Definitions
- the disclosed technology relates to a lubricant, suitable for use in an internal combustion engine, which containing a metal-containing detergent which provides basicity to the lubricant.
- a defined dispersant is present, leading to superior retention of the basicity (TBN, ASTM D 974) during use of the lubricant.
- Lubrication of internal combustion engines has been a practice for many decades, yet continual improvement in lubricant technology is ongoing as new engines and new standards have been developed.
- Formulations directed to passenger car engines for instance, must address limits placed on sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur content (“SAPS"), and restrictions in these components often lead to upper limits on the amount of metal-containing detergent that can be included in the lubricant.
- SAPS sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur content
- One of the benefits that metal-containing detergents provide to the lubricant is basicity (measurable as TBN), which is available for various functions, including neutralization of acidic byproducts of combustion.
- TBN basicity
- some engine tests specify a minimum TBN level remaining at the end of the test.
- TBN retention has become an important parame- ter in design and selection of engine lubricants.
- Good TBN retention is associated with the ability of a lubricant to protect the engine from corrosive wear and maintaining that protection over an extended period of time.
- the disclosed technology therefore, solves the problem of providing good TBN retention (and associated benefits) by selection of a suitable dispersant, as described herein.
- the desirable dispersants typically have a high total acid number (TAN).
- the disclosed technology provides a lubricant composition
- a lubricant composition comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) at least one metal-containing detergent in an amount to provide at least 2 TBN to the lubricant; (c) a dispersant comprising an oleophilic portion comprising at least 40 carbon atoms and an acid-bearing portion, characterized in having a TAN:TBN ratio of at least 0.8, wherein said dispersant is present in an amount of at least 0.1 percent by weight and wherein said dispersant provides at least 0.025 TAN to the lubricant composition.

Hydrotreated or hydrocracked oils are also useful oils of lubricating viscosity. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful.
- Synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oils and halosubstituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins and mixtures thereof, alkylbenzenes, polyphenyl, alkylated diphenyl ethers, and alkylated diphenyl sulfides and their derivatives, analogs and homologues thereof.
- Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof, and those where terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by, e.g., esterification or etherification, are other classes of synthetic lubricating oils.
- suitable synthetic lubricating oils comprise esters of dicarboxylic acids and those made from C 5 to C 12 monocar- boxylic acids and polyols or polyol ethers.

- the lubricants of the disclosed technology will also include at least one metal-containing detergent in an amount to provide at least 2 TBN to the lubricant.
- Metal-containing detergents are typically overbased materials, or overbased detergents, and in one embodiment, the metal-containing detergent comprises an overbased detergent.
- Overbased materials otherwise referred to as overbased or superbased salts, are generally homogeneous Newtonian systems characterized by a metal content in excess of that which would be present for neutralization according to the stoichiometry of the metal and the particular acidic organic com- pound reacted with the metal.
- the overbased materials are prepared by reacting an acidic material (typically an inorganic acid or lower carboxylic acid, such as carbon dioxide) with a mixture comprising an acidic organic compound, a reaction medium comprising at least one inert, organic solvent (e.g., mineral oil, naphtha, toluene, xylene) for said acidic organic material, a stoichiometric excess of a metal base, and a promoter such as a phenol or alcohol and optionally ammonia.
- the acidic organic material will normally have a sufficient number of carbon atoms, for instance, as a hydrocarbyl substituent, to provide a reasonable degree of solubility in oil.
- the amount of excess metal is commonly expressed in terms of metal ratio.
- metal ratio is the ratio of the total equivalents of the metal to the equivalents of the acidic organic compound.
- a neutral metal salt has a metal ratio of one.
- a salt having 4.5 times as much metal as present in a normal salt will have metal excess of 3.5 equivalents, or a ratio of 4.5.
- overbased detergents are conventionally prepared using a hydrocarbyl- substituted succinic anhydride, in a small amount, as a processing or manufacturing aid. Accordingly, a small amount of the corresponding metal salt may be present in the overbased detergent as it is commercially supplied. This minor, incidental presence is not to be considered the presence of the dispersant as described herein.
- TBN Total Base Number
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- overbased detergents are commonly provided in a form which contains a certain amount of diluent oil, for example, 40-50% oil, the actual TBN value for such a detergent will depend on the amount of such diluent oil present, irrespective of the "inherent" basicity of the overbased material.
- the TBN of an overbased detergent is to be recalculated to an oil-free basis.
- Detergents which are useful in the present technology may typically have a TBN (oil-free basis) of 100 to 800, and in one embodiment 150 to 750, and in another, 400 to 700. If multiple detergents are employed, the overall TBN of the detergent component (that is, an average of all the specific detergents together) will typically be in the above ranges, and the required contribution to the TBN of the metal-containing detergent component will be the total of the contributions of each individual detergent.
- the overall TBN of the composition will be derived from the TBN contribution of the individual components, such as the dispersant, the detergent, and other basic materials.
- the overall TBN will, in some embodiments, be at least 7 or at least 10, or sometimes even at least 20.
- the amount of TBN provided by the metal-containing detergent will be at least 2 or at least 4 or at least 6, and the amount of the metal containing detergent or detergents will typically be an amount suitable to provide such TBN levels.
- the actual amount of the metal-containing detergent (or detergents) may be 0.2 to 5 percent by weight or 0.3 to 3 percent or 0.5 to 2 percent or 0.9 to 1.5 percent by weight.
- Sulfated ash is another parameter often used to characterize such compositions.
- Certain of the compositions of the present invention can have sulfated ash levels of up to 2.0% (that is, with a lower limit of 0% or 0.05%) or up to 1.8 or to 1.6 or to 1.4%, such as 0.1 to 1.1 % or 0.2 to 1.0% or 0.3 to 0.8% or 0.3 to 0.8% or 0.5 to 0.8%.

