Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of rust preventive, and particularly relates to a methanol fuel rust preventive composition. BACKGROUND

[0002] The alternative use of renewable and environmentally friendly fuels can reduce dependence on oil.

[0003] Among many liquid alternative fuels, methanol fuel is concerned and valued. The production of methanol from raw coal not only has low cost, but also does not cause serious harm to the environment.

[0004] However, methanol also has some disadvantages when used as an internal combustion engine fuel, and strong corrosion is one of the most important disadvantages. Methanol will have some acidic substances in the production process, and will absorb a small amount of moisture during storage, and will produce organic acids through air oxidation. Therefore, it has corrosion to some non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, etc.

[0005] In addition, methanol will produce incomplete combustion products formaldehyde and formic acid in the combustion process, which will corrode some parts in the engine fuel supply system and the intake system after mixing with water vapor in the air, causing nozzle blockage and affecting the normal work of the engine. Therefore, rust and corrosion inhibitors need to be added to methanol fuel to improve the performance of methanol. The commonly used rust and corrosion inhibitors for methanol fuel include benzotriazole, methyl benzotriazole, etc., but this type of rust and corrosion inhibitor is mainly aimed at the rust and corrosion prevention of copper and other non-ferrous metals, and has poor rust and corrosion prevention ability for ferrous metals. Oil-soluble additives such as sulfonates, organic carboxylic acids, and imidazoline derivatives for rust and corrosion prevention of ferrous metals cannot be dissolved in methanol, so that methanol fuel cannot simultaneously satisfy the rust and corrosion prevention of copper, steel, aluminum, zinc, tin and other metals.

[0006] Chinese patent application CN113430021A discloses a methanol fuel additive and a preparation method thereof. The components of the methanol fuel additive include rust and corrosion inhibitors, detergent dispersants, etc. The rust and corrosion inhibitors include benzotriazole, methyl benzotriazole and ammonium benzoate.

[0081] Comparative Example 1

[0082] Comparative Example 1 was compared with Example 3, without adding the rust inhibitor, as a blank group, to investigate the effect of adding the corrosion inhibitor on the rust and corrosion resistance of the methanol fuel.

[0083] Comparative Example 2

[0084] A benzotriazole commonly used in methanol fuel was used as the rust inhibitor, wherein the benzotriazole was 90%, and the remaining components were methanol.

[0085] Comparative Example 3

[0086] To compare the solubility of the rust inhibitor composition of the present application in methanol, a traditional oil-soluble imidazoline derivative and dinonyl naphthalene sulfonic acid derivative were used, i.e., a methanol fuel rust inhibitor composition was prepared with boric acid monoethanolamine ester, benzotriazole, heptadecenyl aminoethyl imidazoline, neutral dinonyl naphthalene sulfonic acid barium, and MVI150 base oil. The component content was 100% of the total weight, as shown in Table 4.

[0087] Table 4 Rust Inhibitor Composition Ingredient Table

[0088] composition content monoethanolamine borate 10% benzotriazole 40% heptadecenyl aminoethyl imidazoline 30% neutral barium dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate 10% mvi150 base oil 10%

[0089] Performance evaluation: the rust inhibitors prepared in Comparative Examples 2, 3 and Examples 1-3 were added to methanol at 0.3% (mass fraction), and first the solubility was observed, and then a variety of test pieces were subjected to rust test according to GB / T 34548-2017 "Automobile Methanol Gasoline Additives" Appendix A (Metal Corrosion Test Glassware Method), the smaller the change value of the test piece, the better the rust resistance.

[0090] Table 5 Solubility and Rust Resistance

[0091]

[0092] From table 5, it can be seen that when no rust and corrosion inhibitor is used in the comparative example 1, the test pieces of red copper, steel, zinc, tin and brass are severely rusted, and the change value of the test pieces is far beyond the index requirement of GB / T 34548-2017 “Automobile methanol gasoline additive”. After adding commonly used benzotriazole as a rust and corrosion inhibitor in the comparative example 2, the corrosion resistance of each type of test piece is improved to a certain extent, but the change value of the test pieces of steel, zinc and tin is still unqualified. In the comparative example 3, water-soluble rust inhibitor boric acid monoethanolamine ester, oil-soluble rust inhibitor heptadecenyl aminoethyl imidazoline and neutral barium dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate are added on the basis of the comparative example 2, and the change value of the test pieces of red copper, steel, zinc, tin and brass is unqualified, which indicates that the addition of oil-soluble rust inhibitor cannot enhance the rust and corrosion resistance of methanol fuel, but has certain negative influence. Compared with the above comparative examples, the addition of the rust inhibitor composition prepared in the examples 1-3 of the present application greatly improves the rust and corrosion resistance of methanol fuel, and the change value of the test pieces of red copper, steel, zinc, tin and brass meets the index requirement.
