Abstract
A series of overbased magnesium fatty acids such as caprylate, caprate, laurate,
myristate, palmitate, stearate and oleate) were synthesized by the reaction of the fatty
acids with active – 60 magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at 60 oC in the
presence of ammonia solution as catalyst, toluene / ethanol solvent mixture
(9:1vol/vol) was added.
The prepared detergent additives were characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR and
evaluated by blending each additive in various concentrations with medium lubricant
oil fraction (60 stock) supplied by Iraqi Midland Refineries Company. The total base
number (TBN, mg of KOH/g) was determined, and the results of TBN were treated by
using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. It was found that the number of
carbons in the fatty acid (C8-C18) used for overbased detergent preparation had slight
effect on the TBN of the oil, while detergent concentrations (1-5% wt/wt) had a
significant effect on the TBN of the blended oil.
The oxidation stability of the oil blends with 2% of overbased magnesium palmitate
and overbased magnesium stearate detergents was evaluated, and the results showed
that these blends gave higher oxidation stability compared with the blends with
standard antioxidant supplied by Midland Refineries Company.
The properties of these oils were listed change to toluene and ethanol,
in table (2). respectively.