- each R is independently an alkyl group containing at least 4, and in certain embodiments at least 8 carbon atoms, provided that the total number of carbon atoms in all such R groups is at least 12, or at least 16 or 24.
- each R can be an olefin polymer substituent.

- such hydrocarbyl substituents contain at least 14 or at least 18 carbon atoms.
- Another component of the disclosed technology is a dispersant.
- Dispersants generally, are well known in the field of lubricants and include primarily what is known as ashless dispersants and polymeric dispersants.
- Ashless dispersants are so-called because, as supplied, they do not contain metal and thus do not normally contribute to sulfated ash when added to a lubricant. However they may, of course, interact with ambient metals once they are added to a lubricant which includes metal-containing species.
- Ashless dispersants are characterized by a polar group attached to a relatively high molecular weight hydrocarbon chain. Typical ashless dispersants include N-substituted long chain alkenyl succinimides, having a variety of chemical structures including typically
- each R is independently an alkyl group, frequently a polyisobutylene group with a molecular weight (M n ) of 500-5000 based on the polyisobutylene
- R are alkylene groups, commonly ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) groups.
- alkylene groups commonly ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) groups.
- Such molecules are commonly derived from reaction of an alkenyl acylating agent with a polyamine, and a wide variety of linkages between the two moieties is possible beside the simple imide structure shown above, including a variety of amides and quaternary ammonium salts.
- the amine portion is shown as an alkylene polyamine, although other aliphatic and aromatic mono- and polyam- ines may also be used.
- modes of linkage of the R 1 groups onto the imide structure are possible, including various cyclic linkages.
- the ratio of the carbonyl groups of the acylating agent to the nitrogen atoms of the amine may be 1 :0.5 to 1 :3, and in other instances 1 : 1 to 1 :2.75 or 1 : 1.5 to 1 :2.5.
- Succinimide dispersants are more fully described in U.S. Patents 4,234,435 and 3,172,892 and in EP 0355895.
- the dispersant is prepared by a process that involves the presence of small amounts of chlorine or other halogen, as described in U.S. Patent 7,615,521 , see, e.g., col. 4 and preparative example A.
- Such dispersants typically have some carbocyclic structures in the attachment of the hydrocarbyl substituent to the acidic or ami die “head” group.
- the dispersant is prepared by a thermal process involving an "ene” reaction, without the use of any chlorine or other halogen, as described in U.S. Patent 7,615,521. See col. 4, bottom, col. 5, and preparative example B.
- Such disper- sants typically do not contain the above-described carbocyclic structures at the point of attachment.
- Another class of ashless dispersant is high molecular weight esters. These materials are similar to the above-described succinimides except that they may be seen as having been prepared by reaction of a hydrocarbyl acylating agent and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol such as glycerol, pentaerythritol, or sorbitol. Such materials are described in more detail in U.S. Patent 3,381,022.

