Abstract:
A synergistic mixture comprising from 1 to 99.9% by weight of compounds having structural elements (I) in which the free valencies on the oxygen atom and on the nitrogen atom may be combined to form a five-, six- or seven-membered ring and the benzene ring may also bear substituents at one or more of the free positions, and from 0.1 to 99% by weight of sulfur-containing organic compounds with antioxidant action. This synergistic mixture is suitable as a stabilizer for stabilizing inanimate organic material, especially mineral oil products and fuels, against the action of light, oxygen and heat.

Homo- or co-polymers derived from one or more alpha-olefins having a number average molecular weight of up to 15,000 and an isotacticity of 75% or greater, and their use as Cold Flow Improvers in crude, fuel or lubricating oil.
Abstract:
Compounds of the formula I below are useful as additives in oleaginous compositions: ##STR1## wherein B represents an aromatic system, A represents a hydrocarbyl group, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or are different and each independently is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl group containing 10-40 carbon atoms, provided that one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may represent hydrogen; z is at least 1 and wherein the aromatic system carries at least one substituent group which is an activating group for the ring system or a derivative of an activating group.
Abstract:
A distillate fuel composition for reducing silver corrosion in two-cycle internal combustion engines which comprises motor gasoline, a lubricating oil basestock and a combination of a 2,5-dihydrocarbyldithio-1,3,4-thiadiazole of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently R.sup.3 S or H where R.sup.3 is a hydrocarbyl group containing from 1 to 16 carbon atoms with the proviso that at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is not hydrogen, and an adduct of benzotriazole or tolyltriazole and an alkoxyamine.
Abstract:
Novel dihydrobenzothiophenes prepared via condensation of arylthiols and carbonyl or epoxide containing reagents have been found to be effective antioxidant and antiwear additives in lubricant applications. These additives are made from relatively low cost mercaptans and carbonyl compounds in a one-step high yield reaction.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for the pretreatment of olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock to remove conjugated dienes and/or basic nitrogen compounds that deactivate acidic catalyst particles used in olefin conversion processes by reacting the dienes with one or more dienophiles to form the corresponding Diels-Alder adduct, followed by catalytic conversion of the olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock containing the adduct. The formation of the Diels-Alder adduct essentially eliminates the role of dienes in the feedstock as catalyst deactivating agents. When maleic anhydride (MA) is employed as the dienophile, basic nitrogen reacts with maleic anhydride, or with the tetrahydrophthalic anhydride adduct, to lower the amount of catalyst deactivating basic nitrogen compounds in the feedstock. Where the olefin conversion process comprises etherification of isoolefins with alkanol in a C.sub.4 + or C.sub.5 + olefinic hydrocarbon feedstream to produce a gasoline boiling range product enriched in oxygen and rich in high octane value alkyl tertiary alkyl ethers, it has been discovered that the adduct, particularly those adducts formed with MA, is in the gasoline boiling range and contributes usefully to the oxygen enrichment of the gasoline and to octane value.
