Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of diesel engine oil additive technology, in particular to a low-ash high-alkalinity environmentally friendly diesel engine oil antioxidant composition and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, in order to solve the increasingly prominent problem of air pollution, the vehicle pollutant emission standard has been upgraded for many times, especially more stringent requirements for particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions, and the aftertreatment technology of diesel engine has also been continuously developed. At present, with the innovation of engine technology and the gradual implementation of national six emission regulations, OEM manufacturers have upgraded their filling oils and after-sales oils, and require low-ash diesel engine oils with long oil change period.

[0003] At present, national six commercial vehicle engine oils all require API CJ-4 / CK-4 / FA-4 or ACEA E6 / E8 / E9 / E11 specification diesel engine oils with ash content not greater than 1.0% (mass fraction) to protect the vehicle aftertreatment device. The ash mainly comes from the detergent component providing alkalinity in the oil, and the limit value of ash and the increase of alkalinity are mutually restricted. Therefore, how to meet the low-ash limit value requirement of environmentally friendly oil while effectively improving the initial alkalinity and antioxidant performance of the product, and thus enhancing the durability of the oil and bringing a longer oil change period for commercial vehicles, has become a difficult problem to be solved.

[0004] In the prior art, CN 102690714 A discloses a railway high-speed diesel engine lubricating oil composition, but it only optimizes the antioxidant performance of the lubricating oil, and does not involve the contradiction between ash content and alkalinity, so it can be seen that there is still room for improvement in the current lubricating oil. SUMMARY

[0005] Diesel engines often need to be used under high load and high temperature conditions, and the oil will continuously produce acidic substances with oxidation. The initial alkalinity provided by the oil neutralizes these acidic substances, reducing the risk of acid corrosion of the engine. After the alkalinity decreases to a certain extent, the oil reaches the recommended oil change period, i.e. it needs to be replaced. The alkalinity of diesel engine oil in the prior art is mainly provided by functional additives containing calcium, magnesium, zinc, molybdenum, boron, etc. Excessive addition of the above functional additives can increase the alkalinity of the product, but at the same time, it will also bring too high sulfate ash, which may block the vehicle's aftertreatment device, adversely affect the environment through vehicle emissions, and make it difficult for diesel engine oil to meet the high standard of environmental quality requirements.

[0006] The application unexpectedly discovers that, by compounding a specific phenolic ester antioxidant with a sulfenide antioxidant and an amine antioxidant, the alkalinity can be effectively contributed without generating sulfate ash, and the antioxidant performance of the oil product can be improved.

[0007] Specifically, the technical solutions of the application are as follows:

[0008] The application provides an additive composition of diesel engine oil, which comprises dialkyldiphenylamine, a phenolic ester compound and a sulfenide compound in a mass ratio of (2-8):1:1. wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different C1-C8 alkyl;

[0009] The molecular weight of the phenolic ester compound is 200-400.

[0010] The application finds that, by compounding the phenolic ester compound with the above molecular weight with a sulfenide antioxidant and an amine antioxidant and applying the compound to diesel engine oil, the alkalinity can be significantly improved without increasing the ash content of the oil product, and the antioxidant performance of the oil product can be improved, thereby solving the problem that the service life of lubricating oil and environmental protection cannot be considered simultaneously.

[0011] In the application, the phenolic ester compound is a liquid high-molecular phenolic ester antioxidant; preferably, the phenolic ester compound is 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl propionate and / or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl propionate, and the effect is better.

[0016] Preferably, the molecular weight of the dialkyldiphenylamine is 300-500, and / or the base value of the dialkyldiphenylamine is 150-200 mgKOH / g.

[0017] Preferably, the dialkyldiphenylamine is butyloctyl diphenylamine.

[0018] In the present application, the skilled person in the art can apply different butyloctyl diphenylamine type antioxidants to the additive composition as needed, including but not limited to the following trade models: T534 (Beijing Xingpu Fine Chemical Technology Development Co., Ltd.), RF5057 (Xinxiang Ruifeng New Material Co., Ltd.), L57 (BASF), etc.

[0019] The present application also provides a diesel engine oil containing the antioxidant composition described above.

[0020] Preferably, the amount of the antioxidant composition is 0.2-2.0 wt% based on the total mass of the diesel engine oil; more preferably, the amount of the antioxidant composition is 0.4-1.0 wt%.

[0021] Preferably, the base oil in the diesel engine oil is HVI Group II base oil.

[0022] Preferably, the kinematic viscosity of the base oil at 100°C is 4.0-11.0 mm 2 / s.

[0023] The present application finds that the antioxidant composition can synergistically further improve the comprehensive performance of the oil product when compounded with the HVI Group II base oil with the above kinematic viscosity.
