Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lubricating oil, and relates to a composite lubricating oil and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nanometer aluminum oxide and nanometer silicon dioxide are commonly used nanometer functional additives in lubricating oil. Nanometer aluminum oxide has the characteristics of high hardness, high temperature resistance, and good heat conduction, and mainly plays the roles of "anti-wear strengthening", "high temperature stability", and rapid heat conduction in lubricating oil. Nanometer silicon dioxide can fill the micro-pits on the friction surface, reduce the surface roughness, and assist in reducing friction and wear. However, the unmodified nanometer aluminum oxide and nanometer silicon dioxide have poor compatibility with the base oil of lubricating oil, are prone to agglomeration and failure, and even cause more adverse consequences, such as aggravating wear. Therefore, the surface treatment of nanometer aluminum oxide and nanometer silicon dioxide is very important in lubricating oil, which not only needs to have good compatibility with the base oil, but also needs to have good high temperature resistance, good oxidation stability, good hydrolysis resistance, and good load resistance, so as to adapt to the working environment of lubricating oil. The prior art generally uses silane coupling agent or titanate coupling agent as a surface treatment agent to treat the surface of nanometer aluminum oxide and / or nanometer silicon dioxide, so as to improve the compatibility of nanometer aluminum oxide and / or nanometer silicon dioxide with the base oil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained and described below through specific embodiments.
[0035] On the one hand, the present invention proposes a composite lubricating oil, wherein the raw material components, by weight, include: 90-95% base oil, 0.5-1.5% nano alumina, 0.2-1% nano silica and 2-10% organic functional additives;
[0036] Nano-alumina and nano-silica are individually surface-treated using polyether silane coupling agents;
[0037] The structural formula of the above-mentioned polyether silane coupling agent is shown in formula (1) below.
[0038] R 1 -Z-(CH2)3R 2 x Si(OR 3 ) 3-x (1)
[0039] Among them, R 1 Selected from C1-C12 alkyl groups, R 2 and R 3 The individual components are selected from C1-C4 alkyl groups, Z represents the polyether segment, and x = 0-1.
[0040] This invention utilizes a polyether silane coupling agent to chemically bond the organic structure -(CH2)3-ZR onto the surfaces of nano-alumina and nano-silica. 1 This improved the compatibility of nano-alumina and nano-silica with base oils, and achieved good dispersibility of nano-alumina and nano-silica in base oils.
[0041] For the above-mentioned polyether silane coupling agent, it can be made from alkenyl polyether CH2=CHCH2-ZR 1 With hydrogen-containing silanes HR 2 x Si(OR 3 ) 3-x It is obtained by hydrosilylation reaction. Specifically, one preparation method is as follows: an alkenyl polyether and a hydrosilane are added to a reaction vessel in a molar ratio of 1:1-1.2, the temperature is raised to 80°C, a hydrosilylation catalyst (such as Karstedt catalyst, the amount is 10-50 ppm based on Pt) is added, and the reaction is kept at 130-140°C until the terminal alkenyl group disappears (which can be detected by FT-IR), and unreacted hydrosilane (if present) is removed to obtain the polyether silane coupling agent.
[0042] There are no particular limitations on the surface treatment process of nano-alumina and nano-silica using polyether silane coupling agents; existing technologies can be referenced. Taking the surface treatment of nano-alumina as an example, one method is as follows: Disperse 1-10 parts by weight of nano-alumina into 100 parts by weight of a mixed solvent composed of anhydrous ethanol and water in a volume ratio of 7:3-9:1, adjust the pH to 3-5, add a polyether silane coupling agent (the weight of the polyether silane coupling agent can be 5%-20% of the weight of the nano-alumina), stir at room temperature for 1-2 hours, heat to micro-reflux, continue the reaction for 2-5 hours, cool down, collect the solid particles, wash 2-3 times with anhydrous ethanol, and dry at 50-70℃ to obtain polyether-treated nano-alumina.
[0043] In some embodiments, the polyether segment is composed of at least one of the following: polyethylene glycol segment EO (-CH2CH2O-), polypropylene glycol segment PO (-CH2CH3CHO-), and polytetrahydrofuran ether glycol segment TO (-CH2CH2CH2CH2O-).
[0044] The molar content of polyethylene glycol (EO) segments in the polyether segments does not exceed 20%.
[0045] The water content of lubricating oil gradually increases during operation. Among EO, PO, and TO, the polarity decreases in that order. EO has higher polarity, better hydrophilicity, but slightly lower heat resistance. The molar content of EO in the polyether segment should not exceed 20%, which can improve the heat resistance, stability, and water incompatibility of the polyether segment. For example, the molar content of EO in the polyether segment can be any value from 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 0, etc., or any value in between, without particular restrictions.
[0046] In some embodiments, the molar content of the polytetrahydrofuran ether diol (TO) segment in the polyether segment is not less than 50%. TO has good heat resistance, stability, and hydrophobicity. Further, the molar content of TO in the polyether segment does not exceed 80%, for example, it can be any value or any value between 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, etc., without particular limitation. Further, the polyether segment is composed of two or three of EO, PO, and TO, which can constitute a polyether segment with a certain degree of amphiphilicity, suitable for base oils of different polarities. Therefore, in this invention, there are no particular limitations on the base oil; it can be a synthetic base oil (such as polyalphaolefin oil, ester oil) and / or a mineral base oil.
