HYDROFINISHING F PETROLEUM- BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention v This invention concerns the production of a lubricant which has superior oxidative stability.
2. Description of the Prior Art It is well-known that certain types of organic compounds are normally susceptible to deterioration by oxidation through coming into contact with various metal surfaces. For example, it is known that liquid hydrocarbons in the form of fuels or lubricating oils tend to accumulate considerable quantities of water when maintained for long periods of time in storage vessels; and when subsequently brought into contact with metal surfaces in their functional environments, deterioration as a result of oxidation, occurs. As a further example, in modern internal combustion engines and in turbojet engines, lubricants can be attacked by oxygen or air at high temperatures to form acids, heavy viscous sludges, varnish and resins which become deposited on the engine surfaces. As a result, the lubricant cannot perform its required task effectively, and the engine does not operate efficiently. Furthermore, the sludges produced by lubricant deterioration generated by insufficient oxidative stability tend to foul and plug low tolerance hydraulic system components and interconnecting piping and valves. In addition, where such lubricating oils or other oxidation prone materials are incorporated into solid lubricants as in the form of greases, similar results are encountered, thus clearly indicating the necessity for improved methods of treatment which increase the oxidative stability of lubricating oils.
Accompanying the deterioration of lubricants by oxidation is the resultant corrosion of the metal surfaces for which such lubricants are designed and supplied. In the oxidation of a lubricant, acids developwhich are corrosive enough to destroy most metals. Moreover, the friction between metal parts increases following lubricant breakdown due to oxidation and leads to excessive metal wear. Increasing demands .on. lubricants, brought about by larger engines operatingvat steadily increasing temperatures and pressures, and often at higher speeds, necessitate a constant search for new methods of hydrocarbon treatment which can provide lubricants with increased oxidation resistance.
Due to the lubricant oxidative stability requirements for such newer and larger engines and other rotating or moving equipment lubrication, feedstocks which were previously suitable for lubricant production are presently unsuitable or at best marginal for such uses. Thus at a time when overall lubricant demands are increasing, the amount of suitable lubricant feedstock material is being diminished due to the oxidative stability requirements of newer and larger machinery.
Various antioxidant additives have been developed to help improve lubricant oxidative stability, see forexample US. Pat. No. 3,399,041 (McCabe). However, such additives are expensive to produce and present metering and mixing problems when added to lubricants.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a method whereby the oxidative stability of lubricant chargestocks is improved.
A further object of this invention is to provide for a method of treatment whereby hydrocarbon feedstocks presently of poor or marginal lubricant quality may be 2 upgraded through oxidative stability improvement in order to produce lubricants havingsufficiently high anti-oxidation qualities.
A further object of this invention is to provide for a method of treatment whereby the lubricant produced is enhanced in the response to antioxident additives.
Another object of this invention is to provide for a method of lubricant treatment whereby the lubricant produced has sufficient oxidative stability to substantially reduce metals corrosion and wear when employed as a lubricant for such metals.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the entire specification including the following detailed description and claims.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A method of improving the oxidative stability of a sulfur and oxygen and/or nitrogen containing hydrocarbon lubricant base stock has recently been discovered. The method consists of contacting said lubricant base stock with a nickel-molybdenum on large pore alumina catalyst in the presence of a gas mixture of about hydrogen and 10% hydrogen sulfide, said contacting being carried out under hydrofinishin g conditions of at temperature of about 200 to 700F., space velocities of about 0.25 to 10 L.I-I.S.V. and pressures of about to 2,000 p.s.i.g.; and removing said charge stock from said catalyst following said contacting.
In a preferred embodiment the charge stock has a sulfur content of about 0.01 to 2.5 weight percent, and an oxygen and/or nitrogen polar compound concentration of about 0.0001 to 2.0 weight percent, the viscosity of the lubrication base stock is about 100 SSU to 800 SSU at 100F the temperature, space velocity and pressure are 300 to 600F., l to 4 L.H.S.V. and 100 to 500 p.s.i.g. respectively.
