Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for preparing overbased metal-containing detergents, to overbased detergents produced by the process, and to oil-based compositions containing the detergents.
  • compositions for example, lubricants, greases and fuels.
  • the overbased detergents function both as detergents and acid neutralizers, thereby reducing wear and corrosion and, when used in engines, extending engine life.
  • overbased metal-containing detergents include overbased oil-soluble sulphonates, phenates, sulphurized phenates, thiophosphonates, salicylates, naphthenates and other carboxylates of the alkali and alkaline earth metals and magnesium, particularly
  • preferred metals being calcium and magnesium.
  • preferred processes involve a neutralization step followed by an overbasing step.
  • the last-mentioned step is often referred to as a carbonation step, since in practice carbon dioxide is almost invariably used as the acidic gas.
  • overbased metal- containing detergents to be used as additives for oil- based compositions have a relatively high basicity since this results in the most economic use of the metal.
  • the basicity is usually expressed in terms of the Total Base Number (TBN) of the product, the TBN being the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide equivalent to 1 gram of the product when titrating with a strong acid.
  • TBN Total Base Number
  • the invention is particularly concerned with detergents having a TBN of 50 mg KOH/g or more and, for some

  • Commercially available power ultrasound equipment is in many cases tuned to operate at 20 kHz.
  • the sound intensity to be used in accordance with the invention will depend on the system to be treated and the optimum value for any particular system can be determined by routine experiment.

  • Hydrocarbon solvents and/or diluent oils may also be included, as well as promoters and viscosity control agents, for example, formates and halides.

Abstract

On utilise des ultrasons pour préparer des détergents surbasiques contenant des métaux, par exemple des sulfonates ou phénates surbasiques de calcium ou de magnésium, adaptés pour servir d'additifs pour les compositions à base d'huile, par exemple les huiles lubrifiantes et les combustibles. L'utilisation des ultrasons peut, par exemple, réduire les dépôts, réduire la quantité de déchets à évacuer, diminuer les pertes de produit pendant le filtrage, et/ou augmenter la vitesse de filtrage.
