Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine oil, and more particularly to a biodegradable stern oil composition. Background Art

[0002] Steam turbine is a kind of power machine that converts heat energy into mechanical energy. With the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, more and more countries explicitly require the use of biodegradable lubricants in environmentally sensitive areas, such as forests, water sources, and mines. In some waters, it is required that the oil used in equipment that may come into contact with seawater on commercial ships larger than 79 feet must be a biodegradable product, including the ship stern oil used in the stern tube. In order to meet market demand, it is imperative to develop environmentally friendly biodegradable stern oils. Therefore, a biodegradable stern oil composition is now proposed. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a biodegradable stern oil composition, which has excellent biodegradability and extremely low aquatic toxicity and accumulation, and meets the German Blue Angel environmental protection label certification requirements.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a biodegradable stern oil composition, comprising a lubricating oil composition, characterized in that: the lubricating oil composition is composed of a base oil and an additive, the base oil comprises 90% to 100% of an ester base oil; the additives comprise 0.1% to 1.0% of an antioxidant, 0.1% to 1.0% of an extreme pressure anti-wear agent, 0.1% to 0.5% of a rust inhibitor, 0.1% to 0.5% of an anti-foaming agent, 0.1% to 0.5% of a demulsifier, and 0.1% to 0.5% of a metal deactivator;

[0005] The base oil includes polyol ester, complex ester, and the base oil mainly considers biodegradability, and tends to be a base oil with good biodegradability.

[0006] Preferably, the antioxidant comprises a phenolic antioxidant, an amine antioxidant; the phenolic antioxidant comprises 2-tert-butylphenol; the amine antioxidant comprises phenyl-α-naphthylamine, or diphenylamine, including nonylated diphenylamine; or any combination thereof.

[0007] Preferably, the extreme pressure antiwear agent comprises alkylated triphenylthiophosphate, dialkyl dithiophosphate derivatives, a mixture of phosphate ammonium salt and nonylamine phosphate salt, or any combination thereof.

[0008] Preferably, the rust inhibitor comprises neutral calcium alkylnaphthalene sulfonate, amino acid derivatives, or alkenyl succinic acid half ester, or any combination thereof.

[0009] Preferably, the metal deactivator can be selected from benzotriazole derivatives or thiadiazole derivatives. These metal deactivator molecules have good oil solubility, can prevent organic acids from corroding the metal surface, and can react with metal ions to form complexes into inert substances, causing them to lose their catalytic oxidation effect.

[0010] Preferably, the demulsifier can be selected from nonionic surfactants or polyoxypropylene derivatives. These demulsifiers have excellent anti-emulsification properties and anti-foaming properties.

[0011] Preferably, the defoaming agent is a non-silicon acrylate copolymer.

[0012] The invention also includes a method for preparing a biodegradable stern oil composition, the specific steps of which are:

[0013] Take 15 kg of base oil and add it into the blending kettle, heat it to 60°C, then add 7.5 g of alkenyl succinic acid half ester, 7.5 g of neutral alkyl naphthalene sulfonate calcium, 15 g of nonylated diphenylamine, 15 g of high molecular weight phenol-type antioxidant, 30 g of dialkyl dithiophosphate derivative, 45 g of alkylated triphenylthiophosphate, 1.5 g of block copolymer, 3 g of methylbenzotriazole derivative, and 30 g of acrylate copolymer into the kettle in sequence, stir at a constant temperature of 60°C for 2 hours to obtain a biodegradable stern oil mixture.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] A biodegradable stern oil composition, compared with existing mineral oils, has excellent rapid biodegradability, reducing the impact on the environment; low toxicity, greatly reducing the harm to marine life; non-biological accumulation, minimizing the accumulation of marine life; and excellent load-bearing capacity and anti-wear performance. Under conditions of ship rotation or impact load, the load-bearing capacity under high oil film pressure conditions is improved, wear is minimized, and smooth operation of equipment is ensured.
