Multifunctional biodegradable lube oil additives: Synthesis,characterization, and performance evaluation

Copolymers of different concentration of decyl acrylate and 1-decene with rice bran oil were prepared and their characterization was carried out by spectral (NMR, IR), thermogravimetric, and gel permeation chromatography analysis. Performance evaluation of them in lube oil indicates that the polymers effectively act as pour point depressant and viscosity modifier. The viscosity index and pour point values depend on the nature of mineral base oils, polymer type, and also on the concentration of the additives in solution. Biodegradability test was also carried out and as anticipated, the rice bran oil–copolymers showed excellent biodegradable nature among the additives.     

Biodegradable multifunctional additives for lube oil: Synthesis and characterization

Homopolymers of isodecyl acrylate and isooctyl acrylate and copolymers of each of them with β-pinene (BP) were synthesized and characterized by spectral, thermogravimetric, and gel permeation chromatographic analysis. Pour point depressant (PPD) and viscosity index improver (VII) properties were tested with additive-doped base oil in terms of pour point (PP) and viscosity index (VI), respectively. Although the isodecyl acrylate polymers were thermally more stable than the isooctyl acrylate polymers, the latter showed higher VI and PPD efficiency. VI and PP values of the additive-doped base oils depend on the nature of mineral base oils as well as on the type and concentration of VII. In addition, introduction of BP moiety in the acrylate backbone has induces excellent biodegradability in the above polymers.     

The effect of cationic surfactant additives on flow properties of crude oil

Pretreatment of the crude oil with flow improver or pour point depressants has received the greatest acceptance due to its simplicity and economy. Three cationic surfactants Bola form based on urea were prepared by quaternization reaction with alkyl dihalides of different chain length (hexayl, decyl-, and dodecyl-dibromide). The prepared compounds (U6, U10, and U12) were evaluated as surface active agents as well as pour point depressant for crude oil compared to monosurfactant (U12a) corresponding to (U12). The surface parameters of each synthesized surfactant were calculated from their surface tension profile including the critical micelle concentration, maximum surface excess (Γ_max), and the minimum surface area (A_min). The free energies of micellization (ΔG°_mic) and adsorption (ΔG°_ads) were also calculated. Its pour point and viscosity decreased significantly after adding surfactants. FTIR studies of crude-surfactant mixture showed remarkable decrease in concentration of viscosity enhancing groups such as alkanes, alcoholic, and acidic groups, indicating the effectiveness of both the surfactants.

一种新型原油降凝剂的研究

由乙烯、醋酸乙烯酯和乙烯醇聚醚组成的三元共聚物(WHP)是一种新型高分子表面活性剂型原油降凝剂.这种原油降凝剂既具有聚合物的特点,又有一定的表面活性,与某些常用的降凝剂,如EVA、聚丙烯酸高碳醇酯等相比,这种降凝剂无论对含高碳蜡(C₃₇-C₆₃)的吐哈原油和新疆混合原油,还是含一般蜡的江汉原油、鲁宁线原油和中洛线原油均表现出良好的降凝效果.例如,对吐哈原油在加药量为50mg/l时,一般原油降凝剂没有降凝效果,而WHP可以将原油凝固点从17℃降至10℃;而对新疆混合原油,当加药量为20mg/l时,WHP可以将原油凝固点从11℃降至-15℃而一般最好的降凝剂只能降至-8℃,即使对凝固点比较高的江汉原油,当加药量为100mg/l时,一般降凝剂只能将原油凝固点从34℃降至22℃,而WHP则可降至14℃.此外,WHP对鲁宁线原油还有一定的降粘效果,在加药量为40mg/l时,在30℃测定的降粘幅度为25.2%,而一般降凝剂最大的降粘幅度为14%.在室内模拟鲁宁线原油流动的情况下,原油加入WHP后依次经过多次慢速(80r/min)和快速(1500r/min)搅拌剪切后,原油凝固点回升幅度有较大的降低,且粘度的回升幅度也有所改善.     

Multifunctional Additive Performance of Liquid Crystal Blended Polydecylacrylate in Lubricating Oil

A comparative study of additive performance (viscosity modifier [VM], pour point depressant [PPD], and anti wear [AW]) of homo polydecylacrylate (D) and its blend with three different types of liquid crystals (each containing three samples) has been performed. Very low concentrations (100 ppm) of liquid crystals are used in this study and processes include synthesis of D, characterization (FT-IR, NMR) and evaluation. A comparison based on performances has been made among the three different series of liquid crystals (LC) blended homo polydecylacrylate (D). The study indicates the LC blended additives are far better in AW performance compare to only D and their VM and PPD properties are comparable with D and amongst all the three series of liquid crystals, AW performance is better for long alkyl chain length sample. Multifunctional additive performance of this kind of LC blended polyacrylate is reporting for the first time.     

