Definitions
- This invention relates to a composition that enables water and fuel oil to be combined into a mixture which behaves as a clear stable homogeneous solution.
- the composition may be used, for example, in forming stable solutions of higher fraction light fuel oils and gas oils and water, and finds particular use as an additive to diesel fuel oil that has previously been contaminated with water or to diesel fuel oil that might be expected subsequently to suffer from such contamination.
- biocides are added to the emulsion to combat biochemically aggravated corrosion, this adds more complications to the already difficult task of attempting to formulate fuel additives for the stable mixing 2 of oil and water. This is because the biocides are treating the symptoms and not the underlying cause of the problems.
- compositions that overcome these difficulties and allow oil and water, especially diesel oil and water, to be combined as a clear, stable homogenous solution.
- the solubilising compositions of that patent contain a minimum of three components and include a polyglycol ether of a higher fatty acid.
- the present application provides novel solubilising compositions that have improved properties over prior art compositions, particularly in allowing solutions to be formed with the addition of markedly reduced amounts of additive.
- the present invention also allows effective compositions to be prepared from fewer components than those of our above-mentioned prior patent, with the possibility of simpler handling and reduced costs.
- compositions of the present invention allow the formation of oil-water mixtures that are true solutions or behave as such. Any mixture that is clear, homogeneous and has substantially the same stability as a true solution is thus to be regarded as a "stable solution" for the purposes of the present invention.
- the present invention accordingly provides a composition for combining oil and water as a stable solution which essentially comprises: (a) an oil-soluble grade of alcohol ethoxylate having a hydroxyl number greater than
- the composition may, if desired, comprise minor proportions of (c) ethylene glycol monobutyl ether or ethylene glycol monobutyl ester, or (d) an alcohol containing 5 or more carbon atoms.
- component (c) may enhance the solubility of the composition in the oil and water mixture, whereas component (d) may reduce the volume of composition required in order to produce a stable solution.
- the complex mixture of higher fatty acid diethanolamides derived from coconut oil, or from its synthetic equivalent is to be understood as being “complex” in the sense that it contains a plurality of different chemicals of the diethanolamide species, including 3 lauric, myristic, and oleic diethanolomides in significant quantities, generally together with other diethanolamides in less significant quantities, and generally a number of unidentified ingredients, possibly including such compounds as monoethanolamides and others that were present in the original biological source or were obtained as by-products during formation of the diethanaolamides.
- "Cafion CD" (Trade Mark) is a suitable commercially available mixture, largely composed of diethanolamides, derived from coconut oil.
- the components of the composition are appropriately mixed together in amounts which would allow a stable solution to be formed on addition to the intended oil and water mixture.
- the present invention further provides a method of forming a stable solution of an oil and water mixture comprising adding to the oil and water mixture a composition of the present invention in an amount sufficient to provide a clear stable solution on mixing, and such a solution when so produced.
- the components could be added individually, it is contemplated that the composition would normally be prepared prior to the addition to the oil and water mixture, rather than being formed in situ.
- each component in the composition is selected so as to allow for the formation of a stable solution of the intended oil and water mixture.
- the exact amounts of each component of the composition required to give a solution of the intended oil-water combination may easily be found by simple experiment. Particularly improved performance over the compositions of our prior patent is found when treating 0.5 to 80% by volume of diesel oil in water. However the effective range of each formulation in treating diesel/water mixtures is reduced somewhat to avoid just an emulsion being formed instead of a cosmetically clear solution.
- the range of water-contaminated diesel oil which may be treated by the compositions of the present invention comprising components (a), (b) and optionally (c) or (d) is 0 to 17% v/v water in diesel.
- Further said first compositions show improved "additive effectiveness" (i.e. a lower volume of composition added to the water/diesel mixture will still produce a water/diesel "solution”).
- At 2.0% v/v water contamination the improvement is 12.5%, whereas at 10.0% v/v water contamination the improvement is 37% to 47%.
- Suitable alcohol ethoxylates of component (a) are for example "Neodol 91 2.5"
- ethoxylates of component (a) are those based on C and Cn alcohol mixtures, more especially mixtures also including alcohols having chains with even numbers of carbon atoms.
- Neodol 91 2.5 is such an ethoxylate obtained by the addition of 2.5 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of Neodol 91 (a mixture of C , C ⁇ 0 and C ⁇ alcohols).
