Petroleum anti-oxidant additives

During the last two decades, the DTA-EGD-GC on-line coupled simultaneous apparatus has been applied in the following fields solid catalysts [77-79], anti-oxidation additives in petroleum [80], thermal characteristics of coal [81-83], mineralogy [60, 84-87], organometallic chemistry [88-90], polymer chemistry [91], pharmaceutical chemistry [92], environmental protection chemistry and the thermal behavior of all kinds of chemical compounds [62, 63]. Numerous DTA-EGD-GC curves are shown in Chapter 13. 

The base lubricant is usually a petroleum oil while the thickener usually consists of a soap or soap mixture. In addition they may contain small amounts of free alkali, free fatty acid, glycerine, anti-oxidant, extreme-pressure agent, graphite or molybdenum disulphide. 

The following amine boranes are manufd by the Callery Chemical Co a)Dimethylamine-borane, (CH,)aNH BHS, wh solid b)Tri-methylamine-borane, (CHS)SN BH, wh solid e)Pyridine-borane, CBHSN BHb, col liquid These amine-boranes are relatively stable complexes and are of interest because they act as selective reducing agents, polymerization catalysts, anti-oxidants and stabilizing agents. They may also be used for the prepn of diborane and as petroleum additives. Further information may be obtained from Tech Bull C-200(Ref 2)...
