  • exhaust gas after-treatment devices may include exhaust gas recirculation arrangements and cooled exhaust gas recirculation arrangements, catalytic converters, which can contain one or more oxidation catalysts, NO x storage catalysts, and/or NH 3 reduction catalysts and/or a particulate trap. OEM's are also looking at using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to further reduce NO x emissions.
  • SCR selective catalytic reduction
  • Oxidation catalysts can become poisoned and rendered less effective by exposure to certain elements/compounds present in engine exhaust gasses, particularly by exposure to phosphorus and phosphorus compounds introduced into the exhaust gas by the degradation of phosphorus-containing lubricating oil additives.
  • Reduction catalysts are sensitive to sulfur and sulfur compounds in the engine exhaust gas introduced by the degradation of both the base oil used to blend the lubricant, and sulfur-containing lubricating oil additives.
  • Particulate traps can become blocked by metallic ash, which is a product of degraded metal-containing lubricating oil additives.
  • OEM's also require lubricating oil compositions to be formulated to reduce the presence of detrimental materials in the exhaust gas stream. At the same time, the selected lubricating oil composition must provide adequate lubricant performance, including adequate wear protection and detergency.
  • European patent application 1 167 497 A2 discloses a lubricating oil composition having restricted sulfur, phosphorous and sulfated ash content comprising an ashless dispersant with a certain nitrogen content, a metal-containing detergent containing an organic acid metal salt selected from the group comprising an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of an alkyl salicylic acid and an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of an alkylphenol derivative having a mannich base structure providing a certain sulphated ash content, a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate providing a specified phosphorus amount and an oxidiation inhibitor.
  • Lubricating oils formulated in accordance with this patent application are stated to exhibit good high temperature detergency despite the lower sulfur, phosphorus and sulphated ash levels of the compositions.
  • US 2006/0116300 discloses a lubricating oil composition which provides improved top ring wear protection comprising a calcium salicylate detergent, a magnesium detergent and a nitrogen containing dispersant.

  • TBN Total Base Number at 100% active mass
  • the most preferred detergent for use in this invention is one or a mixture of overbased calcium alkyl salicylate detergents having a TBN between 300 and 600.
  • the metal salicylate detergent comprises substantially no magnesium alkyl salicylate detergent.
  • the amount of metal salicylate detergent used can vary broadly, but typically will be from about 0.1 to about 5 wt.%, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 wt.% based on the total weight of the composition, so as to provide from 7-15 mmoles of metal salicylate detergent per kilogram of the finished oil composition.
  • the amount of metal salicylate detergent used in the present invention provides the composition with at least 8 mmol soap per kilogram of the finished oil composition.
  • the amount of metal salicylate detergent used in the present invention provides the composition with no more than 11 mmol soap per kilogram of the finished oil composition.
  • the metal salicylate detergent provides greater than 0.3 mass%, preferably at least 0.4 mass% metal as sulphated ash to the lubricating oil composition.
  • the metal salicylate may be the sole metal lubricating oil detergent present in the lubricating oil compositions of the invention.
  • other metal-containing detergents such as metal sulfonates or phenates, may be present in the lubricating composition.
  • the lubricating oil composition comprises a mixture of detergent types
  • the lubricating oil composition suitably comprises a mixture of metal salicylate and metal sulphonate detergents.
  • the additional detergents may be either calcium or magnesium metal salts.
  • the additional detergents are calcium metal salts and the lubricating oil composition comprises substantially no magnesium metal salts.
  • the salicylate detergent provides the majority of the detergent additive in the lubricating oil composition.
  • substantially no magnesium metal salt detergent and substantially no magnesium alkyl salicylate detergent it is meant no more than an impurity amount, such as an amount providing less than 50 ppm magnesium preferably less than 30 ppm magnesium and most preferably less than 10 ppm magnesium.
  • Metal salts of organic acids typically used as lubricating oil detergents are present as stable colloidal dispersions of salt in oil.
  • the components are generally made by neutralizing the organic acid with a strong metal base in the presence of process aids.
  • the organic acid is neutralized with a strong metal base in the presence of an acidic gas (often carbon dioxide).
  • an acidic gas often carbon dioxide
  • the amounts of carbonate, sulfonate, and phenolic hydroxide present in a lubricant are inferred from the amounts present in the individual components that are blended to make the finished lubricant. And those amounts are in turn inferred from the charge ratios of raw materials used to make the detergents or by resort to analytical methods that can determine detectable moieties allowing inference of the remaining moieties.
  • the moles of metal salt of an organic acid present can be determined directly in some cases and in others must be derived.
  • the salt is a calcium sulfonate
  • direct analysis is possible using the liquid chromatography method described in ASTM 3712.
  • the moles of salt must be derived.
  • titrimetry including two phase titrimetric methods, total acid number (TAN) as determined using ASTM D664, dialysis and other well known analytical techniques allow determination of the organic salt content.
  • TAN total acid number
  • phenates and carboxylates including salicylates
  • the total amount of metal must be determined and allocated between organic and inorganic acids using a metal ratio.
  • the total amount of metal present is conveniently determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry--ASTM D4951.
  • Metal ratio is defined as the total amount of metal present divided by the amount of metal in excess of that required to neutralize any organic acid present, i.e., the amount of metal neutralizing inorganic acids. Metal ratios are quoted by manufacturers of commercial detergents and can be determined by a manufacturer having knowledge of the total amount of salts present and the average molecular weight of the organic acid.
  • the amount of metal salt present in a detergent may be determined by dialyzing the detergent and quantifying the amount of the residue.
  • the residue from the dialyzed detergent can be treated with strong acid to convert the salt to its acid form, analyzed by chromatographic methods, proton NMR, and mass spectroscopy and correlated to acids of known properties. More particularly, the detergent is dialysed and then residue is treated with strong acid to convert any salts to their respective acid form. The hydroxide number of the mixture can then be measured by the method described in ASTM D1957.
