Abstract

BASF Aktiengesellschaft O.Z. 0050/41339 Fuel for internal combustion engines Abstract of the disclosure:

An otto-cycle engine fuel containing a small amount of an amide,amide/ammonium salt and/or ammonium salt of an aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acid and a long-chain secondary amine as additive for cleaning the carburetor and valves.

Description

FUEL F~R OTTO-CYCLE ENGINES
20~Q~i~
The present invention relates to a otto-cycle engine fuel con-taining a minor amount of an amide of an aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acid and a secondary long-chain amine.

wThe carburetor and suction system in otto-cycle engines and also the injection system for metering fuel in otto-c~cle and diesel engines are becoming more and more contaminated by tust particles from the air, by unburned hytrocarbon residues from the combustion chamber and by crankcase breather gases suc~ed into the carburetor.

When the engine runs under no-load or low-load conditions, these residues effect a shift in the air/fuel ratio to produce a richer mixture. The re-sult is less complete fuel combustion, which in turn increases the propor-tion of unburned or partially burned hydrocarbons in the exhaust and ef-sofects a rise in fuel consumption.

known method of overcoming such drawbacks is to use fuel additives de-signed to keep valves, carburetors and in~ection systems clean (cf., for example, ~. Rosse~beck ln ~atalys~toren, Tenslde, Mlner~l~ladtitive, 2~ edited by J. Falbe ~nd U. H~sserodt, pp. 223 et seq. G. Th~eme Verlag, Stuttg7rt 197~).

At present, such detergent atditives sre divided into two genorations de-pending on their action and the~r preferential locus of action.
.0 The first additive generstion was only capable of preventing new teposits in the suction system without being able to remove old deposits, whll~t modern atditives of the second generation can do both (Ukeep-clean~ and ~clean-up~ effects) and are partic~larly effective, due to changed thermal .,properties, in high-temperature zones, i.e. at the inlet valves.

The principle underlying the molecular structure of fuel detergents may be generalized BS the linkage of polar structures with non-polar or lipophilic radicals ~sually of relatively high molecular weight.
o Particularly useful representatives of the second generation of additives are, in addition to products based on polyisobuteDes, e.g. polyisobutyl-amine as tescribet in DE-OS 3,611,230, and in particular amides, imides and combined imide/amides of various carboxylic acids and polycarboxylic sacids.

, Particularly noteworthy in this respect are the known active2 ~ ~r based on trilon derivatives and higher branched amines as described in EP-A2 0,006,527.

SUe have now found, surprisingly, that a particularly good carburetor and valve cleaning effect is achieved when a fuel for otto-cycle en-giDes contains, in a concentration of from 100 to 500 ppm, an amide, an amide/ammonium salt or an ammonium salt of an aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acit and a secondary fatty amine or a mixture thereof of the formulae I

in which A is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkylene radical of from 2 to 6 carbon atoms or a radical of the formula -CH2_cH2-l-cH2_cHR_ CH rCON~
and u R denotes substantially straight-chain aliphatic radicals, particularly C~O-C3D-alkyl and preferably Cl4-C24-alkyl, and some or all of the amide structures may be in the form of ammonium structures of the formula ~s R e /~ .

The amides or amide/ammonium salts or ammonium salts of, for example, ni-trilotriacetic~acid, ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid or propylene-1,2-di-aminotetraacetic acid are obtained by reacting the acid with from 0.5 to 1.5, preferably 0.8 to 1.2, moles of amine per carboxyl group.
BASF Alcti~ ellsc~sf~ 3 O.Z.ODSO/41339 2 ~
The reaction temperature is between approx. 80 and 200 C, and to prepare the amides, continuous removal of the water of reaction is required. How-ever, complete conversion to amide is not necessary and it is highly ac-ceptable for from OZ to lOOX molar of the amine reacted to be converted to ,the ammonium salt.

Suitable amines of the formula ~H
R

~are, in particular, dialkylamines in which R is a straight-chain C10-C30-and preferably Cl4-C24-alkyl radical. Specific examples are dioleylamine, dipalmitinamine, dicoconut fatty smine, dibehenylamine and, preferably, ditallow fatty amine.

20 The amides or ammonium salts of aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acids of for-mulae I and II to be used in the present invention are added to the fuel in an amount of from 50 to 1000 ppm and preferably from 100 to 500 ppm.

A suitable otto-cycle engine fuel is a leaded or unleaded normal 2~ or super gasoline. Such gasoline may contain components other than hydr~-carbons, for example alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and t-butanol or ethers such as methyl-t-butyl ether. In addition to the smides of aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acids to be used in accordance with the pre-sent invention, the fuel will usually contain further additives such as ,Ocorrosion inhibitors, stabilizers, antioxidants and/or detergents.

Corrosion inhibltors are usually ammonium salts of organic carboxylic acids showing a tendency to film formation due to an appropriate structure of the parent compounds. Amines are also frequently present in corrosion " inhibitors to lower their p~. Corrosion inhibitors for non-ferrous metals usually comprise heterocyclic aromatics.

Examples of antioxidants or stabilizers are, in particular, amines such as para-phenylenediamine, dicyclohexylamine, morpholine or derivatives of ~ossid amines. Phenolic antioxidants such as 2,4-di-t-butylphenol or 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl propionic acid and derivatives thereof are also added to fuels and lubricants.

Other carburetor, injector and valve detergents which may be present in the fuel are, for example, amides and imides of polyisobutylene succin-aldehyde, polybutene polyamines and long-chain carboxamides and long-chain carboximides.

Examples A) Preparation of amides of nitriloacetic acids 1)240 g (0.48 mole) of ditallow fatty amine and 35 g (0.12 mole) of ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid were melted and heated at 190 C while the resulting water of reaction was distilled off continuously. The reaction was stopped after running for about 25 hours, at which point the acid number was ~5 and the amine number was <1.1. A water jet vacuum was applied for 2 hours at 120 C to complete the removal of the water of reaction. There were obtained 265 g of a brown waxy solid, which can be dis-solved in, say, xylene for easier handling.

2)100 g (0.2 mole) of titallow fatty amine ant 14.6 g (0.05 mole) of ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid were heated at 180-C for 8 hours, at which point some 50Z of the amine had broken down to the amide (acid number 45.8, theory - 49.7). There were obtained 97.6 g of the amide/ammonium salt as a light-brown waxy solid.

3)To a melt of 229.5 g (0.45 mole) of ditallow fatty amine were added 28.65 g (0.15 mole) of nitrilotriacetic acid (trilon A) at 80 C. The reaction mixture was then heated at 180-190-C for 10 hours. To effect total removal of the water of reaction, the ,o product was dried for a further 2 hours at 120'C under a water jet vacuum. There were obtained 249 g (theory - 250 g) of a light-brown waxy solid.
