Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new uses of corrosion inhibitors in fuels and lubricants.
  • Corrosion inhibitors are common additives in fuels and lubricants, which are often based on structures containing acid groups, e.g. Dimer fatty acids.
  • a disadvantage of these corrosion inhibitors is that they tend to precipitate, especially in the presence of calcium ions, and their corrosion-inhibiting effect is reduced as a result.
  • the deposits formed by these precipitates can also impair the functioning of engines, engine components or parts of the fuel system, in particular the injection system, especially the injection pumps or nozzles.
  • injection system is understood to mean that part of the fuel system in motor vehicles from the fuel pump up to and including the injector outlet.
  • fuel system is understood to mean the components of motor vehicles that are in contact with the respective fuel, preferably the area from the tank up to and including the injector outlet.
  • the compounds according to the invention act against deposits not only in the injection system, but also in the rest of the fuel system, here in particular against deposits in fuel filters and pumps.
  • the object was therefore to provide corrosion inhibitors which show increased compatibility with calcium ions and thereby retain their effect as corrosion inhibitors.
  • EP 235868 A1 explicitly describes an anti-corrosive effect of the Diels-Alder adduct of polyisobutylene and maleic anhydride on steel, aluminum and brass.
  • the essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene described have a particular advantage in fuels or lubricants, especially in fuels which have an alkali and / or alkaline earth metal and / or zinc content of at least 0.1 ppm by weight, particularly preferably at least 0.2 ppm by weight and very particularly preferably at least 0.3 ppm by weight and in particular at least 0.5 ppm by weight.
  • a content of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals and / or zinc of at least 1 ppm by weight, preferably at least 2 and particularly preferably at least 3 ppm by weight is also conceivable.
  • alkali and / or alkaline earth metals and / or zinc preferably also in the presence of alkaline earth metals.
  • the content of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals in fuels is due, for example, to mixing with lubricants containing alkali and / or alkaline earth metals, for example in the fuel pump.
  • alkali and / or alkaline earth metals can come from fuel additives which have not been desalinated or have been insufficiently desalinated, for example carrier oils.
  • the above-mentioned disadvantages can be caused by the introduction of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals into the fuels.
  • One source of zinc is, for example, antiwear additives.
  • magnesium and calcium, in particular calcium should be mentioned as alkaline earth metals.
  • alkali and / or alkaline earth metals and / or zinc relate in each case to individual metal species.
  • the object was achieved by essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene, obtainable, preferably obtained by polyisobutene (A) having a number average molecular weight M n of 200 to 10,000, preferably 500 to 2500 and particularly preferably 700 to 1100 with derivatives of maleic acid (B. ), in a stoichiometric ratio of more than one equivalent of derivatives of maleic acid (B) per reactive double bond in polyisobutene (A).
  • the derivatives are selected from the group consisting of monoalkyl esters, dialkyl esters and anhydrides.
  • reaction products essentially free of acid groups are understood to mean those reaction products of polyisobutene with derivatives of maleic acid in the narrower sense, as well as products that result from the reaction of polyisobutene with derivatives of ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated monocarboxylic acids or derivatives of other ⁇ , ⁇ - unsaturated dicarboxylic acids are available as maleic acid, in which more than 90% of the carboxyl groups contained in component (B) as ester or anhydride groups are retained, ie are not saponified or hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid groups, preferably at least 92%, particularly preferably at least 94% , very particularly preferably at least 95%, in particular at least 96%, especially at least 97% and even at least 98%.
  • the polymer (A) that can be used is isobutene homopolymers or isobutene-containing copolymers, summarized here under the term "polyisobutene", which are obtainable from the respective monomer mixtures as follows:
  • polyisobutene which are obtainable from the respective monomer mixtures as follows:
  • C 4 raffinates in particular "raffinate 1"
  • C 4 cuts are suitable as the isobutene source for using isobutene or an isobutene-containing monomer mixture as the monomer to be polymerized from isobutane dehydrogenation, C 4 cuts from steam crackers and from FCC crackers (fluid catalysed cracking), provided they are largely freed from the 1,3-butadiene contained therein.
  • a C 4 hydrocarbon stream from an FCC refinery unit is also known as a "b / b" stream.
  • suitable isobutene-containing C 4 hydrocarbon streams are, for example, the product stream from a propylene-isobutane co-oxidation or the product stream from a metathesis unit, which are generally used after customary purification and / or concentration.
  • Suitable C 4 hydrocarbon streams generally contain less than 500 ppm, preferably less than 200 ppm, butadiene.
  • the presence of 1-butene and of cis- and trans-2-butene is largely uncritical.
  • the isobutene concentration in the C 4 hydrocarbon streams mentioned is typically in the range from 40 to 60% by weight.
  • raffinate 1 generally consists essentially of 30 to 50% by weight isobutene, 10 to 50% by weight 1-butene, 10 to 40% by weight cis- and trans-2-butene and 2 to 35% by weight % Butanes; in the subsequent polymerization process, the undisplayed butenes in raffinate 1 are generally practically inert and only the isobutene is polymerized.
  • a technical C 4 hydrocarbon stream with an isobutene content of 1 to 100% by weight, in particular 1 to 99% by weight, especially 1 to 90% by weight is used as the monomer source for the polymerization.
  • % particularly preferably from 30 to 60% by weight, in particular a raffinate 1 stream, a b / b stream from an FCC refinery unit, a product stream from a propylene-isobutane co-oxidation or a product stream from a metathesis unit.
  • the use of water as the sole initiator or as a further initiator has proven useful, especially when at temperatures from -20 ° C to + 30 ° C, in particular from 0 ° C to + 20 ° C, polymerized.
  • temperatures from -20 ° C. to + 30 ° C., in particular from 0 ° C. to + 20 ° C. it is also possible, however, to dispense with the use of an initiator when using a raffinate 1 stream as the isobutene source.
  • the isobutene-containing monomer mixture mentioned can contain small amounts of contaminants such as water, carboxylic acids or mineral acids without there being any critical loss of yield or selectivity. It is expedient to avoid an accumulation of these impurities by removing such pollutants from the isobutene-containing monomer mixture, for example by adsorption on solid adsorbents such as activated carbon, molecular sieves or ion exchangers.
  • the monomer mixture preferably contains at least 5% by weight, particularly preferably at least 10% by weight and in particular at least 20% by weight isobutene, and preferably at most 95% by weight, especially preferably at most 90% by weight and in particular at most 80% by weight comonomers.
  • Suitable copolymerizable monomers are: vinyl aromatics such as styrene and ⁇ -methylstyrene, C 1 - to C 4 -alkylstyrenes such as 2-, 3- and 4-methylstyrene and 4-tert-butylstyrene, and isoolefins having 5 to 10 carbon atoms such as 2-methylbutene-1, 2-methylpentene-1, 2-methylhexene-1, 2-ethylpentene-1, 2-ethylhexene-1 and 2-propylheptene-1. Furthermore, depending on the polymerization conditions, isoprene, 1-butene and cis- and trans-2-butene are also suitable as comonomers.
  • the process can be designed in such a way that preferably statistical polymers or preferably block copolymers are formed.
  • the various monomers can be fed to the polymerization reaction one after the other, the second comonomer being added in particular only when the first comonomer has already been at least partially polymerized.
  • both diblock, triblock and higher block copolymers are accessible which, depending on the sequence in which the monomer is added, have a block of one or the other comonomer as the terminal block.
  • block copolymers are also formed when all comonomers are fed into the polymerization reaction at the same time, but one of them polymerizes significantly faster than the other or the others.
  • Block copolymers with a terminal polystyrene block are preferably formed. This is due to the fact that the vinyl aromatic compound, especially styrene, polymerizes significantly more slowly than isobutene.
  • the polymerization can be carried out either continuously or batchwise. Continuous processes can be carried out in analogy to known processes of the prior art for the continuous polymerization of isobutene in the presence of Lewis acids, preferably boron trifluoride- or aluminum trichloride- or alkylaluminum chloride-based catalysts, in the liquid phase.
  • Lewis acids preferably boron trifluoride- or aluminum trichloride- or alkylaluminum chloride-based catalysts
  • reactive double bonds or “vinylidene bonds” are understood to mean terminal, so-called ⁇ - and ⁇ -double bonds (in total). These are characterized by the following structural elements (shown here using the example of isobutene homopolymer):
  • the proportion of reactive double bonds in the isobutene homopolymers or copolymers which can be used according to the invention, based on ⁇ - and ⁇ -double bonds in total, can be from 30 to 100 mol%, preferably 40 to 97, particularly preferably 50 to 95, very particularly preferably 55 up to 93 and in particular 60 to 90 mol%.

