摘要:
Lubricants of improved characteristics are produced by carrying out a solvent extraction to remove aromatic components after solvent or catalytic dewaxing. Aromatic extraction solvents such as phenol, furfural or N-methyl pyrrolidone may be used. The process is particularly useful with wax-derived lubricants produced by the hydroisomerization of a petroleum wax which has then been dewaxed.
摘要:
There is provided a method for reducing the pour point of an alkyl aromatic lube base stock by hydroisomerizing alkyl side groups on alkyl aromatic compounds. The alkyl aromatic, compounds may be alkylated naphthalenes. The hydroisomerization reaction may take place over a catalyst comprising zeolite beta and platinum.
摘要:
There is provided a sulfated layered titanium oxide catalyst. Relatively long chain alkyl aromatic compounds are prepared by alkylating an alkylatable aromatic compound with a relatively long chain alkylating agent under alkylation reaction conditions in the presence of this sulfated layered material as alkylation catalyst. The layered material contains titanium oxide in the layers and oxide pillars separating the layers. The alkylation activity of the catalyst is increased by including sulfate ions in the layered material. This increased alkylation activity may be obtained by contacting the layered material with an aqueous solution of a sulfate compound such as sulfuric acid.
摘要:
Synthetic lubricating oils having a predetermined alkylaromatic structure are prepared from a mixture of mono- or dialkenyl benzene with an aliphatic olefin by free-radical reaction in the presence of ditertiary-butyl peroxide, for example. Equivalent napthalene derivatives may be substituted for the dialkenyl benzene. The oils that are formed exhibit a high Viscosity Index, and a low pour point. The viscosity of the synthetic lube stock produced may be controlled by changing the amount of peroxide used.
摘要:
Aromatic hydrocarbons are alkylated with relatively long chain alkylating agents, e.g., C.sub.8 + olefins, at mole ratio of aromatic to alkylating agent of not greater than about 5 in the presence of, as catalyst, a Lewis acid-promoted amorphous, porous inorganic oxide such as silica to provide long chain alkyl aromatic products which are useful, inter alia, as lubricating oil stocks.
摘要:
Lubricant basestocks of high viscosity index, typically with V.I. of at least 130 or higher, and low pour point, typically below 5.degree. F., are produced by hydroisomerizing petroleum waxes such as slack wax or de-oiled wax, over zeolite beta and then dewaxing to target pour point. A preferred process employs a solvent dewaxing after the hydroisomerization step to effect a partial dewaxing with the separated waxes being recycled to the hydroisomerization step; dewaxing is then completed catalytically, typically over ZSM-5 or ZSM-23.
摘要:
A process for producing lubricant oils of low pour point and high viscosity index by first carrying out a partial dewaxing of a lubricant base stock in an initial catalytic dewaxing operation, followed by a selective dewaxing step. The initial catalytic dewaxing step is carried out using a large pore, high silica zeolite dewaxing catalyst such as high silica Y or zeolite beta which dewaxes by isomerizing the waxy components of the base stock to less waxy brance chain isoparaffins but the severity of the operation is controlled so as to effect only a partial removal of the waxy components. Further removal of the waxy components is effected during the subsequent dewaxing step which is selective for the removal of the more waxy n-paraffin components, leaving the branched chain isoparaffins which contribute to a high VI in the product. The selective dewaxing step may be either a solvent, e.g. MEK dewaxing operation or a catalytic dewaxing using a highly shape selective zeolite such as ZSM-22 or ZSM-23. The severity of the initial catalytic dewaxing operation may be controlled so as to effect a net increase in the content of isoparaffins and because of the selective nature of the solvent dewaxing step, this increased isoparaffins concentration may be retained, producing a product of high VI. The pour point of the feedstock is preferably reduced during the initial catalytic dewaxing step to a value which is no lower than 10.degree. F. and preferably no lower than 20.degree. F., above the target pour point for the products. Generally, this will entail a reduction of at least 10.degree. F. and preferably at least 20.degree. F. in the pour point of the feed.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for improving the Viscosity Index of a hydrocarbon lubricating oil comprising the steps of providing a flow reactor having separate first and second inlet ports for the separate co-injection of lubricating oil and an organic peroxide, charging said lubricating oil and said organic peroxide of said flow reactor through said first and second inlet ports respectively, controlling the relative flowrates of said lubricating oil and organic peroxide reactants together with the total volumetric flowrate through said flow reactor to maintain a flow regime which favors diffusional mixing between said organic peroxide and said lubricating oil, and maintaining said organic peroxide and said lubricating oil under conversion conditions including temperatures of between about 50.degree. and 300.degree. C. and pressure sufficient to maintain said lubricating oil and said organic peroxide substantially in the liquid phase. Controlling the flow regime to favor diffusional rather than convective mixing between the lubricating oil and the organic peroxide has surprisingly been found to markedly enhance Viscosity Index improvement.
