Metal containing organic compositions and method of preparing the same

Claim 1

THE PROCESS OF PREPARING A STABLE DISPERSION OF A BASIC METAL COMPOUND IN A LIQUID LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITION CONSISTING OF: A. ADDING AN INORGANIC COMPOUND TO AN ALIPHATIC MONOHYDRIC ALCOHOL CONTAINING 1 TO 5 CARBON ATOMS WHEREIN THE CATION OF SAID INORGANIC COMPOUND IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SODIUM, BARIUM, AND CALCIUM AND THE ANION IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF OXIDE, HYDROXIDE, AND SULFIDE RADICALS. B. FORMING AN OIL INSOLUBLE COMPLEX BY PASSING CARBON DIOXIDE THROUGH THE ALCOHOL-INORGANIC COMPOUND MIXTURE IN THE PRESENCE OF FROM 0.5 TO 1.0 MOLE OF WATER PER MOLE OF INORGANIC COMPOUND. C. DISPERSING THE RESULTING COMPLEX IN A LIQUID LUBRICATING OIL CONTAINING AN OIL SOLUBLE DISPERSING AGENT SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF SULFONIC ACIDS AND METAL SULFONATES AND CHARACTERIZED FURTHER IN THAT THE AMOUNT OF SAID INORGANIC COMPOUND VARIES FROM ABOUT 11/2 TO 6 TIMES THAT REQUIRED TO REACT WITH THE SULFONIC ACID WHERE THIS MATERIAL IS USED AS THE DISPERSING AGENT AND 1/2 TO 5 TIMES THE NUMBER OF CHEMICAL EQUIVALENTS OF THE DISPERSING AGENT WHERE SAID DISPERSING AGENT IS A SALT OF A SULFONIC ACID, AND D. HEATING THE RESULTING DISPERSION WHEREBY SAID ALCOHOL IS REMOVED AND SAID COMPLEX DECOMPOSED.