  • the number average molecular weight M n of the polyisobutenes which can be used in the process according to the invention is from 200 to 10,000.

  • An excess of component (B) can generally be easily separated off by distillation or sublimation.
  • the excess component (B) thus recovered can then be used again in a further reaction.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft neue Verwendungen von Korrosionsinhibitoren in Kraft- und Schmierstoffen.The present invention relates to new uses of corrosion inhibitors in fuels and lubricants.

Korrosionsinhibitoren sind gängige Additive in Kraft- und Schmierstoffen, die oftmals auf säuregruppenhaltigen Strukturen beruhen, z.B. Dimerfettsäuren.Corrosion inhibitors are common additives in fuels and lubricants, which are often based on structures containing acid groups, e.g. Dimer fatty acids.

Nachteilig an diesen Korrosionsinhibitoren ist, daß sie insbesondere in Gegenwart von Calcium-Ionen zu Ausfällungen neigen und dadurch ihre korrosionsinhibierende Wirkung vermindert wird. Die durch diese Ausfällungen gebildeten Ablagerungen können darüber hinaus die Funktionsweise von Motoren, Motorbestandteilen oder Teilen des Kraftstoffsystems, insbesondere dem Einspritzsystem, speziell den Einspritzpumpen oder -düsen, beeinträchtigen.A disadvantage of these corrosion inhibitors is that they tend to precipitate, especially in the presence of calcium ions, and their corrosion-inhibiting effect is reduced as a result. The deposits formed by these precipitates can also impair the functioning of engines, engine components or parts of the fuel system, in particular the injection system, especially the injection pumps or nozzles.

Unter dem "Einspritzsystem" wird dabei der Teil des Kraftstoffsystems in Kraftfahrzeugen von Kraftstoffpumpe bis einschließlich Injektorauslass verstanden. Als "Kraftstoffsystem" werden dabei die Bauteile von Kraftfahrzeugen verstanden, die mit dem jeweiligen Kraftstoff in Kontakt stehen, bevorzugt der Bereich von Tank bis einschließlich Injektorauslass.The “injection system” is understood to mean that part of the fuel system in motor vehicles from the fuel pump up to and including the injector outlet. The term “fuel system” is understood to mean the components of motor vehicles that are in contact with the respective fuel, preferably the area from the tank up to and including the injector outlet.

Es stelle eine Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dar, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungen gegen Ablagerungen nicht nur im Einspritzsystem wirken, sondern auch im übrigen Kraftstoffsystem, hier insbesondere gegen Ablagerungen in Kraftstofffiltern und -pumpen.It is an embodiment of the present invention that the compounds according to the invention act against deposits not only in the injection system, but also in the rest of the fuel system, here in particular against deposits in fuel filters and pumps.

Es bestand daher die Aufgabe, Korrosionsinhibitoren zur Verfügung zu stellen, die eine erhöhte Verträglichkeit gegen Calcium-Ionen zeigen und dabei ihre Wirkung als Korrosionsinhibitor behalten.The object was therefore to provide corrosion inhibitors which show increased compatibility with calcium ions and thereby retain their effect as corrosion inhibitors.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die anspruchsgemäße Verwendung.The problem is solved by the use according to the claims.

Aus WO 2010/042378 A1 ist die Verwendung von hydrolysierten und unhydrolysierten Hydrocarbylbernsteinsäuren gegen Metallaufnahme bekannt.Out WO 2010/042378 A1 the use of hydrolyzed and unhydrolyzed hydrocarbyl succinic acids against metal uptake is known.

In WO 2004/024850 A1 wird die Herstellung von Polyisobutenbersteinsäure und deren Anhydrid, sowie deren antikorrosive Wirkung beschrieben.In WO 2004/024850 A1 describes the production of polyisobutene succinic acid and its anhydride, as well as their anti-corrosive effect.

EP 235868 A1 beschreibt explizit eine antikorrosive Wirkung des Diels-Alder Adduktes von Polyisobutylen und Maleinsäureanhydrid auf Stahl, Aluminium und Messing. EP 235868 A1 explicitly describes an anti-corrosive effect of the Diels-Alder adduct of polyisobutylene and maleic anhydride on steel, aluminum and brass.

US 4655946 beschreibt eine antikorrosive Wirkung von Umsetzungsprodukten von Polyisobutenbernsteinsäuren mit Aminen. US 4655946 describes an anti-corrosive effect of reaction products of polyisobutene succinic acids with amines.

In keiner dieser Schriften werden Mehrfachaddukte von Maleinsäureanhydrid an Polyisobuten beschrieben oder deren vorteilhafte Wirkung als Korrosionsinhibitor erkannt. Ferner wird die Sensibilität der Korrosionsinhibitoren auf Metallsalze nicht erkannt und gelöst.In none of these publications are multiple adducts of maleic anhydride with polyisobutene described or their advantageous effect as corrosion inhibitors recognized. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the corrosion inhibitors to metal salts is not recognized and resolved.

Demgemäß ist Gegenstand der Erfindung die Verwendung von im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukten von Polyisobuten, erhältlich, bevorzugt erhalten indem man Polyisobuten (A) mit einem zahlenmittleren Molekulargewicht Mn von 200 bis 10000 mit Derivaten der Maleinsäure (B), wobei die Derivate ausgewählt sind aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Monoalkylestern, Dialkylestern und Anhydriden, in einem stöchiometrischen Verhältnis von mehr als einem Aquivalent Derivate der Maleinsäure, pro reaktiver Doppelbindung im Polyisobuten (A) umsetzt, mit der Maßgabe, daß

  • im Falle der Verwendung von Monoalkylestern und/oder Dialkylestern als Verbindung (B) mehr als 90% der vorhandenen Estergruppen im Umsetzungsprodukt erhalten bleiben und/oder
  • im Fall der Verwendung von Anhydriden als Verbindung (B) mehr als 90% der vorhandenen Anhydridgruppen im Umsetzungsprodukt erhalten bleiben,
als Korrosionsinhibitoren in Kraft- oder Schmierstoffen, bevorzugt in Kraftstoffen, besonders bevorzugt in Kraftstoffen, die einen Gehalt an Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen und/oder Zink von mindestens 0,1 Gew.ppm aufweisen.Accordingly, the invention relates to the use of reaction products of polyisobutene which are essentially free of acid groups, obtainable, preferably obtained by polyisobutene (A) having a number average molecular weight Mn of 200 to 10,000 with derivatives of maleic acid (B), the derivatives being selected from Group consisting of monoalkyl esters, dialkyl esters and anhydrides, in a stoichiometric ratio of more than one equivalent of derivatives of maleic acid, per reactive double bond in polyisobutene (A), with the proviso that
  • in the case of the use of monoalkyl esters and / or dialkyl esters as compound (B), more than 90% of the ester groups present in the reaction product are retained and / or
  • if anhydrides are used as compound (B), more than 90% of the anhydride groups present are retained in the reaction product,
as corrosion inhibitors in fuels or lubricants, preferably in fuels, particularly preferably in fuels which have an alkali and / or alkaline earth metal and / or zinc content of at least 0.1 ppm by weight.

