Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an 8B lubricating oil base oil and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of aviation lubricating oil base oil preparation. Background Technology

[0002] Aviation lubricants refer to liquid lubricants used in aircraft engines, instruments, and equipment. To meet the demanding working environment of the aviation industry, aviation lubricants typically possess excellent lubricity, good fluidity, a high flash point, and a wide operating temperature range. 8B lubricating oil base oil, as a primary lubricating oil base oil for aircraft engines and also used in military applications, has increasingly stringent requirements for its physicochemical properties. With the continuous development and expansion of the aviation industry, the application of 8B lubricating oil base oil is becoming more widespread, and the demand is gradually increasing.

[0003] 8B lubricating oil base oil is usually synthesized from soft wax cracked olefins, but the yield of 8B base oil synthesized from this raw material is low. Chen Xinde et al. (Semi-refined wax cracked olefins for the synthesis of 8B and No. 20 aviation lubricating oils [J]. Refining Technology and Engineering: 2007, 37(2), 18-21) published a synthesis method for 8B aviation lubricating oil, using wax cracked olefins as raw material and AlCl3 as catalyst, the yield of 8B base oil was only 13.6%, and the pour point was -61℃. Zhang Yuguang (Optimization of process conditions for 8B aviation jet lubricating oil [J]. Journal of Liaoning University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology: 2009, 29(4), 47-49) published a production process for synthesizing 8B aviation jet lubricating oil from wax cracked olefins, using AlCl3 catalyst, the yield of the obtained base oil was only 19.5%, and the pour point was -64℃. It can be seen that the yield of 8B lubricating oil base oil prepared from wax cracked olefins is low. Meanwhile, with the gradual optimization of olefin synthesis processes, wax cracking olefins are gradually being phased out, and the supply will become increasingly scarce. At the same time, with the development of ethylene oligomerization processes, the production capacity of α-olefins from ethylene oligomerization is increasing year by year. Li Hongping et al. (Analysis of the Synthesis Process of Aviation Jet Engine Lubricating Oil (8B) Base Oil [J]. Lubricating Oil: 2016, 31(6), 57-64) used 1-octene and 1-decene as raw materials and AlCl3 as a catalyst to synthesize 8B lubricating oil base oil. The yield of the obtained product was about 35%, and the pour point was -66℃. The yield of this synthesis method is also relatively low.

[0004] It is evident that the preparation of 8B lubricating oil base oil currently mainly uses AlCl3 catalyst. Although using synthetic α-olefins to replace wax-cracked olefins can effectively improve product yield, the improved yield is still very low, resulting in low synthesis efficiency and affecting the economics of production.

[0005] Therefore, developing a novel method for preparing 8B lubricating oil base oil has become one of the urgent problems to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0104] As can be seen from Tables 3 and 4 above, the preparation method of this invention uses octene as a raw material, thus optimizing the raw material source for 8B lubricating oil base oil. Simultaneously, the specific BF3 catalyst system of this invention exhibits good selectivity for oligomerization, especially the catalyst system using the alcohol derivatives of this invention as co-catalysts, which demonstrates superior catalytic effect, thereby significantly improving the yield of 8B lubricating oil base oil. Furthermore, the prepared 8B lubricating oil base oil possesses good quality, particularly with its low pour point. The 8B lubricating oil base oil prepared by the method of this invention is more suitable for harsh operating environments such as those of aero-engines.
