxocess to ~he extent ~hat the process product s~an be ~eparated o~f from the concomitant subs~ance~ wi~hout problems. The resulting process product should furth~r-more have an improved action when used as an anti-corrosi~e agent, so khat subsequent mixing with alkaline earth metal derivatives of aliphatic carboxylic acid~ can be dispensed with.

According to the invention, this object i~ achiaved by replacing the water-soluble or wat;er-miscible carboxylic acids present in the reaction mixture in the known process by higher, water-immis~ible and practically water-insoluble carboxylic acids.

The invention thus relates to the proceEs having the features mentioned in claim 1, the dependen~ claims describing ad~antageous embodiments of the process. The particular content of the individual components, with the exception of the water-insoluble or water-immiscible carboxylic acids which are essential to the inventiont corresponds to the amounts described in th~ prior art, - 30 although the pxoportions stated below are particularly advantageous for the present invention.

The carboxylic acids employed according to th~ invention are naturally occurring or synth~tic fatty acids and have at least B, preferably 8 to 24, carbon atomsn They are in general in the form of a mixture. Water-insolublel ~ 3 water-immiscible aromatic carboxylic acids, such as, for example, naphthalenecarboxylic acids, are also suitable.
Paraffincarboxylic acids, which are prepared by catalytic oxidation of petrochemicals or polyethyl2ne wax, the former being known by the name oxidized petrolatum, are preferably employed. Suitable carboxylic acids are, for example, also unsaturated fatty acids, such a~ oleic acid, and amino acids, æuch as oleylaminoacetic acid. The content of water-insoluble or wa~er-immiscible carboxylic acids i~ in general more than 2, in particular 2.5 ~o 15 % by weight, based on the aral~ylsulfonic acids, but can also be up to 50 % by weight.

In the process of the in~ention, the constituents of the reaction mixture are ~irst mixed with one another, the acid~ being neutralized at room temperature by an excess of basic calcium compounds, and the mixture is then charged with carbon dioxide at elevated temperature. The entire couxse of the process can thus take place in a single reaction container, i.e. a~ a one-stage process.

The neutralization of the sulfonic acids and carboxylic acids takes place in a liquid non-polar reaction medium, for example in the form of liquid hydrocarbons, oils, for example mineral oil, or in mixtures of these compounds, a polar solubilizing agent being added to accelerate the neutralization re~ction.

The oil-soluble aralkylsulfonic acids consist of an aromatic nucleus, for example naphthalene or phenan-threne, but in particular a benzene nucleu6, having ak lea3t one S03H group and one or two straight-chain or branched alkyl radicals, such as axe describedr for example, in U.S. Patents 3,342,079; 3,372,115; 3,492,831;
3,746,643 and 3,816,310. These compounds axe also known by thP term oil-soluble crude oil sulfonic acids or petroleumsulfonic acids. The aralkyl~ulfonic acids are added to the liquid non-polar reaction medium, while stirring, the calcium oxide andior calcium hydroxide (~white lime h~drate~ required for neu~ralization of the aralkylsulfonic acids and the carboxylic acids being added in excess simultaneously, beforehand and/or there-after. The amount of basic calcium compound is more than S twice the amount required for neutralization o~ the sulfonic and carboxylic acids.

After an after-stirring time of 15 to 30 minutes, water and the polar solubilizing agent in the form of water-soluble or water-miscible aliphatic alcohols, prefer bly Cl-C4-alkanols, or w~ter-soluble or water-miscible alkoxy-alkanols, in particular water-soluble monoal~yl ethers of a water-soluble glycol, such as, for example, the mono-methyl or monoethyl ether of ethylene glycol (methyl-glycol or ethylglycol), are added. The amount of polar solubilizing a~ent is in general 3 to 15 ~ by weight, based on the liquid non-polar reaction medlum. In con-trast, the amount of water is in general lower than the amount of polar solubilizing agent and is usually 1 to 15 % by weight, based on the polar solubilizing agent.

The water-immiscible or water-insoluble carboxylic acids which are essential to the invention arQ then also added to the reaction mixkure. This component can al80 be added before, at the same tim~ as or after the aralkylsulfonic acids. Since the carboxylic acid~ are solid at room temperature, they are usually first liquefied by melting and added to the reaction mixture in this form. The carboxylic acids, like the aral~ylsulfonic acids, are neutralized by the calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide and converted into the corresponding calcium salts.

The neutralization reactions are advantageously carried out at room temperature, i.e. at 15 to 30C.

Af~er the neutralization of the sulfonic and carboxylic acids, the carbonation is carried ou~ to neutralize and solubilize excess basic calcium compounds. For this, C02 is usually passed in gaseous form into the reaction - 5 ~
mixture, which has been heated to 30 to 95, in particulax 40 to 70C. It is in general sufficient to add not more than 1 mol of CO2 p~r mol of calcium, the minimum amount of CO2 being 0.7 mol per mol of Ca.

The process product is a complex of superbasic calcium aralkylsulfona~es, calcium carbonate and calcium car-boxylate and is pre~ent in an organic polar/non polar solvent mixture. ~he Ca content measured i6 greater than that determined stoichiometrically. The solid particles of unreacted basic calcium compounds and othex impurities can be remo~ed without problems ~hrough a suitable clarifying filter, mesh width, for example, 200 to 400 ~m. The process product dis~olved or finely dispersed in the organic solvent mixture i~ obtained in concentra~-ed`form by removal of some or substantially all the sol-vents by distillation.

The product ha~ the advantage that it is obtained in a concentrated form without problems and can be employed a~
a corrosion inhibitor without further addition of Ca carboxylate. It is particularly suitable for preservation of hollow spaces and as an underseal for road vehicles.

The invention is illustrated in more detail by the following example~.

Exam~le 1 The following components are reacted in a stirred container:
2 500 kg of hydrocarbon mixture (boiling point 150-200C) 1 720 kg of pPtroleumsulfonic acid (oil-soluble ~rude oil sulfonic acids) 999 kg of calcium hydroxide 287 kg of methylglycol 2b7 kg of water ~ 3 172 kg of oxidized petrolatum (water-in601uble carboxylic acid~) 470 kg of carbon dioxide gas The hydrocarbon mixtllre is first initially introduced into the contaîner at room temperature and the ~ated amount~ of petroleum~ulfoni~ acid and calcium hydroxide are introduced.

After an after-~tirring time of 20 minutes, the methyl-glycol and the water are added at ambient temperature.

The molten oxidized petrolatum is also added, and the stated amoun~ of C2 i8 then passed into ~he reaction mixture at 50 - 60C in the course of 2 to 3 hour~.

When the introduction of the gas has ended, the mixtuxe i5 filtered over a 300 ~m sieve .into a second reactor.
Tha resulting filtrate is finally freed from the volatile solvents ~hydrocarbons, meth~lglycol) by di~tillation under a slight vacuum.

The result is 5 250 kg of a product which contains about 20 ~ by weight of active compound and has a TB~ ~total basic number) of at lea~t 230 mg of ~OH/g (AST~D 2 896).

Example 2 The following amounts are employed in a manner analogous to that described in Example 1:

2 400 kg of hydrocarbon mixture (boiling point 150-200~) 1 660 kg of petroleumsulfonic acid 1 030 kg of calci~m hydroxide 558 kg of methylglycol 257 kg of water 147 kg of oxidi2ed petrolat~um 440 kg of carbon dioxide gas.

' ~

~ ~2 a~

The result is 5 800 kg of a mixture h2ving an active content of 20 ~ by weight, a TBN of 217, a dry content o 93 % by weight and a flashpoint of 73~C.