Die beschriebenen im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten zeigen einen besonderen Vorteil in Kraft- oder Schmierstoffen, besonders in Kraftstoffen, die einen Gehalt an Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen und/oder Zink von mindestens 0,1 Gew.ppm aufweisen, besonders bevorzugt mindestens 0,2 Gew.ppm und ganz besonders bevorzugt mindestens 0,3 Gew.ppm und insbesondere mindestens 0,5 Gew.ppm. Denkbar ist auch ein Gehalt an Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen und/oder Zink von mindestens 1 Gew.ppm, bevorzugt mindestens 2 und besonders bevorzugt mindestens 3 Gew.ppm.The essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene described have a particular advantage in fuels or lubricants, especially in fuels which have an alkali and / or alkaline earth metal and / or zinc content of at least 0.1 ppm by weight, particularly preferably at least 0.2 ppm by weight and very particularly preferably at least 0.3 ppm by weight and in particular at least 0.5 ppm by weight. A content of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals and / or zinc of at least 1 ppm by weight, preferably at least 2 and particularly preferably at least 3 ppm by weight is also conceivable.

Es stellt einen Vorteil der beschriebenen im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten dar, daß sie ihre korrosionsinhibierende Wirkung auch in Gegenwart von Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen und/oder Zink zeigen, bevorzugt auch in Gegenwart von Erdalkalimetallen. Der Gehalt an Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen in Kraftstoffen rührt beispielsweise her durch Vermischung mit Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen-haltigen Schmierstoffen, beispielsweise in der Kraftstoffpumpe. Ferner können Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetalle aus nicht oder unzureichend entsalzten Kraftstoffadditiven stammen, beispielsweise Trägerölen. Durch das Einschleppen von Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen in die Kraftstoffe können die oben genannten Nachteile hervorgerufen werden. Eine Quelle für Zink sind beispielsweise antiwear Additive.It is an advantage of the essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene described that they also show their corrosion-inhibiting effect in the presence of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals and / or zinc, preferably also in the presence of alkaline earth metals. The content of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals in fuels is due, for example, to mixing with lubricants containing alkali and / or alkaline earth metals, for example in the fuel pump. Furthermore, alkali and / or alkaline earth metals can come from fuel additives which have not been desalinated or have been insufficiently desalinated, for example carrier oils. The above-mentioned disadvantages can be caused by the introduction of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals into the fuels. One source of zinc is, for example, antiwear additives.

Als Alkalimetalle zu nennen sind besonders Natrium und Kalium, insbesondere Natrium.Particularly sodium and potassium, especially sodium, are to be mentioned as alkali metals.

Als Erdalkalimetalle zu nennen sind besonders Magnesium und Calcium, insbesondere Calcium.Particularly magnesium and calcium, in particular calcium, should be mentioned as alkaline earth metals.

Ferner ist Zink hervorzuhebenZinc should also be emphasized

Mit besonderem Vorteil sind die beschriebenen im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten auch in Gegenwart von Calcium noch aktiv und zeigen keine Ausfällungen.It is particularly advantageous that the essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene described are still active in the presence of calcium and do not show any precipitations.

Die angegebenen Mengen an Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetallen und/oder Zink beziehen sich dabei jeweils auf einzelne Metallespezies.The stated amounts of alkali and / or alkaline earth metals and / or zinc relate in each case to individual metal species.

Beschreibung der im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukte von PolyisobutenDescription of the essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene

Die Aufgabe wurde gelöst durch im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freie Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten, erhältlich, bevorzugt erhalten indem man Polyisobuten (A) mit einem zahlenmittleren Molekulargewicht Mn von 200 bis 10000, bevorzugt 500 bis 2500 und besonders bevorzugt 700 bis 1100 mit Derivaten der Maleinsäure (B), in einem stöchiometrischen Verhältnis von mehr als einem Äquivalent Derivate der Maleinsäure (B), pro reaktiver Doppelbindung im Polyisobuten (A) umsetzt.The object was achieved by essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene, obtainable, preferably obtained by polyisobutene (A) having a number average molecular weight M n of 200 to 10,000, preferably 500 to 2500 and particularly preferably 700 to 1100 with derivatives of maleic acid (B. ), in a stoichiometric ratio of more than one equivalent of derivatives of maleic acid (B) per reactive double bond in polyisobutene (A).

Die Derivate sind dabei ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Monoalkylestern, Dialkylestern und Anhydriden.The derivatives are selected from the group consisting of monoalkyl esters, dialkyl esters and anhydrides.

Um sicherzustellen, daß die Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobutenen mit Alkylestern bzw. Anhydriden (B) im wesentlichen frei von Säuregruppen bleiben, herrscht dabei die Maßgabe, daß im Umsetzungsprodukt

  • im Falle der Verwendung von Monoalkylestern und/oder Dialkylestern als Verbindung (B) mehr als 90% der vorhandenen Estergruppen im Umsetzungsprodukt erhalten bleiben und/oder
  • im Fall der Verwendung von Anhydriden als Verbindung (B) mehr als 90% der vorhandenen Anhydridgruppen im Umsetzungsprodukt erhalten bleiben.
In order to ensure that the reaction products of polyisobutenes with alkyl esters or anhydrides (B) remain essentially free of acid groups, the stipulation is that in the reaction product
  • in the case of the use of monoalkyl esters and / or dialkyl esters as compound (B), more than 90% of the ester groups present in the reaction product are retained and / or
  • if anhydrides are used as compound (B), more than 90% of the anhydride groups present are retained in the reaction product.

Unter "im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukten" werden dabei solche Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten mit Derivaten von Maleinsäure im engeren Sinn verstanden, als auch Produkte, die aus der Umsetzung von Polyisobuten mit Derivaten von α,β-ungesättigten Monocarbonsäuren oder Derivaten von anderen α,β-ungesättigten Dicarbonsäuren als Maleinsäure erhältlich sind, bei denen mehr als 90 % der in der Komponente (B) als Ester- oder Anhydridgruppen enthaltenen Carboxylgruppen erhalten bleiben, d.h. nicht zu Carbonsäuregruppen verseift bzw. hydrolysiert werden, bevorzugt mindestens 92%, besonders bevorzugt mindestens 94%, ganz besonders bevorzugt mindestens 95%, insbesondere mindestens 96%, speziell mindestens 97% und sogar mindestens 98%."Reaction products essentially free of acid groups" are understood to mean those reaction products of polyisobutene with derivatives of maleic acid in the narrower sense, as well as products that result from the reaction of polyisobutene with derivatives of α, β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids or derivatives of other α, β- unsaturated dicarboxylic acids are available as maleic acid, in which more than 90% of the carboxyl groups contained in component (B) as ester or anhydride groups are retained, ie are not saponified or hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid groups, preferably at least 92%, particularly preferably at least 94% , very particularly preferably at least 95%, in particular at least 96%, especially at least 97% and even at least 98%.

