[0001] In the past metal corrosion caused by conventional motor fuels such as gasoline was
not much of a problem because such hydrocarbon fuels are inherently non-corrosive.
However, with the advent of fuels containing alcohols such as gasohol or straight
alcohol fuels, corrosion has become a major problem because such fuels are corrosive.
It has been reported that this corrosion is due to the presence of acidic contaminants
in such fuels such as formic acid. It is almost impossible to avoid such contaminants
because they occur in fuel grade alcohols and are also formed in storage as normal
alcohol oxidation products.
[0002] It is known from U.S. 4,305,730 polymerized linoleic acid, especially trimer, is
an effective corrosion inhibitor for alcohol-type motor fuels. It has now been discovered
that the corrosion inhibiting properties of such polymerized polyunsaturated aliphatic
monocarboxylic acids are improved by use of the co-additive described herein.
[0003] According to the present invention metal corrosion caused by alcohol-type motor fuels
is inhibited by adding to the fuel a combination of (A) polymerized polyunsaturated
aliphatic monocarboxylic acid and (B) the reaction product of a polyalkylenepolyamine,
a monounsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid and, optionally, an alkenyl succinic
anhydride.
[0004] Specifically, the invention provides a liquid fuel adapted for use in an internal
combustion engine said fuel comprising from 5 to 100 weight percent alcohol, from
0 to 95 weight percent gasoline and a corrosion inhibiting amount of a combination
of (A) a polymer of one or more C
16 to C
18, preferably a mainly C,
8 polyunsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids and (B) a reaction product of (i)
about one mole part of one or more polyalkylene polyaniihes having the formula

wherein n is an integer from 1 to 8 the average value of n in a mixture of such polyamines
preferably being from 2 to 5, and R is a divalent hydrocarbon group containing 2 to
4 carbon atoms, (ii) about 0.1 to 5 mole parts of one or more C
10 to C
24, eg. a mainly C
18 monounsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids or lower alkyl esters thereof and
(iii) 0 to about 4 mole parts of an alkenyl succinic anhydride wherein the alkenyl
group contains 8-30 carbon atoms.
[0005] The 'combination' may be a simple mixture or as explained further hereafter, components
A and B may react together.
[0006] The additive combination is useful in any alcohol-type motor fuel including gasoline-
alcohol mixtures (e.g. "gasohol") as well as straight-alcohol type fuels. Useful alcohols
include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, isobutanol and the like including
alcohol mixtures. Gasohol usually contains about 2 to 30 volume percent alcohol. At
concentrations above 10 volume percent phase separation is a problem especially in
the presence of water which is difficult to avoid. Phase separation can be minimized
by including other oxygenates as co-solvents such as ethers, ketones, esters and the
like. An especially useful co-solvent is methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) which also
increases octane value.
[0007] The additive combination may be used at a concentration which provides the required
amount of corrosion protection. A useful range is about 1 to 5000 p.p.m. A more preferred
range is about 5 to 2000 p.p.m. and the most preferred concentration is 10 to 500
p.p.m.
[0008] Component A is preferably a polymer of a polyunsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic
acid chiefly consisting of C
18 acid units. Examples of these are linoleic acid and linolenic acid including mixtures
thereof. The polymers comprise mainly dimers and trimers of the polyunsaturated acids.
Suitable polymers of linoleic acid are available commercially. Mixtures high in trimer
content are most preferred.
[0009] Component B is a reaction product of two or three reactants.
[0010] The first reactant is a polyalkylene polyamine. These compounds have the structure

in which n is an integer from 1-8 preferably with an average value in mixtures of
2-5. R is a divalent hydrocarbon group containing 2-4 carbon atoms. Examples of these
reactants are ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, tetraethylene
pentamine, pentaethylene hexamine, propylene diamine, dipropylene triamine, tetrapropylene
pentamine, butylene diamine and the like including mixtures thereof. The more preferred
alkylene polyamines are the polyethylene polyamines especially those in which n is
an integer of 1-6 and most preferably mixtures of such polyethylene polyamines in
which n has an average value of 2-4.
[0011] The second is a monounsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid. Although such acids
containing 10-24 carbons have some utility, it has been found that superior results
are achieved using 18 carbon acids or mixtures of acids mainly composed of C
18 acids, especially oleic acid, or commercial products high in oleic acid content such
as tall oil fatty acids. These acids can also be used in the form of their lower alkyl
esters (e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl) in which case the alcohol is displaced
and distilled out during reaction.
[0012] The third reactant which is optional is an alkenyl succinic acid or anhydride, preferably
an anhydride. These are well known compounds and can be made by heating a mixture
of maleic anhydride and 1-olefin. The alkenyl group can vary over a wide range from
8-30 carbon atoms. Examples of these are octenyl, decenyl, dodecenyl, tetradecenyl,
hexadecenyl, octadecenyl, eicosenyl, docosenyl, tetracosenyl, tri- acoulenyl and the
like. More preferably, the alkenyl substituent contain 10-14 carbon atoms. The alkenyl
succinic reactant can also be used in the form of its lower alkyl ester but this is
not the preferred mode.
