PACKAGE USING OVERBASED CALCIUM OLEATE
Inventor: Carl Esche TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]The present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions, their method of preparation, and use. More specifically, this invention relates to an oil soluble lubricating additive package to achieve low sulfur, low ash, and low phosphorus levels in fully formulated oil.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Combustion engines generate emissions that can pollute our environment.
In response to increasing regulation and environmental concerns, engine manufacturers have recognized the need to reduce engine emissions. In an effort to reduce emissions in exhaust gases, manufacturers have used particulate traps and catalytic converters.
However, the lubricating oil used in the engine is oftentimes detrimental to devices such as catalytic converters or particulate traps. For example, phosphorus present in the lubricating oil is believed to interfere with catalytic efficiency. Further, it is believed that sulfur present in the lubricating oil, after oxidation and neutralization, may form sulfates that plug exhaust gas traps thereby preventing them from oxidizing and burning off trapped organic particulate matter. Accordingly, engine manufacturers are requiring lubricating oils that have lower and lower sulfur, ash, and phosphorus levels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In accordance with the foregoing summary, the following presents a detailed description of the preferred embodiments that are currently considered to be or include the best mode.
[0036]We begin with a discussion of the various components employed in the present invention. Then we shall present an oil formulation based upon the oil soluble additive package of the present invention. Finally, we conclude with a comparison of the inventive oil formulation against a control formulation in the CAT 1 N engine test.
EI'-7581 BASE OIL
(0037]The base oils useful herein include natural lubricating oils, synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. Suitable lubricating oils also include basestocks obtained by isomerization of synthetic wax and stack wax, as well as basestocks produced by hydrocracking the aromatic and polar components of the crude. In general, both the natural and synthetic lubricating oils will each have a kinematic viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 40 mm2/s (cSt) at 100° C, although typical applications will require each of the base oils to have a viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 12, preferably 2 to 8, mmZ/s (cSt) at 100° C.
[0038] Natural lubricating oils include animal oils, vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil and lard oil}, petroleum oils, mineral oils, and oils derived from coal or shale. The preferred natural lubricating oil is mineral oil.
[0039] The mineral oils useful herein include all common mineral oil base stocks. This would include oils that are naphthenic or paraffinic in chemical.structure.
Oils that are refined by conventional methodology using acid, alkali, and clay or other agents such as aluminum chloride, or be extracted oils produced, for example, by solvent extraction with solvents such as phenol, sulfur dioxide, furfural, dichiorodiethyl ether, etc. They may be hydrotreated or hydrorefined, dewaxed by chilling or catalytic dewaxing processes, or hydrocracked. The mineral oil may be produced from natural crude sources or be composed of isomerized wax materials or residues of other refining processes. In a preferred embodiment, the oil of lubricating viscosity is a hydrotreated, hydrocracked andJor iso-dewaxed mineral oil having a ~Jiscosity Index (o/I) of greater than 80, preferably greater than 90; greater than 90 volume % saturates and less than 0.03 wt. % sulfur.
[0040] Group II and Group III basestocks are particularly suitable for use in the present invention, and are typically prepared from conventional feedstocks using a severe hydrogenation step to reduce the aromatic, sulfur and nitrogen content, followed by dewaxing, hydrofinishing, extraction andlor distillation steps to produce the finished base oil. Group il and III basestocks differ from conventional solvent refined Group I
basestocks in that their sulfur, nitrogen and aromatic contents are very low.
As a result, these base oils are compositionally very different from conventional solvent refined basestocks. The American Petroleum institute has categorized these different basestock types as follows: Group I, >0.03 wt. % sulfur, and/or <90 vol% saturates, viscosity index between 80 and 120; Group II, < 0.03 wt. % sulfur, and > 90 vol% saturates, viscosity index between 80 and 120; Group III, < 0.03 wt. % sulfur, and > 90 vol%
saturates, viscosity index > 120; Group IV, poly-alpha-olefins. Hydrotreated basestocks and catalytically dewaxed basestocks, because of their low sulfur and aromatics content, generally fall into the Group Il and Group Ill categories.