Bei dem einsetzbaren Polymer (A) handelt es sich um iso-Buten-Homopolymere oder iso-Buten enthaltende Copolymere, hier unter dem Begriff "Polyisobuten" zusammengefaßt, die wie folgt aus den jeweiligen Monomergemischen erhältlich sind:
Für den Einsatz von Isobuten oder eines Isobuten enthaltenden Monomerengemisches als zu polymerisierendem Monomer eignet sich als Isobuten-Quelle sowohl Rein-Isobuten als auch Isobuten-haltige C4-Kohlenwasserstoffströme, beispielsweise C4-Raffinate, insbesondere "Raffinat 1", C4-Schnitte aus der Isobutan-Dehydrierung, C4-Schnitte aus Steamcrackern und aus FCC-Crackern (fluid catalysed cracking), sofern sie weitgehend von darin enthaltenem 1,3-Butadien befreit sind. Ein C4-Kohlenwasserstoff-strom aus einer FCC-Raffinerieeinheit ist auch als "b/b"-Strom bekannt. Weitere geeignete Isobuten-haltige C4-Kohlenwasserstoffströme sind beispielsweise der Produktstrom einer Propylen-Isobutan-Cooxidation oder der Produktstrom aus einer Metathese-Einheit, welche in der Regel nach üblicher Aufreinigung und/oder Aufkonzentrierung eingesetzt werden. Geeignete C4-Kohlenwasserstoffströme enthalten in der Regel weniger als 500 ppm, vorzugsweise weniger als 200 ppm, Butadien. Die Anwesenheit von 1-Buten sowie von cis- und trans-2-Buten ist weitgehend unkritisch. Typischerweise liegt die Isobutenkonzentration in den genannten C4-Kohlenwasserstoffströmen im Bereich von 40 bis 60 Gew.-%. So besteht Raffinat 1 in der Regel im wesentlichen aus 30 bis 50 Gew.-% Isobuten, 10 bis 50 Gew.-% 1-Buten, 10 bis 40 Gew.-% cis- und trans-2-Buten sowie 2 bis 35 Gew.-% Butanen; beim anschließenden Polymerisationsverfahren verhalten sich die unverzeigten Butene im Raffinat 1 in der Regel praktisch inert und nur das Isobuten wird polymerisiert.
The polymer (A) that can be used is isobutene homopolymers or isobutene-containing copolymers, summarized here under the term "polyisobutene", which are obtainable from the respective monomer mixtures as follows:
Both pure isobutene and isobutene-containing C 4 hydrocarbon streams, for example C 4 raffinates, in particular "raffinate 1", C 4 cuts, are suitable as the isobutene source for using isobutene or an isobutene-containing monomer mixture as the monomer to be polymerized from isobutane dehydrogenation, C 4 cuts from steam crackers and from FCC crackers (fluid catalysed cracking), provided they are largely freed from the 1,3-butadiene contained therein. A C 4 hydrocarbon stream from an FCC refinery unit is also known as a "b / b" stream. Further suitable isobutene-containing C 4 hydrocarbon streams are, for example, the product stream from a propylene-isobutane co-oxidation or the product stream from a metathesis unit, which are generally used after customary purification and / or concentration. Suitable C 4 hydrocarbon streams generally contain less than 500 ppm, preferably less than 200 ppm, butadiene. The presence of 1-butene and of cis- and trans-2-butene is largely uncritical. The isobutene concentration in the C 4 hydrocarbon streams mentioned is typically in the range from 40 to 60% by weight. Thus raffinate 1 generally consists essentially of 30 to 50% by weight isobutene, 10 to 50% by weight 1-butene, 10 to 40% by weight cis- and trans-2-butene and 2 to 35% by weight % Butanes; in the subsequent polymerization process, the undisplayed butenes in raffinate 1 are generally practically inert and only the isobutene is polymerized.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform setzt man als Monomerquelle für die Polymerisation einen technischen C4-Kohlenwasserstoffstrom mit einem Isobuten-Gehalt von 1 bis 100 Gew.-%, insbesondere von 1 bis 99 Gew.-%, vor allem von 1 bis 90 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt von 30 bis 60 Gew.-%, insbesondere einen Raffinat 1-Strom, einen b/b-Strom aus einer FCC-Raffinerieeinheit, einen Produktstrom einer Propylen-Isobutan-Cooxidation oder einen Produktstrom aus einer Metathese-Einheit ein.In a preferred embodiment, a technical C 4 hydrocarbon stream with an isobutene content of 1 to 100% by weight, in particular 1 to 99% by weight, especially 1 to 90% by weight, is used as the monomer source for the polymerization. %, particularly preferably from 30 to 60% by weight, in particular a raffinate 1 stream, a b / b stream from an FCC refinery unit, a product stream from a propylene-isobutane co-oxidation or a product stream from a metathesis unit.

Insbesondere bei Verwendung eines Raffinat 1-Stromes als Isobutenquelle hat sich die Verwendung von Wasser als alleinigem oder als weiterem Initiator bewährt, vor allem wenn man bei Temperaturen von -20°C bis +30°C, insbesondere von 0°C bis +20°C, polymerisiert. Bei Temperaturen von -20°C bis +30°C, insbesondere von 0°C bis +20°C, kann man bei Verwendung eines Raffinat 1-Stromes als Isobutenquelle jedoch auch auf den Einsatz eines Initiators verzichten.In particular when using a raffinate 1 stream as the isobutene source, the use of water as the sole initiator or as a further initiator has proven useful, especially when at temperatures from -20 ° C to + 30 ° C, in particular from 0 ° C to + 20 ° C, polymerized. At temperatures from -20 ° C. to + 30 ° C., in particular from 0 ° C. to + 20 ° C., it is also possible, however, to dispense with the use of an initiator when using a raffinate 1 stream as the isobutene source.

Das genannte Isobuten-haltige Monomerengemisch kann geringe Mengen an Kontaminanten wie Wasser, Carbonsäuren oder Mineralsäuren enthalten, ohne dass es zu kritischen Ausbeute- oder Selektivitätseinbußen kommt. Es ist zweckdienlich, eine Anreicherung dieser Verunreinigungen zu vermeiden, indem man solche Schadstoffe beispielsweise durch Adsorption an feste Adsorbentien wie Aktivkohle, Molekularsiebe oder Ionenaustauscher, aus dem Isobuten-haltigen Monomerengemisch entfernt.The isobutene-containing monomer mixture mentioned can contain small amounts of contaminants such as water, carboxylic acids or mineral acids without there being any critical loss of yield or selectivity. It is expedient to avoid an accumulation of these impurities by removing such pollutants from the isobutene-containing monomer mixture, for example by adsorption on solid adsorbents such as activated carbon, molecular sieves or ion exchangers.

