Definitions
- compositions comprising (i) certain acid esters (mono- esters and/or diesters) of polytrimethylene ether glycol, and (ii) certain additives, and the use of such compositions as lubrication oils.
- PO3G esters Certain mono- and diesters of polytrimethylene ether glycol (“PO3G esters”) have properties that make them useful in a variety of fields, including as lubricants, as disclosed in commonly owned U.S. Application Serial No. 11/593,954, filed November 7, 2006, entitled “POLYTRIMETHYLENE ETHER GLYCOL ESTERS”.
- the present invention is directed to specific lubricant compositions based on such PO3G esters.
- the present invention relates to the use of one or more PO3G esters, along with one or more additives, as a lubrication oils.
- the present invention thus provides a lubrication oil composition comprising (i) a base fluid stock comprising a PO3G ester fluid (an acid ester of a polytrimethylene ether glycol that is a fluid at ambient temperature); and (ii) one or more lube oil additives.
- a base fluid stock comprising a PO3G ester fluid (an acid ester of a polytrimethylene ether glycol that is a fluid at ambient temperature); and (ii) one or more lube oil additives.
- the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.
- a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
- "or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not pre- sent) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
- the base fluid stock for use in the lubrication oil compositions of the present invention comprises a PO3G ester that is a fluid at ambient temperature (25°C).
- the base fluid stock may also comprise other natural and/or synthetic fluid co-lubricants.
- oils include both edible and inedible oils, and include, for example, high oleic sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, castor oil and the like, as well as modified oils such as disclosed in US6583302 (fatty acid esters) and I. Malchev, "Plant-Oil-Based Lubricants” (available from the Department of Plant Agriculture, Ontario Agriculture College, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road W., Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1 G 2W1 ).
- Synthetic fluid co-lubricants include lubricating oils such as hydrocarbon oils such as polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene- isobutylene copolymers; polyoxyalkylene glycol polymers and their derivatives such as ethylene oxide and propylene oxide copolymers, and PO3G in and of itself; and esters of dicarboxylic acids with a variety of alcohols such as dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate , di-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisoctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, and the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer.
- hydrocarbon oils such as polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene- isobutylene copolymers
- the base stock comprises a predominant amount of the PO3G ester (greater than 50 wt% based on the weight of the base stock).
- the base stock can comprise the PO3G ester in an amount of about 66 wt% or greater, or about 75 wt% or greater, or about 90 wt% or greater, or about 95 wt% or greater, based on the total weight of the base fluid stock.
- the base fluid stock comprises only (or substantially only) the PO3G ester.
- the lubrication oil composition preferably comprises the base oil stock in an amount of about 50 wt% or greater, based on the total weight of the lubrication oil composition.
- the lubrication oil can comprise the base stock in an amount of about 75 wt% or greater, or about 90 wt% or greater, or about 95 wt% or greater, based on the total weight of the lubrication oil composition.
- the PO3G esters comprise one or more compounds of the formula (I):
- each of Ri and R 3 is individually a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic, saturated aliphatic, unsaturated aliphatic or cyclo- aliphatic organic group, containing 4 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably at least 6 carbon atoms, more preferably at least 8 carbon atoms.
- each of Ri and R 3 has 20 carbon atoms or fewer, and in some embodiments 10 carbon atoms or fewer.
- each of R 1 and R 3 has 8 carbon atoms.
- PO3G esters are preferably prepared by polycondensation of hydroxyl groups- containing monomers (monomers containing 2 or more hydroxyl groups) predominantly comprising 1 ,3-propanediol to form a PO3G (as disclosed in further detail below), followed by esterification with a monocarboxylic acid (or equivalent), as disclosed in U.S. Application Serial No. 11/593,954, filed November 7, 2006, entitled "POLYTRIMETHYLENE ETHER GLYCOL ESTERS”.
- the PO3G ester thus prepared is a composition preferably comprising from about 50 to 100 wt%, more preferably from about 75 to 100 wt%, diester and from 0 to about 50 wt%, more preferably from 0 to about 25 wt%, monoester, based on the total weight of the esters.