[0041]There is no limitation as to the chemical composition of the various basestocks used in the present invention. For example, the proportians of aromatics, paraffinics, and naphthenics in the various Group I, Group ll and Group 111 oils can vary substantially. The degree of refining and the source of the crude used to produce the oil generally determine this composition.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the base oil comprises a mineral oil having a VI of at least 110.
[0043]The lubricating oils may be derived from refined, re-refined oils, or mixtures thereof. Unrefined oils are obtained directly from a natural source or synthetic source (e.g., coal, shale, or tar sands bitumen) without further purification or treatment.
Examples of unrefined oils include shale oil obtained directly from a retorting operation, petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation, or an ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process, each of which is then used without further treatment.
Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except that refined oils have been treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Suitable purification techniques include distillation, hydrotreating, dewaxing, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration, and percolation, all of which are known to those skilled in the art. Re-refined oils are obtained by treating used oils in processes similar to those used to obtain the refined oils. These re-refined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and are often additionally processed by techniques for removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products.
[0044]Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as oligomerized, polymerized, and interpolymerized olefins;
alkylbenzenes; polyphenyls; and alkylated Biphenyl ethers, alkylated Biphenyl sulfides, as well as their derivatives, analogs, and homologs thereof, and the like.
Preferred synthetic oils are oligomers of cz olefins, particularly oligomers of 1-decene, having a viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 12, preferably 2 to 8, mm2ls (cSt) at 100° C.
These oligomers are known as poly-a olefins or PAOs.
[0045]Synthetic lubricating oils also include alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers, copolymers, and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc. This class of synthetic oils is exemplified by polyoxyalkylene polymers prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide; the alkyl and aryl ethers of these pofyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, Biphenyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 100-1500); and mono-and poly-carboxylic esters thereof (e.g., the acetic acid esters, mixed C3-Ca fatty acid esters, and C12 oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol).
[0046]Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, malefic acid, azelaic acid, subric acid, sebasic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, ma(onic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids, etc.) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethers, propylene glycol, etc.). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyP adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl isothalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester fom~ed by reacting one mole of sebasic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two motes of 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, and the like. A
preferred type of oil from this class of synthetic oils is adipates of C4 to C~2 alcohols.
[0047] Esters useful as synthetic lubricating oils also include those made from C5 to C~2 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane pentaeythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, and the like.
[0048] Silicon-based oils (such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils) comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricating oils.
These oils include tetra-ethyl silicate, tetra-isopropyl silicate, tetra-(~-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2-pentoxy)-disiloxane, poly(methyl)-siloxanes and poly (methylphenyl) sifoxanes, and the like. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctylphosphate, and diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid), polymeric tetra-hydrofurans, poly-alpha-olefins, and the like.
OVERBASED METAL CARBO~CYLATE
[0049JThe oil soluble lubricating additive package taught herein contain at least one metal salt of an acidic organic compound. These salts are generally referred to as overbased materials or overbased metal salts. Overbased materials can be single phase, homogeneous Newtonian systems characterized by a metal content in excess of that which would be present according to the stoichiometry of the metal and the particular acidic organic compound reacted with the metal.
[0050]The amount of excess metal is commonly expressed in terms of metal ratio. The term "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 a 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.
[0051]The overbased metal salts used in one embodiment herein are prepared by reacting an acidic material (typically an inorganic acid or lower carboxylic acid, preferably carbon dioxide) with a mixture comprising an acidic organic compound, a reaction medium comprising at least one inert, organic solvent (mineral oil, naptha, toluene, xylene, etc.) for the acidic organic compound, a stoichiometric excess of a metal base, and a promoter.
[0052]The metals useful in making the overbased compositions herein can include, for example, magnesium and calcium, as well as any other suitable or desirable metal or mixture of metals.
[0053]The acidic compounds useful in making the overbased compositions of the present invention can include, for example, carboxylic acids. The carboxylic acids may be aliphatic or aromatic, mono- or polycarboxylic acid, or acid-producing compounds.
