PATENTS ACT 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION NAME OF APPLICANT(S):: Ethyl Corporation ADDRESS FOR SERVICE: DAVIES COLLISON CAVE Patent Attorneys 1 Nicholson Street,Melboure, 3000, Australia INVENTION TITLE: Low sulfur, low ash, and low phosphorus lubricant additive package using overbased calcium phenate The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us:- 5102 TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions, their method of preparation, and use. More specifically, this invention relates to oil soluble lubricating additive package to achieve low sulfur, low ash, and low phosphorus levels in fully formulated oil. The oil soluble lubricating package compositions herein are particularly useful in crankcase lubricants.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [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 often times 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.
EP-7582 [0003] An embodiment of the present invention provides an oil soluble lubricating additive package that can be used to formulate a low sulfur, low ash, and low phosphorus content oil for use in either gasoline or diesel engines. Further, a second embodiment provides lubricating oils that contain minimal sulfur, ash, and phosphorus levels.
[0004] Additionally, another embodiment provided herein is a method for lubricating the moving parts of a machine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] In one embodiment is provided an oil soluble lubricant additive package comprising at least one overbased metal phenate having a total base number of from about 120 to about 360 and at least one detergent, wherein the weight ratio of the overbased metal phenate to the detergent is from about 1:1 to about 3:1.

EP-7582 [0034] In addition to the novel features and advantages mentioned above, other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following descriptions of the drawing(s) and preferred embodiment(s).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S) [0035] In accordance with the foregoing summary, the following presents a detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention that is currently considered to be the best mode.
[0036]We begin with a discussion of the various components employed in the present invention. Then we shall present an example of an oil formulation based upon the oil soluble additive package of the present invention. Finally, we conclude with a comparison of an inventive oil formulation against a control formulation in the CAT 1N engine test.
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 slack 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 mm 2 /s (cSt) at 1000 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, mm 2 /s (cSt) at 1001 C.
EP-7582 [0038] Natural lubricating oils include animal oils, vegetable oils 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 in this invention can include but are not limited to 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, dichlorodiethyl 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 one embodiment, the oil of lubricating viscosity is a hydrotreated, hydrocracked and/or iso-dewaxed mineral oil having a Viscosity Index (VI) of greater than 80, preferably greater than 90; greater than volume saturates and less than 0.03 wt. sulfur.
[0040] Group II and Group III basestocks are also 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 and/or distillation steps to produce the finished base oil. Group II 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 EP-7582 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 Ill, 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 II and Group III categories.
[0041]There is no limitation as to the chemical composition of the various basestocks used in the present invention. For example, the proportions of aromatics, paraffinics, and naphthenics in the various Group I, Group II and Group III 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 one 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 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 EP-7582 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 diphenyl ethers, alkylated diphenyl sulfides, as well as their derivatives, analogs, and homologs thereof, and the like. Preferred synthetic oils are oligomers of a-olefins, particularly oligomers of 1-decene, having a viscosity ranging from about 1 to about 12, preferably 2 to 8, mm 2 /s (cSt) at 1000 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 polyoxyalkylene polymers methylpolyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, diphenyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 100-1500); and mono- and poly-carboxylic esters thereof 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 phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, subric acid, sebasic acid, fumaric acid, adipic EP-7582 acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids, etc.) with a variety of alcohols butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethers, propylene glycol, etc.). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl 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 formed by reacting one mole of sebasic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, and the like. A preferred type of oil from this class of synthetic oils is adipates of C 4 to C 12 alcohols.
[0047] Esters useful as synthetic lubricating oils also include those made from Cs to C 12 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 polyaryloxysiloxane oils and silicate oils) comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricating oils.
These oils include tetra-ethyl silicate, tetra-isopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2pentoxy)-disiloxane, poly(methyl)-siloxanes and poly (methylphenyl) siloxanes, and the like. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus containing acids tricresyl phosphate, trioctylphosphate, and diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid), polymeric tetra-hydrofurans, poly-alpha-olefins, and the like.
EP-7582 OVERBASED METAL PHENATE [0049]The oil soluble lubricating additive package of one example of the present invention contains 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 are 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 4.5 times as much metal as present in a normal salt will have metal excess of equivalents, or a ratio of [0051]The overbased metal salts used 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, naphtha, toluene, xylene, etc.) for the acidic organic compound, a stoichiometric excess of a metal base, and a promoter.

CAT 1N ENGINE TEST RESULTS [0076] The CAT 1N 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 EP-7582 cylinder aluminum piston diesel engine. 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 1N diesel test, no stuck pistons, piston rings or liner distress is permitted.
[0077]To 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 sulfur-free Mannich phenate was replaced with a low sulfur overbased calcium phenate of the present invention.
