Definitions
- the double decomposition reactions have' commonly been referred to as thewet process and the thermal decomposition process is known as the dry process.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the aforesaid conventional processes and to-permit the production of the desired end products through the use of more simple, highly effi cient and economical process steps.
- An acid to be suitable within the teachings of this invention must be capable of yielding waterinsoluble, oil-soluble normalmetal soaps.
- acids are oleic acid, tall oil acids, naphthenic acids, -2-ethylhexoi'c acid, petroleum sulphonate acids, nonanoic acid, linseed oil fatty acids, soya bean oil fatty acids, phenyl stearic acids, and ether acids, such as butoxy butyric acid, etc.
- naphthenic acid, tall oil acid and z ethylhexoic acid singly. or combination, but
- the process of this invention employs the metal preferably in powder form, in order that a large surface per weight is exposed to the reaction.
- the metal together with the selected organic acidand water, is maintained at elevated temperatures while thorough agitation is maintained. Under such conditions, there is a very complete and rapid conversion of the metal into the corresponding metal soap.
- modifying agents in minor amounts in order to impart certain characteristics to the end products.
- addition agents in amounts of as little as 1% may reduce the viscosity of the end product, which is desirable for certain applications.
- certain of these agents serve to prevent oxidation and thus instability of the end product.
- the agents referred to may also be efiective in improving the com- (1611561381161 an air inlet tube.
- reaction is complete.
- the air inlet tube is closed, the reuflx condenser removed, and the water present driven off by heating the reaction mixture to 220 F.
- Thesolution is then filtered to eliminate siliceous matter, analyzed for percent oil-soluble -cobalt, and diluted with mineral spirits to 6% cobalt.
- V conversion'of 95% of the metal is obtained.
- EXAMPLE 1a Cobalt naphthenate A portion of the end product obtained in Ex ample lis stripped ofits volatile solvent by distillation invacuum. The endproduct obtained is thus essentially free ofany solvent and is a solid at room temperature. 7 a
- modifying agents are added to the end product reaction mass. Specifically 10 grams of triethanolamine lactate and 10 grams of amyl acid phosphate are added to the end products after the reaction is completed and prior to the drivingoff of the water. The addition of these modifying agents results in a cobalt naphthenate end product which is adapted for more universal use. The viscosity of the end product and resist ance to oxidation are considerably improved over that of the straight cobalt naphthenatee'nd prod act of Example 1. 7
- the end product is a dark violet colored liquid consisting of a solution of cobalt tallate in'toluol, and may be employed as a drying catalyst in paintsand varnishes.
- EXAMPLE 3 Cobalt Z-ethyl heroate 350 grams of 2-ethyl hexoic acid (acid number i and placed in a 3 liter, 3-neck, round bottom flask, equipped with agitator, reflux condenser, and an air inlet tube. The solution is agitated vigorously, while 100. grams of water are added, together with 64.4 grams of powdered cobalt metal (92% cobalt content). The reaction mix' ture is heated to 175 F. and air passed into'the mixture at the rate of 0.6 liter per minute. After 8 hours, the reaction is complete.
- the water present is then distilled ofi completely, together with some of the mineral spirits.
- the water present is then distilled off completely, together with some of the mineral spirits.
- the material is analyzed and diluted with mineral spirits to exactly 6% manganese metalcontent. iA y'ield'of 984 grams of manganese tallate solution of.6'% metal content is obtained.
- This product is a dark amber liquid, and is useful as a catalyst in the drying of paints and varnishes'. 1
- Manganese nonanoate 361- grams of nonanoi'c-acid (acid number 345) are mixed with 130 grams mineral spirits, and placed in a 3 liter, 2-neck, round bottomflask, equipped with agitation, and reflux condenser. 60 grams-of manganese metal powder (particle size; 98% through 300 mesh screen) are added to the solution; together with 60 grams of water. The mixture is agitated rapidly, while heating to 212 F. The reaction is allowed to continue un til all of the manganese metal has dissolved (approximately 2 hours) I H The water present is then distilled ofl complete ly, together with some of the mineral spirits. There is then added grams of nonanoic acid for the.
- the material is analyzed and diluted with mineral spirits to exactly 6% manganese metal content. A yield of 985 grams of manganese nonanoate solution of 6% metal content is obtained (98.5% yield).
- This product is a dark amber liquid, and is useful as aa catalyst in the drying of paints and varnishes.