These carboxylic acids can include lower molecular weight carboxylic acids (e.g., carboxylic acids having about 22 carbon atoms such as acids having about 4 to about 22 carbon atoms or tetrapropenyl-substituted succinic anhydride) as well as higher molecular weight carboxylic acids.
[0054JThe carboxylic acids are preferably oil soluble. Usually, in order to provide the desired oil-solubility, the number of carbon atoms in the carboxlyic acid should be at least about 8, more preferably at least about 18, more preferably at least about 30, even more preferably at least about 50. Generally, these carboxylic acids do not contain more than about 400 carbon atoms per molecule.
[0055] The lower molecular weight monocarboxylic acids contemplated for use herein can include saturated and unsaturated acids. Examples of such useful acids include dodecanoic acid, decanoic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, tall oil acid, etc.
Mixtures of two or more such agents can also be used.

Detergents typically possess acid-neutralizing properties and are capable of keeping finely divided solids in suspension. Metal detergents are used preferably for improving the acid-neutralizing properties, high-temperature detergency, and anti-wear properties of the resulting lubricating oil composition.
[0059] Detergents used in the present invention may be any detergent used in lubricating oil formulations, and may be of the ash-producing or ashless variety.
Detergents suitable for use in the present invention include all of the detergents customarily used in lubricating oils, including metal detergents. Specific examples of metal detergents are those selected from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal sulfonates, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal phenates, and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salicylates.

DISPERSANTS
[0061] Dispersants used in the present invention may be ash-producing or ashiess.
Suitable dispersants for use herein typically comprise amine, alcohol, amide, or ester polar moieties attached to the polymer backbone via a bridging group. The dispersant may be, for example, selected from oil soluble salts, esters, amino-esters, amides, amides, and oxazolines of long chain hydrocarbon substituted mono- and dicarboxlyic acids or their anhydrides; thiocarboxylate derivatives of chain hydrocarbons;
long chain aliphatic hydrocarbons having a polyamine attached directly thereto; and Mannich condensation products formed by condensing a long chain substituted phenol with formaldehyde and polyalkylene polyamine, and Koch reaction products.

Preferably such antioxidants are metal free (that is, free of metals which are capable of generating sulfated ash), and therefore are most preferably ashless (having a sulfated ash value not greater than 1 wt.
SASH, as determined by ASTM D874).
[0064] Further, zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are well known antioxidants_ Specific examples of preferred zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are zinc dipropyldithiophosphate, zinc dibutyldithiophosphate, zinc dipentyldithiophosphate, zinc dihexyldithiophosphate, zinc diheptyldithiophosphate, and zinc dioctyldithiophosphate, of which alkyl groups may be straight-chain or branched, and mixtures thereof.

VISCOSITY INDEX IMPROVERS
[0069]Viscosity index improvers impart high and low temperature operability to the lubricating oil and permit it to remain relatively viscous at elevated temperatures and also exhibit acceptable viscosity or fluidity at low temperatures. Viscosity index improvers are generally high molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers including polyesters. The viscosity index improvers may also be derivatized to include other properties or functions, such as the addition of dispersancy properties. These oil soluble viscosity modifying polymers will generally have number average molecular weights of from 103 to 106, preferably 104 to 106, as determined by gel permeation chromatography or osmometry.

[0073]The CAT 1 N engine test is a commonly used test for evaluating the acceptability of heavy-duty diesel engine oils for Caterpillar engines. The test employs a single cylinder diesel engine with an aluminum piston. The acceptability of an oil formulation is based upon the following parameters: average oil consumption, piston deposits, % top groove fill, % top land heavy carbon. Further, in order to pass the CAT 1 N
diesel test, no stuck pistons, piston rings or liner distress is permitted.
