A kind of synthetic base oil and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to contain in a kind of the composition synthetic base oil of the two alkyl aromatic compounds of slight branch, be particularly related to a kind of high viscosity index (HVI) that has concurrently, low volatility, excellent cold property, superior heat-stability and oxidative stability, and the solvent synthetic base oil of preferable additive.
Background technology
So-called synthetic base oil, poly-alpha olefins (poly α-olefin for example, be called for short PAO) lubricating base oils, be meant with chemical synthesis process prepared come out have the lubricating oil of setting the molecular structure body and having setting property, it has indispensable character such as high viscosity index (HVI), low volatility, excellent cold property, thermostability and oxidative stability usually.
In patent documentation, the several pieces of patents of invention relevant with synthetic base oil are arranged.For example, United States Patent (USP) 6,869,917 disclose a kind of PAO ucon oil, it has excellent cold property, and viscosity index be higher than 120 and Selby-NOACK (be called for short NOACK) volatility about 4% to 12% characteristic, be applicable to lubricating oil as the heavy gas oil engine.
United States Patent (USP) 5,600,025 discloses a kind of synthetic base oil that contains straight chain formula alkylphenol, and it has the characteristic that when low temperature lubricating oil and additive are non-crystallizable or do not have wax to exist.
United States Patent (USP) 3,173,965 disclose a kind of two alkylbenzene (dialkylbenzene that contain, the preparation method of synthetic base oil abbreviation DAB), by two step alkylation processs, and in the presence of liquid acid catalysts such as hydrofluoric acid, aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride, make described DAB synthetic base oil.The MV minium viscosity index of this DAB synthetic base oil is 95, and yield point is no more than 15  (9.4 ℃); But compare with the PAO ucon oil, synthetic the lubricating of PAO still has more excellent cold property, and the MV minium viscosity index is 120.
United States Patent (USP) 4,148,834 further point out to use aluminum chloride, alchlor to improve with the viscosity index of hydrofluoric acid as the prepared DAB synthetic base oil of catalyzer in two above-mentioned step alkylation processs.
United States Patent (USP) 3,288,716 disclose a kind of alkanisation product, have at least 90 minimal viscosity index, rotate simulation viscosity (CCS) at-40 ℃ of down cold axles and are no more than 25, and 000cSt, yield point are at least-70 ℃ and the characteristic of flashing point at least 430 .
United States Patent (USP) 4,011,166 disclose carry out polymerization and alkylation reaction by short chain straight chain formula alpha-olefin and benzene after, make and have the more alkanisation product of high viscosity index (HVI).But the cold property of this alkanisation product is not good, and especially carbon number is at C 14Or when above, improving yield point has its difficulty.
United States Patent (USP) 6,491,809 disclose the preparation method of another kind of DAB synthetic base oil, optionally in the presence of the solid catalyst, make described DAB synthetic base oil by linear alpha-olefin and benzene reaction at the type body; And, realize the isomerization of alkyl group side chain is minimized by use type body catalysts selective, make prepared DAB synthetic base oil have the carbon of high-load especially alkyl bond-2 position linearity (2-linear) isomer, and the characteristic that possesses high viscosity index (HVI) and higher yield point.
In addition, the viscosity index of synthetic base oil is higher than 120, is one of key property of synthetic base oil, and this characteristic has become the important indicator that high standard GIII in synthetic base oil and the mineral base oil or low specification GII and GI separate.
As previously mentioned, the PAO ucon oil has and is higher than 120 viscosity index and excellent cold property, and the highest GIII mineral base oil of tool, except that cold property a little the inferior position, also has the advantage of high viscosity index (HVI), is enough to contend with the PAO ucon oil.

Therefore, synthetic base oil is higher than 120 the viscosity index and excellent cold property except that having concurrently, also has excellent additive solvency power concurrently, is the important breakthrough of synthetic base oil industry, and is very attractive.
In related prior art, a kind of " heavy alkide " by product can independent separate in the known process of being produced the sanitising agent alkylbenzene by alkene or alkane and benzene reaction comes out.This " heavy alkide " compares with petroleum derivation mineral oil, have preferable solvability, excellent cold property, superior heat-stability and oxidative stability, but, because be from sanitising agent alkylbenzene alkanisation and obtain to contain the product of isomerization structure at high proportion again, not to obtain through alkylation process, so show relatively poor viscosity index and high volatile volatile characteristic usually by two alkylbenzenes.
For example, by chain type alkene (as a tetrapropylene) institute deutero-heavy alkide, its viscosity index is not good, usually less than 30; By straight chain formula alkene institute deutero-heavy alkide, its viscosity index is also not good, and is between 40 to 110, all of inferior quality than traditional mineral oil product.Because this " heavy alkide " has these defectives,, be not suitable for being used as the substituent of cycloalkanes lubricating oil so it only is applied to do not have refrigeration oil, hot coal oil and transformer oil in the sealing barrier systems of high request for volatility and viscosity index.

