Definitions
- Lignin is the main structural component of the plant and is nature's most abundant organic polymers with varying content of aromatic/Phenolic/ether functionalities. Lignin is isolated as the by-products in the traditional paper pulping industry as well as from biomass conversion technologies or solvent pulping process and through which lignin is physically modified or chemically derivativized into sulfonates (e.g. Sulfite process), thio-lignin (Kraft process), or sulfur-free lignins (e.g. Soda process).
- Sulfite process e.g. Sulfite process
- thio-lignin Kell process
- sulfur-free lignins e.g. Soda process
- lignin and its derivatives have been limited primarily to polymeric systems such as resin/adhesive applications (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,656,733) where lignin is used as fillers/binders to cross link through its phenolic/hydroxy functionalities to provide the structural strength.
- Other use of lignin has been disclosed in the rubber processing (U.S. Pat. No. 5,196,460), for instance, as tackifier and antioxidants, and as emulsifiers/surfactants (lignin sulfonates: Asphalt emulsion: U.S. Pat. No. 5,683,497, Oil field enhanced oil recovery: U.S. Pat. No.
- Lignins are practically insoluble in hydrocarbon oils with generally high softening points or glass transition temperature, e.g. in the range of 100-170° C. (Wood Sci. Technol. 19: 139-149 (1985) that do not allow them to be easily melted and/or blended into lubricant products. It is therefore rather surprising to find that Lignin Derivatives as disclosed in the present invention can be readily incorporated into compositions in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, or solid under relatively mild or even ambient conditions yielding the products with good uniformity and stability and novel performance characteristics as disclosed hereinafter.
- the present invention relates to a novel lubricant composition in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, solid, or water/glycol based emulsion, comprising Lignin Derivatives with a dosage ranging from 0.01 to 95 wt %, preferably 0.1% to 80 wt %, or even more preferably 0.5 to 60 wt % dispersed in base oils, thickener, or additive components with at least one or more components selected from the following categories:
- One embodiment of the present invention relates to a lubricant composition
- a lubricant composition comprising Lignin Derivatives that is used in the range of 0.01 to 95 wt %, preferably 0.1% to 80%, or even more preferably 0.5% to 60%, wherein the desired dosage range is determined by what is required for the compositions to perform under specific applications.
- Another embodiment of the present invention relates to the chemical and physical natures of the Lignin Derivatives that are employed or sourced, e.g., from one or more of the following processes:
- a lubricant composition being in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, solid, or water/glycol based emulsion wherein the Lignin Derivatives with particle sizes ranging from 0.001 micron (1 nm) to 200 micron are uniformly dispersed within the lubricant media yielding the compositions that are haze free suitable for lubricant applications.
- lubricant composition may be defined by the following table according to the worked penetration ranges (e.g. from NLGI grade 000 to NLGI Grade 5, see web link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLGI_Grade):
- Lignin based composition can be in the form of solid or paste lubricants where they can be used for wiring drawing or deep drawing applications for various metals.
- Lignin Derivatives may be micronized so it may further enhance the emulsion stability, e.g. through air/jet milling or through the use of supercritical fluids, e.g. the RESS process (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions), the SAS method (Supercritical Anti-Solvent), or the PGSS method (Particles from Gas Saturated Solutions), or any other methods that are intended to reduce and particle sizes of Lignin Derivatives.
- supercritical fluids e.g. the RESS process (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions), the SAS method (Supercritical Anti-Solvent), or the PGSS method (Particles from Gas Saturated Solutions), or any other methods that are intended to reduce and particle sizes of Lignin Derivatives.
- the base oil, thickener, or additive used in the lubricant composition is in the range of 5 to 99.99%, preferably from 20 to 99.9 wt %, or even more preferably from 40 to 99.5 wt %:
- Base oils that can be used may be synthetics such as PAO, alkyl aromatics, or esters, or mineral oils of Group I/II/III types.
- Thickeners may include soap thickener e.g. Li, Ca, or Al types, or non-soap thickener such as, but not limited to, Silica or PU types.
- Additives include those such as surfactants, coupling components such as, but not limited to, alcohols, phenols, glycols, or the alike.
- Lubricant additives such as, but not limited to, Antioxidants, EP/AW additives, or pour points depressants may also be used.
