Abstract
Abstract A detergent additive for lubricating oils is prepared by reacting an alkyenolsulfide with an oxide or hydroxide of a earth-alkali metal and carbonating the reaction product with carbon dioxide, the reaction being carried out in the presence of a promoter, selected in the class of the organic nitrogen compounds, and possibly of a co-promoter; the temperature and the time of the reaction are depending on whether the co-promoter is present. The resulting product shows improved detergency and flow-ability properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
In a process for the preparation of detergent additives for lubricating oils, of the type in which an alkylphenolsulfide having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R represents a C 8 -C 12 alkyl radical, x has an average Value of between 1 and 2, and n is 0 or 1, is reacted with calcium metal oxide or hydroxide and carbonated with carbon dioxide, the reaction water being then distilled up to refluxing of the solvent, and the reaction product is filtered and then separated from the reaction solvent, the improvement comprising carrying out at least one of (1) the neutralization reaction between said alkylphenolsulfide and the calcium oxide or hydroxide and (2) the carbonating reaction by adding to the mixture 0.1-20% by weight, referred to the weight of the final product, of a promoter comprising a mono- or polyfunctional organic nitrogen derivative which is selected form the group consisting of primary and secondary alkylamines having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, polyalkyleneamines having 2 to 6 nitrogen atoms and the alkylene radical of which has 2 to 5 carbon atoms, aminoacids having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, aminoalcohols and polyalkanolamines having 2 to 12 carbon atoms and oleic acid amide of tetroethyleneysentamine, the reaction being effected in a hydrocarbon solvent containing 6 to 12 carbon atoms.