潍北高凝点原油降凝降黏剂的研制

实验室自制的三元共聚物AMV-22与EVA复配,添加SLA-107作助剂,制备适用于胜利油田潍北区块高凝点原油的降凝剂AMVES。实验考察了该降凝剂对原油的降凝降黏效果。DSC热分析结果表明,AMVES加量为1000 mg/L时,可使原油凝点从48℃降低到37℃,析蜡点降低2℃。流变性曲线表明原油的剪切稀释作用随温度升高显著增强,当剪切速率大于100 s^-1后黏度基本不变,降凝剂可以大幅降低启动原油的屈服应力。偏光显微镜图显示原油温度越低,蜡晶网状结构越致密,交联度强,黏度大,流动性差;加AMVES之后原油中蜡晶变为团簇状颗粒,原油的流动性增强。由此可见降凝剂AMVES作用于蜡晶使其三维网状结构破坏,从而有效降低原油凝点和黏度。

Multifunctional Additives Viscosity Index Improvers,Pour Point Depressants and Dispersants for Lube Oil

Abstract

In the present work, some polymeric additives based on styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer were prepared and evaluated as multifunction lube oil additives (viscosity index improvers, pour point depressants, and detergent-dispersant additives). The styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer reacted with different alcohols (dodecyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, octadecyl alcohol, and docosanol) to prepare four different types of esters and aminated with different types of amines (dodecyl amine, hexadecyl amine, and octadecyl amine) to prepare another three co-polymeric additives. Structure of the prepared compounds was confirmed by I.R. spectroscopy. The molecular weights of the prepared copolymers were determined by using gel permeation chromatograph and the percentage of esterification and amination were determined by ¹HNMR. The efficiencies of the prepared compounds as viscosity index improvers, pour point depressants, and detergents-dispersants were investigated. It was found that the efficiency of the prepared compound as viscosity index improvers increases with increasing the concentration of additives in the solution and with increasing the molecular weight of prepared compounds, while the efficiency of the prepared compounds as pour point depressants increases with decreasing the concentration of the prepared polymers. On the other hand, the prepared compounds showed excellent dispersion power.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Viscosity Index Improvers and Pour Point Depressant for Lube Oil

Abstract

In the present work, four compounds were prepared by copolymerization of maleic anhydride with tetradecene to give (A), and then the copolymer (A) was esterified by a series of n-alkanol having different alkyl chain length. The compositions of prepared compounds were determined by molecular weight and by IR spectroscopy. The efficiency of the prepared compounds as viscosity index improvers for lube oil was studied. From the data, it was found that the efficiency as viscosity index improvers increases by increasing the concentration of these additives and by increasing the alkyl chain length of the alcohol used. The efficiency of the prepared compounds as pour point depressants for lube oil was studied also and shows that the prepared compounds depress the pour point of the lube oil successfully.

Two bacteria (B1 and B2) were isolated from soil-contaminated sites. The surface properties of biosurfactants produced by these bacteria were determined. These bacteria were given a good resistance to NaCl concentration up to 20%. The surface activity was detected with maximum value at pH7 with B1, whereas B2 was not affected by the change pH (3–12). The biosurfactants of these bacteria were added as a mixture or individual to crude oil given the good result in reducing the pour point. The infrared spectrum of wax or asphaltene fractions of Egyptian crude oil untreated and treated with biosurfactants was detected.

环烷基基础油和石蜡基基础油混合中的自降凝现象研究

针对润滑油基础油混合中出现的自降凝现象,即混合油品倾点低于两种组分油品各自倾点的现象,将不同环烷基基础油和石蜡基基础油调合,测定其低温性能,并结合油品理化性质进行分析,提出自降凝现象的作用机理。结果表明：自降凝现象在环烷基原油精制油品与石蜡基原油精制油品间混兑时比较明显;两种油品混合时,自降凝现象的明显程度取决于基础油类型、两种油品间的倾点差距及运动黏度（100 ℃）差距,3种因素对自降凝的影响依次减弱。两种油品的凝固方式差别越大、倾点越接近、运动黏度（100 ℃）越接近,则自降凝现象越明显。KN4010为环烷基基础油,HVIP8为石蜡基基础油,两者倾点都是-24 ℃,运动黏度（100 ℃）接近,其混合油品的倾点可以降低到-42 ℃。