Patented Jan. 29, 1952 PROCESS OF PREPARING OIL-SOLUBLE METAL SOAPS Milton Nowak, Union, N. J., and Alfred Fischer,

17 Claims. (01. 260-414) This invention is directed to the preparation of oil-soluble metal soaps for use in the various arts.
Heretofore such soaps have generally been produced, either through double decomposition processes employing the respective water-soluble salts of the metals and the water-soluble alkali soaps of the particular organic acids, or, by the reaction of the desired acids with thermally unstable compounds of the desired metals, such as carbonates, oxides andthe like. Both of these conventional processes have recognized disadvantages. In the commercial practice of the double decomposition process, it is impossible to entirely free the end product oil-soluble metal soap from contamination by the lay-product salts of such reactions, e. g., sodium sulphate. Another drawback to said process is the need of employing as an intermediate water-soluble salts of the specific metal. Such salts generally are more costly per metal content than the metal itself. Moreover; the equipment required for the practice of this processis complicated and relatively expensive. The thermal decomposition process can only be practiced-with certain metals, but not all of them, and the economicsare ad.- verse because the cost of the metal content in the oxides and carbonates and the like is generally higher than of the metal itself.
Of the foregoing processes, thedouble decomposition reactions have' commonly been referred to as thewet process and the thermal decomposition process is known as the dry process.
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the aforesaid conventional processes and to-permit the production of the desired end products through the use of more simple, highly effi cient and economical process steps. We have beenable to accomplish this result by a distinctively novel process which we term a hydrous two-phase acid-metal fusion, wherein the metal in comminuted form is reacted at elevated temperature with free organic acid in the presence of water.
An acid to be suitable within the teachings of this invention, must be capable of yielding waterinsoluble, oil-soluble normalmetal soaps. Examples of such acids are oleic acid, tall oil acids, naphthenic acids, -2-ethylhexoi'c acid, petroleum sulphonate acids, nonanoic acid, linseed oil fatty acids, soya bean oil fatty acids, phenyl stearic acids, and ether acids, such as butoxy butyric acid, etc. For commercial reasons, especially economic reasons and quality considerations, we prefer to use naphthenic acid, tall oil acid and z ethylhexoic acid, singly. or combination, but
we wish it to be understood that the scope of this invention is commensurate with the entire range of those substantially water-insoluble and substantially oil-soluble organic acids capable of forming oil-soluble heavy metal soaps.
While we are particularly concerned with the preparation of heavy metal soaps, we have also obtained satisfactory results with other metals, such as aluminum, strontium and the like. Among the heavy metals which are of especial commercial importance, we have satisfactorily used: lead, cobalt, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, nickel, but we have also carried out preparation with many other members of the group of heavy metals.
Speaking generally, the process of this invention employs the metal preferably in powder form, in order that a large surface per weight is exposed to the reaction. The metal, together with the selected organic acidand water, is maintained at elevated temperatures while thorough agitation is maintained. Under such conditions, there is a very complete and rapid conversion of the metal into the corresponding metal soap. According to this invention, it is necessary to have water present throughout the entire reaction. This can be accomplished in various ways. For example, the process maybe carried out under appropriate refluxing conditions. At the end of the reaction period, which in commercial practice may be a matter of a few hours, it is usually desired to remove the water. This can be accomplished by distilling it off or by mechanical means, e. g., centrifuging. In many instances, we have found it desirable to employ water immiscible solvents for the end product. We have used mineral spirits, xylol and the like which are included within the reaction mass. The presence of such solvents often helps to facilitate the reaction and to reduce the viscosity of the end product, thus improving manipulation. In some cases, the reaction proceeded indifierently to the presence or absence of air, while in other cases the presence or absence of air aifected the velocity of the reaction. p
It is sometimes desirable to employ certain modifying agents in minor amounts in order to impart certain characteristics to the end products. For example, the use of addition agents in amounts of as little as 1% may reduce the viscosity of the end product, which is desirable for certain applications. Moreover, certain of these agents serve to prevent oxidation and thus instability of the end product. The agents referred to may also be efiective in improving the com- (1611561381161 an air inlet tube.
or after the reactions of this invention as they 7 play no part inthe reaction but are useful in modifying the properties of the end preducts.
Having thus generally described the present invention, we will now proceed with specific examples of practical performance.