Es können auch Monomermischungen von Isobuten beziehungsweise des Isobuten-haltigen Kohlenwasserstoffgemischs mit olefinisch ungesättigten Monomeren, welche mit Isobuten copolymerisierbar sind, umgesetzt werden. Sofern Monomermischungen des Isobutens mit geeigneten Comonomeren copolymerisiert werden sollen, enthält die Monomermischung vorzugsweise wenigstens 5 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt wenigstens 10 Gew.-% und insbesondere wenigstens 20 Gew.-% Isobuten, und vorzugsweise höchstens 95 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt höchstens 90 Gew.-% und insbesondere höchstens 80 Gew.-% Comonomere.It is also possible to react monomer mixtures of isobutene or the isobutene-containing hydrocarbon mixture with olefinically unsaturated monomers which are copolymerizable with isobutene. If monomer mixtures of isobutene are to be copolymerized with suitable comonomers, the monomer mixture preferably contains at least 5% by weight, particularly preferably at least 10% by weight and in particular at least 20% by weight isobutene, and preferably at most 95% by weight, especially preferably at most 90% by weight and in particular at most 80% by weight comonomers.

Als copolymerisierbare Monomere kommen in Betracht: Vinylaromaten wie Styrol und α-Methylstyrol, C1- bis C4-Alkylstyrole wie 2-, 3- und 4-Methylstyrol und 4-tert.-Butyl-styrol, sowie Isoolefine mit 5 bis 10 Kohlenstoffatomen wie 2-Methylbuten-1, 2-Methylpenten-1, 2-Methylhexen-1, 2-Ethylpenten-1, 2-Ethylhexen-1 und 2-Propylhepten-1. Weiterhin kommen - abhängig von den Polymerisationsbedingungen - als Comonomere auch Isopren, 1-Buten und cis- und trans-2-Buten in Betracht.Suitable copolymerizable monomers are: vinyl aromatics such as styrene and α-methylstyrene, C 1 - to C 4 -alkylstyrenes such as 2-, 3- and 4-methylstyrene and 4-tert-butylstyrene, and isoolefins having 5 to 10 carbon atoms such as 2-methylbutene-1, 2-methylpentene-1, 2-methylhexene-1, 2-ethylpentene-1, 2-ethylhexene-1 and 2-propylheptene-1. Furthermore, depending on the polymerization conditions, isoprene, 1-butene and cis- and trans-2-butene are also suitable as comonomers.

Das Verfahren kann so ausgestaltet werden, dass bevorzugt statistische Polymere oder bevorzugt Blockcoplymere entstehen. Zur Herstellung von Blockcopolymeren kann man beispielsweise die verschiedenen Monomere nacheinander der Polymerisationsreaktion zuführen, wobei die Zugabe des zweiten Comonomers insbesondere erst dann erfolgt, wenn das erste Comonomer zumindest teilweise schon polymerisiert ist. Auf diese Weise sind sowohl Diblock-, Triblockals auch höhere Blockcopolymere zugänglich, die je nach Reihenfolge der Monomerzugabe einen Block des einen oder anderen Comonomers als terminalen Block aufweisen. Blockcopolymere entstehen in einigen Fällen aber auch dann, wenn alle Comonomere zwar gleichzeitig der Polymerisationsreaktion zugeführt werden, eines davon aber signifikant schneller polymerisiert als das oder die anderen. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn Isobuten und eine vinylaromatische Verbindung, insbesondere Styrol, im erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren copolymerisiert werden. Dabei entstehen vorzugsweise Blockcopolymere mit einem terminalen Polystyrolblock. Dies ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass die vinylaromatische Verbindung, speziell Styrol, signifikant langsamer polymerisiert als Isobuten.The process can be designed in such a way that preferably statistical polymers or preferably block copolymers are formed. To produce block copolymers, for example, the various monomers can be fed to the polymerization reaction one after the other, the second comonomer being added in particular only when the first comonomer has already been at least partially polymerized. In this way, both diblock, triblock and higher block copolymers are accessible which, depending on the sequence in which the monomer is added, have a block of one or the other comonomer as the terminal block. In some cases, block copolymers are also formed when all comonomers are fed into the polymerization reaction at the same time, but one of them polymerizes significantly faster than the other or the others. This is particularly the case when isobutene and a vinyl aromatic compound, in particular styrene, are copolymerized in the process according to the invention. Block copolymers with a terminal polystyrene block are preferably formed. This is due to the fact that the vinyl aromatic compound, especially styrene, polymerizes significantly more slowly than isobutene.

Die Polymerisation kann sowohl kontinuierlich als auch diskontinuierlich erfolgen. Kontinuierliche Verfahren können in Analogie zu bekannten Verfahren des Standes der Technik zur kontinuierlichen Polymerisation von Isobuten in Gegenwart von Lewis-Säuren, bevorzugt Bortrifluorid- oder Aluminiumtrichlorid- oder Alkylaluminiumchlorid-basierten Katalysatoren, in flüssiger Phase durchgeführt werden.The polymerization can be carried out either continuously or batchwise. Continuous processes can be carried out in analogy to known processes of the prior art for the continuous polymerization of isobutene in the presence of Lewis acids, preferably boron trifluoride- or aluminum trichloride- or alkylaluminum chloride-based catalysts, in the liquid phase.

Als "reaktive Doppelbindungen" oder "Vinylidenbindungen" werden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung terminale, sogenannte α- und β-Doppelbindungen (in Summe) verstanden. Diese zeichnen sich durch folgende Strukturelemente (hier dargestellt am Beispiel des iso-Buten Homopolymers) aus:

Figure imgb0001
Figure imgb0002
In the context of the present invention, “reactive double bonds” or “vinylidene bonds” are understood to mean terminal, so-called α- and β-double bonds (in total). These are characterized by the following structural elements (shown here using the example of isobutene homopolymer):
Figure imgb0001
Figure imgb0002

Der Anteil an reaktiven Doppelbindungen in den erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Isobutenhomo- oder -copolymeren, bezogen auf α- und β-Doppelbindungen in Summe, kann von 30 bis 100 mol% betragen, bevorzugt 40 bis 97, besonders bevorzugt 50 bis 95, ganz besonders bevorzugt 55 bis 93 und insbesondere 60 bis 90 mol%.The proportion of reactive double bonds in the isobutene homopolymers or copolymers which can be used according to the invention, based on α- and β-double bonds in total, can be from 30 to 100 mol%, preferably 40 to 97, particularly preferably 50 to 95, very particularly preferably 55 up to 93 and in particular 60 to 90 mol%.

Die Verteilung von α-: β-Doppelbindungen im Polyisobuten (A) beträgt in der Regel von 100:0 bis 10:90, bevorzugt von 99:1 bis 20:80, besonders bevorzugt von 98:2 bis 30:70, ganz besonders bevorzugt von 97:3 bis 40:60 und insbesondere von 95:5 bis 50:50.The distribution of α-: β-double bonds in the polyisobutene (A) is generally from 100: 0 to 10:90, preferably from 99: 1 to 20:80, particularly preferably from 98: 2 to 30:70, very particularly preferably from 97: 3 to 40:60 and in particular from 95: 5 to 50:50.

Der Anteil an α- und β-Doppelbindungen als auch die Verteilung von α-: β-Doppelbindungen hängt von der Herstellung der Polyisobutene (A) ab.The proportion of α- and β-double bonds and the distribution of α-: β-double bonds depends on the preparation of the polyisobutenes (A).

