Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a gasoline additive concentrate containing solubilizers to maintain the concentrate in the liquid state at low temperatures.
- U.S. Patent 4,617,026 is directed to a method for reducing the fuel consumption in an automotive internal combustion engine by employing a gasoline fuel containing an effective fuel consumption reducing amount of an additive which is a hydroxyl-containing ester of a monocarboxylic acid and a glycol or trihydric alcohol, said ester additive having at least one free hydroxyl group.
- U.S. Patent 5,279,626 is directed to a fuel additive concentrate having an enhanced shelf life, the concentrate comprising a major amount of detergent/dispersant, a minor amount of demulsifier and an amount of solvent stabilizer sufficient to enhance the shelf life of the fuel additive package. The solvent stabilizer is formed from at least one aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and at least one alkyl or cycle alkyl alcohol wherein the solvent stabilizer composition contains more than 50 wt% aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and 10 to less than 50 wt% alcohol. The demulsifiers include organic sulfonates, polyoxyalkylene glycols, oxyalkylated phenolic resins and the like. Other components can be present in the concentrate including anti-oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, emission control additives, lubricity additives, antifoamants, biocides, dyes, octane or cetane improvers and the like. Corrosion inhibitors include dimers and trimer acids such as those produced from tall oil fatty acids, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and the like.
- Most gasolines are additized by injecting a homogeneous, low viscosity and liquid additive concentrate into the gasoline while it is being loaded into trucks at the terminal rack. Commonly such additives are diluted in ' an aromatic solvent (e.g., xylene, aromatic 100, heavy aromatic naphtha) to produce a homogeneous, low viscosity fluid which is suitable for rack injection.
- Obviously, the additive solution must be fluid, homogenous and low viscosity under all atmospheric conditions encountered at such outdoor truck loading facilities. Unfortunately, additives such as Tolad 9103 (a mixture of polymerized fatty acids, non-polymerized fatty acids and heavy aromatic naphtha, commercially available from Petrolite Corp.) is not suitable for additization under low temperature. It turns solid by 0°F within one day.
- It has been discovered that fatty acids, oligomers of such acids and the esters of such acids, useful as anti friction and wear reducing additives in gasoline and diesel fuels are formulated into an additive concentrate which remains liquid at low temperatures of about 0°F and lower by the additional presence in the concentrate of an alcohol, an amine or a mixture of alcohol and amine. The fatty acids and their esters are typically derived from naturally occurring fats and oils and includes those known as tall oil acids and their esters.
- The concentrate comprises fatty acids, oligomers of fatty acids, their esters and mixtures thereof in an aromatic solvent diluent and further a C2 to C10 alcohol, preferably a C2 to C8 alcohol, most preferably ethanol, which remains liquid at temperatures of at least as low as 0°C (32°F), a C12 to C75 amine having at least one nitrogen, preferably a C12 to C18 amine and which has a glass transition temperature or is liquid at temperatures of at least as low as 0°C (32°F), and mixtures of such alcohols and amines.
- The concentrate comprises a lubricity additive selected from the group consisting of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, oligomerized saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, primarily dimerized and trimerized acids, their esters and mixtures thereof, preferably the acid(s), in an aromatic solvent, preferably an aromatic solvent of 8 to 14 carbons, the acid(s), ester(s) or mixture thereof being present in the solvent in an amount of about 85 wt% or less, preferably about 50 wt% or less, more preferably 30 wt% or less, and a compatibilizer selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, an amine or a mixture thereof wherein, the alcohol or amine, preferably alcohol, used individually is present in an amount of at least about 30 wt% preferably about 35 wt%, more preferably about 40 wt% most preferably about 50 wt% based on the acid(s), ester(s) or mixture thereof, preferably when the lubricity additive component concentration in the diluent is about 50 wt% or less, preferably about 30 wt% or less, most preferably about 30 wt%, and the combination alcohol plus amine is used in an amount of about 10 wt%, preferably about 10 to 50 wt%, more preferably about 10 to 20 wt% based on the acid(s), ester(s) or mixture thereof, preferably when the lubricity additive component concentration in the solvent is about 30 wt% and higher, preferably about 50 wt% and higher. The weight ratio of alcohol to amine in the mixture is preferably about 2:10 to 10:1, more preferably 3:10 to 10:5 most preferably 1:1.
- The invention is further understood with reference to the following examples.
- The data tabulated below (Table 1) (blends 17 and 18) demonstrate that additional aromatic solvent (i.e., Aromatic 100 an aromatic solvent with an average carbon number between 9 and 11) does not effectively keep Tolad 9103 lubricity additive in the fluid state. There may be some very high level of aromatic solvent which may be sufficient to keep Tolad 9103 fluid at low temperatures. However, in practice it is desirable to keep the total amount of injected material at a minimum. This reduces transportation cost of the total package. Typical injection systems also have a maximum injection volume capacity. Large amounts of volatile aromatic solvents are also undesirable from an environmental viewpoint. They increase air discharge of volatile organic compounds.
- The following blends (Table 2) contain 10 grams of Aromatic 100 solvent and 3 grams of Tolad 9103 in addition to various compatibilizing agents. Data below demonstrate that alcohol is an effective compatibilizer of Tolad 9103. Exxal 8 (iso-octanol) and ethanol are both effective. In addition, BASF Pluradyne FD-100 (poly isobutenyl monoamine having approximately 70 carbons) is also very effective. Hitec4956, a mannich base polyamine fuel detergent sold by Ethyl, is partially effective. Armeen HT-97 an amine which is not liquid at room temperature, did not function as a compatibilizer. Ethomeen C/12 is an ethoxylated cocoa alkylamine purchased from Akzo Chemical Co.
- The following blends (Table 3) contain 10 grams of Aromatic 100 and 5 grams of Tolad 9103. The higher concentration of Tolad 9103 necessitates more compatibilizing agent. Only one compatibilizer was most effective. This was a 50/50 mixture of Ethanol and Ethomeen C/12. Note that this 50/50 mixture was less effective in the table above, when only 3 grams of Tolad 9103 was used. A repeat of this experiment confirmed that the combination of ethanol and Ethomeen C/12 is most effective with the higher dosage of Tolad.

- The additive concentrate may, of course, contain other typical components such as detergents, carrier fluids, octane boosters, antioxidants, metal corrosion inhibitor (especially copper corrosion inhibitors), and the like.