- the mono- and diesters are esters of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
- PO3G for the purposes of the present invention is an oligomeric or polymeric ether glycol in which at least 50% of the repeating units are trimethylene ether units. More preferably from about 75% to 100%, still more preferably from about 90% to 100%, and even more preferably from about 99% to 100%, of the repeating units are trimethylene ether units.
- PO3G is preferably prepared by polycondensation of monomers comprising 1 ,3-propanediol, preferably in the presence of an acid catalyst, thus resulting in polymers or copolymers containing -(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 O)- linkage (e.g, trimethylene ether re- peating units). As indicated above, at least 50% of the repeating units are trimethylene ether units.
- the resulting product preferably contains less than about 20 ppm, more preferably less than about 10 ppm, of sulfur.
- trimethylene ether glycol encompasses PO3G made from essentially pure 1 ,3-propanediol, as well as those oligomers and polymers (including those described below) containing up to about 50% by weight of comonomers.
- the 1 ,3-propanediol employed for preparing the PO3G may be obtained by any of the various well known chemical routes or by biochemical transformation routes. Preferred routes are described in, for example, US5015789, US5276201 , US5284979, US5334778, US5364984, US5364987, US5633362, US5686276, US5821092, US5962745, US6140543, US6232511 , US6235948, US6277289, US6297408, US6331264, US6342646, US7038092, US708431 1 , US7098368, US7009082 and US20050069997A1.
- the 1 ,3-propanediol is obtained biochemically from a renewable source ("biologically-derived" 1 ,3-propanediol).
- a particularly preferred source of 1 ,3-propanediol is via a fermentation process using a renewable biological source.
- a renewable biological source biochemical routes to 1 ,3-propanediol (PDO) have been de- scribed that utilize feedstocks produced from biological and renewable resources such as corn feed stock.
- PDO biochemical routes to 1 ,3-propanediol
- bacterial strains able to convert glycerol into 1 ,3- propanediol are found in the species Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Clostridium, and Lactobacillus. The technique is disclosed in several publications, including US5633362, US5686276 and US5821092.
- US5821092 discloses, inter alia, a process for the biological production of 1 ,3-propanediol from glycerol using recombinant organisms.
- the process incorporates E. coli bacteria, transformed with a heterologous pdu diol dehydratase gene, having specificity for 1 ,2-propanediol.
- the transformed E. coli is grown in the presence of glycerol as a carbon source and 1 ,3-propanediol is isolated from the growth media. Since both bacteria and yeasts can convert glucose (e.g., corn sugar) or other carbohydrates to glycerol, the processes disclosed in these publications provide a rapid, inexpensive and environmentally responsible source of 1 ,3-propanediol monomer.
- the biologically-derived 1 ,3-propanediol such as produced by the processes described and referenced above, contains carbon from the atmospheric carbon dioxide incorporated by plants, which compose the feedstock for the production of the 1 ,3- propanediol.
- the biologically-derived 1 ,3-propanediol preferred for use in the context of the present invention contains only renewable carbon, and not fossil fuel-based or petroleum-based carbon.
- compositions of the present invention can be characterized as more natural and having less environmental impact than similar compositions comprising petroleum based glycols.
- the biologically-derived 1 ,3-propanediol, PO3G and PO3G esters may be distinguished from similar compounds produced from a petrochemical source or from fossil fuel carbon by dual carbon-isotopic finger printing.
- This method usefully distinguishes chemically-identical materials, and apportions carbon in the copolymer by source (and possibly year) of growth of the biospheric (plant) component.
- the isotopes, 14 C and 13 C bring complementary information to this problem.
- the radiocarbon dating isotope ( 14 C) with its nuclear half life of 5730 years, clearly allows one to apportion specimen carbon between fossil (“dead”) and biospheric ("alive”) feedstocks (Cur- rie, L. A.
- the fundamental definition relates to 0.95 times the 14 C/ 12 C isotope ratio HOxI (refer- enced to AD 1950). This is roughly equivalent to decay-corrected pre-lndustrial Revolution wood.
