Process of preparing metallic detergent-dispersant additives of high alkalinity in particular for lubricating oils, and product obtained thereby

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5917152
A process of preparing metallic detergent-dispersant compositions is provided by: reacting sulfur with an alkylphenol, bearing one or mor c6-c60 alkyl substituents, in the presence of a dilution oil, an alkaline-earth metal alkylbenzene sulfonate of a molecular weight of more than about 300 and a tbn of less than or equal to about 150, an alkaline-earth metal compound, optionally an alkalmetal hydroxide, a base component of metallic detergentdispersant of a tbn greater than or equal to 200 selected from among superalkalinized sulfurized alkaline-earth metal alkylphenates, alkaline-earth metal alkylbenzene sulfonates, and mixtures of superalkalinized sulfurized alkaline earth metal alkylphenates and alkaline-earth metal alkylbenzene sulfonates, and an alkylene glycol, at a temperature of between 100 and 190/sup 0/ carbonating the resultant mixture with carbon dioxide at temperature of between 100 and 200/sup 0/ C, the amount of co2 being between that which can be completely absorbed and an excess of 30 percent of said amount; removing the alkylene glycol; an separating the metallic detergent-dispersant of hig alkalinity thus obtained. The detergent-dispersants thus obtained are useful in improving the detergent-dispersant power of lubricating oils.
