Description
FUEL COMPOSITIONS
This invention relates to additives, fuel compositions and methods for dehazing distillate fuels.
Distillate fuels, such as gasoline, jet fuels, and diesel fuels typically contain dissolved water under processing conditions. As the fuel cools, the water can give the fuel a hazy appearence. Such fuels containing dissolved water may also be compounded with a variety of additives. While these additives provide enhanced performance of the fuels, some of the additives further decrease the tolerance of the fuels towards the dissolved water. Water intolerance can lead to fuels having hazy appearance which appearance is quite undesirable.
A variety of compounds and methods have been proposed for reducing or eliminating the water intolerance of fuel thus providing a non-hazy fuel. One method includes the addition to fuel of a reaction product formed by reacting a phenol-formaldehyde resin with an alpha-olefin epoxide and then reacting the product with alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or combinations thereof according to U.S. 4,046,521. U.S. 4,002,558 discloses the use of halides or nitrates of calcium, magnesium, cadmium, copper or nickel in water miscible, fuel immiscible solvents, especially alcohols or glycols for removing water haze from distillate fuel.

There continues to be a need for additives and methods for clarifying hazy fuels without requiring that water be removed from the fuel. Such additives should be readily miscible with the fuel to be dehazed without adversely affecting the performance of the fuel.
This invention provides, inter alia, a fuel composition comprising a major portion of distillate fuel and a minor amount of additive mixture containing (i) at least one alkoxylated amine and (ii) at least one alkoxylated alcohol wherein the amount of additive mixture is sufficient to dehaze the fuel.
It has been found the additives of this invention are useful in clarifying hazy fuels, without the need to remove water from the fuel.
In another embodiment, this invention provides an additive concentrate for dehazing middle distillate fuels comprising (i) at least one alkoxylated amine and (ii) at least one alkoxylated alcohol.
In still another embodiment, this invention provides a method for dehazing a middle distillate fuel comprising providing an amount of additive mixture sufficient to dehaze the fuel, wherein the additive mixture comprises (i) at least one alkoxylated amine and (ii) at least one alkoxylated alcohol.
A wide variety of distillate petroleum fuels containing a minor amount of water can be dehazed according to this invention. By minor amount of water is meant less than about 1 percent water by weight based on the total weight of the fuel. In general, the preferred fuels are mixtures of hydrocarbons which fall within the diesel fuel boiling range, typically 160 C to 370O C. These fuels are often referred to as middle distillate fuels since they comprise the fractions which distill after gasoline. This invention is not limited, however to diesel fuels as other fuels such as gasoline, jet fuels, aircraft fuels, and marine fuels which can be dehazed with the compositions and methods of this invention are also included.
The base fuel to be dehazed will normally contain an amount of additive in the range of 0.01 to 5 percent by weight, preferably from 0.02 to 3 percent by weight, and most preferably from 0.10 to 2 percent by weight based on the total weight of the fuel plus additive. Such quantities are normally sufficient to reduce the haze in diesel fuels containing less than 1 percent by weight of water.
The additive mixture can be formed in situ in the fuel by adding the individual components, in any order, to the base fuel. It is preferred, however, to form an additive concentrate containing at least one alkoxylated amine and at least one alkoxylated alcohol, then add this additive concentrate to the base fuel to be dehazed. The additive concentrate will normally contain from 30 to 85 parts of one or more alkoxylated amines, and from 15 to 70 parts of one or more alkoxylated alcohols. Preferably, the additive concentrate contains from 50 to 75 parts of one or more alkoxylated amines and from 25 to 50 parts of one or more alkoxylated alcohols. Most preferably, an additive concentrate is formed by admixing 55 to 70 parts of one or more alkoxylated amines with 30 to 45 parts of one or more alkoxylated alcohols.For purposes of this invention, the additive concentrate can be formed using any commercially available mixing or blending equipment.
The alkoxylated amines useful in the compositions and methods of this invention can be represented by the following formula
wherein R is an alkyl group of from 1 to 50 carbon atoms and each of Rl and R2 is alike or different and is an alkylene group of from 1 to 50 carbon atoms, and the sum of x + y is an integer from 2-40. In a preferred embodiment, R is an alkyl having from 10 to 18 carbon atoms, and each of Rl and R2 alike or different and is an ethylene, propylene, butylene, isopropylene, or isobutylene group. In a particularly preferred embodiment, R is an alkyl having from 12 to 14 carbon atoms,
R1 and R2 are ethylene groups, and the sum of x + y is 2. The amines represented by the above formula are generally available as mixtures of amines.For the purposes of this invention, alkoxylated amine will be used to mean one or a mixture of two or more alkoxylated amines predominant in a preferred amine.
