Description

FUEL ADDITIVES DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to fuel additives, more particularly to additives that increase the lubricating power of the fuel and prevent undesirable interactions with the other additives now commonly present in fuels. It has also been found that the additives possess surprisingly useful anti-corrosion properties. It is known to add a smaller proportion of a large chain fatty acid to liquid hydrocarbon fuels to increase the lubricating power of the fuel, i.e. the ability to prevent wear on contact with metal surfaces. The increased lubricating power results in less wear to the surface, as measured for example by the well-known wear mark test described in more detail hereinafter. The fatty acids that have been used for this purpose include di-linoleic acid. However, the increasing number of additives now present in fuels, and the increased dosage levels, mean REF .: 28904 that a need for additives with lubricating power is emerging with an inherently lower tendency to interact with other fuel and lubricant additives. The efficiency of the improved lubricating power for such compounds, relative to the known lubricating power additives, would also be desirable. Fatty acid esters have also been proposed as lubricant power additives. While the acid functions of these molecules are blocked by an alkyl ester group and thus are not available for interaction with other fuel additives, it is important that the efficiency of the lubricating power additive is not reduced by the esterification, so that it requires a delicate balance of properties. US-A-4448586 (for Weidig) describes liquid fuels having anti-corrosion properties for use in internal combustion engines. The inhibition of corrosion is discussed in relation to alkylene-type fuels and the ratios of reagents are such that RCOO structures are present. CH2CH2. OOCR. US-A-4874395 (to Meyer) also discloses corrosion inhibiting compositions for hydrocarbon fuels comprising a C 0 -C 24 alkenyl succinimide anhydride partially esterified with a water soluble glycol. However, the ester is then neutralized with an amine to neutralize the residual acid groups. Such acid groups are not present in the compounds of the present invention. FR-A-2169718 (for Institut Francais du Pétrole, des Carburants et Lubrifiants) describes lubricating oils comprising from 10 to 100% of esters, polyesters or esters of ethers of polyalkylene glycols represented by the formula HO (R-0) nH, in where each R is a divalent aliphatic radical of C2-Cs and n = 2-50. GB-A-1055337 (for Lubrizol) discloses oil soluble esters of a succinic acid substituted with substantially saturated hydrocarbon, wherein the substantially saturated hydrocarbon substituent has at least 50 aliphatic carbon atoms. GB-A-1306233 (for Lubrizol) discloses a fuel composition comprising a larger amount of a petroleum and a smaller amount of a dispersing composition comprising at least one oil soluble carboxy dispersant including a carboxyl group substituted by substantially saturated hydrocarbon having at least 30 aliphatic carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon substituent and a standard petroleum fraction, the ratio by weight of petroleum fraction to carboxylic dispersant is from 20: 1 to 1:10. A class of alkenyl succinic acids has now been discovered which, while demonstrating excellent efficiency as additives with lubricating power, also offer improved compatibilities with other fuel and lubricant additives. The compounds are represented by the general formula (I) where Rx is a C10-C32 alkenyl group, such as an olefin or polyolefin, R2 and R3 are (-OCH2CH2-) n0H, (-OCH2CHCH3-) n0H or -OCH2CHOHCH2OH with n = 1-10.
Ri is more preferably a group of C? 2-C26. The value of n is preferably 1 or 2. The compounds of the formula (I) can be added to intermediate distillation fuels of poor lubricating power, such as those with a poor inherent lubricating power, and those that have been exposed to hydrotreatment. or desulfurization processes thereby decreasing the sulfur concentration to 0.5% w / w less, for example diesel fuels (typical distillation range 150-400 ° C) and heating oils (typical distillation range 150-450 ° C) and also to gasolines (typical distillation range 30-210 ° C), kerosenes (typical distillation range 140-300 ° C) and heavy fuel oils (typical distillation range 300-600 ° C). A further aspect of the invention thus comprises methods for increasing the lubricating power of such fuels by addition of the compounds of the invention. The compounds of the formula (I) can be metered in quantities between 5 and 5000 ppm, preferably between 10 and 500 ppm and more preferably between 30 and 300 ppm, to improve the properties of the lubricating power of the fuels.
Diesel fuels and heating oils will typically contain less than 0.2% w / w sulfur and may contain, in addition to the additive compositions of this invention, any of the other additives commonly added as minor components, such as cetane improvers. , cold flow improvers, detergent / dispersant additives, antifoam additives, de-incubating additives, combustion improvers, antioxidants, etc. As used herein, "gasoline" refers to motor fuels that meet the ASTM D-439 standard, and include mixtures of distilled hydrocarbon fuels with oxygenated components, such as MTBE, ETBE, ethanol, etc., as well as the same distillate fuels. The fuels may have tetraethyl lead or not have tetraethyl lead, and may contain, in addition to the additive compositions of this invention, any of the other additives conventionally added to gasolines, such as scrubbers, anti-freeze additives, improvers of the octane requirement, detergent packs, antioxidants, demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, etc.
It has also been found that the compounds of Formula (I) have surprisingly useful anti-corrosion properties. Thus, in certain applications in oil refineries and cargo pipes, a corrosion inhibitor is required which will be resistant to base neutralization. The base, typically sodium hydroxide, may be present in fuels that have undergone a demercaptanization treatment at the refinery. The consequence of base neutralization is the deactivation of aggregate corrosion inhibitors and the consequent levels of rust that are typical of a fuel without added corrosion inhibitors. However, it has been found that the compounds of the formula (I) provide an effective corrosion inhibition, which is resistant to base deactivation. Thus, a further aspect of the invention provides a method for inhibiting corrosion on a metal surface exposed to a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, comprising the addition to the fuel of a compound of the formula (I) as defined above. The metal surface, typically a pipe or other metal container used in fuel transportation and / or known refinery processes, will generally be made of iron or steel. The compounds of the formula (I) can be added in amounts between 5 and 5000 ppm, preferably between 10 and 500 ppm and more preferably between 30 and 300 ppm, to achieve the inhibition of the desired corrosion in the fuel. The invention also provides fuel additive compositions suitable for use in any of the prior aspects of the invention, the compositions comprise one or more compounds of the formula (I) in a solvent miscible in the fuel, for example toluene, xylene or Shellsol (available from Shell) and optionally other ingredients conventionally used in the fuel additive packages. The compounds of the formula (I) can, for example, be prepared by reacting an anhydride of the formula: with an alcohol of the formula R 2 OH and / or R 3 OH, wherein R 2 and R 3 are as defined in the foregoing. The anhydride is conveniently prepared by the addition of the olefin or polyolefin through the double bond of the maleic anhydride by processes known per se. The invention is illustrated by the following examples.