- the lubrication composition formulated as described above provides a stable dispersed system in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, or solid, whereupon the Lignin Derivatives function as a multifunctional additive exhibiting significantly improved and synergistic performance such as antioxidancy, extreme pressure, antiwear, or lubricity properties that are of great values as heavy duty and environmentally friendly lubricants or greases to replace those formulated with traditional EP/AW additives such as Molybdenum disulfide, graphite, Molybdenum additives such as MOLYVAN A or L of R. T. Vanderbilt, or other S/P additives.
- Lignin Derivatives function as a multifunctional additive exhibiting significantly improved and synergistic performance such as antioxidancy, extreme pressure, antiwear, or lubricity properties that are of great values as heavy duty and environmentally friendly lubricants or greases to replace those formulated with traditional EP/AW additives such as Molybdenum disulfide, graphite, Molybden
- the Lignin Derivatives was shown surprisingly as a highly effective rheology control agent to control structural and/or viscosity enhancements/adjustments to the lubricant composition as disclosed in the examples of the present invention, which are particularly useful for grease and metal working applications as well as for oil field drilling fluid application, for instance, to prevent fluid loss or to enhance mud stability/integrity.
- FIG. 1 shows the unique and novel thickening/dosage effect of Star-shape glycols measured by the Slurry viscosity, in comparison with other glycol such as PEG400 and with the use of additive package.
- Ligand Derivatives includes lignin sulfonates, thio lignin, sulfur-free lignin,
- lubricant composition is used to describe a composition in the form of oil, gel, grease, or paste as may be described by NLGI grade ((e.g. from NLGI grade 000 to NLGI Grade 5, see web link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLGI_Grade)
- water/glycol based emulsion relates to the lubricant composition comprises water and/or glycol emulsion.
- emulsifiers When properly formulated with emulsifiers, co-emulsifier, surfactants and coupling agents, and hydroxy containing components, Lignin Derivatives can be made into a stable emulsion concentrate that made be further diluted with water or glycol wherein the emulsion may be useful for metal working or for oil field applications.
- base oil includes base oils with low aniline points e.g., alkyl benzene, e.g. dialkylbenzene, or heavy alkylbenzene available from the bottom of LAB and BAB process, alkyl naphthalene, dialkyl phenyl ethers, and the alike, or base oils with oxygen or polar substituents, e.g. polyalkylene glycols such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide block or copolymers, or esters such as polyol or aromatic esters, or with additional hydroxy functionalities such as castor oils and its derivatives, or dioleate, or sorbitan oleates and the alike,
- base oils with low aniline points e.g., alkyl benzene, e.g. dialkylbenzene, or heavy alkylbenzene available from the bottom of LAB and BAB process, alkyl naphthalene, dialkyl phenyl ethers, and the alike, or base oils

Description
- This application is a continuation in-part of Ser. No. 61/328,873, Filed on Apr. 28, 2010 and titled “Lignin Derivatives for lubricant and grease applications” and Ser. No. 61/533,227, filed on Sep. 11, 2011, titled “Lignin based grease improvements”.
- Lignin is the main structural component of the plant and is nature's most abundant organic polymers with varying content of aromatic/Phenolic/ether functionalities. Lignin is isolated as the by-products in the traditional paper pulping industry as well as from biomass conversion technologies or solvent pulping process and through which lignin is physically modified or chemically derivativized into sulfonates (e.g. Sulfite process), thio-lignin (Kraft process), or sulfur-free lignins (e.g. Soda process). For a comprehensive review on the commercial processes in isolating/modifying lignin, see J. Polymer and the environment, vol. 10, nos. 1-2, April 2002, page 39-48. The use of lignin and its derivatives, collectively called “Lignin Derivatives” hereinafter, has been limited primarily to polymeric systems such as resin/adhesive applications (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,656,733) where lignin is used as fillers/binders to cross link through its phenolic/hydroxy functionalities to provide the structural strength. Other use of lignin has been disclosed in the rubber processing (U.S. Pat. No. 5,196,460), for instance, as tackifier and antioxidants, and as emulsifiers/surfactants (lignin sulfonates: Asphalt emulsion: U.S. Pat. No. 5,683,497, Oil field enhanced oil recovery: U.S. Pat. No. 5,114,599) or cleaning detergents (modified lignin polymers containing anionic, cationic, and/or alkoxy substitution, US 2010/0075878). Lignins are practically insoluble in hydrocarbon oils with generally high softening points or glass transition temperature, e.g. in the range of 100-170° C. (Wood Sci. Technol. 19: 139-149 (1985) that do not allow them to be easily melted and/or blended into lubricant products. It is therefore rather surprising to find that Lignin Derivatives as disclosed in the present invention can be readily incorporated into compositions in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, or solid under relatively mild or even ambient conditions yielding the products with good uniformity and stability and novel performance characteristics as disclosed hereinafter.