EXAMPLES l36 Two catalysts, one a nickel-molybdenum on alumina and the other a molybdenum on alumina, were obtained as meshed through 8 on 16 mesh/inch. The NiMo/Al O catalyst used is more particularly defined as follows:
Surface Area 57 m lg Ni 2.7%
Real Density 4.29 M00; l 1.7%
Particle Density 1.57 Al. ,O 86.2%
Pore Volume .405 cc/g Pore Diameter 284 A Angstrom: 0-50 50l()0 lOO-ZOO 200-300 300 "/1 of Pore Dia. in Range 22 4 33 10 Ill Each catalyst was then sulfided with about 2% H 8 98% H gas of 500 p.s.i.g. and at about 450750F. For each catalyst, the initial sample was obtained with pure H in the circulating gas and the second sample with H gas containing 10% H 8. Temperature was then raised and the third sample obtained with the gas containing 10% H 8 and the fourth with pure H This alternating procedure was carried on for the remainder of the run. In all cases the product was nitrogen stripped of H 5 gas at F. The Rotary Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT) performed on each of the samples is described in ASTM test D. 2272 67 1972 Annual Book Of ASTM Standards, Part 17 (American Society for Testing and Materials, Phil., Pa. 1972) p. 783.
3 Results of these examples are compared with an untreated base stock are shown in Tables 1 1 and FIGS.
While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory of operability, the following analysis of a suggested mechanism is put forward specifically by way of explaining FIGS. 1-4. FIG. 1 shows the variation of differences in the sulfur content of the hydroflnished products. However, the sulfur and nitrogen content of the hydrofinished products obtained using NiMo/Al O with H 8 in the circulation gas is nearly the same as that obtained using Mo/Al O with no H 3, yet there are substantial differences in their respective RBOT values. A possible explanation for these RBOT differences is that the NiMo/Al O catalyst is more selective for removal of stability reducing oxygen polar compounds than Mo/Al O The hypothesis that NiMo/Al O has increased activ ity for oxygen removal is consistent with the observation that the hydrofinished oil has a higher RBOT value than clay percolated oil. Evidence from chromatography and mass spectra indicates that clay percolation is very efficient for removal of stability reducing nitrogen compounds, but is not as efficient for removal of 'oxygen polar compounds. Light Arabian lube stocks have relatively low nitrogen contents. and, therefore, in a very highly furfural treated stock such as the one used in the present study, clay percolation is not as effective as hydrofinishing for RBOT improvement; Therefore, reduced dcsulfurization due to the presence of H 5 in the circulating gas coupled with higher oxygen removal 4 oil having a higher RBOT stability than that obtained from clay percolation;
Tables 3 and 4 and FIGS. 3 and 4 give the results of hydrofmishing of Mid-Continent Sweet lube stock. Such stocks are relatively high in nitrogen polar compounds, and relatively low in oxygen polar compounds. The presence of H 5 or the use of NiMo/Al O shows no advantage perhaps because the more difficult to remove nitrogen compounds in this stock, and not the oxygen polars, are the preponderant factor in controlling stability.
It has been found that polar oxygen andnitrogen containing compounds are detrimental to lube .oil performance in at least some applications, and that some sulfur compounds are beneficial. It is thus desirable to remove the polar materials without removing sulfur, especially in relatively high sulfur stocks. Since hydroprocessing under relatively mild conditions does not normally remove nitrogen containing material, the,
ideal charge stock for hydroprocessing should contain relatively small amounts of nitrogen in the furfural treated and dewaxed oil compared to the total amount of polar material. Typical oils may have from 0.1 to
0.6% polar material (which is the material not eluted by pentane from a Florisil (6% H O) chromatographic column) and a nitrogen content of 10 to 100 ppm. Typically the nitrogen materials represent about 30-5O percent of the total polar material, where 100 ppm nitrogen corresponds to about 0.3 to 0.4% nitrogen containing polar material. The presence of H 8 permits some of the deleterious polar materials to be removed without removing the sulfur compounds. The effectiveness of HgS/HZ hydroprocessing a particular lube stock should therefore increase with a decreasing percentage of nitrogen containing polar material and with increasing sulfur content. A stock such as Arab Light where only about 2030 percent of the polar material contains nitrogen and with about 0.25 to 0.4% sulfur is ideal for this application.
The development of a good low temperature (300600F.) catalyst for nitrogen removal would extend the application of this technique to virtually all potential lube oil'stocks.