[0074JTo determine the efficacy of the inventive additive, a control formulation comprising a non-sulfurized phenate prepared by a Mannich reaction between an alkylphenol and a polyamine was compared to a formulation wherein the non-sulfurized phenate was replaced with overbased calcium oleate in a prototype iow sulfur, low.ash, low phosphorus 15W-40 motor oil.

These results demonstrate the improved performance imparted to the formulated oil by the inclusion of the overbased calcium oleate.
[0077] White the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to ~be the most pracf~cai and preferred embodiments, ibis to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment(s), but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended clairns, which are incorporated herein by reference.
(0037]The base oils useful herein include natural lubricating oils, synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. Suitable lubricating oils also include basestocks obtained by isomerization of synthetic wax and stack wax, as well as basestocks produced by hydrocracking the aromatic and polar components of the crude. In general, both the natural and synthetic lubricating oils will each have a kinematic viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 40 mm2/s (cSt) at 100° C, although typical applications will require each of the base oils to have a viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 12, preferably 2 to 8, mmZ/s (cSt) at 100° C.
[0038] Natural lubricating oils include animal oils, vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil and lard oil}, petroleum oils, mineral oils, and oils derived from coal or shale. The preferred natural lubricating oil is mineral oil.
[0039] The mineral oils useful herein include all common mineral oil base stocks. This would include oils that are naphthenic or paraffinic in chemical.structure.
Oils that are refined by conventional methodology using acid, alkali, and clay or other agents such as aluminum chloride, or be extracted oils produced, for example, by solvent extraction with solvents such as phenol, sulfur dioxide, furfural, dichiorodiethyl ether, etc. They may be hydrotreated or hydrorefined, dewaxed by chilling or catalytic dewaxing processes, or hydrocracked. The mineral oil may be produced from natural crude sources or be composed of isomerized wax materials or residues of other refining processes. In a preferred embodiment, the oil of lubricating viscosity is a hydrotreated, hydrocracked andJor iso-dewaxed mineral oil having a ~Jiscosity Index (o/I) of greater than 80, preferably greater than 90; greater than 90 volume % saturates and less than 0.03 wt. % sulfur.
[0040] Group II and Group III basestocks are particularly suitable for use in the present invention, and are typically prepared from conventional feedstocks using a severe hydrogenation step to reduce the aromatic, sulfur and nitrogen content, followed by dewaxing, hydrofinishing, extraction andlor distillation steps to produce the finished base oil. Group il and III basestocks differ from conventional solvent refined Group I
basestocks in that their sulfur, nitrogen and aromatic contents are very low.
As a result, these base oils are compositionally very different from conventional solvent refined basestocks. The American Petroleum institute has categorized these different basestock types as follows: Group I, >0.03 wt. % sulfur, and/or <90 vol% saturates, viscosity index between 80 and 120; Group II, < 0.03 wt. % sulfur, and > 90 vol% saturates, viscosity index between 80 and 120; Group III, < 0.03 wt. % sulfur, and > 90 vol%
saturates, viscosity index > 120; Group IV, poly-alpha-olefins. Hydrotreated basestocks and catalytically dewaxed basestocks, because of their low sulfur and aromatics content, generally fall into the Group Il and Group Ill categories.
[0041]There is no limitation as to the chemical composition of the various basestocks used in the present invention. For example, the proportians of aromatics, paraffinics, and naphthenics in the various Group I, Group ll and Group 111 oils can vary substantially. The degree of refining and the source of the crude used to produce the oil generally determine this composition.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the base oil comprises a mineral oil having a VI of at least 110.
[0043]The lubricating oils may be derived from refined, re-refined oils, or mixtures thereof. Unrefined oils are obtained directly from a natural source or synthetic source (e.g., coal, shale, or tar sands bitumen) without further purification or treatment.
Examples of unrefined oils include shale oil obtained directly from a retorting operation, petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation, or an ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process, each of which is then used without further treatment.
Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except that refined oils have been treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Suitable purification techniques include distillation, hydrotreating, dewaxing, solvent extraction, acid or base extraction, filtration, and percolation, all of which are known to those skilled in the art. Re-refined oils are obtained by treating used oils in processes similar to those used to obtain the refined oils. These re-refined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and are often additionally processed by techniques for removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products.
