Definitions

  • This invention relates to lubricating oil additives, and to lubricating oil compositions and concentrates prepared therefrom. More specifically it relates to an additive containing a combination of a molybdenum compound and an aromatic amine compound as an antioxidant.
  • Lubricating oils as used in, for example, the internal combustion engines of automobiles or trucks are subjected to a demanding environment during use.
  • This environment results in the oil suffering oxidation which is catalysed by the presence of impurity species in the oil such as iron compounds and is also promoted by the elevated temperatures experienced by the oil during use.
  • This catalysed oxidation of the oil contributes to the formation of corrosive oxidation products and sludge in the oil but can also cause the viscosity of the oil to increase or even cause the oil to solidify.
  • This oxidation of lubricating oils during use is usually controlled to some extent by the use of antioxidant additives which may extend the useful life of the oil particularly by reducing or preventing unacceptable viscosity increases.
  • antioxidants which do not contribute to the phosphorus content of motor vehicle exhausts as phosphorus is detrimental to the performance of catalyst based exhaust purification systems.
  • some antioxidants such as for example diphenylamines cannot be used at relatively high concentrations as this may result in sedimentation or deposits in hot engine areas such as the diesel ring areas in diesel engines.
  • the invention is concerned with the problem of providing an improved antioxidant for use in lubricating oils.
  • Both US 4 370 246 and US 4 394 279 describe the use of combinations of specific molybdenum compounds with aromatic amines wherein the molybdenum compounds are prepared from the reaction of an acidic molybdenum compound with a basic nitrogen compound selected from either Mannich bases phosphonamides, thiophosphonamide, phosphoramide, succinamide, carboxylic acid amide, dispersant viscosity index improvers or mixtures thereof and either carbon disulfide or other sulphur containing compounds.
  • a basic nitrogen compound selected from either Mannich bases phosphonamides, thiophosphonamide, phosphoramide, succinamide, carboxylic acid amide, dispersant viscosity index improvers or mixtures thereof and either carbon disulfide or other sulphur containing compounds.
  • US 4 479 883 is concerned with the provision of lubricant compositions with improved friction reducing properties containing a mixture of dithiocarbamates.
  • EP0 447 916 A1 is concerned with engine oil compositions which exhibit fuel saving effects.
  • the compositions are based on the combination of an overbasic oil-soluble metal salt in combination with a friction modifier and an antioxidant.
  • GB 1 097 372 describes a synthesis for molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamates and there use in lubricants.
  • JP 51080825 describes the synthesis of molybdenum additives from molybdenum trisulphide secondary amine and carbon disulphide. The synthesis allows high purity product to be prepared in high yield and in one step.
  • a lubricating oil additive which comprises a combination of an oil-soluble molybdenum containing compound of general formula I: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be the same or different and each independently represent a C 7 to C 24 hydrocarbyl radical, X and X 1 may be the same or different and independently represent S or O, and the Mo is in oxidation state five or less; and at least one oil-soluble aromatic amine.
  • hydrocarbyl radical an organic moiety which comprises hydrogen and carbon and which unless the context states otherwise may be aliphatic (including alicyclic), aromatic or a combination thereof.

It is preferred that the hydrocarbyl radical does not contain heteroatom substitution. It is preferred that the hydrocarbyl radical is a hydrocarbyl radical of C 10 to C 18 and most preferably is a C 12 or C 13 aliphatic hydrocarbyl radical.
  • Suitable aliphatic hydrocarbyl radicals include, 2-ethylhexyl, nonylphenyl, dodecyl, pentyl, cyclohexyl, phenylmethyl, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, or t-butyl.
  • the choice of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 must be such that the resulting molybdenum compound of general structure I is oil-soluble.
  • X and X 1 are the same. It is most preferred that X and X 1 are S.
  • aromatic amine any secondary amine with at least one aromatic group; such an amine gives a synergistic antioxidant effect when used in combination with a molybdenum compound of general formula I.
  • the oil-soluble secondary aromatic amines are diphenylamines of general formula II: wherein R 5 and R 6 may be the same or different and each independently represents a hydrocarbyl radical as hereinbefore defined. It is preferred that R 5 and R 6 are C 1 to C 28 aliphatic hydrocarbyl radicals. A and B may be the same or different and may equal 0, 1, 2 or 3. It is preferred that A and B are the same and that they equal 1. It is also preferred that the diphenylamines have a nitrogen content of between 2.5 and 5% by weight. It is preferred that R 5 and R 6 are located in the meta or para positions relative to the amino substitution in the aromatic rings of the diphenylamines.
