Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel fuel additive compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to fuel compositions containing metallic additives which are stabilised against phase separation. Metallic additives are added to fuels since they are especially effective in improving the performance of particulate traps which are used in the exhaust systems of diesel engines, amongst other uses.
  • Diesel engines equipped with particulate traps, mounted in the exhaust stream, to "trap” or collect particulates in the exhaust to prevent their emission to the atmosphere are expected to be in greater use in the next few years.
  • HC hydrocarbons
  • CO carbon monoxide
  • NO x nitrogen oxides
  • the problems of controlling these pollutants are compounded because there is a trade-off between particulates and nitrogen oxides: when the combustion conditions are modified to favor low nitrogen oxides emissions, particulates are increased.
  • Particulate traps are employed to reduce the severity of the particulate emissions.
  • the use of diesel traps and the need to improve them has resulted in a great deal of research and a great number of patents and technical publications.
  • the traps are typically constructed of metal or ceramic and are capable of collecting the particulates from the exhaust and withstanding the heat produced by oxidation of carbonaceous deposits which must be burned off at regular intervals.
  • organometallic salts and complexes to improve the operation of diesel engine particulate traps is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,344,467 issued September 6, 1994 , which teaches the use of a combination of an organometallic complex and an antioxidant.
  • the organometallic complex is soluble or dispersible in the diesel fuel and is derived from an organic compound containing at least two functional groups attached to a hydrocarbon linkage.
  • WO 99/36488 published July 22, 1999 discloses fuel additive compositions which contain at least one iron-containing fuel-soluble or fuel-dispersible species in synergistic combination with at least one alkaline earth group metal-containing fuel-soluble or fuel-dispersible species. This combination of metallic additives is said to improve the operation of the diesel particulate filter traps.
  • WO 94/11467 published May 26, 1994 teaches a method to improve the operation of diesel traps through the use of a fuel additive comprising fuel-soluble compositions of a platinum group metal in effective amounts to lower the emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from the trap.
  • the platinum group metals comprise platinum, palladium, rhodium or iridium.
  • Co-pending European application EP-A-1 344 809 describes a diesel fuel composition which improves the diesel engine particulate traps, comprising a metal salt-ashless detergent additive combination effective in improving the performance of the particulate trap.
  • a metal salt-ashless detergent additive combination effective in improving the performance of the particulate trap.
  • US-A-3,438,756 describes barium compounds provided to fuels to reduce smoking and comprising the reaction product of alkylphenol with a relatively high molecular weight alkenyl succinic acid and barium carbonate, prepared by carbonation of barium oxide dispersed in the presence of the alkyl phenol and alkenyl succinic acid.
  • EP 671205 , EP 599717 and EP 575189 disclose the use of various cerium compounds in fuels.

  • the organic compound is generally present in an amount of 10 to 1,000 ppm, preferably 10 to 200 ppm, most preferably 10 to 50 ppm (weight) of compound per weight of diesel fuel composition in order to effectively stabilise the metal catalyst compound.
  • 'contiguous polar head functional groups' is used to represent polar (functional chemical) groups which are separated by no more than three, preferably no more than two carbon atoms within the molecule.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to diesel fuel compositions which contain as catalysts for diesel particulate trap regeneration effective amounts of metallic compounds, typically sufficient to provide 1 to 200, 1 to 100, 1 to 20, 1 to 10, or 1 to 5 ppm metal (by weight) in the fuel, in the form of colloidally dispersed or solubilised compounds.
  • composition's metal catalyst compound consists of cerium or iron oxides or mixtures thereof.
  • the stabiliser compound of the present invention is represented by the generalised formula A-C-B, where C represents a hydrocarbyl chain of Mn (number average molecular weight) 200 - 4,000, preferably 200 - 1,300, more preferably 200 - 1,000 such as 400 - 1,000, 700-1000 or 450 - 700.

  • This hydrocarbyl chain may be straight or branched, but branched hydrocarbyl chains are preferred because of their increased degree of solubility and preferably the hydrocarbyl chain is a polyisobutenyl group in the molecular weight ranges given above.
  • the head grouping can be made to be tridentate, tetradentate and polydentate in surface binding ability.
  • Particularly preferred stabiliser additives for use in the composition of the present invention are polyisobutenyl succinic acid wherein the polyisobutenyl group has a Mn of 1,000, and polyisobutenyl succinic acid wherein the polyisobutenyl group has a molecular weight of 450.