- The present invention relates to a novel lubricant composition in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, solid, or water/glycol based emulsion, comprising Lignin Derivatives with a dosage ranging from 0.01 to 95 wt %, preferably 0.1% to 80 wt %, or even more preferably 0.5 to 60 wt % dispersed in base oils, thickener, or additive components with at least one or more components selected from the following categories:
- 2) Surfactants or coupling agents,
3) Lubricant additives,
4) Grease thickeners of soap or non-soap type, whereupon the Lignin Derivatives were found to function as multifunctional additives exhibiting improved and synergistic performance such as antioxidancy, extreme pressure, antiwear, lubricity, as well as rheology modifying characteristics, e.g. thickening effect, for a broad range of lubricant, grease, or oil field drilling applications - One embodiment of the present invention relates to a lubricant composition comprising Lignin Derivatives that is used in the range of 0.01 to 95 wt %, preferably 0.1% to 80%, or even more preferably 0.5% to 60%, wherein the desired dosage range is determined by what is required for the compositions to perform under specific applications.
- Another embodiment of the present invention relates to the chemical and physical natures of the Lignin Derivatives that are employed or sourced, e.g., from one or more of the following processes:
- 1) Isolation/purification through industrial paper pulping processes, such as, but not limited to, paper pulping process including Sulfite, Kraft, or Soda, or solvent pulping (“organosolve”) and the alike,
2) Physical modification of lignin, e.g. milling to reduce particle size, or
3) Chemical modification of Lignin, e.g. Lignin sulfonates - Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a lubricant composition being in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, solid, or water/glycol based emulsion wherein the Lignin Derivatives with particle sizes ranging from 0.001 micron (1 nm) to 200 micron are uniformly dispersed within the lubricant media yielding the compositions that are haze free suitable for lubricant applications.
- In yet another embodiment of the present invention relates to the forms (oil, gel, grease, or paste) of the lubricant composition may be defined by the following table according to the worked penetration ranges (e.g. from NLGI grade 000 to NLGI Grade 5, see web link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLGI_Grade):
-

- In yet another embodiment of the present invention, Lignin Derivatives may be micronized so it may further enhance the emulsion stability, e.g. through air/jet milling or through the use of supercritical fluids, e.g. the RESS process (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions), the SAS method (Supercritical Anti-Solvent), or the PGSS method (Particles from Gas Saturated Solutions), or any other methods that are intended to reduce and particle sizes of Lignin Derivatives.
- Another embodiment of the present disclosure relates to the base oil, thickener, or additive used in the lubricant composition is in the range of 5 to 99.99%, preferably from 20 to 99.9 wt %, or even more preferably from 40 to 99.5 wt %:
- 1) Surfactants or coupling agents,
2) Lubricant additives,
3) Grease thickeners of soap or non-soap type - Furthermore, these base oils, thickener, and additives are chosen in such a combination so that they provide the polarity and the dispersancy necessary to enhance the dispersion stability of Lignin Derivatives and to provide additive functions that may be required for the intended applications.

Thickeners may include soap thickener e.g. Li, Ca, or Al types, or non-soap thickener such as, but not limited to, Silica or PU types. Additives include those such as surfactants, coupling components such as, but not limited to, alcohols, phenols, glycols, or the alike. Lubricant additives such as, but not limited to, Antioxidants, EP/AW additives, or pour points depressants may also be used.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the lubrication composition formulated as described above provides a stable dispersed system in the form of oil, gel, grease, paste, or solid, whereupon the Lignin Derivatives function as a multifunctional additive exhibiting significantly improved and synergistic performance such as antioxidancy, extreme pressure, antiwear, or lubricity properties that are of great values as heavy duty and environmentally friendly lubricants or greases to replace those formulated with traditional EP/AW additives such as Molybdenum disulfide, graphite, Molybdenum additives such as MOLYVAN A or L of R. T. Vanderbilt, or other S/P additives.
- In yet another embodiment, according to the disclosures of the present invention, the Lignin Derivatives was shown surprisingly as a highly effective rheology control agent to control structural and/or viscosity enhancements/adjustments to the lubricant composition as disclosed in the examples of the present invention, which are particularly useful for grease and metal working applications as well as for oil field drilling fluid application, for instance, to prevent fluid loss or to enhance mud stability/integrity.
