[0002] Metallocene polyalphaolefin (mPAO) is a synthetic lubricant base oil formed by polymerization of high carbon number alpha olefins, such as 1-hexene and 1-octene, especially 1-decene, under the action of metallocene catalysts. Due to its unique long straight alkane main chain and multi-side chain structure, it has viscosity-temperature characteristics and low-temperature fluidity that mineral oil does not have. It is currently one of the most widely used base oils in synthetic engine oils, gear oils and other industrial oils and greases. The synthetic oil prepared by it greatly expands the application range of lubricating greases under low temperature, high temperature, high load and other harsh conditions. It has excellent viscosity-temperature performance, thermal oxidation stability, lubrication and anti-wear performance and detergency, greatly prolongs the oil change period, slows down the corrosion and wear of equipment, reduces the maintenance cycle of equipment, and improves the utilization rate and service life of equipment, making it an excellent substitute for traditional lubricants.

[0047] Specifically, the alkylation reaction temperatures of Examples 2 to 3 are 70° C. and 95° C., respectively.

[0051] Comparative Example 1

[0052] This comparative example is a comparative example of Example 1, and the only difference from Example 1 is that the alkylation reaction temperature is different, that is, the alkylation reaction temperature is 110° C., and the rest of the preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0053] Embodiments 4 to 7

[0054] Examples 4 to 7 provide specific alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compounds, and the preparation method is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that the alkylation reaction temperature is 90° C., and the amount of catalyst added is different, and the amount of catalyst added in Examples 4 to 7 is 0.67%, 1.33%, 2.62%, and 4%, respectively. The rest of the preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0055] Embodiments 8 to 11

[0056] Examples 8 to 11 provide specific alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compounds, and the preparation method is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that the alkylation reaction temperature is 90° C., and the alkylation reaction time is different, which is 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, and 12 h in Examples 8 to 11, respectively. The rest of the preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0057] Example 12

[0058] The present invention provides a specific alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound, which is basically prepared by the same method as in Example 1, except that the amounts of mPAO and TPPT used are 140 g and 13 g, respectively. The other preparation methods are the same as in Example 1.

[0059] Performance Test:

[0060] 1. The alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compounds prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to viscosity test and sulfur content test. The kinematic viscosity was tested at 100° C. using GB / T265-1988 “Method for determination of kinematic viscosity of petroleum products and method for calculation of dynamic viscosity”. The sulfur content was tested using ASTM D2622. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0061] Table 1 Effect of alkylation reaction temperature on product viscosity and sulfur content

[0062]

[0063] It can be seen from Table 1 that the alkylation reaction temperature has a significant effect on the product viscosity and sulfur content. Specifically, as the alkylation reaction temperature increases, the sulfur content in the product increases from 0.302% to 0.480%, and the product viscosity increases with the increase in alkylation reaction temperature at the beginning. When the alkylation reaction temperature exceeds 70°C, the product viscosity begins to decrease. When the alkylation reaction temperature increases to 110°C, the product viscosity decreases to 138mm 2 / s, even lower than the viscosity of the raw material mPAO 150mm 2 / s. This is because as the temperature increases, the cracking reaction of mPAO gradually increases, producing smaller olefins, reducing steric hindrance, facilitating alkylation reactions, and increasing sulfur content. However, excessive cracking reactions lead to shorter molecular chains, lower viscosity, and wider molecular weight distribution of the products. Therefore, the reaction temperature should be controlled within a certain range to reduce the occurrence of cracking reactions and ensure that the product has a certain sulfur content.

[0064] 2. The viscosity and sulfur content of the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compounds prepared in Examples 4 to 6 and Comparative Example 2 were tested. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0065] Table 2 Effect of catalyst dosage on product viscosity and sulfur content

[0066]

[0067] From Table 2, it can be seen that the amount of catalyst used has a significant effect on the sulfur content and viscosity of the modified mPAO product. Specifically, the sulfur content gradually increases with the increase in the amount of catalyst used, from 0.1% to 0.426%. The viscosity of the product initially increases with the increase in the amount of catalyst used, reaching a maximum of 174 mm 2 / s, but when the catalyst dosage is higher than 2.62%, the viscosity decreases rapidly. This is because the increase in catalyst dosage can provide more B acid, which is conducive to the alkylation reaction of TPPT and mPAO, resulting in an increase in the sulfur content in the product, but the higher acidity promotes the β-scission reaction to generate smaller olefins, allowing more alkylation reactions to occur, resulting in an increase in the sulfur content of the product and a decrease in viscosity.

[0068] 3. The viscosity and sulfur content of the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compounds prepared in Examples 8 to 11 were tested. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0069] Table 3 Effect of alkylation reaction time on product viscosity and sulfur content

[0070]

[0071] It can be seen from Table 3 that after 2 hours of reaction, the sulfur content in the product reached 0.31%. As the reaction time was extended to 12 hours, the sulfur content gradually increased, with a maximum value of 0.386%. The viscosity of the product began to gradually decrease after 4 hours of reaction, indicating that a slight cracking reaction occurred during this process.

