Description

Viscosity index improver and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, in particular to a viscosity index improver and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Viscosity index improvers, also known as tackifiers, are used primarily in internal combustion engine oils, hydraulic oils, automatic transmission fluids, and gear oils, and are used second to detergents and dispersants in the range of lubricating oil additives. The viscosity index improver is an oil-soluble chain-shaped high molecular compound, can be dissolved in hydrocarbon base oil used for a lubricant, and has small influence on the internal friction of the base oil due to the shrinkage of a high molecular coil of the viscosity index improver at low temperature, so that the viscosity of an oil product is relatively small; the high-molecular coil of the viscosity index improver swells and stretches at high temperature, the hydrodynamic volume and the surface area are increased, the internal friction of the base oil is obviously increased, the viscosity of the base oil is increased, the high-temperature lubricity of the base oil is improved, and the purpose of improving the viscosity performance of an oil product at different temperatures is achieved.
The viscosity index improver can thicken base oil, change the viscosity-temperature property of oil products, ensure that the oil products have good high-temperature lubricity and low-temperature fluidity, reduce the consumption of fuel and lubricating oil and realize the generalization of the oil products. In addition, the viscosity index improver is not only required to have no obvious harmful effect on the oxidation stability and detergency of the oil product, but also required to have moderate viscosity loss of the thickened oil under the action of mechanical shear. In practical application, a good viscosity index improver not only requires large thickening capacity and good shear stability, but also requires good low-temperature performance, thermal oxidation stability and good compatibility with other oil additives (such as pour point depressants). Therefore, in the development and production of lubricating oils, care must be taken to select viscosity index improvers.
The viscosity index improver commonly used is four main types of hydrogenated styrene diene (styrene-isoprene) polymer (HSD), Polyisobutylene (PIB), ethylene-propylene copolymer (OCP) and Polymethacrylate (PMA). The ethylene-propylene copolymer viscosity index improver (OCP) has the advantages of excellent comprehensive performance, low price and the like in the use of engines, so the ethylene-propylene copolymer viscosity index improver is widely applied and developed. The ethylene-propylene copolymer can be obtained through two ways, one is that ethylene-propylene rubber with higher molecular weight is degraded to certain molecular weight through thermal oxidation and machinery, so as to meet the use requirement; and the other is that the ethylene propylene rubber is directly polymerized to obtain a polymer with proper molecular weight or the ethylene propylene rubber with higher molecular weight is chemically degraded and then is subjected to functionalization treatment to obtain the ethylene propylene rubber.
The ethylene propylene rubber chemical degradation process is to dissolve a polymer in base oil, then carry out free radical chain scission, and finally introduce a functionalized substance, and has the main defects that: one is that the polymer has high dissolution temperature, and needs longer dissolution time and higher energy consumption; secondly, the viscosity of the base oil and the ethylene-propylene polymer is greatly changed along with the temperature, so that the free radical grafting process also needs to be carried out at a higher temperature; thirdly, the functionalized substances and the reaction residual substances must be removed under the conditions of high temperature and vacuum; and fourthly, the product contains base oil, and for different users, the adjustment of the using process is caused due to the difference of the source of the base oil.