- f M 1.1.
- the stable carbon isotope ratio ( 13 C/ 12 C) provides a complementary route to source discrimination and apportionment.
- the 13 C/ 12 C ratio in a given biosourced material is a consequence of the 13 C/ 12 C ratio in atmospheric carbon dioxide at the time the carbon dioxide is fixed and also reflects the precise metabolic pathway. Regional variations also occur. Petroleum, C 3 plants (the broadleaf), C 4 plants (the grasses), and marine carbonates all show significant differences in 13 C/ 12 C and the corresponding ⁇ 13 C values. Furthermore, lipid matter of C 3 and C 4 plants analyze differently than materials derived from the carbohydrate components of the same plants as a conse- quence of the metabolic pathway.
- 13 C shows large variations due to isotopic fractionation effects, the most significant of which for the instant invention is the photosynthetic mechanism.
- the major cause of differences in the carbon isotope ratio in plants is closely associated with differences in the path- way of photosynthetic carbon metabolism in the plants, particularly the reaction occurring during the primary carboxylation, i.e., the initial fixation of atmospheric CO 2 .
- Two large classes of vegetation are those that incorporate the "C 3 " (or Calvin-Benson) photosynthetic cycle and those that incorporate the "C 4 " (or Hatch-Slack) photosynthetic cycle.
- C 3 plants, such as hardwoods and conifers, are dominant in the temperate cli- mate zones.
- the primary CO 2 fixation or carboxylation reaction involves the enzyme ribulose-1 ,5-diphosphate carboxylase and the first stable product is a 3-carbon compound.
- C 4 plants include such plants as tropical grasses, corn and sugar cane.
- an additional carboxylation reaction involving another enzyme, phosphenol-pyruvate carboxylase is the primary carboxylation reaction.
- the first stable carbon compound is a 4-carbon acid, which is subsequently decarboxylated. The CO 2 thus released is refixed by the C 3 cycle.
- Biologically-derived 1 ,3-propanediol, and compositions comprising biologically- derived 1 ,3-propanediol may be completely distinguished from their petrochemical derived counterparts on the basis of 14 C (fivi) and dual carbon-isotopic fingerprinting, indicating new compositions of matter.
- the ability to distinguish these prod- ucts is beneficial in tracking these materials in commerce.
- products comprising both "new" and "old” carbon isotope profiles may be distinguished from products made only of "old” materials.
- the instant materials may be followed in commerce on the basis of their unique profile and for the purposes of defining competi- tion, for determining shelf life, and especially for assessing environmental impact.
- the 1 ,3-propanediol used as the reactant or as a component of the reactant will have a purity of greater than about 99%, and more preferably greater than about 99.9%, by weight as determined by gas chromatographic analysis.
- Particularly preferred are the purified 1 ,3-propanediols as disclosed in US7038092, US7098368, US7084311 and US20050069997A1 , as well as PO3G made therefrom as disclosed in US20050020805A1.
- the purified 1 ,3-propanediol preferably has the following characteristics:
- a concentration of total organic impurities (organic compounds other than 1 ,3-propanediol) of less than about 400 ppm, more preferably less than about 300 ppm, and still more preferably less than about 150 ppm, as measured by gas chromatography.
- the starting material for making PO3G will depend on the desired PO3G, availability of starting materials, catalysts, equipment, etc., and comprises "1 ,3-propanediol reactant.”
- 1 ,3-propanediol reactant is meant 1 ,3-propanediol, and oligomers and prepolymers of 1 ,3-propanediol preferably having a degree of polymerization of 2 to 9, and mixtures thereof. In some instances, it may be desirable to use up to 10% or more of low molecular weight oligomers where they are available.
- the starting material comprises 1 ,3-propanediol and the dimer and trimer thereof.
- a particularly preferred starting material is comprised of about 90% by weight or more 1 ,3- propanediol, and more preferably 99% by weight or more 1 ,3-propanediol, based on the weight of the 1 ,3-propanediol reactant.