- Mannich bases are materials which are formed by the condensation of a higher molecular weight, alkyl substituted phenol, an alkylene polyamine, and an aldehyde such as formaldehyde. Such materials may have the general structure
- dispersants include polymeric dispersant additives, which are generally hydrocarbon-based polymers which contain polar functionality to impart dispersancy characteristics to the polymer.
- Dispersants can also be post -treated by reaction with any of a variety of agents. Among these are urea, thiourea, dimercaptothiadiazoles, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides, nitriles, epoxides, boron compounds, and phosphorus compounds. References detailing such treatment are listed in U.S. Patent 4,654,403.
- the dispersants of the disclosed technology are those which comprise an oleophilic portion comprising at least 40 carbon atoms and an acid-bearing portion.
- the acid-bearing portion is typically a part of or associated with the polar "head" portion of the dispersant.
- dispersants may contain reacted/condensed acidic functionality, there will be at least some acidic functionality that is not converted to a non-acidic form such as an amide, imide, or ester.
- the dispersant may, in one embodiment, comprise a polyolefm-substituted succinic acid, ester, amide, or imide, provided the dispersant contains at least some acid functionality.
- the acid functionality may be measured as total acid number (TAN, ASTM D 974) and will typically be an amount to impart a TAN to the dispersant of at least 3, or at least 5 or 10 or 20 or 40 (expressed on an oil-free basis).
- the TAN of the dispersant may be up to 200 or 150 or 100.
- a dispersant having acid functionality may be provided in the acid form, or it may be provided in a salt form, neutralized, for instance, with a Group I or Group II metal (e.g., an alkali or alkaline earth metal). Such neutralization may (temporarily) reduce or eliminate the measurable TAN.
- a Group I or Group II metal e.g., an alkali or alkaline earth metal.
- Such neutralization may (temporarily) reduce or eliminate the measurable TAN.
- metal salts are to be considered as acid-containing dispersants, and their TAN is to be regarded as that of their unneutralized form.
- the unneutralized form may be regenerated, if desired, by treatment of the salt with an acid.
- dispersants may contain anhydride functionality in place of the corresponding acid functionality.
- anhydride groups are typically hydrolyzed and titrate as TAN, so anhydride-containing dispersants are likewise to be considered as acid-containing dispersants.
- the dispersant may also exhibit basicity, as measured by TBN. This will particularly be the case if the dispersant is prepared with an amine, such as a polyamine, and the amine contains one or more amino groups that have not reacted with acidic groups of the dispersant.
- the TBN of the dispersant may be 1 to 50, or to 40 or to 20 or to 10.
- the dispersant may not exhibit basicity (that is, have a TBN of 0 or nearly 0).
- the dispersant has a TBN of zero. Such could be the case if no amine nitrogen is present on the dispersant.
- An example of a non- basic dispersant would be a long-chain hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid.
- the dispersants of the disclosed technology are characterized by having a TAN:TBN ratio of at least 0.8: 1 (that is, at least 0.8), and in certain embodiments a TAN:TBN ratio of at least 1 or 2 or 5 or 10 or 12.
- the ratio will be considered to be at least as large as any of the above-mentioned numbers.
- Such dispersants may be referred to herein as a "high TAN:TBN dispersant” or "the dispersant having a TAN:TBN ratio of at least 0.8" or at least any other such number.
- the presence of a dispersant with any of these (generally large) TAN:TBN ratios tends to promote the retention of TBN of the metal-containing detergent, upon use in a lubricating application such as an engine lubricant.
- the amount of the high TAN:TBN dispersant may be an amount of at least 0.1% of the lubricant composition, or at least 0.3% or 0.5%, and in certain embodiments at most 4% or 3% or 2% or 1.5% by weight. In certain embodiments the amount of the high TAN:TBN dispersant may be the amount to provide at least 0.025 TAN or 0.1 TAN to the lubricant composition, and in certain embodiments up to 1.0 or 0.5 TAN. Other amounts may be readily calculated from the above percentage amounts and the TAN of the particular dispersant.
- the lubricant may also contain one or more dispersants having a TAN:TBN ratio of less than 0.8, in conventional amounts.
- the entire dispersant component e.g., mixture of different components
- the TAN:TBN ratio of all the dispersants in the lubricant, taken together is at least 0.8.
- the lubricant may further contain conventional amounts of other components that are useful for the desired end use, e.g., for an engine lubricant.
- additional components include antioxidants, friction modifiers, anti-wear agents, viscosity modifiers, and pour point depressants. These may be used individually or in combination.
- Antioxidants encompass phenolic antioxidants, which may comprise a butyl substituted phenol containing 2 or 3 t-butyl groups. The para position may also be occupied by a hydrocarbyl group, an ester-containing group, or a group bridging two aromatic rings. The latter antioxidants are described in greater detail in U.S. Patent 6,559,105.
- Antioxidants also include aromatic amines such as nonylated diphenyl amines or alkylated phenylnaphthyl amine.
- Other antioxidants include sulfurized olefins, titanium compounds, and molybdenum compounds.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,285,822 discloses lubricating oil compositions containing a molybdenum and sulfur containing composition.
- U.S. Patent Application Publication 2006-0217271 discloses a variety of titanium compounds, including titanium alkoxides and titanated dispersants, which materials may also impart improvements in deposit control and filterability.
- Other titanium compounds include titanium carboxylates such as neodecanoate.
- antioxidants will, of course, depend on the specific antioxidant and its individual effectiveness, but illustrative total amounts can be 0.01 to 5 percent by weight or 0.15 to 4.5 percent or 0.2 to 4 percent. Additionally, more than one antioxidant may be present, and certain combinations of these can be synergistic in their combined overall effect.
- Friction modifiers are well known to those skilled in the art.
- a list of friction modifiers that may be used is included in U.S. Patents 4,792,410, 5,395,539, 5,484,543 and 6,660,695.

