Methods for preparing normal and overbased phenates

A calcium sulphurised alkyl phenate (I) of total base number (TBN) 50-150, substantially free of polyol promoter oxidation products, is prepd. by contacting (a) an alkyl phenol having at least one 3-36C alkyl substituent, (b) sulphur, (c) a promoter selected from 1-3C alkanoic acids, and mixtures th...

Zusammenfassung:A calcium sulphurised alkyl phenate (I) of total base number (TBN) 50-150, substantially free of polyol promoter oxidation products, is prepd. by contacting (a) an alkyl phenol having at least one 3-36C alkyl substituent, (b) sulphur, (c) a promoter selected from 1-3C alkanoic acids, and mixtures thereof with alkaline earth metal salts of alkanoic acids; and (d) a calcium base, in at least an amt. sufficient to neutralise (A) and the alkanoic acid at 130-250 [deg]C in absence of polyol promoter or 1-5C monohydric alcohol, for sufficient time to react essentially all the sulphur and produce (I) free of elemental sulphur. Also claimed is the prepn. of a calcium overbased sulphurised alkyl phenate (II) of TBN 200-350, substantially free of polyol promoter oxidation products, by contacting product (I) with carbon dioxide, and additional calcium base if required to provide the said TBN, in presence of a 2-6C alkylene glycol at 200-260 [deg]C.
