Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lubricating oil additives, and in particular to a lubricating oil friction reducer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The main way to improve the fuel economy of internal combustion engines is to appropriately reduce the viscosity of oil products and reduce the friction loss between machine parts. The friction state of different parts of internal combustion engines is different. The energy consumption under boundary lubrication is an important aspect of friction energy consumption. Adding friction modifiers (referred to as friction reducers) is the most effective way to reduce boundary friction energy consumption. It improves fuel efficiency by reducing the friction of boundary and mixed lubrication. Friction reducers are a type of substance that can form an adsorption film or reaction film on the friction surface, thereby reducing the friction factor, improving lubrication performance, and having the ability to enhance oil film.

[0003] Since acid ester type friction reducers contain strong polar esteroxy groups in their molecules, they can form a dense metal film on the metal surface and have very excellent friction reducing properties. At the same time, since ester type friction reducers have extremely low acid values, they are beneficial in reducing corrosion to engine-related components and are the most promising type of friction reducers.

[0004] Oleic acid glyceride is one of the most widely used ashless friction reducers in internal combustion engine oil. It is a type of substance that can form an adsorption film or reaction film on the friction surface, thereby reducing the friction factor, improving lubrication performance and enhancing the oil film. Oleic acid glyceride has two hydroxyl groups and one ester group, which can be firmly adsorbed on the metal surface. In addition, the long-chain hydrocarbon group of oleic acid can extend into the oil to form a dense adsorption layer, thereby effectively reducing the friction between metal parts.

[0005] Foreign countries started research on acid ester friction reducers early, and CRODA, ExxonMobil and other companies have mature products. Currently, the oleic acid glyceride product produced by CRODA is available on the market under the code name Cithrol TM GMO, the company has a number of patents in the field of ester oils. Among them, patent US 14463118 introduces a method for preparing lubricating oil ester base oil through esterification and vacuum deacidification. Patent US15031898 prepares ester oil through esterification, acid addition to remove catalyst, steam deodorization, filtration and other steps. The preparation process and operation are relatively complicated.

[0006] CN113698294A discloses a method for preparing olein by reactive azeotropic distillation. However, the glycerol conversion rate achieved by the inventive process can only reach about 90.5% during the reaction, and a large amount of solvent and dehydrating agent are used in the reaction, so the process is relatively lengthy.

[0007] CN110511795A discloses a novel process for preparing oleic acid glyceride, an ester diesel antiwear agent. The process is relatively complicated, the product color is dark, the amount of catalyst used is large (15% to 50% by mass), and a large amount of solvent is used to produce a large amount of waste water, resulting in high production costs. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a lubricating oil friction reducer with a simple preparation process and good friction reducing performance and a preparation method thereof.

[0064] Comparative Example 4

[0065] Commercial olein GMO was used as comparative example 4.

[0066] The product 1 prepared in Example 1 was subjected to infrared analysis, and the analysis results were as follows: Figure 1 As shown, 3444.8cm -1 is the hydroxyl absorption peak, 1740.4cm-1 is the stretching vibration peak of the ester group, and 3008.24cm-1 is the stretching vibration peak of the carbon-carbon double bond.

[0067] Comparative Example 4 was used to compare the friction performance and oil solubility with Example 1.

[0068] The tribological properties of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 were investigated using an MTM (Mini-Traction Machine) micro-traction tester. The MTM test conditions were a load of 36 N, a sliding-rolling ratio (SRR) of 50%, and a temperature of 120°C.

[0069] The base oil is 150N produced by Formosa Plastics, and the product disclosed in the present invention is added at a ratio of 0.3%. The friction performance of the base oil before and after the friction reducer is added is evaluated on an MTM test machine. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0070] In order to investigate the friction performance of lubricating oil friction reducer in engine oil, SN0W-20 was selected as reference oil, and oleic acid glyceride synthesized in Example 1 and comparative example 4 were added at an addition amount of 0.5% to prepare the evaluation oil, which was evaluated on the MTM test machine. The experimental results are shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0071] At the same time, different additive amounts were used to conduct oil solubility experiments. The base oil was Formosa Plastics' 150N. It was found that the additive amount of Comparative Example 4 was less than 0.50%, and the additive amount of Example 1 was 1.5%. The experimental results are shown in the following table.

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] It can be seen from Table 1 that the lubricating oil friction reducer prepared according to the preparation method disclosed in the present invention has good oil solubility and good friction reducing property.

[0075] from Figure 2 It can be seen that the addition of olein reduces the friction coefficient of the base oil 150N, indicating that olein has good friction reduction performance. However, as the speed increases, the friction state transitions from boundary lubrication and mixed lubrication to fluid lubrication, and the reduction in the friction factor gradually decreases.

[0076] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the olein synthesized in Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 were added to the SN0W-20 oil respectively, which significantly reduced the friction coefficient of the moving contact parts in the boundary lubrication and mixed lubrication regions, thereby improving the lubrication performance. This shows that olein has good friction reduction performance, and the synthesized olein GMO is better than the friction reduction performance of Comparative Example 4.

[0077] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the preparation method of the acid ester friction reducer provided by the present disclosure is simple in process, the post-treatment is not complicated and no waste water is generated. The present disclosure mainly optimizes the synthesis route, determines the optimal feed ratio and feed sequence of the reaction, so that the obtained oleic acid glyceride product has a light yellow liquid appearance, the polyoleic acid glyceride content in the product is low, less than 10%, and the yield is high at more than 96%. The performance of the product is greatly improved, and the experimental results show that the product has a light color appearance, good oil solubility, and excellent friction reduction performance.

[0078] The above description only describes the specific implementation methods of the present disclosure. Various examples do not limit the essential content of the present disclosure. After reading the description, ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field can modify or deform the specific implementation methods described above without departing from the essence and scope of the present disclosure.