Der Gehalt an Doppelbindungen wird bestimmt und den jeweiligen Strukturen zugeordnet gemäß der 13C-NMR Methode wie beschrieben in James J. Harrison, Donald C. Young, Charles L. Mayne, J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 693-699 .The content of double bonds is determined and assigned to the respective structures according to the 13 C-NMR method as described in James J. Harrison, Donald C. Young, Charles L. Mayne, J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 693-699 .

Die Vinylidengruppen zeigen die höchste Reaktivität, beispielsweise bei der thermischen Addition an sterisch anspruchsvolle Reaktionspartner wie Maleinsäureanhydrid, wohingegen eine weiter im Inneren der Makromoleküle liegende Doppelbindung in den meisten Fällen keine oder geringere Reaktivität bei Funktionalisierungsreaktionen zeigt.The vinylidene groups show the highest reactivity, for example with thermal addition to sterically demanding reaction partners such as maleic anhydride, whereas a double bond further inside the macromolecules shows no or less reactivity in most cases in functionalization reactions.

Häufig reagieren unter den Vinylidengruppen die α-Doppelbindungen schneller und bereitwilliger als die β-Doppelbindungen, so daß im Reaktionsgemisch im Verlauf der Reaktion die Reaktionsprodukte der Umsetzung der α-Doppelbindungen zunächst in höherem Maße gebildet werden als die der β-Doppelbindungen. Dies kann dazu führen, daß zur Umsetzung der β-Doppelbindungen schärfere Reaktionsbedingungen erforderlich sind als zur Umsetzung der α-Doppelbindungen.Often the α-double bonds among the vinylidene groups react faster and more readily than the β-double bonds, so that the reaction products of the conversion of the α-double bonds are initially formed to a greater extent than those of the β-double bonds in the reaction mixture. This can mean that more severe reaction conditions are required to convert the β double bonds than to convert the α double bonds.

Das zahlenmittlere Molekulargewicht Mn der in das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren einsetzbaren Polyisobutene beträgt von 200 bis 10000.The number average molecular weight M n of the polyisobutenes which can be used in the process according to the invention is from 200 to 10,000.

Die Polydispersität Mw/Mn kann von 1 bis 10, vorzugsweise von 1,05 bis 8, besonders bevorzugt von 1,1 bis 7, ganz besonders bevorzugt von 1,15 bis 6 und insbesondere bevorzugt von 1,2 bis 5 betragen.The polydispersity M w / M n can be from 1 to 10, preferably from 1.05 to 8, particularly preferably from 1.1 to 7, very particularly preferably from 1.15 to 6 and particularly preferably from 1.2 to 5.

Das gewichtsmittlere Molekulargewicht Mw kann aus diesen Daten für Mn und Polydispersität errechnet werden.The weight average molecular weight M w can be calculated from these data for M n and polydispersity.

Da Maleinsäureanhydrid als Komponente (B) bei ca. 202 °C siedet, wird die Reaktion bei Temperaturen oberhalb von 200 °C, bevorzugt oberhalb von 190 °C und besonders bevorzugt bereits bei Temperaturen oberhalb von 180 °C zumindest unter Eigendruck, bevorzugt unter leichtem Überdruck durchgeführt.Since maleic anhydride as component (B) boils at about 202 ° C., the reaction is carried out at temperatures above 200 ° C., preferably above 190 ° C. and particularly preferably at temperatures above 180 ° C., at least under autogenous pressure, preferably under slight pressure Overpressure carried out.

Caromax® 18) der Firma Petrochem Carless und Hydrosol der Firma DHC (z.B. als Hydrosol® A 170). Kohlenwasserstoffgemische aus Paraffinen, Cycloparaffinen und Aromaten sind auch unter den Bezeichnungen Kristallöl (beispielsweise Kristallöl 30, Siedebereich etwa 158 - 198 °C oder Kristallöl 60: CAS-Nr. 64742-82-1), Testbenzin (beispielsweise ebenfalls CAS-Nr. 64742-82-1) oder Solventnaphtha (leicht: Siedebereich etwa 155 - 180 °C, schwer: Siedebereich etwa 225 - 300 °C) im Handel erhältlich. Der Aromatengehalt derartiger Kohlenwasserstoffgemische beträgt in der Regel mehr als 90 Gew%, bevorzugt mehr als 95, besonders bevorzugt mehr als 98 und ganz besonders bevorzugt mehr als 99 Gew%. Es kann sinnvoll sein, Kohlenwasserstoffgemische mit einem besonders verringerten Gehalt an Naphthalin einzusetzen.Examples of this are the Solvesso® brands from ExxonMobil Chemical, especially Solvesso® 100 (CAS No. 64742-95-6, predominantly C 9 and C 10 aromatics, boiling range approx. 154 - 178 ° C), 150 (boiling range approx 182-207 ° C) and 200 (CAS No. 64742-94-5), as well as the Shellsol® brands from Shell, Caromax® (e.g. Caromax® 18) from Petrochem Carless and Hydrosol from DHC (e.g. as Hydrosol® A 170). Hydrocarbon mixtures of paraffins, cycloparaffins and aromatics are also known under the names Kristallöl (for example Kristallöl 30, boiling range about 158 - 198 ° C or Kristallöl 60: CAS No. 64742-82-1), white spirit (for example also CAS No. 64742- 82-1) or solvent naphtha (light: boiling range approx. 155 - 180 ° C, heavy: boiling range approx. 225 - 300 ° C) commercially available.

Dies hat den Vorteil, daß bei der Reaktionstemperatur der Reaktionspartner Komponente (B), Maleinsäureanhydrid im flüssigen Reaktionsgemisch verbleibt und nur zu einem geringen Anteil in die Gasphase ausweichen kann, so daß die Verfügbarkeit an Komponente (B) im Reaktionsgemisch erhöht wird.This has the advantage that at the reaction temperature of the reactants component (B), maleic anhydride, remains in the liquid reaction mixture and only a small proportion can escape into the gas phase, so that the availability of component (B) in the reaction mixture is increased.

In diesen Reaktionsschemata steht n für eine natürliche Zahl von 2 bis 39, bevorzugt von 3 bis 34, besonders bevorzugt von 4 bis 25, ganz besonders bevorzugt von 5 bis 19 und insbesondere von 6 bis 16.In these reaction schemes, n is a natural number from 2 to 39, preferably from 3 to 34, particularly preferably from 4 to 25, very particularly preferably from 5 to 19 and in particular from 6 to 16.

Das Verhältnis der höher zu den einfach maleinierten Komponenten zueinander kann durch den "Bismaleinierungsgrad" (BMG) angegeben werden. Der BMG ist an sich bekannt (Siehe auch US 5,883,196 ) und kann nach folgender Formel bestimmt werden: BMG = 100 % × wt % BM PIBSA / wt % BM PIBSA + wt- % PIBSA

The BMG is known per se (see also U.S. 5,883,196 ) and can be determined using the following formula: BMG = 100 % × wt - % BM PIBSA / wt - % BM PIBSA + wt- % PIBSA

where wt -% (X) stands for the respective weight fraction of component X (X = PIBSA (singly maleated polyisobutene) or BM PIBSA (more than singly maleated polyisobutene)) in the reaction product of polyisobutene with maleic anhydride.

