Abstract:
Improved additives/dispersants for lubricant and fuel compositions are obtained by condensing a hydroxyalkyl or hydroxyaryl compound with an amine compound. The condensates according to the present invention are produced by the acid catalyzed condensation of the amine reactant with the hydroxy reactant.

A highly effective scavenging additive to a leaded automotive fuel which is substantially free of carcinogenic properties comprises tribromo methane or mixtures of tribromo methane and trichloro methane.
Abstract:
The octane requirement increase of a gasoline fired internal combustion engine is suppressed by the incorporation in the gasoline fed to the engine of a minor amount of cerium (III) or cerium (IV) 2-ethylhexanoate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a butterfly valve particularly adapted for service with high pressure and high temperature fluids, and fluids containing suspended solids such as slurries. A butterfly valve is provided with a metal seat ring having a curved metal lip that is adapted to contact the peripheral surface of the valve disc. The metal seat has a configuration that enables fluid pressure from one side of the valve to enhance the sealing effectiveness of the valve. The lip of the seat is positioned to provide an interference fit with the periphery of the disc when the valve is closed, so that the valve is capable of sealing fluid from either side of the disc over a portion of the pressure rating of the valve.

1,112,921. Tetrahydrocarbon leads. ETHYL CORPORATION. 11 May, 1965 [11 May, 1964 (2)], No. 19925/65. Heading C2J. [Also in Division C5] An anti-knock composition comprises a mixture of tetrahydrocarbon leads of the following formulµ: PbR 4 , PbR 3 R 1 , PbR 1 3 R 2 , PbRR 1 3 and PbR 1 4 wherein R is an alkyl group, preferably of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R 1 is an alkenyl group preferably of 2 to 10 carbon atoms. The relative amount of each compound in the mixture is according to a statistical distribution of the hydrocarbon groups among the tetrahydrocarbon leads or within 7% thereof. There are preferably two to four different groups R and R 1 . R 1 may constitute 25 to 75% of the groups R and R 1 . The composition may be prepared by contacting a compound of the formula PbR n R 1 (4-n) , n= 1, 2 or 3, or a mixture of at least two compounds of the formula PbR x R 1 (4-x) , x=0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 with a catalyst the compounds being such that both R and R 1 are in the mixture. The catalyst may be used in the amount 0À1 to 5% wt. of the total weight of reactants and may be an activated aluminosilicate, e.g. zeolite, or active Al 2 O 3 , AlCl 3 , (Et) 2 Zn, ZaF 2 , (Me) 2 AlCl, ZrCl 4 , PCl 3 , FeCl 3 or Me 3 Al 2 Cl 3 . The reaction may be carried out from below 0‹ C. up to the decomposition temperature of the tetrahydrocarbon lead, e.g. at 20‹ to 70‹ C. The composition may also be prepared by reacting a Pb salt, Pb oxide or sulphide under anhydrous conditions with a mixture of at least two Grignard reagents, the mixture containing both R and R 1 . This reaction temperature may be 20‹ to 120‹ C., the pressure may be 0À2 atm. to 2000 p.s.i. The composition is recovered by washing, filtering and distilling the filtrate. A desensitizing agent, e.g. toluene, naphthalene and alkylated phenols, may be added before recovery. The Grignard reagents may be methyl or ethyl magnesium chloride and vinyl magnesium chloride.
