Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a polyol ester additive for fuels applications and more particularly to a fuels additive comprising a partially esterified polyol ester which exhibits reduced engine deposits including reduced intake valve deposits (“IVD”) and combustion chamber deposits (“CCD”) and improves the wear and frictional performance of the materials it contacts including the crankcase oil.
- the polyol ester fuels additives of this invention have unconverted hydroxyl groups from the reaction product of a polyol with a branched acid, linear saturated acid or mixtures thereof.
- Esters have generally excellent thermal and oxidative stability characteristics, and have been widely used in synthetic or partially synthetic crankcase lubricants. The art has recently recognized the potential role esters may serve as fuel additives. For example U.S. 5,427,591 discloses the use of certain hydroxylaromatic esters as fuels additives to reduce engine deposits. U.S. 5,21 1,721 discloses the use of polyalkylene esters as fuels additives to control engine deposits and improve fuel hazing. U.S.

- branched acid is 3,5,5-trimethyl hexanoic acid.
- the term "neo" as used herein refers to a trialkyl acetic acid, i.e., an acid which is triply substituted at the alpha carbon with alkyl groups. These alkyl groups are equal to or greater than CH3 as shown in the general structure set forth herebelow:
- the branched oxo acid is preferably a mono-carboxylic oxo acid which has a carbon number in the range between about C5 to Cio, preferably C 7 ' to Cio, wherein methyl branches are preferred.

- the term "iso" is meant to convey a multiple isomer product made by the oxo process. It is desirable to have a branched oxo acid comprising multiple isomers, preferably more than 3 isomers, most preferably more than 5 isomers.
- Branched oxo acids may be produced in the so-called "oxo" process by hydroformylation of commercial C4-C 9 olefin fractions to a corresponding branched C 5 - C10 aldehyde-containing oxonation product.
- oxo branched C 5 - C10 aldehyde-containing oxonation product.
- the hydroformylation process is adjusted to maximize oxo aldehyde formation. This can be accomplished by controlling the temperature, pressure, catalyst concentration, and/or reaction time. Thereafter, the demetalled crude aldehyde product is distilled to removed oxo alcohols from the oxo aldehyde which is then oxidized according to the reaction below to produce the desired oxo acid:
- R is a branched alkyl group.
- oxo acids can be formed by reacting the demetalled crude aldehyde product with water in the presence of an acid-forming catalyst and in the absence of hydrogen, at a temperature in the range between about 93 to 205°C and a pressure of between about 0.1 to 6.99 Mpa, thereby converting the concentrated aldehyde-rich product to a crude acid product and separating the crude acid product into an acid-rich product and an acid-poor product.
- the production of branched oxo acids from the cobalt catalyzed hydroformylation of an olefinic feedstream preferably comprises the following steps:
- the olefinic feedstream is preferably any C 4 to C 9 olefin, more preferably a branched C 7 olefin. Moreover, the olefinic feedstream is preferably a branched olefin, although a linear olefin which is capable of producing all branched oxo acids are also contemplated herein.

