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-diisobutylene terpolymer and an 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 ability of crude oil production and transport facilities to function until their complete failure are impaired. In diesel engines and combustion plants, the filters can become clogged, 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 alcohol have become very important as pour point depressants and flow improvers for crude oils and middle distillates.
- 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 manufactured 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.
- DE 26 39 672 Al describes mixtures of polymers with an ethylene skeleton and copolymers of C2bis C50 olefins, which can lead to a synergistic improvement in the flow properties of distillate hydrocarbon oils in the cold.
- 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-diisobutylene terpolymer and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are added to the mineral oils or mineral oil distillates.
- the ethylene-vinyl acetate-diisobutylene terpolymers used according to the invention contain 25 to 78 parts by weight of vinyl acetate and 0.5 to 45 parts by weight of diisobutylene per 100 parts by weight of ethylene. Terpolymers with 30 to 55 parts by weight of vinyl acetate and 1.0 to 27.5 parts by weight of diisobutylene per 100 parts by weight of ethylene have proven particularly useful.
- the average molecular weight of the terpolymers measured by vapor pressure osmometry is 500 to 10 000 g.mol -1 , preferably 1000 to 5000.g mol -1 and in particular 1500 to 3500.g mol -1 .
- Each 100 CH2 groups have 6 to 20 and preferably 7 to 15 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-diisobutylene terpolymers is known. It can e.g. by polymerization of the monomer mixture at pressures above 50 MPa and temperatures from 150 to 350 ° C. in the presence of oxygen or radical initiators in autoclaves or tubular reactors.
- Diisobutylene is a mixture consisting essentially of 2,4,4-trimethylpentene (1) and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene (2). It is formed during the dimerization of isobutylene (2-methylpropene) with acidic catalysts (e.g. ion exchangers).
- acidic catalysts e.g. ion exchangers
- the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers used according to the invention contain 5 to 54 parts by weight of vinyl acetate per 100 parts by weight of ethylene. Copolymers with 11 to 33 parts by weight of vinyl acetate per 100 parts by weight of ethylene have proven particularly useful.
- the average molecular weight of the copolymers which, like the average molecular weight of the terpolymers, is measured by vapor pressure osmometry, is 500 to 10 000 g.mo l-1 .
- Copolymers with a molecular weight of 1,000 to 5,000 g.mol -1 have proven particularly useful.
- Each l00 CH2 groups have the copolymers l to l0 and preferably 3 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 e.g. by polymerization of the monomer mixture at pressures of 5 to 15 MPa and temperatures of 70 to 150 ° C in the presence of free radical initiators.
- An organic solvent or suspension medium such as toluene can be used as the reaction medium.
- the weight ratio of ethylene-vinyl acetate-diisobutylene terpolymer and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in the mixtures is 100: 1 to 1: 1. Mixtures containing the terpolymer and copolymer in a weight ratio of 20: 1 to 3: 1 are preferred.
- the process according to the invention improves both the flowability of mineral oils and of mineral oil distillates.
- mineral oils is understood to mean crude oils and distillation residues such as heavy fuel oil.
- Mineral oil distillates are hydrocarbon fractions with a boiling temperature between about 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 terpolymer and copolymer is added to mineral oils or mineral oil distillates in the form of solutions which contain 20 to 70% by weight (based on the solution) of the polymers.
- Suitable solvents are aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon mixtures, e.g. Gasoline fractions. Kerosene is particularly suitable.
- the amount of polymer based on mineral oil or mineral oil distillates 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.
- the vinyl acetate content in the polymer is determined using 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. The diisobutylene content in the polymer is determined by 13 C-NMR spectroscopy.
- Table 2 summarizes the results which describe the effectiveness of the process according to the invention for improving the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Fließfähigkeit von Mineralölen und Mineralöldestillaten durch Zusatz von Mischungen aus einem Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Diisobutylen-Terpolymerisat und einem Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymerisat.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-diisobutylene terpolymer and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
Mineralöle wie Rohöl, Dieselkraftstoff oder Heizöl enthalten Paraffin gelöst, das bei niedrigen Temperaturen auskristallisiert. Diese Feststoffablagerungen führen häufig zu Störungen bei der Gewinnung und beim Einsatz von Mineralölen. So kann z.B. die Arbeitsfähigkeit von Förder- und Transporteinrichtungen für Rohöl bis zu deren völligem Ausfall beeinträchtigt werden. Bei Dieselmotoren und Feuerungsanlagen können Verstopfungen der Filter auftreten, die schließlich in einer Unterbrechung der Kraftstoff- bzw. Heizmittelzufuhr resultieren.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 ability of crude oil production and transport facilities to function until their complete failure are impaired. In diesel engines and combustion plants, the filters can become clogged, which ultimately results in an interruption in the fuel or heating medium supply.
Um diese unerwünschte Feststoffbildung zu vermeiden, setzt man Mineralölen Additive zu, die der Entstehung von Paraffinkristallen entgegenwirken. Dadurch wird ein Anstieg der Viskosität der Öle verhindert und ihr Stockpunkt gesenkt.In order to avoid this undesirable solid formation, 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.
Große Bedeutung als Stockpunktserniedriger und Fließverbesserer für Rohöle und Mitteldestillate haben Copolymerisate aus Ethylen und Carbonsäureestern des Vinylalkohols erlangt. Besonders bewährt haben sich unter ihnen Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymerisate. Solche Mischpolymerisate und ihre Verwendung sind z.B. in der DE-PS l9 l4 756 beschrieben. Ihre Herstellung erfolgt im allgemeinen durch Copolymerisation der Monomeren in Autoklaven bei Temperaturen von 80 bis 150°C und Drücken von 5 bis l5 MPa in Gegenwart von Peroxiden als Initiatoren und organischen Lösungsmitteln als Reaktionsmedium.Copolymers of ethylene and carboxylic acid esters of vinyl alcohol have become very important as pour point depressants and flow improvers for crude oils and middle distillates. Among them, 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 manufactured 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.
