[0019] The present disclosure provides synthetic lubricity additives for hydrocarbon fuels such as diesel fuel. Lubricity additives may be species according to formula I:
R.sup.1[(—O—R.sup.2).sub.n-Q].sub.p (I)
wherein p is 3 or greater; wherein each n is independently selected from integers equal to 2 or greater; wherein R.sup.1 is a C3-C20 aliphatic hydrocarbon group of valence p which is branched or linear and which is substituted or unsubstituted; wherein each R.sup.2 is independently selected from C2-C20 divalent aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon groups which are branched or linear and which are substituted or unsubstituted; and wherein each Q is independently selected from —NH.sub.2 or a moiety according to formula II:
##STR00004##

[0020] In some embodiments, p is 3 or p is 4.
[0021] In various embodiments, each n may be independently selected from integers equal to or greater than 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10. In any such embodiments, n optionally may be limited to not greater than 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, or 8.
[0022] In some embodiments, R.sup.1 may be selected from straight-chain, branched, or cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon groups of valence p. In various embodiments, R.sup.1 may be selected from C3-C20 groups, C3-C16 groups, C3-C12 groups, C3-C8 groups, C4-C20 groups, C4-C16 groups, C4-C12 groups, C4-C8 groups, C5-C20 groups, C5-C16 groups, C5-C12 groups, C5-C8 groups, C6-C20 groups, C6-C16 groups, C6-C12 groups, or C6-C8 groups.

[0024] In various embodiments, each R.sup.3 may be independently selected from straight-chain, branched, or cyclic groups. Each R.sup.3 may attach to the succinyl group of Formula II at a terminal carbon of the R.sup.3 group, or may attach to the succinyl group at a non-terminal carbon of the R.sup.3 group such that the R.sup.3 group branches at that carbon. In various embodiments, each R.sup.3 group may be independently selected from C8-C60 alkenyl groups, C10-C60 alkenyl groups, C12-C60 alkenyl groups, C14-C60 alkenyl groups, C16-C60 alkenyl groups, C18-C60 alkenyl groups, C20-C60 alkenyl groups, C21-C60 alkenyl groups, C8-C50 alkenyl groups, C10-C50 alkenyl groups, C12-C50 alkenyl groups, C14-C50 alkenyl groups, C16-C50 alkenyl groups, C18-C50 alkenyl groups, C20-C50 alkenyl groups, C21-C50 alkenyl groups, C8-C40 alkenyl groups, C10-C40 alkenyl groups, C12-C40 alkenyl groups, C14-C40 alkenyl groups, C16-C40 alkenyl groups, C18-C40 alkenyl groups, C20-C40 alkenyl groups, C21-C40 alkenyl groups, C8-C32 alkenyl groups, C10-C32 alkenyl groups, C12-C32 alkenyl groups, C14-C32 alkenyl groups, C16-C32 alkenyl groups, C18-C32 alkenyl groups, C20-C32 alkenyl groups, C21-C32 alkenyl groups, C8-C28 alkenyl groups, C10-C28 alkenyl groups, C12-C28 alkenyl groups, C14-C28 alkenyl groups, C16-C28 alkenyl groups, C18-C28 alkenyl groups, C20-C28 alkenyl groups, C21-C28 alkenyl groups, C8-C24 alkenyl groups, C10-C24 alkenyl groups, C12-C24 alkenyl groups, C14-C24 alkenyl groups, C16-C24 alkenyl groups, C18-C24 alkenyl groups, C20-C24 alkenyl groups, or C21-C24 alkenyl groups. Among lubricity additives according to the present disclosure having R.sup.3 groups in the range of C12-C24, it is believed that the longer-chain R.sup.3 groups may provide more effective lubricity additives.
[0025] The present lubricity additives may be made by any suitable method. In one method, an alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) according to formula III:
##STR00005##
is reacted with a species according to formula IV:
R.sup.1[(—O—R.sup.2).sub.n—NH.sub.2].sub.p (IV)
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, n, and p are as described above. The species according to formula IV is a polyamine having p terminal amine groups and including polyether moieties represented by (—O—R.sup.2).sub.n.
[0026] The alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) according to formula III may be made according to any suitable method. In one embodiment, a selected olefin is reacted with maleic anhydride under inert atmosphere at elevated temperature, as described below in the Examples. The selected olefin may be present in a slight molar excess to minimize the formation of polymaleic anhydride. The olefin may be an alpha olefin or an internal olefin having a carbon-carbon double bond available for reaction. The selected olefin may be a single species of olefin or a mixture of species.
[0027] The ASA may be reacted with the species according to formula IV by any suitable method. In one embodiment, the two reactants are reacted under inert atmosphere at elevated temperature, as described below in the Examples. The ASA and the species according to formula IV may be present in the reaction mixture in a molar ratio of at least about 1:1, at least about 1.5:1, at least about 2:1, at least about 2.5:1, or at least about 3:1. Typically the ASA and the species according to formula IV are present in the reaction mixture in a molar ratio of about 2:1. In one embodiment, the reaction temperature is increased stepwise to provide amidation of ASA at lower temperatures, followed by ring closure to provide the corresponding imide groups at higher temperatures. Stepwise amidation and imidation was found to eliminate the formation of precipitates resulting from side-reactions.
[0028] The present fuel additives may be provided neat or in solution. Certain fuel additives may be gels or solids at room temperature in the absence of solvent, leading to difficulty in handling and in blending with fuel. For example, neat ASA/polyamine adducts are gels or solids at room temperature, depending on the length and the structure (e.g., branched or straight) of the alkenyl R groups. Formulations of these lubricity additives with as little as 10% solvent may remain liquid and stable (i.e., no gelation, precipitation, phase separation, or dramatic increase in viscosity) during prolonged storage at 10° C. Any suitable common solvent may be used. In some embodiments, the solvent is an aromatic solvent such as heavy aromatic naphtha. Greater dilution may result in reduced viscosity and therefore improved pumpability at lower temperatures. Formulations of these lubricity additives with 20% solvent, 30% solvent, or 50% solvent may demonstrate low viscosity at sub-zero (centigrade) temperatures and excellent performance as lubricity additives.
[0029] The present disclosure additionally provides fuel mixtures comprising a hydrocarbon fuel and a lubricity additive according to the present disclosure. Any suitable fuel may be used. In various embodiments, the hydrocarbon fuel may be a middle distillate fuel, a bio-sourced fuel, or a diesel fuel. The fuel mixture may additionally comprise other additives such as one or more of dispersants, antioxidants, viscosity index modifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and the like.

The resulting mixture was heated gradually to 120° C. with nitrogen blanketing, then heated up to 150° C. with nitrogen purging, and stirred at 150° C. with nitrogen purging for 3 to 5 hours or until completion of the reaction to result in the desired product. A portion of the product was formulated to 70% or 80% actives by weight with heavy aromatic naphtha solvent in a glass jar, and the formulated product was put in a 6 to 8° C. fridge for at least 7 days for a product storage stability test. After finishing and passing the product stability test, the formulated product was used for lubricity performance evaluation (HFRR test).