- any type of catalyst known to one of ordinary skill in the art which is capable of converting oxo aldehydes to oxo acids is contemplated by the present invention.
- Preferred acid-forming catalysts are disclosed in co-pending and commonly assigned U.S. Patent Application, Serial No. 08/269,420 (Vargas et al.), filed on June 30, 1994, and which is incorporated herein by reference. It is preferable if the acid- forming catalyst is a supported metallic or bimetallic catalyst.
- One such catalyst is a bimetallic nickel-molybdenum catalyst supported on alumina or silica alumina which catalyst has a phosphorous content of about 0.1 wt% to 1.0 wt%, based on the total weight of the catalyst.
- Another catalyst can be prepared by using phosphoric acid as the solvent for the molybdenum salts which are impregnated onto the alumina support.
- Still other bimetallic, phosphorous-free Ni/Mo catalyst may be used to convert oxo aldehydes to oxo acids.
- the preferred mono-and/or di-carboxylic linear acids are any linear saturated alkyl carboxylic acid having a carbon number in the range between about C2 to C20, preferably C2 to Cjo
- linear saturated acids include acitic, propionic, n- pentanoic, n-heptanoic, n-octanoic, n-nonanoic, and n-decanoic acids.
- the "high hydroxyl" ester employed in the present invention has from about 1% to about 35% unconverted hydroxyl groups, based upon the total amount of hydroxyl groups in the alcohol.
- a common technique for characterizing the conversion of hydroxyl groups is hydroxyl number.
- a standard method for measuring hydroxyl number is detailed by the American Oil Chemists Society as A.O.C.S., Cd 13-60.
- the ester of the present invention is characterized as having hydroxyl numbers ranging for about greater than 5 to about 180.
- the term "high hydroxyl,” as used herein, refers to partially esterified esters characterized as having a hydroxyl number greater than about 5.
- the high hydroxyl ester product of this invention can be used as a fuels additive by itself or in conjunction with other fuels additives such as detergents or dispersants, anti-oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, pourpoint depressants, color stabilizers, carrier fluids, solvents, and the like.
- fuels additives such as detergents or dispersants, anti-oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, pourpoint depressants, color stabilizers, carrier fluids, solvents, and the like.
- the foregoing additives may provide a multiplicity of effects and are included herein to illustrate that the high hydroxyl ester of the present invention may be complimented by such additives. This approach is well known in the relevant art.
- the high hydroxyl ester is suitable as an additive or admixture to a wide variety of motor fuels generally identified as hydrocarbons which boil in the gasoline boiling range of 80°-450°F. This includes straight or branched chain paraffins, cyclo- paraffins, olefins, oxygenates (including MTBE, ETBE, TAME and the like), aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols (including methanol and ethanol), or mixtures thereof.
- the present invention is preferably suitable as a gasoline additive wherein gasoline is referred to in a general sense as comprising a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon oxygenates having an initial boiling point in the range from about 70 to 135°F and a final boiling point in the range from about 250 to 450°F as determined by the ASTM D86 distillation method.
- a polyol ester illustrative of the present invention was prepared in the following manner:
- Cekanoic ® 8 acid (4 moles, 576 g) and glycerol (2 moles, 184 g) were charged to an esterifi cation reactor under a slight positive nitrogen flow. The mixture was heated for about three hours to a maximum temperature of 220°C during which time about 69cc of H 2 O were collected in a Dean-Stark Trap. At this time a vacuum was applied to strip any residual Cekanoic ® 8 acid. After about two hours of stripping, the reaction mixture was cooled and a sample was taken and analyzed by gas chromatography. This analysis indicated the absence of glycerol and of Cekanoic ® 8 acid. A total of 525 g of product were obtained. The sample exhibited a hydroxyl number of 79.
- One of the important aspects of this invention is its reduction of IVD and CCD in internal combustion engines.
- Two types of bench tests as well as testing in internal combustion engines were utilized to determine and compare intake valve deposits and combustion chamber deposits.
- the STRIDE (Surrogate Test Related to Intake Deposits in Engines) and the TORID test are both bench tests which emulate the effects of fuels composition on intake valve deposits and combustion chamber deposits, respectively.
- the STRIDE test is described in detail in U.S. patent 5,492,005.
- the TORID test was developed by Exxon Research and Engineering Company and is used to emulate the effects of fuel additives on combustion chamber deposits.
- the TORID test differs from the STRIDE test inasmuch as the sample, which is controllably heated as in the STRIDE testing, is also subjected to a controlled flash flame to simulate combustion chamber conditions.
- the results of the STRIDE tests may be used to predict the effect of fuel additives on intake valve deposits; the TORID tests may be used to predict the effect of fuel additives on combustion chamber deposits.
- the sample fuel was delivered at a rate of 10 ml/hour to a 0.3 cm ⁇ stainless steel nub surface.
- the surface temperature was cycled from about 150°C to about 300°C. Cycle time was approximately 8 minutes. Total time of tests was approximately four hours.
- Hercolube F is a tradename of Hercules Inc.; this commercially available ester additive has a hydroxyl number of ⁇ 5.
- Priolube 3970 is a trade name of Unichema; this commercially available ester additive has a hydroxyl number of ⁇ 5.
- Parabar 9440 is a trade name of a mixture of glycerol oleatcs commercially available from Exxon Chemical Company; it has a hydroxyl number of 223.
- Table 1 Certain specified compounds identified in Table 1 were added to gasoline (base fuel) and subjected to actual internal combustion engine testing.
- Tables 2 and 3 show engine test results for IVD and CCD relative to the base fuel. These data evidence a reduction of IVD and CCD in the percentages shown relative to the base fuel.
- Another feature of the present invention is improved wear and friction performance, both in the fuel delivery system (such as fuel pump and fuel injection system) and within the combustion chamber and piston/cylinder assembly by surficial coating of the operating surfaces.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention is that the high hydroxyl ester additive does not deteriorate the crankcase lubricant when amounts of the fuel additive reach the engine's crankcase lubricant.
- the high hydroxyl ester of the present invention is understood to survive the combustion chamber conditions and, upon passing into the crankcase improves the wear and frictional performance of the crankcase oil.
- the Falex Block-on-Ring tribometer was also equipped with a proprietary eddy current sensor to measure the wear rate of the block during the test.
- Figure 2 exhibits wear rates of the "used" engine oils and shows improved performance in the case of the oil from the engine run with the fuel containing the high hydroxyl ester.