Berechnet wird der Bismaleinierungsgrad bevorzugt aus der Verseifungszahl gemäß DIN 53401: 1988-06 der Probe. Dabei muß die Probe gegebenenfalls mit einem geeigneten Lösungsmittel solubilisiert werden, bevorzugt in einem 2:1 Gemisch aus Toluol und Ethanol.The degree of bismaleinization is preferably calculated from the saponification number according to DIN 53401: 1988-06 of the sample. The sample may have to be solubilized with a suitable solvent, preferably in a 2: 1 mixture of toluene and ethanol.

Dabei ist zu beachten, daß lediglich das Verhältnis der höher maleinierten Komponenten zu den einfach maleinierten Komponenten einbezogen wird, wohingegen im Reaktionsgemisch befindliches unumgesetztes Polyisobuten, beispielsweise solches, das keine reaktiven Doppelbindungen enthält, nicht in die Bestimmung des Bismaleinierungsgrades eingeht. Mithin kann das Reaktionsgemisch auch noch unumgesetztes Polyisobuten enthalten, was meist dem Anteil im eingesetzten Polyisobuten entspricht, der keine reaktiven Doppelbindungen enthält, wohingegen der reaktive Doppelbindungen enthaltende Anteil im Polyisobuten bevorzugt vollständig oder nahezu vollständig abreagiert.It should be noted that only the ratio of the more highly maleated components to the singly maleated components is included, whereas unreacted polyisobutene in the reaction mixture, for example that containing no reactive double bonds, is not included in the determination of the degree of bismaleination. The reaction mixture can therefore also contain unreacted polyisobutene, which usually corresponds to the proportion in the polyisobutene used which does not contain any reactive double bonds, whereas the reactive double bond-containing proportion in the polyisobutene preferably reacts completely or almost completely.

Der Anteil an im Reaktionsgemisch befindlichen, unumgesetztem Polyisobuten entspricht daher in der Regel dem oben angegebenen bis zu 100 fehlenden Anteil an reaktiven Doppelbindungen in den erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Isobutenhomo- oder -copolymeren.The proportion of unreacted polyisobutene in the reaction mixture therefore generally corresponds to the abovementioned proportion of up to 100 missing reactive double bonds in the isobutene homopolymers or copolymers which can be used according to the invention.

Der Anteil an unumgesetztem Polyisobuten beträgt bevorzugt nicht mehr als 30 Gew%, besonders bevorzugt nicht mehr als 25 Gew%, ganz besonders bevorzugt nicht mehr als 20 Gew%, insbesondere nicht mehr als 15 Gew% und speziell nicht mehr als 10 Gew%.The proportion of unreacted polyisobutene is preferably not more than 30% by weight, particularly preferably not more than 25% by weight, very particularly preferably not more than 20% by weight, in particular not more than 15% by weight and especially not more than 10% by weight.

Zur Bestimmung des Anteils an maleinierten Komponenten im Verhältnis zum unumgesetzten Polyisobuten wird das Reaktionsgemisch in n-Heptan gelöst und auf eine Säule mit Kieselgel 60 aufgebracht und mit n-Heptan eluiert, bis kein Produkt mehr im Eluat auftritt. Mit Hilfe einer Säulenchromatographie wird das unumgesetzten Polyisobuten von den maleinierten Komponenten getrennt, da die maleinierten Komponenten nicht eluiert werden. Nach Abtrennung des Lösungsmittels durch Destillation wird durch Abwiegen der Gewichtsanteil an maleinierten Komponenten im Reaktionsgemisch bestimmt.To determine the proportion of maleated components in relation to the unreacted polyisobutene, the reaction mixture is dissolved in n-heptane and applied to a column of silica gel 60 and eluted with n-heptane until no more product appears in the eluate. The unreacted polyisobutene is separated from the maleated components with the aid of column chromatography, since the maleated components are not eluted. After the solvent has been separated off by distillation, the weight fraction of maleated components in the reaction mixture is determined by weighing.

Die obige Formel kann analog auch auf andere Komponenten (B) als Maleinsäureanhydrid angewendet werden und wird hier auch für andere Komponenten (B) als Maleinsäureanhydrid einfachheitshalber ebenfalls als Bismaleinierungsgrad bezeichnet. Allgemein formuliert steht der Bismaleininerungsgrad also für den Gewichtsanteil von solchen Produkten, die mehr als eine Verbindung (B) pro Polyisobutenkette tragen im Verhältnis zur Gesamtmenge von Produkten, die eine oder mehr als eine Verbindung (B) pro Polyisobutenkette tragen, wobei nur solche Polyisobutenketten in die Bestimmung einbezogen werden, die reaktive Doppelbindungen tragen.The above formula can also be applied analogously to components (B) other than maleic anhydride and, for the sake of simplicity, is also referred to here as the degree of bismaleinization for components (B) other than maleic anhydride. In general terms, the degree of bismaleinification stands for the percentage by weight of products that contain more than one compound (B) per polyisobutene chain in relation to the total amount of products that contain one or more than one compound (B) per polyisobutene chain, only those polyisobutene chains being the determination to be included that carry reactive double bonds.

Gegenstand der erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung sind im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freie Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten, deren Bismaleinierungsgrad mindestens 11% beträgt.The use according to the invention relates to reaction products of polyisobutene which are essentially free of acid groups and whose degree of bismaleinization is at least 11%.

Mit weiterem Vorteil können solche im wesentlichen Säuregruppen freien Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyisobuten mit einem Bismaleinierungsgrad von mindestens 12% eingesetzt werden.With a further advantage, such essentially acid group-free reaction products of polyisobutene with a degree of bismaleinization of at least 12% can be used.

Der Bismaleinierungsgrad kann bis zu 40% betragen, bevorzugt bis zu 35%, besonders bevorzugt bis zu 30%, insbesondere bis zu 25% und speziell bis zu 20%.The degree of bismaleinization can be up to 40%, preferably up to 35%, particularly preferably up to 30%, in particular up to 25% and especially up to 20%.

Die besten Ergebnisse werden erzielt bei einem Bismaleinierungsgrad von 12 bis 35% und bevorzugt 15 bis 30%.The best results are achieved with a degree of bismaleinization of 12 to 35% and preferably 15 to 30%.

Aus dem Reaktionsprodukt der Komponenten (A) und (B) kann nach Beendigung der Reaktion bevorzugt überschüssige und unumgesetzte Komponente (B) abgetrennt werden, bevorzugt per Destillation oder Sublimation, denkbar ist aber auch beispielsweise eine Extraktion.After the reaction has ended, excess and unreacted component (B) can preferably be separated off from the reaction product of components (A) and (B), preferably by distillation or sublimation, but extraction, for example, is also conceivable.

Das so erhaltene Reaktionsgemisch wird bevorzugt von Quellen für Wasser, z.B. Luftfeuchtigkeit, ferngehalten, um eine Hydrolyse oder Verseifung von enthaltenen Ester- oder Anhydridgruppen so gering wie möglich zu halten.The reaction mixture so obtained is preferably obtained from sources of water, e.g. Humidity, kept away in order to keep hydrolysis or saponification of the ester or anhydride groups contained as low as possible.

