Abstract
Description
- This invention concerns a diesel fuel having a reduced tendency to form deposits in and around the combustion chambers of diesel engines.
- Oxidation of fuel and incomplete combustion results in deposition of highly carbonaceous material in and around the combustion chambers of internal combustion engines. First, excessive deposits around the tip of fuel injectors in indirect injection diesel engines can impair engine performance leading to poor startability, power reduction, higher noise, higher fuel consumption, etc.. Second, deposits around the pistons can lead to ring sticking, bore polishing, etc. leading to power reduction, high oil consumption, high emissions, etc.. In recent years these problems have become important because of the increasing use of indirect injection diesel engines in passenger cars particularly those operating at high speeds.
- It is therefore desirable to reduce deposits to acceptable levels which do not result in impaired performance. Many products are known to reduce injector deposits when added to the fuel, whilst claims have also been made on general combustion chamber cleanliness.
- We have now found that the tendency of diesel fuels to form deposits in and around the combustion chambers of the indirect injection diesel engines may be significantly reduced by incorporating in the fuel a quaternary ammonium compound. There exist several patents dating back to the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's (i.e. prior to the development of the high speed diesel engines) which propose the addition of quaternary ammonium compounds to distillate fuels for various functions although there is no suggestion that the addition of such compounds, will reduce the formation of deposits due to incomplete fuel combustion in and around combustion chambers.
- Examples of such patents include U.S. Patent No 3158647 which discloses the use of quaternary ammonium fatty acid, phenate, and naphthenate salts in the stabilisation of distillate fuel oils. This patent relates to the problem of sludge deposition in distillate fuel oil during storage at ambient temperatures and the problem of sludge deposits causing clogging of burner filters etc.. This patent does not concern the formation of deposits in and around the combustion chambers of diesel engines.
- U.S. Patents No. 3008813 and 3346353 concern a petroleum distillate fuel containing an ashless oil soluble polymeric dispersant stabilising additive and a dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride or a dialkyl dimethyl ammonium nitrite, respectively. These additives are adapted to prevent the formation of persistent haze and stable emulsions when the petroleum distillate fuel is contacted with water during handling and storage.
- U.S. Patent No 3397970 relates to a petroleum distillate oil containing a pour point depressing amount of a copolymer of ethylene and an olefinically unsaturated aliphatic ester monomer (for example vinyl acetate) said copolymer tending to promote the formation of water haze in said oil, and as an inhibitor of said haze a dimer of linoleic acid and quaternary ammonium salt selected from dicocyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and dicocyl dimethyl ammonium nitrite.
- U.S. Patent No 3493354 discloses a diesel fuel additive containing a major amount of an organic barium compound in combination with a minor amount of a quaternary ammonium salt. The additive promotes the combustion of the fuel, thereby reducing the proportion of unburned hydrocarbons and suspended soot particles in the exhaust gases of diesel engines. The quaternary ammonium salts serves to prevent the extraction of barium by water with which the additive or fuel containing the additive may come into contact.
- United Kingdom Patents 973826 and 1076497 relate to using quaternary ammonium compounds, particularly nitrates as distillate fuel stabilisers whereas United Kingdom Patent 1432265 proposes their use as antistatic agents together with polysulphones.
- It is one object of the present invention to reduce the levels of deposits formed in and around the combustion chambers of diesel engines to acceptable levels withour impairing performance. It is a further object of the present invention to produce an improved diesel fuel composition.
- According to our invention a diesel fuel composition for use in an indirect injection engine comprises a diesel fuel and a minor proportion by weight of a quaternary ammonium salt soluble therein.
- The four residues connected to the quaternary nitrogen atom of the quaternary ammonium salt are essentially hydrocarbyl residues. These residues may be similar or dissimilar. They may be substituted with functional groups or have incorporated therein functional groups as parts of the hydrocarbyl chain.
- Usually one or two of these residues contain at least 6 carbon atoms while the remaining residues contain less than 6 carbon atoms. It is preferred that one of the residues contains at least 8 carbon atoms while the remaining residues contain less than 6 carbon atoms.
- Usually the hydrocarbyl residues are alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, aryl groups or alkaryl groups. Examples of alkyl groups containing less than 6 carbon atoms are methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, propyl and butyl groups. Examples of alkyl groups containing more than 6 carbon atoms are dodecyl (lauryl), tetradecyl (myristyl), hexadecyl (cetyl) and octadecyl (stearyl) groups. Examples of alkenyl groups containing more than 6 carbon atoms are dodecenyl, tetradecenyl, octadecenyl (oleyl), and octadecadienyl (linoleyl) grpups. The residues containing more than 6 carbon atoms can be derived from natural fats and oils, for example coconut oil, soya bean oil, animal tallow and the like. In such instances these residues will consist essentially of mixed alkyl groups containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms.
- As mentioned above, the hydrocarbyl residues may contain functional groups. Examples of functional groups which may be present in the residues are hydroxy, halide, ester, amide, ether, amine, and sulphide functions.
- It is preferred that the anionic radical is a strong acid radical. Examples of strong acid radicals useful according to the invention are nitrate, sulphate, ethosulphate, sulphonate (both alkyl and alkylaryl), sulphurised phenate, carboxylate, and borate. It is also possible to employ mixtures of anionic radicals.