[0047] In some embodiments, the number average molecular weight of the polyether segments is 100-1000. For example, the number average molecular weight can be any value or any value between 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, etc., without any particular limitation.
[0048] In some embodiments, the average particle size of nano-alumina is set as a, and the average particle size of nano-silica is set as b, then:
[0049] a = 10-100nm, b = 10-50nm, b = (0.15-0.5)a. For example, b = 0.15a, or b = 0.2a, or b = 0.25a, or b = 0.3a, or b = 0.35a, or b = 0.4a, or b = 0.45a, or b = 0.5a, etc. For example, if a is 60nm, b can be 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 30nm, etc.
[0050] The "harder" nano-alumina provides anti-wear, anti-pressure, and high-temperature resistance, while the "softer" nano-silica provides lubrication. By setting the particle size of the two nanomaterials within the aforementioned range, the "softer" nano-silica can also buffer the "harder" nano-alumina, working synergistically to further enhance the performance of the composite lubricant.
[0051] Furthermore, the values of a and b satisfy: b = (0.25 - 0.5)a.
[0052] The "harder" nano-alumina provides anti-wear, anti-pressure, and high-temperature resistance, while the "softer" nano-silica provides lubrication. By setting the particle size of the two nanomaterials within the aforementioned range, the "softer" nano-silica can also buffer the "harder" nano-alumina, working synergistically to further improve the performance of the composite lubricant, especially its anti-wear properties.
[0053] In some embodiments, the organic functional additive is selected from one or a combination of two or more of antioxidants, extreme pressure anti-wear agents, dispersants, rust inhibitors, defoamers, and pour point depressants.
[0054] Furthermore, the antioxidant accounts for 0.5-1% of the weight of the raw material components; for example, the antioxidant can be zinc thiophosphoric acid alkylphenol salt, zinc primary and secondary thiophosphoric acid alkyl salt, zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate, 2,6-di-tert-butyl mixed phenol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, zinc sulfide carbamate, etc., and the weight percentage can be 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, etc.
[0055] The extreme pressure anti-wear agent accounts for 1.5-3% of the raw material composition by weight; for example, the extreme pressure anti-wear agent can be zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate, triglyceride sulfide, phosphate ester, etc., and the weight percentage can be 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, etc.
[0056] The dispersant accounts for 0.5-2% of the raw material components by weight; for example, the dispersant can be a succinimide dispersant, such as polyisobutylene succinimide, polyisobutylene bis(succinimide) and boronized polyisobutylene succinimide, etc., and the weight percentage can be 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, etc.
[0057] The rust inhibitor accounts for 0.1-0.5% of the raw material components by weight; for example, the rust inhibitor can be barium sulfonate, potassium sulfonate, sodium sulfonate, zinc epoxy, potassium ricinoleate, dodecenyl succinic acid, etc., and the weight percentage can be 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, etc.
[0058] The defoamer accounts for 0.001-0.01% of the raw material components by weight; for example, the defoamer can be dimethyl silicone oil, and the weight percentage can be 0.001%, 0.002%, 0.003%, 0.004%, 0.005%, 0.006%, 0.007%, 0.008%, 0.009%, 0.01%, etc.
[0059] The pour point depressant accounts for 0.5-1.5% of the raw material composition by weight. For example, the pour point depressant can be alkyl naphthalene, polymethyl methacrylate, polyalphaolefin, etc., and the weight percentage can be 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, etc.
[0060] Furthermore, the dispersant is selected from polyether fatty acid esters;
[0061] The structural formula of the above polyether fatty acid ester is shown in formula (2) below.
[0062] R 4 -COO(CH2CH2O) y (CH2CH3CHO) z R 5 (2)
[0063] Among them, R 4 It is a C6-C24 alkyl group, R 5 Selected from H or methyl, y≥0, z≥0, 3≤y+z≤12.
[0064] Antioxidants, extreme pressure anti-wear agents, and rust inhibitors are all polar compounds, or even highly polar compounds or organic salts. They have poor compatibility with low-polarity base oils (such as mineral oils), or may have density differences, leading to incompatibility or separation. Polyether fatty acid esters have good amphiphilicity and can effectively disperse the polar raw material components in composite lubricating oils, improving the uniformity and stability of the mixed raw material components.
[0065] Furthermore, in the polyether fatty acid ester shown in formula (2) above, R 4 It is a C8-C18 alkyl group, y = 0. That is, the polyether fatty acid ester shown in the above formula (2) does not contain EO, which can improve the heat resistance, hydrolysis resistance and other properties.
[0066] On the other hand, the present invention also proposes a method for preparing the composite lubricating oil described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the base oil is heated to 80-120°C, nano-alumina and nano-silica are added, ultrasonically dispersed evenly, organic functional additives are added, stirred and dispersed evenly, and the temperature is lowered to no more than 40°C to obtain the composite lubricating oil.
[0067] Base oils generally have a high viscosity. Heating them to 80-120℃ during lubricant preparation can reduce their viscosity, which is beneficial for rapid and uniform blending of the base oil with other raw material components.
[0068] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to various embodiments and comparative examples. Unless otherwise specified, the parts mentioned in the following embodiments and comparative examples are parts by weight.