  • the detergent contains non-phenolic hydroxyl groups on the phenolic compound (e.g., alcoholic derivatives of ethylene glycol used in manufacture of commercial phenates or carboxylic acid groups on salicylic acid), separate analyses must be conducted to quantify the amounts of those hydroxyl groups so that the hydroxide number determined by ASTM D1957 can be corrected. Suitable techniques to determine the quantity of non-phenolic hydroxyl groups include analyses by mass spectroscopy, liquid chromatography, and proton NMR and correlation to compounds having known properties.
  • non-phenolic hydroxyl groups on the phenolic compound e.g., alcoholic derivatives of ethylene glycol used in manufacture of commercial phenates or carboxylic acid groups on salicylic acid
  • a second method for deriving the number of moles of metal salt of an organic acid present assumes that all of the organic acid charged to make the component is in fact converted to the salt.
  • the two methods can give slightly different results, but both are believed to be sufficiently precise to allow determination of the amount of salt present to the precision required to practice the present invention.
  • the total amount of detergent present is limited by the maximum 1.2 wt% sulfated ash content of the finished oil composition.
  • the total soap content of the lubricating oil is suitably no more than 1.5 wt%, preferably no more than 1.2wt% and more preferably no more than 1.0 wt%.
  • the total soap content of the lubricating oil composition is suitably at least 0.7 wt%, preferably at least 0.75 wt%.
  • An ashless dispersant generally comprises an oil soluble polymeric hydrocarbon backbone having functional groups that are capable of associating with particles to be dispersed.
  • the dispersants comprise amine, alcohol, amide, or ester polar moieties attached to the polymer backbone often via a bridging group.
  • the ashless dispersant of the present invention may be, for example, selected from oil soluble salts, esters, amino-esters, amides, imides, and oxazolines of long chain hydrocarbon substituted mono and dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides; thiocarboxylate derivatives of long 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.
  • the most common dispersant in use is the well known succinimide dispersant, which is a condensation product of hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride and a poly(alkyleneamine). Both mono-succinimide and bis-succinimide dispersants (and mixtures thereof) are well known.
  • Preferred groups of dispersant include polyamine-derivatized poly ⁇ -olefin, dispersants, particularly ethylene/butene alpha-olefin and polyisobutylene-based dispersants.
  • Particularly preferred are ashless dispersants derived from polyisobutylene substituted with succinic anhydride groups and reacted with polyethylene amines, e.g., polyethylene diamine, tetraethylene pentamine; or a polyoxyalkylene polyamine, e.g., polyoxypropylene diamine, trimethylolaminomethane; a hydroxy compound, e.g., pentaerythritol; and combinations thereof.
  • One particularly preferred dispersant combination is a combination of (A) polyisobutylene substituted with succinic anhydride groups and reacted with (B) a hydroxy compound, e.g., pentaerythritol; (C) a polyoxyalkylene polyamine, e.g., polyoxypropylene diamine, or (D) a polyalkylene diamine, e.g., polyethylene diamine and tetraethylene pentamine using about 0.3 to about 2 moles of (B), (C) and/or (D) per mole of (A).
  • Another preferred dispersant combination comprises a combination of (A) polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride with (B) a polyalkylene polyamine, e.g., tetraethylene pentamine, and (C) a polyhydric alcohol or polyhydroxy-substituted aliphatic primary amine, e.g., pentaerythritol or trismethylolaminomethane, as described in U.S. Patent No. 3,632,511 .
  • Mannich base condensation products Another class of ashless dispersants comprises Mannich base condensation products. Generally, these products are prepared by condensing about one mole of an alkyl-substituted mono- or polyhydroxy benzene with about 1 to 2.5 moles of carbonyl compound(s) (e.g., formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde) and about 0.5 to 2 moles of polyalkylene polyamine, as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 3,442,808 .
  • carbonyl compound(s) e.g., formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde
  • Such Mannich base condensation products may include a polymer product of a metallocene catalyzed polymerization as a substituent on the benzene group, or may be reacted with a compound containing such a polymer substituted on a succinic anhydride in a manner similar to that described in U.S. Patent No. 3,442,808 .
  • Examples of functionalized and/or derivatized olefin polymers synthesized using metallocene catalyst systems are described in the publications identified supra.
  • the dispersant can be further post treated by a variety of conventional post treatments such as boration, as generally taught in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,087,936 and 3,254,025 .
  • Boration of the dispersant is readily accomplished by treating an acyl nitrogen-containing dispersant with a boron compound such as boron oxide, boron halide boron acids, and esters of boron acids, in an amount sufficient to provide from about 0.1 to about 20 atomic proportions of boron for each mole of acylated nitrogen composition.
  • Useful dispersants contain from about 0.05 to about 2.0 mass %, e.g., from about 0.05 to about 0.7 mass % boron.
  • the boron which appears in the product as dehydrated boric acid polymers (primarily (HBO 2 ) 3 ), is believed to attach to the dispersant imides and diimides as amine salts, e.g., the metaborate salt of the diimide.
  • Boration can be carried out by adding from about 0.5 to 4 mass %, e.g., from about 1 to about 3 mass % (based on the mass of acyl nitrogen compound) of a boron compound, preferably boric acid, usually as a slurry, to the acyl nitrogen compound and heating with stirring at from about 135°C to about 190°C, e.g., 140°C to 170°C, for from about 1 to about 5 hours, followed by nitrogen stripping.
  • the boron treatment can be conducted by adding boric acid to a hot reaction mixture of the dicarboxylic acid material and amine, while removing water. Other post reaction processes commonly known in the art can also be applied.