- When the quaternary ammonium compound is a sulphonate it can be made from:
- (1) Alkylbenzene-sulphonic acids or alkylnaphthalene-sulphonic acids examples of which include Benzene-sulphonic acids with straight-chain or branched single or multiple substituted alkyl radicals with 4-24 (preferably 8-20) carbon atoms in the aromatic nucleus, for example dodecylbenzene-sulphonic acid, dinonylbenzene-sulphonic acid, dodecylnaphthalenesulphonic acid etc.
- (2) Alkane-sulphonic acids including Sulphonic acids possessing straight-chain or branched alkyl radicals usually with 10-30 carbon atoms, for example tetradecyl sulphonic acid etc.
- (3) Alkene-sulphonic acids including Sulphonic acids which have straight-chain or branched alkenyl radicals usually with 15-30 carbon atoms, for example 2-eicosenyl sulphonic acid etc.
- The sulphonic acids are typically obtained by sulphonation of alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, such as those obtained from the fractionation of petroleum by distillation and/or extraction, or by the alkylation of an aromatic hydrocarbon , for example, benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, diphenyl. The alkylation may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst with alkylating agents having from about 3 to more than 30 carbon atoms, such as, for example, haloparaffins, olefins that may be obtained by dehydrogenation of paraffins, polyolefins, or, for example, polymers of ethylene, propylene, butene, etc. The alkaryl sulphonates usually contain from about 9 to about 20 or more carbon atoms, preferably from about 16 to about 50 carbon atoms per alkyl substituted aromatic moiety.
- Quaternary ammonium sulphurised phenates are synthesised from sulphurised alkylphenols which have the general structure:
- Quaternary ammonium carboxylates are synthesised from:
- (1) Monocarboxylic acids including
(a) Aliphatic monocarboxylic acids possessing saturated or unsaturated straight or branched chains usually with 0-6 carbon atoms, for example, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, caproic acid.
(b) Aromatic monocarboxylic acids with single or multiple substituted hydrocarbon radicals possessing saturated or unsaturated straight or branched chains usually with 0-35 (preferably 0-24) carbon atoms in the aromatic nucleus, for example, benzoic acid, 0-toluic acid, m-toluic acid, p-toluic acid, p-octylbenzoic acid, p-nonylbenzoic acid, dibutylbenzoic acid, salicylic acid, methyl salicylic acid, ethyl salicylic acid, octylsalicylic acid, nonylsalicylic acid, dodecylsalicylic acid, tetradecylsalicylic acid, octadecylsalicylic acid etc. - (2) Polycarboxylic acids including

(b) Aromatic polycarboxylic acids with single or multiple substituted hydrocarbon radicals possessing saturated or unsaturated straight or branched chains usually with 0-35 (preferably 0-24) carbon atoms in the aromatic nucleus, for example phthalic acid, iso-phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, hemimellitic acid, trimellitic acid, trimeric acid, methyl phthalic acid, dodecylphthalic acid etc. - Preferred among the carboxylic acids are the simple monocarboxylic acids (such as formic acid and acetic acid), and the simple dicarboxylic acids (such as oxalic acid).
- Many of the quaternary ammonium salts which may be employed according to the present invention are commercially available. It is preferred to use one of those readily available compounds. Alternatively the quaternary ammonium compounds can be synthesised in any suitable manner. Since the method of preparing the quaternary ammonium compounds is not part of the invention, the preparation of the compounds will not be described in detail. It should be noted, however, that we have two preferred methods for the synthesis of compounds such as quaternary ammonium sulphonates, sulphurised phenates and carboxylates.
- In the first method a quaternary ammonium hydroxide is prepared by reacting a quaternary ammonium halide (for example the chloride) with an alkali metal hydroxide (for example sodium hydroxide) in an alcohol (for example methanol).
[R₄N](+) X(-) + NaOH ----→ [R₄N](+) OH(-) + NaX
- After removing the metal halide by filtration the solution of quaternary ammonium hydroxide is mixed with the acid HA where A is the desired anion in a suitable solvent and allowed to react:
[R₄N](+) OH(-) + HA ----→ [R₄N](+) A(-) + H₂O
- The rate of reaction may be increased by raising the reaction temperature above the ambient temperature. Once the reaction is complete the solvents and water are removed by distillation.
- In the second method the organic acid HA is reacted with a metal oxide or hydroxide to form the metal salt:
HA + NaOH ----→NaA + H₂O
- If the reaction is done in a suitable solvent (for example heptane or toluene) the water formed during the reaction may be removed by refluxing the solvent and using a Dean and Stark trap. Once all the water has been removed the solution of the metal salt is treated with a quaternary ammonium halide:
NaA + [R₄N](+)Cl(-) ----→ [R₄N](+)A(-) + NaCl
- The metal halide is removed by filtration and the solvent is removed by distillation. Alternatively, the solvent can be removed by distillation and the metal halide filtered from the final product.
- The amount of quaternary ammonium salt which is added to the diesel fuel is a minor proportion by weight preferably less than 1 wt.% and most preferably 0.000001 to 0.1 wt.% especially 2 to 200 ppm.
- Other additive materials commonly used in diesel fuel may also be included in the diesel fuel compositions according to the present invention. Such other additive materials may comprise corrosion inhibitors, dyes and the like.