In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, daß die Wirksamkeit dieser Copolymerisate als Fließverbesserer abhängig ist von den Eigenschaften der Mineralöle und Mineralöldestillate, deren Fließfähigkeit erhöht werden soll. Bei Mitteldestillaten z.B. wird sie u.a. beeinflußt durch den Gesamtgehalt an n-Paraffinen und den Gehalt an n-Paraffinen bestimmter Kettenlängen.In practice it has been shown that the effectiveness of these copolymers as flow improvers depends on the properties of the mineral oils and mineral oil distillates, the flowability of which is to be increased. With middle distillates e.g. among other things influenced by the total content of n-paraffins and the content of n-paraffins of certain chain lengths.
Es ist daher verständlich, daß die Ethylen-VinylacetatCopolymerisate trotz ihrer hervorragenden Eignung die Fließfähigkeit zu erhöhen, nicht immer die erwünschte Wirkung zeigen. In solchen Fällen behilft man sich dann dadurch, daß man sie in großen Mengen zusetzt oder daß man das Mineralöl oder das Mineralöldestillat mit niedrig siedenden Kohlenwasserstoffen vermischt.It is therefore understandable that the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, despite their excellent suitability for increasing the flowability, do not always have the desired effect. In such cases, the remedy is to add large quantities or to mix the mineral oil or mineral oil distillate with low-boiling hydrocarbons.
Eine andere Möglichkeit, die Wirksamkeit von Fließverbesserern zu erhöhen, besteht darin, Additivkombinationen einzusetzen. So werden in der DE 26 39 672 Al Mischungen aus Polymeren mit Ethylenskelett und Copolymeren von C₂bis C₅₀-Olefinen beschrieben, die zu einer synergistischen Verbesserung der Fließeigenschaften von Destillatkohlenwasserstoffölen in der Kälte führen können.Another way to increase the effectiveness of flow improvers is to use additive combinations. For example, DE 26 39 672 Al describes mixtures of polymers with an ethylene skeleton and copolymers of C₂bis C₅₀ olefins, which can lead to a synergistic improvement in the flow properties of distillate hydrocarbon oils in the cold.
Nach der US 36 60 057 Cl setzt man Mischungen aus einem Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymerisat und einem festen Kohlenwasserstoff, der frei von n-Paraffinen ist, als Fließverbesserer ein.According to US 36 60 057 Cl, mixtures of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a solid hydrocarbon which is free of n-paraffins are used as flow improvers.
Als Fließverbesserer für Erdölmitteldestillate werden in der US 40 l9 878 Cl Gemische offenbart, die aus einem Ethylen enthaltenden Polymerisat, Bienenwachs, Ozokerit und/oder einem langkettigen alpha-Olefin bestehen.As a flow improver for petroleum middle distillates, mixtures are disclosed in US Pat Polymer containing ethylene, beeswax, ozokerite and / or a long-chain alpha-olefin.
Obgleich die bekannten Substanzen und Substanzgemische in vielen Fällen die Fließfähigkeit von Mineralölen und Mineralöldestillaten unterschiedlicher Provenienz und Zusammensetzung bei niedrigen Temperaturen zum Teil sogar deutlich verbessert haben, fehlen dennoch Additive mit möglichst vielseitiger, im Idealfall universeller Anwendbarkeit.Although the known substances and substance mixtures have in many cases even significantly improved the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates of different provenance and composition at low temperatures, additives with the greatest possible versatility, ideally universal application, are still missing.
Es bestand daher die Aufgabe, Additive zu finden, die gegenüber den bekannten Fließverbesserern eine noch größere Anwendungsbreite haben. Sie sollen die Fließfähigkeit auch solcher Öle erhöhen, bei denen die bekannten Additive keine oder nur geringe Wirkung zeigen.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.
Die vorstehend beschriebene Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Fließfähigkeit von Mineralölen und Mineralöldestillaten. Es ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß man den Mineralölen bzw. Mineralöldestillaten Mischungen aus einem Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Diisobutylen-Terpolymerisat und einem Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymerisat zusetzt.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-diisobutylene terpolymer and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are added to the mineral oils or mineral oil distillates.
Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, daß die Kombination von Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Diisobutylen-Terpolymerisaten mit Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymerisaten die Ausscheidung von Paraffinen aus Mineralölen und Mineralöldestillaten wirksam unterdrücken. Die aus bestimmten Polymerisaten bestehenden Additive wirken damit einem Ansteigen der Viskosität der Kohlenwasserstoffgemische bei sinkenden Temperaturen entgegen und setzen den Stockpunkt herab. Das neue Verfahren hat sich zur Verbesserung der Fließfähigkeit von Mineralölen und deren Destillationsprodukten, unabhängig von ihrer qualitativen und quantitativen Zusammensetzung, bewährt.Surprisingly, it has been shown that the combination of ethylene-vinyl acetate-diisobutylene terpolymers with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers effectively suppress the separation of paraffins from mineral oils and mineral oil distillates. The additives consisting of certain polymers thus counteract an increase in the viscosity of the hydrocarbon mixtures as temperatures drop and lower the pour point. The new process has proven itself to improve the flowability of mineral oils and their distillation products, regardless of their qualitative and quantitative composition.
Die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Diisobutylen-Terpolymerisate enthalten je l00 Gew.-Teile Ethylen 25 bis 78 Gew.-Teile Vinylacetat und 0,5 bis 45 Gew.-Teile Diisobutylen.
