Lubricants carboxylic acid

Many impurities are present in commercial caprolactam which pass into the liquid wastes from PCA manufacture from which caprolactam monomer may be recovered. Also, the products of die thermal degradation of PCA, dyes, lubricants, and other PCA fillers may be contained in the regenerated CL. Identification of die contaminants by IR spectroscopy has led to the detection of lower carboxylic acids, secondary amines, ketones, and esters. Aldehydes and hydroperoxides have been identified by polarography and thin-layer chromatography. 

A cooling, lubricating, and cleaning agent for use by the metalworking industry has been patented. It is produced by the condensation reaction of an excess diethanolamine or monoethanolamine with boric acid and an ether carboxylic acid or mixtures of ether carboxylic acids and fatty acids [46]. An advantage of these products is that they prevent the deposition of lime soaps. 

For use in lubrication oils Ca salts of isostearyl ether carboxylic acids are described as multifunctional additives to achieve a good water tolerance of the oil and good antiwear characteristics [182]. 

Lithium compounds are used in ceramics, lubricants, and medicine. Small daily doses of lithium carbonate are an effective treatment for bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder but scientists still do not fully understand why. Lithium soaps—the lithium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids—are used as thickeners in lubricating greases for high-temperature applications because they have higher melting points than more conventional sodium and potassium soaps. 

The pendant hydroxy groups of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers of dihydroxy and trihydroxy alcohols may be sulfurized to obtain a sulfurized alcohol additive. This is effective as a lubricant in combination with oils and fats [387,533]. The sulfurized alcohols may be obtained by the reaction of sulfur with an unsaturated alcohol. Furthermore, fatty alcohols and their mixtures with carboxylic acid esters as lubricant components [1286] have been proposed.

Hunt et al. [354] used cSFC for the separation of extracts of poly(alkylene glycol) lubricants and sorbitan ester formulations. Doehl et al. [337] have compared the performance of cSFC-FID and pSFC-FID with both scC02 and scN20 in the analysis of the antiblocking agents oleamide and erucamide, the antistatic Armostat 400 and antioxidant Hostanox SE-10, none of which can be detected by UV absorption. By using open-tubular capillary columns, PAs as well as (un)substituted heavy carboxylic acids (> C ) can be eluted. 

In naphtha and light distillate components, oxygen-containing compounds appear as carboxylic acids and phenols. Most of these compounds concentrate in the kerosene, fuel oil, and lighter lubricant fractions. Straight-run gasoline, heavy distillates, and residual fuels usually contain few acids. 

The newer HFC refrigerants are not soluble in or miscible with mineral oils or alkylbenzenes. The leading candidates for use with HFC refrigerants are polyol ester lubricants. These lubricants are derived from a reaction between an alcohol and a normal or branched carboxylic acid. The most common alcohols used are pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane, neopentylglycol, and glycerol. The acids are usually selected to give the correct viscosity and fluidity at low temperatures. 

Aliphatic carboxylic adds are an important and widely used class of commercial chemicals. The commertial uses of carboxylic acids include synthetic intermediates, lubricants, catalysts, and preservatives, to name just a few. Some carboxylic adds cause liver (hepato) toxicity, most notably valproic add (2-propylpentanoic add) (12), and 2-ethylhexanoic add, (13). Although relatively few carboxylic adds cause liver toxicity, when it does occur it can be severe [49]. 

The corrosive activity on copper/lead bearings for typical carboxylic acids, such as decanoic, lauric, palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids, as 1 % w/w solutions in a lubricating oil base stock with excess of hard-core RMs, measured by infrared spectroscopy, supports the observation for the corrosive activity of used lubricating oils. An increase in total acidic number (TAN) is generally either an indication of contamination with acidic combustion products or the result of oil oxidation. Corrosion of bearing metals by used lubricating oils requires the presence of both acids and peroxides and probably takes place by a two-step mechanism. In the first step, the peroxide reacts with the metal to form a metal... 

Cobalt catalysts completely dominated industrial hydroformylation rmtil the early 1970s, when rhodium catalysts were commercialized. Most aldehydes produced are hydrogenated to alcohols or oxidized to carboxylic acids. Esterification of the alcohols with phthalic anhydride produces dialkyl phtha-late plasticizers that are primarily used for polyvinyl chloride plastics - the largest single end-use. Detergents and surfactants make up the next largest category, followed by solvents, lubricants, and chemical intermediates. 

Polyethylene (Fig. 3.5) can be modified by air oxidation in the melt at high pressure to add hydrophilic character (mainly carboxylic acid gronps). Emnlsifi-cation in the presence of alkali will provide higher qnality, more stable prodncts. They show high lubricity (reduced surface friction) that is not durable to dry cleaning, they are stable to extreme pH conditions and heat at normal textile processing conditions, and are reasonably priced and compatible with most textile chemicals.
