Definitions

  • This invention relates to an overbased metal sulphonate detergent.
  • an overbased metal sulphonate detergent comprising at least one friction modifier having at least one amine group.
  • the friction modifier having at least one amine group is hereinafter known as 'amine-based friction modifier'.
  • the overbased metal sulphonate detergent is manufactured in the presence of the amine-based friction modifier so that the friction modifier is incorporated into the detergent.
  • Friction modifiers are generally long, slender molecules added to lubricants for the purpose of minimizing light surface contacts. They have a polar end (head) and an oil-soluble end (tail).
  • the tail is normally a straight hydrocarbon chain including at least 10 carbon atoms, preferably 10-40 carbon atoms, more preferably 12-25 carbon atoms, and even more preferably 15-19 carbon atoms. If the tail is too long or too short, the molecule will not function as a friction modifier. In use, the heads attach to a metal surface and the tails stack side by side.
  • the amine-based friction modifier is preferably selected from: alkoxylated hydrocarbyl-substituted mono-amines and diamines, and hydrocarbyl ether amines; preferably from alkoxylated tallow amines and alkoxylated tallow ether amines; with alkoxylated amines containing about two moles of alkylene oxide per mole of nitrogen being the most preferred. Ethoxylated amines and ethoxylated ether amines are especially preferred.
  • Such friction modifiers preferably include linear hydrocarbyl groups. Hydrocarbyl groups are predominantly composed of carbon and hydrogen but may contain one or more hetero atoms such as sulphur or oxygen.
  • Preferred hydrocarbyl groups range from 12-25 carbon atoms, preferably 15-19 carbon atoms.
  • Preferred structures are illustrated by (but not limited to) the two figures below: wherein R is a C 6 to C 28 alkyl group, preferably a C 12 to C 25 alkyl group, X and Y are independently O or S or CH 2 , x and y are independently 1 to 6, p is 2 to 4 (preferably 2), and m and n are independently 0 to 5.
  • the alkyl group or groups are sufficiently linear in character to impart friction modifier properties.
  • the overbased metal sulphonate detergent is synthesized in the presence of the amine-based friction modifier in order to produce a hybrid system that functions as both a detergent and a friction modifier. Therefore, it may be used in a lubricating oil composition as both the detergent and the friction modifier, which means that a separate, additional friction modifier may not be required.
  • the amine-based friction modifier is preferably added to the reaction components after a "'heat-soaking" step.
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising oil of lubricating viscosity and an overbased metal sulphonate detergent comprising at least one friction modifier having at least one amine group.
  • a lubricating oil composition as both a detergent and a friction modifier of an overbased metal sulphonate detergent comprising at least one friction modifier having at least one amine group.
  • an overbased metal sulphonate detergent comprising at least one friction modifier having at least one amine group; the method comprising the following steps:
  • heat-soaking we mean that the mixture is maintained, without addition of any further chemical reagents, in a selected temperature range (or at a selected temperature), which is preferably higher than the temperature at which carbonation is effected, for a period before any further processing steps are carried out.
  • a method of reducing friction in an engine comprising the step of lubricating the engine with a lubricating oil composition comprising oil of lubricating viscosity and an overbased metal sulphonate detergent comprising at least one friction modifier having at least one amine group.
  • the engine is preferably an automotive engine, especially a gasoline engine.
  • the alkyl arene sulphonic acid is preferably an alkylbenzene sulphonic acid.
  • the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal base is preferably calcium hydroxide.
  • a detergent is an additive that reduces formation of piston deposits, for example high-temperature varnish and lacquer deposits, in engines; it normally has acid-neutralising properties and is capable of keeping finely divided solids in suspension.
  • Most detergents are based on metal "soaps"; that is metal salts of acidic organic compounds, sometimes referred to as surfactants.
  • Detergents generally comprise a polar head with a long hydrophobic tail, the polar head comprising a metal salt of an acidic organic compound.
  • a metal base such as an oxide or hydroxide
  • an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide
  • Overbased metal sulphonate detergents are preferably formed from a mixture of a sulphonic acid, a hydrocarbon solvent, an alcohol, water and a stoichiometric excess of a metallic base (preferably calcium hydroxide) above that required to react with the sulphonic acid.
  • the mixture is overbased (carbonated) with an overbasing agent which provides a source of base.
  • the process involves adding the reagents to a reactor and injecting the overbasing agent into the reactor until most or all of the metal compound has been carbonated.
  • the carbonation step is followed by a "heat-soaking" step in which the mixture is maintained, without addition of any further chemical reagents, in a selected temperature range (or at a selected temperature), which is normally higher than the temperature at which carbonation is effected, for a period before any further processing steps are carried out.
  • the amine-based friction modifier is preferably added to the overbased detergent after the "heat-soaking" step.
  • overbasing agents examples include carbon dioxide, a source of boron (for example, boric acid), sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, and ammonia.
  • Preferred overbasing agents are carbon dioxide or boric acid, or a mixture of the two.
  • the most preferred overbasing agent is carbon dioxide and, for convenience, the treatment with overbasing agent will in general be referred to as "carbonation".

  • Carbonation may be effected at atmospheric, super-atmospheric or subatmospheric pressures. Preferably, carbonation is carried out at atmospheric pressure.
  • the carbonation step is followed by a "heat-soaking" step in which the mixture is maintained, without addition of any further chemical reagents, in a selected temperature range (or at a selected temperature), which is normally higher than the temperature at which carbonation is effected, for a period before any further processing steps are carried out.
  • the mixture is normally stirred during heat-soaking.

  • substantially no materials for example, solvents
  • the amine-based friction modifier is preferably added to the detergent after the heat-soaking step.
  • Products of reduced viscosity may be obtained by employing one or more further additions of basic calcium compound and subsequent carbonation, each carbonation step advantageously being followed by a heat-soaking step.

In particular, allowance must be made for any water present in the surfactants themselves.
  • the reaction medium comprises methanol, water (at least part of which may be generated during salt formation), and toluene.