Als Beispiele für obige Gruppen von Detergenz-Additiven seien die folgenden genannt:The following are examples of the above groups of detergent additives:

Mono- oder Polyaminogruppen (Da) enthaltende Additive sind vorzugsweise Polyalkenmono- oder Polyalkenpolyamine auf Basis von Polypropen oder von hochreaktivem (d.h. mit überwiegend endständigen Doppelbindungen) oder konventionellem (d.h. mit überwiegend mittenständigen Doppelbindungen) Polybuten oder Polyisobuten mit Mn = 300 bis 5000, besonders bevorzugt 500 bis 2500 und insbesondere 700 bis 2500. Derartige Additive auf Basis von hochreaktivem Polyisobuten, welche aus dem Polyisobuten, das bis zu 20 Gew.-% n-Buten-Einheiten enthalten kann, durch Hydroformylierung und reduktive Aminierung mit Ammoniak, Monoaminen oder Polyaminen wie Dimethyl-aminopropylamin, Ethylendiamin, Diethylentriamin, Triethylentetramin oder Tetraethylenpentamin hergestellt werden können, sind insbesondere aus der EP-A 244 616 bekannt. Geht man bei der Herstellung der Additive von Polybuten oder Polyisobuten mit überwiegend mittenständigen Doppelbindungen (meist in der β- und γ-Position) aus, bietet sich der Herstellweg durch Chlorierung und anschließende Aminierung oder durch Oxidation der Doppelbindung mit Luft oder Ozon zur Carbonyl- oder Carboxylverbindung und anschließende Aminierung unter reduktiven (hydrierenden) Bedingungen an. Zur Aminierung können hier Amine, wie z. B. Ammoniak, Monoamine oder die oben genannten Polyamine, eingesetzt werden. Entsprechende Additive auf Basis von Polypropen sind insbesondere in der WO-A 94/24231 beschrieben.Additives containing mono- or polyamino groups (Da) are preferably polyalkene mono- or polyalkene polyamines based on polypropene or highly reactive (ie with predominantly terminal double bonds) or conventional (ie with predominantly central double bonds) polybutene or polyisobutene with M n = 300 to 5000, especially preferably 500 to 2500 and in particular 700 to 2500.

If the production of the additives is based on polybutene or polyisobutene with predominantly central double bonds (mostly in the β and γ positions), the production route is by chlorination and subsequent amination or by oxidation of the double bond with air or ozone to form carbonyl or Carboxyl compound and subsequent amination under reductive (hydrogenating) conditions.

B3) KaltfließverbessererB3) cold flow improvers

Geeignete Kaltfließverbesserer sind im Prinzip alle organischen Verbindungen, welche in der Lage sind, das Fließverhalten von Mitteldestillat-Kraftstoffen bzw. Dieselkraftstoffen in der Kälte zu verbessern. Zweckmäßigerweise müssen sie eine ausreichende Öllöslichkeit aufweisen. Insbesondere kommen hierfür die üblicherweise bei Mitteldestillaten aus fossilem Ursprung, also bei üblichen mineralischen Dieselkraftstoffen, eingesetzten Kaltfließverbesserer ("middle distillate flow improvers", "MDFI") in Betracht. Jedoch können auch organische Verbindungen verwendet werden, die beim Einsatz in üblichen Dieselkraftstoffen zum Teil oder überwiegend die Eigenschaften eines Wax Anti-Settling Additivs ("WASA") aufweisen. Auch können sie zum Teil oder überwiegend als Nukleatoren wirken. Es können aber auch Mischungen aus als MDFI wirksamen und/oder als WASA wirksamen und/oder als Nukleatoren wirksamen organischen Verbindungen eingesetzt werden.Suitable cold flow improvers are in principle all organic compounds which are able to improve the flow behavior of middle distillate fuels or diesel fuels in the cold. Appropriately, they must have sufficient oil solubility. In particular, the cold flow improvers (“middle distillate flow improvers”, “MDFI”) used for middle distillates of fossil origin, that is to say for conventional mineral diesel fuels, are suitable for this. However, organic compounds can also be used which, when used in conventional diesel fuels, have partly or predominantly the properties of a wax anti-settling additive ("WASA"). They can also act partly or mainly as nucleators. However, mixtures of MDFI can also be used and / or organic compounds which are active as WASA and / or which are active as nucleators.

Typischerweise wird der Kaltfließverbesserer ausgewählt aus:

  • (K1) Copolymeren eines C2- bis C40-Olefins mit wenigstens einem weiteren ethylenisch ungesättigten Monomer;
  • (K2) Kammpolymeren;
  • (K3) Polyoxyalkylenen;
  • (K4) polaren Stickstoffverbindungen;

Typically, the cold flow improver is selected from:
  • (K1) copolymers of a C 2 - to C 40 -olefin with at least one further ethylenically unsaturated monomer;
  • (K2) comb polymers;
  • (K3) polyoxyalkylenes;
  • (K4) polar nitrogen compounds;
  • (K5) sulfocarboxylic acids or sulfonic acids or their derivatives; and

Im zuletzt genannten Fall kann die Kohlenstoff-Kohlenstoff-Doppelbindung sowohl terminal (α-Olefine) als auch intern angeordnet sein kann. Bevorzugt sind jedoch α-Olefine, besonders bevorzugt α-Olefine mit 2 bis 6 Kohlenstoffatomen, beispielsweise Propen, 1-Buten, 1-Penten, 1-Hexen und vor allem Ethylen.Suitable C 2 to C 40 olefin monomers for the copolymers of class (K1) are, for example, those with 2 to 20, in particular 2 to 10 carbon atoms and with 1 to 3, preferably 1 or 2, in particular with a carbon-carbon Double weave. In the latter case, the carbon-carbon double bond can be arranged both terminally (α-olefins) and also internally. However, preference is given to α-olefins, particularly preferably α-olefins having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, for example propene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene and, above all, ethylene.

Werden weitere Olefine mit einpolymerisiert, sind dies vorzugsweise höhermolekulare als das oben genannte C2- bis C40-Olefin-Basismonomere. Setzt man beispielsweise als Olefin-Basismonomer Ethylen oder Propen ein, eignen sich als weitere Olefine insbesondere C10- bis C40-α-Olefine. Weitere Olefine werden in den meisten Fällen nur dann mit einpolymerisiert, wenn auch Monomere mit Carbonsäureester-Funktionen eingesetzt werden.If further olefins are also polymerized in, these are preferably higher molecular weight than the above-mentioned C 2 to C 40 olefin base monomers. If, for example, ethylene or propene is used as the base olefin monomer, suitable further olefins are in particular C 10 to C 40 α-olefins.

Demnach enthielt das Reaktionsgemisch 13,4 Gew% unfunktionalisiertes Polyisobuten.10 ml of the solution were then eluted through a silica gel column in order to determine the content of unfunctionalized polyisobutene. All of the polyisobutene reacted with maleic anhydride was retained on the column and polyisobutene was eluted with hexane. The reaction mixture accordingly contained 13.4% by weight of unfunctionalized polyisobutene.

Nach den obigen Messungen enthielt das Reaktionsgemisch neben 13,4 Gew% unfunktionalisiertem Polyisobuten monofunktionalisiertes und difunktionalisiertes Polyisobutenbernsteinsäureanhydrid, woraus sich unter der Voraussetzung, daß keine anderen Nebenprodukte anwesend waren, ein Bismaleinierungsgrad von 40,3 % ergibt.According to the above measurements, the reaction mixture contained 13.4% by weight of unfunctionalized polyisobutene, monofunctionalized and difunctionalized polyisobutene succinic anhydride, which, provided that no other by-products were present, resulted in a degree of bismaleinization of 40.3%.