[0044]Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as oligomerized, polymerized, and interpolymerized olefins;
alkylbenzenes; polyphenyls; and alkylated Biphenyl ethers, alkylated Biphenyl sulfides, as well as their derivatives, analogs, and homologs thereof, and the like.
Preferred synthetic oils are oligomers of cz olefins, particularly oligomers of 1-decene, having a viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 12, preferably 2 to 8, mm2ls (cSt) at 100° C.
These oligomers are known as poly-a olefins or PAOs.
[0045]Synthetic lubricating oils also include alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers, copolymers, and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc. This class of synthetic oils is exemplified by polyoxyalkylene polymers prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide; the alkyl and aryl ethers of these pofyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, Biphenyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 100-1500); and mono-and poly-carboxylic esters thereof (e.g., the acetic acid esters, mixed C3-Ca fatty acid esters, and C12 oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol).
[0046]Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, malefic acid, azelaic acid, subric acid, sebasic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, ma(onic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids, etc.) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethers, propylene glycol, etc.). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyP adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl isothalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester fom~ed by reacting one mole of sebasic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two motes of 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, and the like. A
preferred type of oil from this class of synthetic oils is adipates of C4 to C~2 alcohols.
[0047] Esters useful as synthetic lubricating oils also include those made from C5 to C~2 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane pentaeythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, and the like.
[0048] Silicon-based oils (such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils) comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricating oils.
These oils include tetra-ethyl silicate, tetra-isopropyl silicate, tetra-(~-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2-pentoxy)-disiloxane, poly(methyl)-siloxanes and poly (methylphenyl) sifoxanes, and the like. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctylphosphate, and diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid), polymeric tetra-hydrofurans, poly-alpha-olefins, and the like.
OVERBASED METAL CARBO~CYLATE
[0049JThe oil soluble lubricating additive package taught herein contain at least one metal salt of an acidic organic compound. These salts are generally referred to as overbased materials or overbased metal salts. Overbased materials can be single phase, homogeneous Newtonian systems characterized by a metal content in excess of that which would be present according to the stoichiometry of the metal and the particular acidic organic compound reacted with the metal.
[0050]The amount of excess metal is commonly expressed in terms of metal ratio. The term "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 a 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.
[0051]The overbased metal salts used in one embodiment herein are prepared by reacting an acidic material (typically an inorganic acid or lower carboxylic acid, preferably carbon dioxide) with a mixture comprising an acidic organic compound, a reaction medium comprising at least one inert, organic solvent (mineral oil, naptha, toluene, xylene, etc.) for the acidic organic compound, a stoichiometric excess of a metal base, and a promoter.
[0052]The metals useful in making the overbased compositions herein can include, for example, magnesium and calcium, as well as any other suitable or desirable metal or mixture of metals.
[0053]The acidic compounds useful in making the overbased compositions of the present invention can include, for example, carboxylic acids. The carboxylic acids may be aliphatic or aromatic, mono- or polycarboxylic acid, or acid-producing compounds.
These carboxylic acids can include lower molecular weight carboxylic acids (e.g., carboxylic acids having about 22 carbon atoms such as acids having about 4 to about 22 carbon atoms or tetrapropenyl-substituted succinic anhydride) as well as higher molecular weight carboxylic acids.
[0054JThe carboxylic acids are preferably oil soluble. Usually, in order to provide the desired oil-solubility, the number of carbon atoms in the carboxlyic acid should be at least about 8, more preferably at least about 18, more preferably at least about 30, even more preferably at least about 50. Generally, these carboxylic acids do not contain more than about 400 carbon atoms per molecule.
[0055] The lower molecular weight monocarboxylic acids contemplated for use herein can include saturated and unsaturated acids. Examples of such useful acids include dodecanoic acid, decanoic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, tall oil acid, etc.
Mixtures of two or more such agents can also be used.
