Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed for preparing overbased carbonated sulfurized magnesium alkylphenates. In the process, magnesium methoxide is carbonated and then contacted with an alkylphenol to form a normal magnesium phenate. The normal magnesium phenate is sulfurized and then contacted with an additional amount of carbonated magnesium methoxide to form the overbased sulfurized magnesium phenate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A process for preparing an overbased sulfurized magnesium phenate which comprises: a. forming a first mixture of a C 1 to C 3 magnesium alkoxide in a lower alkanol solvent and carbonating the mixture with 1.5 to 4 weight parts of carbon dioxide per weight part of magnesium; b. contacting said carbonated first mixture with a C 8 to C 35 alkylphenol at a temperature from about 20° to 150°C to form a normal magnesium phenate, the amount of alkylphenol contacted being 0.5 to 2 mols per mol of magnesium contacted; c. contacting said normal magnesium phenate with 0.8 to 3.0 mols of sulfur per mol of alkylphenol in said normal magnesium phenate at a temperature of 130° to 250°C to form a sulfurized magnesium phenate and by-product hydrogen sulfide; and d. contacting said sulfurized magnesium phenate with a sufficient amount of said carbonated first mixture to provide from 0.1 to 2.0 molar parts of carbonated magnesium alkoxide per molar part of alkylphenol in said sulfurized magnesium phenate, said contacting being conducted at a temperature from 20° to 120°C.