(1) NOACK volatility: ASTM D5800B (2) aniline point: ASTM D611
According to the result of table 1-3, the viscosity index of embodiment 1-4 is respectively 123,127,125 and 126; Upper pour point is respectively-59 ℃ ,-53 ℃ ,-58 ℃ and-40 ℃; The Selby-NOACK volatility is respectively 10%, 9%, 6.3% and 7.6%; And cold axle rotation simulation viscosity (CCS) is respectively 7,000cp, 14,000cp, 17,000cp and 14,500cp under-40 ℃.Wherein, CCS be the test lubricant at low temperatures transmitting capacity and make engine start the index of ability smoothly.
So, embodiment 1-2 and the 3-4 explanation synthetic base oil that contains the slight DAB of branch of the present invention meets high viscosity index (HVI), low NOACK volatility, excellent cold property, excellent thermostability and the characteristic of oxidative stability, the minimal viscosity index is 120, upper pour point is-40 ℃, the NOACK volatility is no more than 13%, below-40 ℃, cold axle rotates simulation viscosity (CCS) and is not higher than 20,000cp.
Comparative example 1-3 uses mordenite and commercial C 12Straight chain formula alpha-olefin (but comparative example 3 uses pure alpha-olefin), make prepared DAB have the carbon of high-load alkyl bond-2 position linearity (2-linear) isomer and have high viscosity index (HVI), but the cold axle under-40 ℃ rotates simulation viscosity (CCS), and good cold property can't be provided.
Same situation, the cold axle of comparative example 4-5 under-40 ℃ rotates simulation viscosity (CCS), and good cold property can't be provided.
In addition, comparative result according to the process conditions of showing 2-3, branch's characteristic, viscosity transitivity, the present invention is by increasing the branch's characteristic and the processing procedure pan feeding temperature of alkene charging, can produce the DAB that has the high viscosity index and have better CCS character under-40 ℃ under high yield.This effect has broken through the blind spot of known technology, because the branch of known alkyl group side chain can reduce the reactivity of alkene at the solid acid alkylating processing procedure in known technology, and can make synthetic base oil reduce viscosity index significantly.
Secondly, according to the results of structural analysis of table 2-3, when temperature increase, a position DAB isomer can increase, and this is that the product of thermodynamics preference is theoretical consistent with a position isomer, still between a DAB isomer there is no major contribution for the improvement of cold property.Yet the carbon of contraposition isomer and alkyl bond-2 position linearity (2-linear) isomer is the source that is considered to high viscosity index (HVI) in known technology, but when significantly reducing, does not but influence or reduce the viscometric properties of of the present invention pair of alkylbenzene composition significantly.
For further confirming the ramose influence, under lesser temps (200 ℃), carry out alkylated reaction with isomerise linear olefinic hydrocarbons in advance according to implementing 3, learn except that can making prepared DAB tool desirable viscosity index also have better cold property (yield point is by-40 ℃ to-58 ℃).And, reduce the generation that temperature of reaction can be improved the problem of catalyst aging and reduce side reaction.
Analyze comparative example 5 from table 3 again, comparative example 5 uses the linear alpha-olefin mixture to prepare DAB, but thisly be usually used in improveing and the technology of optimizing synthetic base oil characteristic, only can on some degree, improve yield point, but can't provide improvement for the cold axle rotation simulation viscosity (CCS) under-40 ℃.
According to the result of table 4, embodiment 1 (C 12Base DAB) with embodiment 3 (C 14Base DAB) accords with or surpasses the key property of PAO and GIII/GII hydrocracking product, comprise high viscosity index (HVI), low volatility, excellent cold property, and additive solvability (determining), make it be suitable as senior synthetic base oil by aniline point.
And commercialization DAB, the PAO of comparative example 6-11 and mineral base oil product have low/unacceptable volatility, compare with the DAB of the present invention's preparation, and its viscosity index is nothing like.
Cooperate the branch of TMN shown in Figure 2 and BI to concern, further specify alkene branch characteristic/category of embodiment 1-4 and comparative example 1-7 again with table 5.Wherein, the two alkylbenzenes that contain the alkyl group side chain of higher carbon number obviously provide higher viscosity index.High TMN value of the present invention (2.5-2.6) C 14The C of base DAB and low TMN value (2.1-2.4) 12Viscosity index (VI) value of base DAB is more or less the same.Higher TMN value is considered to higher alkyl group side chain branch.In addition, can reach in the present invention describes desired branch degree by the alkene that mixes different B I group can be understood.