- Synprol 91 a fully saturated synthetic primary alcohol which contains only C and Cn alkyl chains and typically consists of 50% w/w linear alcohols with the remainder being monobranched and predominantly the 2-methyl isomer.
- compositions of the present invention show improved additive effectiveness compared with those of our above-mentioned prior patent.
- an appropriate composition would comprise approximately:
- compositions according to the present invention for forming a solution of up to 2% v/v mixture of water in diesel comprise 1 to 2 parts by volume of component (b) per 100 parts by volume of diesel.
- a particularly preferred composition comprises about 1.5 parts by volume of component (a), 1 to 2 parts by volume of component (b), about 0.5 parts by volume of component (c), and about 1 part by volume of component (d).
- Preferred compositions according to the present invention for forming a solution of up to from 2% to 4% v/v mixture of water in diesel comprise 2 to 3 parts by volume of component (b). 5
- compositions according to the present invention for fo ⁇ riing a solution of up to from 4% to 7% v/v mixture of water in diesel comprise 2.5 to 4 parts by volume of component (b).
- a particularly preferred composition comprises about 3 parts by volume of component (a), about 4 parts by volume of component (b), 0.5 parts by volume of component (c), and about 1 parts by volume of component (d).
- compositions according to the present invention for forming a solution of up to from 7% to 10% v/v mixture of water in diesel comprise 5 to 6 parts by volume of component (b).
- a particularly preferred composition comprises about 8 parts by volume of component (a), about 6 parts by volume of component (b), 0.5 parts by volume of component (c), and about 1 parts by volume of component (d).
- composition of the present invention not only allows ready mixing of fuel oils and water but also allows the addition of further substances as fuel extenders in the oil- water solution.
- animal and vegetable oils even including tallow and butter, may be added successfully to diesel oil and water to form a clear solution on addition of the composition of this invention.
- extenders which contain water or are hygroscopic - such as alcohols (other than the alcohols of component (d)) - may also be successfully added to fuel oils to form permanent mixtures with the fuel oil.
- alcohols other than the alcohols of component (d)
- compositions of the present invention are particularly effective in the stabilisation of ethanol diesel mixtures.
- compositions of the present invention are particularly effective in allowing the formation of stable solutions that show no sign of breaking down after extended periods of time, in contrast with the emulsions formed with prior art additives.
- oil and water mixtures incorporating compositions of the invention have formed clear solutions showing no sign of separation of the components over periods of as long as three years or more.
- solubilising compositions are by no means restricted to these uses but include numerous other applications such as oil recovery, the safe cleansing under pressure of oil tanks (conventional low flash point solvents being unnecessary) and as additives to jet fuel.
- oil recovery the safe cleansing under pressure of oil tanks (conventional low flash point solvents being unnecessary) and as additives to jet fuel.
- Example 1 A series of tests were carried out to determine the optimum content of Caflon (as component (b) of the present invention) in a solubilising mixture of the present invention.
- V H V C f V NI (V N ⁇ + V cf ) ln (V H )
- V NI 1-7841 ln (V H ) + 2.2533
- Example 2 1ml water was mixed with 100ml diesel and 0.5 ml Egme and the amount of
- Neodol 91-2.5 was titrated into the mixture with agitation and the amount needed to produce a clear solution was noted. The results of three trials are indicated in the following table.
- Egme ethylene glycol monobutyl ether/ester
- titrations were carried out to determine the relationship between total additive content and the amount of Egme present for a fixed amount of water in diesel using Neodol 91-2.5 as the primary component.
- titrations which contained Egme were easier to perform. This was because of a reduction in the formation of waxy scales, sometimes observed when using Neodol 91-2.5 or Caflon alone.
- wax-like scales/globules did not seem to change the overall volume of additive required, they resulted in increased difficulty and hence increased time for blending before producing the clear fuel. This could lead to a possible problem of a temporary blockage in fuel pipes caused by these wax-like globules in some circumstances, although the wax-like globules would eventually dissolve. If a formulation 8 comprising just Neodol 91-2.5 and Caflon is used, care must therefore be taken to ensure that complete solution of the formulation in the fuel has occurred before using the fuel.
- Egme should be included, but in a very small proportion - e.g. in an amount of not more than 0.5 parts by volume/100 parts by volume of fuel.
- component (d)) was likewise evaluated by a series of experiments in which titrations were carried out to determine the relationship between total additive content and the amount of various alcohols present for a fixed amount of water in diesel, using a composition similar to the composition of Example 2 as the primary component.
