摘要:
A process for the production of synthetic lubricants having high viscosity index by oligomerizing a mixture of alpha-olefins produced from the thermal cracking of slack wax or recycled slack wax. The oligomerization is carried out with a reduced metal oxide catalyst, preferably a carbon monoxide reduced chromium oxide on a silica support. The olefin product from the thermal cracking step is purified, preferably by hydrotreating prior to the oligomerization step.

A novel composition is disclosed that is particularly useful as a lubricant viscosity index improver. The composition comprises branched C.sub.30 -C.sub.10000 hydrocarbons that have a branch ratio of less than 0.19 and viscosity at 100.degree. C. between 725 cS and 15,000 cS. The novel compositions comprise the product of the oligomerization of C.sub.6 to C.sub.20 alpha-olefin feedstock, or mixtures thereof, under oligomerization conditions at a temperature between -20.degree. C. and +90.degree. C. in contact with a reduced valence state Group VIB metal catalyst on porous support. The compositions have viscosities at 100.degree. C. between 725 cS and 15,000 cS. Using the foregoing compositions in admixture with mineral oil and synthetic lubricants provides novel lubricant blends that show an elevated viscosity index. The mixtures also show an increased stability to shear stress at high temperature with all blends notable by exhibiting Newtonian flow.

Synthetic lubricant blends exhibiting superior lubricant properties such as high viscosity index, including mixtures of oligomeric products of shape selective catalysis with other lubricants, such as high viscosity index poly-alpha-(.alpha.-)olefins lubricant basestock, conventional poly(.alpha.-olefin) and/or other liquid lubricant basestock material.Preferred lubricant mixtures comprise hydrogenated components:a) a low viscosity C.sub.20 -C.sub.60 lubricant range liquid comprising substantially linear hydrocarbon moietoes prepared by shape selective catalysis of lower olefin with medium pore acid zeolite catalyst to provide substantially linear liquid olefinic intermediates or C.sub.20.sup.+ lubricants, said lubricant range liquid having a kinematic viscosity of about 2-10 cS at 100.degree. C.; andb) at least one poly(.alpha.-olefin) having viscosity greater than 20 cS and viscosity index improvement properties.
摘要:
A non-friable support, e.g., sand, coated with a polymer is prepared by contacting the support containing a polymerization catalyst with a monomer which is at least one multi-functional olefin, e.g., a diene, under monomer polymerization conditions. The product of the polymerization process is a highly cross-linked coating which engulfs the support, thereby rendering it hydrolytically and thermally stable. The support can be used as a sand pack in enhanced oil recovery operations, wherein it is resistant to deterioration due to high temperature, pressure and alkaline conditions existing in the subterranean formations.
摘要:
Novel lubricant mixtures are disclosed having unexpectedly high viscosity indices. The mixtures are blends of high viscosity index polyalphaolefins prepared with activated chromium on silica catalyst and polyalphaolefins prepared with BF3, aluminum chloride, or Ziegler-type catayst. Superior blends are also prepared from HVIXPAO with mineral oil and/or other synthetic liquid lubricants.
摘要:
A catalyst composition for polymerizing alpha-olefins is prepared by treating a carrier containing OH groups with a liquid solution containing an excess of an organomagnesium composition with respect to the OH groups and contacting the thus-formed magnesium-containing carrier with a hydrocarbyl alcohol and at least one transition metal compound. Prior to contacting the magnesium-containing carrier with the alcohol, most of the liquid must be removed therefrom, so that it comprises not more than about 6% of the liquid. The amount of the transition metal compound is such that the molar ratio thereof to magnesium in the reaction mixture is about 0.3 to about 0.9. Also disclosed is a process for polymerizing alpha-olefins in the presence of the catalyst of the invention.

摘要:
A process for converting methanol and/or methyl ether to light olefins over a zeolite catalyst comprising at least some crystalline aluminosilicate zeolitic material having pore windows formed by 8-membered rings of oxygen atoms, e.g., Zeolon 500 or ZSM-34, in the presence of hydrogen, or mixtures of hydrogen and carbon monoxide as a gaseous diluent, at elevated temperature and pressure. By using such zeolite catalysts, hydrogen-containing diluents and reaction conditions, methanol and/or methyl ether can be converted to an olefin-containing hydrocarbon product enriched in ethylene and propylene with enhanced catalyst lifetime.
摘要:
This invention is directed to a poly alpha olefin (PAO) composition formed in a first oligomerization, wherein at least portions of the PAO have properties that make them highly desirable for a subsequent oligomerization. A preferred process for producing this PAO uses a single site catalyst at high temperatures without adding hydrogen to produce a low viscosity PAO with excellent Noack volatility at high conversion rates. This PAO comprises a dimer product with at least 25 wt % tri-substituted vinylene olefins wherein said dimer product is highly desirable as a feedstock for a subsequent oligomerization. This PAO also comprises trimer and optionally higher oligomer products with outstanding properties that make these products useful as lubricant basestocks following hydrogenation.
