Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a novel lubricating oil detergent, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of detergent technology. Background Technology

[0002] Lubricating oil detergents mainly include three categories: salicylates, sulfonates, and sulfidated alkylphenol salts. Among them, salicylates have strong neutralizing ability and good detergency, and are often used in gasoline engine oils, diesel engine oils, and marine oils. Sulfonates have good detergency, dispersibility, and rust prevention properties, and are often used to formulate various internal combustion engine oils or marine cylinder oils and engine oils. Alkylphenol salts have excellent high-temperature detergent properties, water separation properties, and antioxidant properties, and are one of the main additives in mid-to-high-end internal combustion engine oils, marine oils, and other oil products.

[0003] Alkylphenol salts are produced by neutralizing, sulfiding, carbonating, and refining alkylphenols with raw materials such as sulfur and calcium oxide. Due to their unique performance advantages, they are often used in combination with sulfonates or salicylates to complement their disadvantages. Currently, commercially available alkylphenol salt products generally contain a certain amount of residual alkylphenol (3%~10%), which can cause endocrine toxicity, reproductive toxicity, and immunotoxicity, thus limiting the application range of sulfide alkylphenol calcium products.

[0004] To reduce the free phenol content, US8198225B2 describes a process involving the phenol-aldehyde condensation reaction of dodecylphenol followed by a sulfidation reaction to produce a calcium sulfide alkylphenol product with low free phenol content. Although this reduces the free phenol content from 6.5-8.1% to 1.7-4.4%, the process is cumbersome and the free phenol content remains relatively high. CN106147937A describes a process involving the reaction of sulfide alkylphenol salts with aldehydes and amines under alkaline conditions to produce a sulfide alkylphenol salt detergent with low alkylphenol content, which can reduce free phenol to 1.3%. However, this method is still complex and leaves some free phenol residue. CN105037226A describes a process involving the mixing of sulfide alkylphenol metal salts with intermediates (obtained by reacting acid anhydrides and / or carboxylic acids with amine compounds) followed by a condensation reaction with aldehydes to obtain a sulfide alkylphenol metal salt product with low free phenol content, which can reduce free phenol to 0.26%. However, this process is complex and leaves some free phenol residue. In response, energy saving, low emissions, and long service life have become the main directions for the development of lubricating oils.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a novel lubricating oil detergent that is low in sulfur, phosphorus, and ash, and free of free phenol residue, while also possessing excellent performance. Summary of the Invention

[0112] (6) Copper strip corrosion test: The test shall be conducted in accordance with the SH / T0232 standard;

[0113] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0115]

[0116] Note: Comparative sample 6 had a poor response and was not evaluated.

[0117] As can be seen from the data results of the embodiments in Table 1, the novel lubricating oil detergent prepared by the present invention did not contain any free phenols or sulfur, and compared with other detergents on the market, it has excellent antioxidant, detergency and corrosion resistance.

[0118] The amount of dodecene added in Comparative Example 4 was relatively small, resulting in a lower content of disubstituted dodecylphenol, with a free phenol content of 0.5%. Furthermore, its antioxidant properties, anti-corrosion properties, and detergency were worse than those in Example 1.

[0119] In Comparative Example 5, the alkylation time was shorter, the content of disubstituted alkylphenols was reduced, the free phenol content was detected to be 0.3%, and its antioxidant properties, corrosion resistance and detergency were worse than those of Example 1.

[0120] In Comparative Example 6, the alkylation temperature was lower, the content of disubstituted alkylphenols was lower, and no further synthesis was carried out.

[0121] Comparative Example 7 reduced the amount of formaldehyde added during the condensation process, resulting in an insufficient condensation and a free phenol content of 1.5%.