[0013] The B component is made by reacting the above reactants in the ratio of one mole
of polyalkylene polyamine: 0.1 to 5 moles of monounsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic
acid: 0 to 4 moles of alkenyl succinic anhydride; preferably the alkenyl succinic
anhydride is used at a mole ratio of 0.5 to 3.5.
[0014] The reactants can be mixed altogether to provide a product formed in a single stage.
[0015] A preferred method of making the (B) component is in a first stage to react the monounsaturated
aliphatic monocarboxylic acid with the polyalkylene polyamine; this reaction may preferably
be carried out in an inert solvent such as hexane, benzene, xylene and the like at
an elevated temperature. On completion of the first stage reaction, any remaining
solvent is removed and the resultant product is a substance useful as the B component.
In a more preferred method, the first stage product is then further reacted in a second
stage with the alkenyl succinic anhydride; this second stage reaction may be carried
out in another or the same inert solvent, preferably in mineral oil, to yield a solution
of a further product useful as the B component.
[0016] The reaction temperature in making the B component can vary over a wide range. A
useful range is about 40 to 200°C. More preferably, the reaction temperature in the
first stage is high enough to distill out any water or alcohol displaced in the reaction.
Thus, a more preferred range in the first stage is 100 to 190°C.
[0017] One way of forming component B is as follows: in a first stage of react 1 mole of
triethylene tetramine with between 1 and 2 moles of commercial oleic acid in hexane
at between 100 and 160°C to form primarily the amide. The water formed during the
reaction is continually removed together with the hexane. On completion of the reaction,
the product is cooled and reacted in a second stage with between 1.5 and 3 moles,
of alkenyl succinic anhydride at between 75 and 100°C and at less than 150 mm Hg pressure
for at least 1 hour; this second stage is preferably carried out using between 25
and 75 percent by weight of mineral oil as solvent.
[0018] A preferred method of forming the fuel compositions is to formulate the co-additives
as a concentrate and then simply add the proper amount of the concentrate to the alcohol-type
motor fuel. The concentrate comprises a suitable inert solvent such as alcohols, ethers,
esters, aromatic hydrocarbons and the like, and most preferably, aromatic hydrocarbons,
such as toluene, xylene and the like, containing about 1 to 50 weight percent of the
additive combination. The two active components, A & B, are preferably present in
the ratios of between 1 part by weight of A to 10 parts by weight of B and 10 parts
by weight of A to 1 part by weight of B. More preferably they are present in the ratios
of between 1 part of A to 5 parts of B and 5 parts of A to 1 part of B.
[0019] Of course, it will be realized that any excess amine function and carboxylic acid
function in the additive combination will probably exist as an amine salt. This is
not detrimental and is considered as part of the invention as long as any such salt
results from mixing the A and B components or from adding the A and B components to
the fuel. Optionally admixture of the additives may be in a refluxing solvent with
the elimination of water so as to form a reaction product.
[0020] To demonstrate the excellent corrosion inhibiting properties of the additive combination,
tests were conducted using metal coupons cleaned with carborundum 40, washed with
petroleum ether and finally dried in an oven at 40°C for 10 minutes. The coupons were
then weighed and immersed in 130 g of fuel in a sealed bottle for a specified period
and at a specified temperature; tests in which the coupons were only semi- submersed
were also carried out.
[0021] At the end of the test period, the coupons were removed from the fuel; after loose
deposits were removed with a light brush, the coupons were washed and dried as at
the start of the test and were then reweighed. Any change in coupon weight was recorded.
The corrosion was characterised by two modes, either weight loss by loss of metal
or weight gain due to deposition of corrosion products, in the tests carried out below,
visual examination of the coupons after test indicated that the two modes were mutually
exclusive.
[0022] The tests were carried out using as component A a polymer of a C
18 polyunsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid which essentially comprised a trimer
of linoleic acid and as component B, either component B1, a two stage reaction product
of triethylene tetramine with oleic acid and C
12 alkenyl succinic anhydride or component B2, a· one stage reaction product of triethylene
tetramine with oleic acid containing 6.0% nitrogen and having an acid value of 265
mg KOH/g (IP1 method). Because the second stage of the two stage reaction was carried
out in mineral oil, component B1 was made as a 50% concentrate in mineral oil, which
concentrate contained 2.5 percent nitrogen and had an acid value of 56 mg KOH/g (lPl
method). The components were mixed together and added to the fuel as a concentrate
in xylene.
[0023] A series of tests was carried out lasting 2 weeks at 40°C and using Fuel No. 1, comprising
methanol containing 100 p.p.m. formic acid and 10 p.p.m. methyl formate. The results
of these tests which are set out in Table 1 demonstrate the excellent anticorrosion
properties of a fuel containing an additive combination of the invention. Further
tests were carried out lasting 6 weeks at ambient temperature and using three different
fuels, as follows:-Fuel No. 2-15 wt percent methanol in gasoline containing 0.1 wt
percent water.
[0024] . Fuel No. 3-15 wt percent methanol in gasoline.
[0025] Fuel No. 4―methanol containing 0.1 wt percent water.
[0026] The results of these further tests are set out in Table 2 and further demonstrate
the effectiveness of the additive combination of the invention in combatting corrosion.
