Plant oil-based low-sulfur diesel antiwear agent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of bio-based anti-wear agents, and particularly relates to a plant oil-based low-sulfur diesel anti-wear agent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the widespread use of diesel engines, the consumption of diesel fuel is increasing year by year. However, the large consumption of diesel fuel inevitably leads to further aggravation of the emission of harmful substances from vehicles. Since emissions have a serious impact on the ecological environment, human health and economic development, governments in various countries have successively enacted strict emissions regulations, limiting the harmful emissions of diesel vehicles. With the implementation of national standard V of diesel oil, the sulfur content of the diesel oil is reduced to below 10ppm, and the desulfurized diesel oil is implemented in domestic refineries. At present, sulfur reduction technologies such as hydrotreating, hydrocracking and the like are adopted in China, so that the sulfur content of fuel is greatly reduced, and the content of polar compounds in diesel oil is too low, so that the lubricity of the diesel oil is greatly reduced, the phenomenon of abrasion and damage of a large number of diesel oil pumps is caused, and the service life of the diesel oil pumps is shortened. The problem of lubricity of diesel oil is the first to appear in northern Europe, early nineties, the first low-sulfur diesel oil produced in Sweden has a sulfur content of less than 10ppm, aromatic hydrocarbons of less than 5%, a second sulfur content of less than 50ppm, and aromatic hydrocarbons of less than 20%, and the fraction of the diesel oil is basically kerosene fraction (95% distillation range is not more than 285 ℃), so that the natural lubricity of the diesel oil is reduced. When this diesel fuel was marketed, there began to be approximately 70 light duty diesel vehicles with fuel injection pump wear problems. In the popularization and use of low-sulfur diesel oil in the United states, a large number of lubrication problems are reported, particularly in winter low-cloud-point diesel oil, and when the sulfur content is lower than 100ppm, the problem of abrasion of an oil injection pump is already caused under the dual effects of the two factors due to poor lubricity and low viscosity of oil products. Therefore, improving the lubricity of low-sulfur diesel is one of the key problems in solving the wide-range popularization of low-sulfur diesel.
In the prior art, an antiwear agent is usually added into low-sulfur diesel oil, and the antiwear agent can be adsorbed on the surface of metal to form a layer of protective film on the surface of the metal, so that the friction force between the metal is reduced, and the lubricity of the low-sulfur diesel oil is effectively improved. At present, the antiwear agents on the market mainly comprise unsaturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acid esters thereof, amide derivatives and the like, wherein an acid type improver accounts for about 70% of the market, and an ester type improver and an amide type improver account for about 30% of the market.
At present, a plurality of organizations develop the research of directly using vegetable oil as the low-sulfur diesel anti-wear agent. CS275894, EP605857 disclose the use of natural oils and fats such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, etc. as anti-wear agents for low sulphur diesel oil directly. Although the vegetable oil has the advantages of easily available raw materials, low price and the like, the vegetable oil has relatively poor using effect, and has the defects of high viscosity, high condensation point and the like, so the vegetable oil is difficult to industrially apply.
The latest research result shows that the lubricity can be greatly improved by adding the biodiesel into the low-sulfur diesel, and the additional value of the biodiesel can be obviously improved. However, the lubricating effect of biodiesel can only be achieved at a relatively high addition level, and the addition level is usually more than 0.8% (volume fraction) so as to reduce the wear scar diameter of low-sulfur diesel to less than 460 μm (the enhancing effect of biodiesel on the lubricity of low-sulfur diesel [ J ], [ petroleum refining and chemical industry ], [ 2005, 36(7): 25-28), so that the economic efficiency of biodiesel as an additive is poor. In addition, the biodiesel contains a large amount of saturated fatty acid methyl ester, the condensation point is usually above-5 ℃, the use requirement of the low-sulfur diesel antiwear agent cannot be met, and the biodiesel cannot be suitable for cold regions. Therefore, the lubricity of biodiesel needs to be improved by a molecular modification means, and the blending ratio and the product solidifying point of the biodiesel in low-sulfur diesel are reduced.
CN1990835A discloses a preparation method of modified biodiesel capable of being used as a low-sulfur diesel antiwear agent, which greatly reduces the blending ratio, and adopts the technical means that biodiesel and polyalcohol carry out ester exchange reaction or biodiesel and organic amine carry out aminolysis reaction, thereby obtaining a modified biodiesel product. However, when the polyol is used as a raw material to perform ester exchange reaction, a polyester structure is easily formed, so that the condensation point of the product is too high, and the product performance cannot meet the requirement.
The problem of lubricity of diesel oil can be well solved by adding vegetable oleic acid into low-sulfur diesel oil, but generally, vegetable oleic acid mostly contains a certain amount of saturated fatty acid with a high condensation point, and the saturated fatty acid of the vegetable oleic acid is difficult to be completely separated by adopting the existing separation means, such as a freezing squeezing method, a distillation refining method and the like, so that the condensation point of the vegetable oleic acid in the market is generally higher than-8 ℃, and the vegetable oleic acid can not reach the use standard of the acid type antiwear agent with the condensation point of-12 ℃ specified in the Q/SHCG57-2014 standard. Therefore, at present, the low-sulfur diesel antiwear agent is prepared by adopting tall oil fatty acid which does not contain saturated fatty acid basically abroad, and other vegetable oil fatty acid is difficult to popularize and apply. The vegetable oil resource is rich in China, but the refined tall oil fatty acid resource is rare. Therefore, the plant oil is used as the raw material, and the high-added-value bio-based chemicals are developed through deep processing, so that the method has good economic benefits and also has remarkable social effects.
