Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for improving the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates by adding mixtures of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and an oxidized polyethylene wax and / or an oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
  • Mineral oils such as crude oil, diesel fuel or heating oil contain dissolved paraffin, which crystallizes out at low temperatures. These solid deposits often lead to disruptions in the extraction and use of mineral oils. For example, the working capacity of conveying and transport facilities for crude oil are impaired until their complete failure. In diesel engines and combustion plants, the filters can become blocked, which ultimately results in an interruption in the fuel or heating medium supply.
  • additives are added to mineral oils that counteract the formation of wax crystals. This prevents an increase in the viscosity of the oils and lowers their pour point.
  • Copolymers of ethylene and carboxylic acid esters of vinyl are of great importance as pour point depressants and flow improvers for crude oils and middle distillates obtained alcohol.
  • ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers have proven particularly useful.
  • Such copolymers and their use are described for example in DE-PS 19 14 756. They are generally prepared by copolymerization of the monomers in autoclaves at temperatures from 80 to 150 ° C. and pressures from 5 to 15 MPa in the presence of peroxides as initiators and organic solvents as the reaction medium.
  • the remedy is to add large quantities or to mix the mineral oil or mineral oil distillate with low-boiling hydrocarbons.
  • the object was therefore to find additives which have an even greater range of uses than the known flow improvers. They are also intended to increase the flowability of oils in which the known additives have little or no effect.
  • the object described above is achieved by a method for improving the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates. It is characterized in that mixtures of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and an oxidized polyethylene wax and / or an oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are added to the mineral oils or mineral oil distillates.
  • the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers used according to the invention contain 17 to 70 parts by weight of vinyl acetate per 100 parts by weight of ethylene. Copolymers with 33 to 54 parts by weight of vinyl acetate per 100 parts by weight of ethylene have proven particularly useful.
  • Its viscosity measured according to the German standard DIN 53019 in a rotary viscometer (manufacturer: Haake) at 140 ° C, is 100 to 5000 mPa ⁇ s, in particular 200 to 1500 mPa ⁇ s.
  • Each 100 CH2 groups have 1 to 10 and preferably 2 to 7 CH3 groups in the side chains, which do not result from the acetate residue of the vinyl acetate.
  • the number of CH3 groups is determined by H-NMR spectroscopy.
  • the production of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers is known. It can be carried out, for example, by polymerizing the monomer mixture at pressures of 5 to 15 MPa and temperatures of 70 to 150 ° C. in the presence of initiators which form free radicals.
  • An organic solvent or suspension medium such as toluene can be used as the reaction medium.
  • oxidized polyethylene waxes is understood to mean products which are obtained in the treatment of melts of linear or branched polyethylene waxes with air. These are waxes that contain oxygen functions such as carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl groups in the molecule. They are characterized above all by their emulsifiability in aqueous media.
  • the wax oxidates used according to the invention have melting points of 85 to 135 ° C, dropping points of 95 to 135 ° C and densities of 0.94 to 1.00 g / cm3 determined according to DIN 51801 or ASTM D 566.
  • Oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are the products of the oxidation of molten ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers with oxygen or gases containing oxygen. Their manufacture is e.g. described in DE 29 44 375 Al. According to the invention, oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are used which have dropping points of 80 to 110 ° C. and acid numbers of 5 to 200 mg KOH / g. The dropping point is determined, as in the case of the oxidized polyethylene waxes, in accordance with DIN 51801 or ASTM D 566.
  • the mixtures added according to the invention to improve the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates consist of two or three components. They always contain ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and also oxi dated polyethylene waxes or oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. In a further embodiment, according to the new procedure, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is used together with oxidized polyethylene wax and oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
  • the weight ratio of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to oxidized polyethylene wax and / or oxidized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 1000: 1 to 1:10. Mixtures are preferred, the copolymer to oxidized wax and / or oxidized copolymer in a weight ratio of 100: 1 to 1: 5 included.
  • mineral oils is understood here in particular to mean crude oils and distillation residues such as heavy heating oil.
  • Mineral oil distillates are hydrocarbon fractions with a boiling temperature between approximately 150 and 400 ° C. These include, for example, petroleum, light heating oils and diesel fuel. Middle distillates such as heating oil EL and diesel fuel are of particular importance.
  • the mixture of the various polymers is added to mineral oils or the mineral oil distillates in the form of solutions which contain 20 to 70% by weight (based on the solution) of the polymers.
  • Aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon mixtures, for example gasoline fractions, are suitable as solvents.
  • Kerosene is particularly suitable.
  • the amount of polymer based on mineral oil or mineral oil fractions should be 0.001 to 2, preferably 0.005 to 0.5% by weight.
  • the polymer mixtures can be used alone or together with other additives, e.g. with other pour point depressants or dewaxing aids, with corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, sludge inhibitors and additives to lower the cloud point.
  • additives e.g. with other pour point depressants or dewaxing aids, with corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, sludge inhibitors and additives to lower the cloud point.
  • Examples 1 to 14 relate to the process according to the invention.
  • Examples 15 and 16 report the results of comparative experiments which are obtained using known flow improvers based on an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer alone and together with beeswax as the second component.
  • A1 an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer synthesized by the high pressure process with 40 parts by weight of vinyl acetate per 100 parts by weight of ethylene and an osmometrically determined molar mass of 1900 gmol ⁇ 1
  • A2 an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer synthesized by the high-pressure process with 57.2 parts by weight of vinyl acetate per 100 parts by weight of ethylene and a molar mass of 2000 gmol ⁇
  • B is an oxidized polyethylene wax with a melting point of 107 ° C, a dropping point (according to DIN 51801) of 107 ° C, a density of 0.97 g / cm3, an acid number (according to DIN 53402) of 9 mg KOH / g, a saponification number (according to DIM 53401) of 28 mg KOH / g and a molecular weight of 2700 g ⁇ mol ⁇ 1,
  • C is an oxidized ethylene-vinylene-
  • the vinyl acetate content in the polymers A1 and A2 is determined by the pyrolysis method. For this purpose, 200 mg of the polymer are heated with 300 mg of pure polyethylene in a pyrolysis flask to 450 ° C. for 5 minutes and the cracked gases are collected in a 250 ml round-bottom flask. The resulting acetic acid is reacted with a NaJ / KJO3 solution and the iodine released is titrated with Na2S2O3 solution.
  • Table 2 shows the composition of the polymer mixtures which are used in the middle distillates M1 to M4 as flow improvers.
  • the polymer mixtures are used as a solution in kerosene (50% by weight of polymer, based on the solution).
  • Table 3 contains information on the effectiveness of the process according to the invention for improving the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates.