  • diphenylamines examples include di-octyldiphenylamine, t-pentyldiphenylamine, diisobornyldiphenylamine, didecyldiphenylamine, didodecyldiphenylamine, dihexyldiphenylamine, di-t-butyldiphenylamine,di-t-octyldiphenylamine, dinonyldiphenylamine, dibutyldiphenylamine,
  • distyryldiphenylamine examples include di-substituted derivatives wherein the R 5 and R 6 are different and independently represent hydrocarbyl radicals such as for example t-butyl, t-octyl, styryl, n-butyl or n-octyl.
  • R 5 and R 6 are different and independently represent hydrocarbyl radicals such as for example t-butyl, t-octyl, styryl, n-butyl or n-octyl.
  • Some of these diphenylamines are commercially available and are sold under the trademarks, Vanlube DND, Naugalube 438L, Pearsall OA502, Lubrizol 5150A, Vanlube SL, Naugalube 680, Inganox L-57 and Vanlube 848.
  • oil-soluble molybdenum compounds of Formula I are commercially available.
  • products where X and X 1 are O and where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are C 13 H 27 aliphatic hydrocarbyl groups and where the molybdenum is in oxidation state V are sold under the trademarks Molyvan 807 and Molyvan 822 as antioxidants and friction reducing additives by R.T. Vanderbilt Company Inc. Norwalk CT USA.
  • These molybdenum compounds may be prepared by the methods described in US 3 356 702 wherein MoO 3 is converted to soluble molybdate by dissolving in alkali metal hydroxide solution, neutralised by the addition of acid followed by the addition of a secondary amine and carbon disulfide.
  • the molybdenum compounds of general structure I wherein X and X 1 are S may be prepared by a number of methods.
  • JP 51080825 (Asahi Denka Kogyo K.K.) discloses a method wherein MoS 3 , secondary amine and CS 2 are reacted together in an inert organic solvent.
  • Bull. Jap. Petrol. Inst. 1971, 13(2), 243-9 discloses a method wherein sulfurized molybdenum dialkyl- dithiocarbamates prepared according to US 3 356 702 are treated in xylene solution with P 2 S 5 with heating followed by the dissolving in DMF of the resulting precipitate with further heating.
  • the molybdenum compounds of general structure I co-operate with the aromatic amines to produce a synergistic antioxidant effect it is believed that the mechanism may involve a regenerative process. It is believed that during oxidation of the oil, oxidation intermediates oxidise the molybdenum compound to a higher oxidation state. It is then believed that the aromatic amine is able to interact with the higher oxidation state molybdenum compound reducing it so that the original molybdenum compound of lower oxidation state is regenerated with the diphenylamine being converted to a quinone intermediate.
  • the molybdenum compound is in oxidation state five or less so that the molybdenum can be oxidised to a higher oxidation state. It is also necessary that the redox potential of the higher oxidation state molybdenum compound and the diphenylamine are such that the higher oxidation state molybdenum compound can be reduced to a lower oxidation state.
  • mixtures of molybdenum compounds of general formula I may be used and/or mixtures of oil-soluble aromatic amines may be used as the lubricating oil additive of the present invention.
  • Also provided by the invention is the use as a lubricating oil antioxidant of a combination of an oil-soluble molybdenum containing compound of general formula I and at least one oil-soluble aromatic amine.
  • the invention provides for a lubricating oil composition which comprises a lubricating oil and a lubricating oil additive comprising the combination of an oil-soluble molybdenum compound of general formula I and at least one oil-soluble aromatic amine.
  • concentration of the lubricating oil additive is typically in the range of 0.01 to about 15% by weight based on the total weight of the composition and is preferably from about 0.1 to about 7% by weight.
  • Suitable lubricating oils for use in preparing the lubricating composition include those oils which are conventionally employed as crankcase lubricating oils for internal combustion engines and those which may be employed as power transmitting fluids such as automatic transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids, or gear lubricants.
  • the lubricating oil may be a synthetic oil such as for example alkylesters of dicarboxylic acids, polyglycols and alcohols, polyalphaolefins, alkylbenzenes, organic esters of phosphoric acids, or polysilicone oils.