[0072] 4. The initial oxidation temperature (IOT) of the metallocene poly-α-olefin and the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compounds prepared in Examples 2-3, Examples 5-6 and Comparative Example 1 was tested by differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC), and the oxygen pressure of the PDSC test cell was 3.5 MPa. The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0073] Table 4 Effect of different sulfur contents on the initial oxidation temperature of the product

[0074]

[0075] It can be seen from Table 4 that IOT increases with the increase of sulfur content, from 178°C of raw material mPAO to a maximum of 225°C. This phenomenon shows that increasing the sulfur content is beneficial to improving the antioxidant properties of the product.

[0076] 5. Oven oxidation test was performed on mPAO, A-mPAO and the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound prepared in Example 2. A-mPAO is an mPAO base oil containing 1.5 wt% TPPT prepared at room temperature (the saturated concentration of TPPT in mPAO is 1.55 wt%). The samples were subjected to accelerated oxidation treatment at 150°C with copper and iron as catalysts, and the acid value of the samples was measured every 24 hours. The test results are shown in Table 5. The acid value was tested using GB / T4945.

[0077] The infrared spectrum test was carried out on the sample after the 96h oven oxidation test. The FT-IR spectrum is shown in the figure below. Figure 4 shown.

[0078] Table 5 Acid value data of oven oxidation experiment

[0079]

[0080] As shown in Table 5, as the oxidation test continued, the acid values ​​of all samples showed an upward trend. In A-mPAO, the acid value increased significantly faster. In contrast, the acid value of the unmodified mPAO increased the fastest, while the acid value of the modified mPAO increased the slowest. After the 96h oxidation experiment, the order of acid value was: A-mPAO>mPAO>Example 2. It shows that the antioxidant properties of the alkylated metallocene polyalphaolefin compound improved by TPPT are improved, while directly adding TPPT to mPAO will reduce the antioxidant properties. This is because both mPAO and A-mPAO contain olefin double bonds, and their acid value increase rate is faster than that of Example 2, and for A-mPAO, TPPT dissolved in mPAO is easily hydrolyzed with moisture in the air to form phenol, which can trigger further oxidation reactions, so the antioxidant properties are worse than mPAO.

[0081] Figure 4 Middle, located at 1720cm -1 The newly appeared absorption peak is attributed to the vibration of the carbonyl group (C=O) produced after the oil is oxidized, and the intensity of the absorption peak is consistent with the order of the acid value of the sample.

[0082] 6. The tribological properties of mPAO, A-mPAO and the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound prepared in Example 2 were evaluated using a four-ball friction tester. The test method was: the anti-wear properties of the samples were evaluated using the SH / T 0189 method, the test temperature was 75°C, the load was 196N, and the speed was 1200rpm. The test results are shown in Table 6.

[0083] Table 6 Tribological performance test results on four-ball friction tester

[0084] sample Average friction coefficient Wear spot diameter / mm mPAO 0.095 0.624 A-mPAO 0.077 0.275 Example 2 0.066 0.225

[0085] It can be seen from Table 6 that the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound modified by TPPT has excellent anti-wear properties.

[0086] 7. The tribological properties of mPAO, A-mPAO and the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound prepared in Example 2 were tested in a point-to-surface mode using a TE77 reciprocating friction tester. The test method was: a point-to-surface contact friction test was performed at 75°C for 60 minutes using a steel ball with a diameter of 8 mm and a fixed steel plate (GCr15), with a load of 392 N and a reciprocating frequency of 5 Hz. The test results are shown in Table 7.

[0087] Table 7 Tribological properties test results of samples on TE77 reciprocating friction tester

[0088]

[0089] It can be seen from Table 7 that compared with the base oil mPAO, the wear rate of A-mPAO is reduced by 25%, while the wear rate of Example 2 is greatly reduced by 72.7%. The above results all show that the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound modified by TPPT has excellent anti-wear properties, which is consistent with the results of the four-ball friction test.

[0090] 8. The extreme pressure performance of mPAO, A-mPAO and the alkylated metallocene poly-α-olefin compound prepared in Example 2 was tested using the maximum no-seizure load P in accordance with GB / T 12583-1998. B and sintering point P D , the test results are shown in Table 8.

[0091] Table 8 P of samples B and P D Comparison results

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] It can be seen from Table 8 that the extreme pressure performance of the modified alkylated metallocene polyα-olefin compound has been greatly improved. Compared with mPAO, the P B Improved by 2.5 times, P D The P of alkylated metallocene polyalphaolefin compounds was increased by 2 times compared to A-mPAO. B Improved by 1.4 times, P D It has been increased by 1.25 times, showing excellent extreme pressure performance.

[0096] Kinematic viscosity: GB / T265-1988 “Method for determination of kinematic viscosity and calculation of dynamic viscosity of petroleum products” was used to test kinematic viscosity at 100°C and 40°C.

[0097] Viscosity index: GB / T 1995.

[0098] Pour point: Pour point was determined using GB / T 3535-2006.