- Table 3 and the chart of Figure 2 show the total volume of additive that was required to produce a clear solution on addition to diesel with a 1% by volume water content:
- Standard means the content of Neodol and Egme in a formulation of Caflon, Neodol and Egme.
- the formulation comprised the volume of Caflon in ml, as indicated in the column heading, 0.5 ml of Egme, 1ml of the indicated alcohol and the balance of Neodol. 9
- the critical size is approximately the size of the hydrophobic group in propyl alcohol, below which the alcohols have a negative effect on the additive. It should be noted that the amount of Caflon, as far as it possible to determine, is again close to the optimum expected value. It will be seen that, at certain additive volumes, alcohols containing five or more carbon atoms reduce the amount of additive required to solubilise water-contaminated diesel.
- hexyl alcohol is preferred as it is normally available at the least expense.
- a preferred composition was prepared by adding together the following components in the stated proportions by volume:
- Neodol 91 2.5 75 parts Caflon CD 12.5 parts EGME
- the new composition could be heated whilst blending to enhance the ability of the composition to hold water at higher volumes with fuel when the mixture of water contaminated fuel and composition is later subjected to high temperatures. It was noted that this assisted the new composition's ability to remain stable under these conditions. 10
- Example 5 The effect of the use of the composition of Example 5 in diesel fuel on engine performance was tested by (A) on-road fuel consumption testing, and (B) dynamometer fuel testing.
- a compression test on this vehicle's engine showed the following results - cylinder no.l - 370 lb/sq.in, cylinder no.2 - 355 Ib/sq.in, cylinder no.3 - 360 lb/sq.in, cylinder no.4 - 370 lb/sq.in. These are average compression rates for this model's engine at these kilometres, and are reasonably even. An optimum would be approximately 420 lb/sq.in for all cylinders on a newly run-in vehicle.
- Treated fuel was prepared by adding 1 ml of the composition of Example 5 to each litre of diesel fuel. The kilometres travelled, fuel used and speedometer readings were recorded in a logbook and readings were taken from vehicle speedometer and certified fuel pump meters. Different people drove the vehicle daily in different applications, thus minimising the potential of driver awareness effecting the test results. The results of this test are shown on Figure 3, in which the hatched area represents the results for the treated fuel and the unhatched areas show the results before and after treatment.
- the average fuel consumption before treatment was 42.58 mpg (15.07 kilometres/litre), whereas the average fuel consumption during treatment was 46.70 mpg (16.53 kilometres/litre) - a 9% improvement, and the average fuel consumption after treatment had stopped was 44.61 mpg (15.78 kilometres/litre) - a 4.5% reduction on the results during treatment. (The normal margin of error in testing here might have been expected to be ⁇ 3% .) Temperature variations during the course of the study may have had a slight effect on the results. However the pre-treatment test was carried out in early Spring, whereas the bulk of the test was carried out over the dry summer period. 11
- the test involved running a warm engine at full throttle loaded to 100 kph with a set quantity of fuel. A full throttle setting and governed engine speed using a dynamometer were employed to try to alleviate driver error. This appeared to have worked in view of the consistency of results that were obtained. Temperature and humidity variations during the course of this test may have had slight effects, given the interval between tests. Humidity readings were taken at the time and were very close at 68%o and 65 %, respectively.
- An especially preferred two component composition according to the present invention was prepared by blending 90ml of Neodol 91/2.5, as the alcohol ethoxylate, into 75ml of Caflon CD218, as the coconut diethanolamide, at room temperature. 10ml of this composition was added to 100ml of diesel and titrated. Then 10 separate 1ml portions of water were added and the following was observed:
- composition of this example shows the substantially the same absorption characteristics and stability as the composition of Example 5 (which also incorporates ethylene glycol monobutyl ether - also known as 2- butoxy ethanol) when tested in a similar manner to Example 6.
- the oleic diethanolamide and ethoxylated oleic acid As part of a test programme, the oleic diethanolamide and ethoxylated oleic acid
- Neodol 91/2.5 (Registered Trade Mark) as an alcohol ethoxylate
- stage 8 Absorption capabilities and stability were only evident at stages 1 and 2. Although stage 8 produced an anomaly in which the solution improved to a severe bloom, it was evident that this composition did not provide an effective composition for the stabilisation of water in diesel.