- a list of supplemental friction modifiers that may be used may include:
- antiwear agent Another additive is an antiwear agent.
- anti-wear agents include phosphorus-containing antiwear/extreme pressure agents such as metal thiophosphates, phosphoric acid esters and salts thereof, phosphorus-containing carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, and amides; and phosphites.
- a phosphorus antiwear agent may be present in an amount to deliver 0.01 to 0.2 or 0.015 to 0.15 or 0.02 to 0.1 or 0.025 to 0.08 percent phosphorus.
- the antiwear agent is a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDP).
- ZDP zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate
- suitable amounts may include 0.09 to 0.82 percent.
- Non-phosphorus-containing anti-wear agents include borate esters (including borated epoxides), dithiocarbamate compounds, molybdenum-containing compounds, and sulfurized olefins.
- antiwear agents include tartrate esters, tartramides, and tartrimides, such as oleyl tartrimide, as well as esters, amides, and imides of hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids in general. These materials may also impart additional functionality to a lubricant beyond antiwear performance, sometimes or especially in the presence of some ZDP. These materials are described in greater detail in US Publication 2006-0079413 and PCT publication WO2010/077630.

- the VMs and/or DVMs may be used in the functional fluid at a concentration of up to 20% by weight. Concentrations of 1 to 12%, or 3 to 10%> by weight may be used.
- Pour point depressants may include alkylphenols and derivatives thereof, or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, and mixtures thereof.
- additives that may optionally be used in lubricating oils include extreme pressure agents, color stabilizers and anti-foam agents.
- the lubricants described herein may be used for the lubrication of mechanical devices, especially those mechanical devices, such as internal combustion engines, for which the presence and retention of basicity (TBN) is desirable.
- Such engines include those fueled by gasoline, diesel fuel, alcohol, gasoline- alcohol mixtures, and biodiesel fuels.
- the lubricant is often supplied from a sump.
- the lubricant may be supplied from a storage vessel.
- the amount of each chemical component described is presented exclusive of any solvent or diluent oil, which may be customarily present in the commercial material, that is, on an active chemical basis, unless otherwise indicated.
- each chemical or composition referred to herein should be interpreted as being a commercial grade material which may contain the isomers, by-products, derivatives, and other such materials which are normally understood to be present in the commercial grade.
- hydrocarbyl substituent or “hydrocarbyl group” is used in its ordinary sense, which is well-known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, it refers to a group having a carbon atom directly attached to the remainder of the molecule and having predominantly hydrocarbon character.
- hydrocarbyl groups include: hydrocarbon substituents, including aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic substituents; substituted hydrocarbon substituents, that is, substituents containing non-hydrocarbon groups which, in the con- text of this invention, do not alter the predominantly hydrocarbon nature of the substituent; and hetero substituents, that is, substituents which similarly have a predominantly hydrocarbon character but contain other than carbon in a ring or chain.
- TBN neutralization/ retention is determined by a stopped-flow neutralization test. This test uses a technique called stopped-flow kinetics, which rapidly mixes an acid-containing solution (or mixture) with a secondary solution, in this case, containing the mixture of detergent and dispersant to be tested.
- the detergent/dispersant solution is made by diluting the corresponding concentrated additives in a hydrocarbon solvent. The dilution range, or concentration, is chosen to give a suitable total reaction time, typically between 0.1 and 5 seconds.
- the acid-containing solution is a dispersion of aqueous sulfuric acid droplets in the same hydrocarbon solvent.
- the concentration of sulfuric acid within the aqueous phase is 0.05 M.
- a water-soluble pH-sensitive dye is also added to the dispersed aqueous phase.
- the spectrometer monitors the color and color change of the dye over a few seconds (typically about 10 seconds) as the basic detergent neutralizes the sulfuric acid.
- a rate constant is thereby determined from the rate of color change, and rate constants are determined over a range of TBN values.
- the overall rate of acid neutralization (that is, the rate constant per unit of TBN) is determined from the gradient of the relationship between TBN and rate constant, with units of s ⁇ TBN "1 .
- the amount of dispersant is about 2x the amount of detergent. (The neutralization rate numbers are not corrected for the amount of diluent oil present, but the TAN and TBN values for the dispersants are corrected.)