Examples of useful alkoxylated amines include ethoxy-lated fatty amines such as ethoxylated decylamine, ethoxylated dodecylamine, ethoxylated tetradecylamine, ethoxylated cocoalkyl-amine, ethoxylated tallowalkylamine, ethoxylated soyaalkylamine, and ethoxylated octadecylamine. Diamines may also be used including ethoxylated N-decyl-1,3-diaminopropane, ethoxylated N-dodecyl1,3-diaminopropane, ethoxylated N-cocoalkyl-1,3-diaminopropane, ethoxylated N soyaalkyl 1,3-diaminopropane, ethoxylated N-tallow-1,3-diaminopropane, and ethoxylated N-octadecyl-1,3-diaminopropane.
Alkoxylated alcohols useful in the compositions and process of this invention include one or a mixture of alkoxylated alcohols of the formula R4(0R5)W(OR6)zOH wherein R4 is an alkyl or cycloalkyl group of from 1 to 40 carbon atoms, and each of R5 and R6 is alike or different and is an alkylene, or cycloalkylene group having from 1 to 40 carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment, R4 is an alkyl group having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms; each of Rs, and R6 is alike or different and is an methylene, propylene, butylene, isopropylene, or isobutylene group; and the sum of w + z is in the range of 2 to 20. In a particularly preferred embodiment, R4 is an alkyl group having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms, Rs is an ethylene group, R6 is a propylene group, and the sum of w + z is in the range of 6 to 12.The preferred alkoxylated alcohols are mixtures of ethoxylated propoxylated alcohols, most preferably ethoxylated propoxylated lauryl alcohols.
The additives of this invention are desirably added to hot fuels containing dissolved water however, such additives may also be added to fuels at room temperature or lower. Whether the additive is added to the fuel at room temperature or lower, or to hot fuel, it is particularly preferred that the fuel temperature be in the range of from 30 o to 90 O C prior to or subsequent to addition of the additive of this invention in order to more effectively dehaze the fuel.
Conventional additives and blending agents for diesel fuel may be present in the fuel compositions of this invention or may be added subsequent to addition of the additives of this invention. For example, the fuels of this invention may contain conventional quantities of such conventional additives as cetane improvers, friction modifiers, detergents, antioxidants, and heat stabilizers. Similarly the fuels may contain suitable minor amounts of conventional fuel blending components such as methanol, ethanol, and dialkyl ethers.
Example 1
The effectiveness of the additive for reducing haze in diesel fuels was demonstrated by first preparing a hazy fuel mixture containing 150 mL of test diesel fuel and one half (1/2) mL of water. The fuel and water were stirred in a Waring blender for 15 seconds and the resulting mixture was stored at 43 o C for 16 hours.
After storing, the mixture was cooled to 5.5 ç C and observed for haze. Haze was determined by measuring the amount of light transmittance through the fuel mixture with a Milton Roy Spectronic 20D spectrometer operating at a wave length of 540 nanometers. Light transmittance is expressed as percent light transmitted. Clearer fuels are those with the higher percent transmittance.
Having prepared a hazy fuel mixture, the dehazing additive was added while stirring the fuel mixture, and the fuel was heated to about 43O C After letting the mixture cool to about 60 C, light transmittance through the sample was measured. Results of the use of two different additives is illustrated in the following
Table 1. Additive #1 was a mixture containing 54% by weight ETHOMEEN C/12 and 46% by weight ETHOMEEN C/20 (Trademarks of Akzo Chemical Co.) ethoxylated amines. Additive #2 was composed of 63 % by weight of ETHOMEEN
C/12 and 37% by weight of ALKASURF LA-EP38 (Trademark of Alkaril, Inc.) alkylated alcohol. Fuel #1 was diesel fuel obtained from La Plata, Argentina.
Fuel #2 was diesel fuel obtained from Lujan De Cuyo, Argentina.