- PO3G can be made via a number of processes known in the art, such as disclosed in US6977291 and US6720459. The preferred processes are as set forth in US7074969, US7157607, US7161045 and US7164046.
- PO3G may contain lesser amounts of other polyalkylene ether repeating units in addition to the trimethylene ether units.
- the monomers for use in preparing polytrimethylene ether glycol can, therefore, contain up to 50% by weight (preferably about 20 wt% or less, more preferably about 10 wt% or less, and still more preferably about 2 wt% or less), of comonomer polyols in addition to the 1 ,3-propanediol reactant.

- a preferred group of comonomer diols is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, 2-methyl-1 ,3-propanediol, 2,2-dimethyl-1 ,3-propanediol, 2,2-diethyl-1 ,3- propanediol, 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1 ,3-propanediol, C 6 - Ci 0 diols (such as 1 ,6-hexanediol, 1 ,8-octanediol and 1 ,10-decanediol) and isosorbide, and mixtures thereof.
- a particularly preferred diol other than 1 ,3-propanediol is ethylene glycol, and C 6 - C 10 diols can be particularly useful as well.

- Preferred poly(trimethylene-ethylene ether) glycols are prepared by acid catalyzed polycondensation of from 50 to about 99 mole% (preferably from about 60 to about 98 mole%, and more preferably from about 70 to about 98 mole%) 1 ,3-propanediol and up to 50 to about 1 mole% (preferably from about 40 to about 2 mole%, and more preferably from about 30 to about 2 mole%) ethylene glycol.
- the PO3G after purification has essentially no acid catalyst end groups, but may contain very low levels of unsaturated end groups, predominately allyl end groups, in the range of from about 0.003 to about 0.03 meq/g.
- Such a PO3G can be considered to comprise (consist essentially of) the compounds having the following formulae (II) and HO-((CH 2 ) 3 O) m -H (II)

- the process can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum. During the contact- ing water is formed is formed and can be removed in the inert gas stream or under vacuum to drive the reaction to completion.
- an esterfication catalyst is generally used, preferably a mineral acid catalyst.
- mineral acid catalysts include but are not restricted to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, hydriodic acid, and heterogeneous catalysts such as zeolites, heteropolyacid, amber- lyst, and ion exchange resin.

- the etherification or polycondensation of 1 ,3-propanediol reac- tant to form polytrimethylene ether glycol is carried out using an acid catalyst as disclosed in US6977291 and US6720459.
- the etherification reaction may also be carried out using a polycondensation catalyst that contains both an acid and a base as described in JP2004-182974A.
- the polycondensation or etherification reaction is continued until desired molecular weight is reached, and then the calculated amount of monocarboxylic acid is added to the reaction mixture. The reaction is continued while the water byproduct is removed. At this stage both esterification and etherification reactions occur simultaneously.
- the acid catalyst used for polycondensation of diol is also used for esterification. If necessary additional esterification catalyst can be added at the esterification stage.
- the viscosity (molecular weight) of the resulting product is controlled by the point at which the carboxylic acid is added.

- the hydrolyzed polymer is further purified to remove water, acid catalyst and unreacted carboxylic acid by the known conventional techniques such as water washings, base neutralization, filtration and/or distillation.
- Unreacted diol and acid catalyst can, for example, be removed by washing with deionized water.
- Unreacted carboxylic acid also can be removed, for example, by washing with deionized water or aqueous base solutions, or by vacuum stripping.
- Hydrolysis is generally followed by one or more water washing steps to remove acid catalyst, and drying, preferably under vacuum, to obtain the ester product.
- the water washing also serves to remove unreacted diol. Any unreacted monocarboxylic acid present may also be removed in the water washing, but may also be removed by washing with aqueous base or by vacuum stripping.

- the esters of the invention made from the process described above are substantially sulfur free and thus useful for high temperature applications.
- the PO3G esters after purification have essentially no acid catalyst end groups, but may contain very low levels of unsaturated end groups, predominately allyl end groups, in the range of from about 0.003 to about 0.03 meq/g.
