Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for improving the properties of lubricating oils. More particularly, it is concerned with the production of lubricating oils of improved viscosity index by contacting a lubricating oil fraction with a hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen containing a minor amount of carbon monoxide.
  • a less severe type of hydrogenation is generally referred to as hydrotreating or hydrofining.
  • the catalyst Ordinarily in this type of reaction the catalyst has little if any cracking activity but a significant amount of molecular rearrangement occurs although the principal purpose is to saturate aromatics and convert organically combined sulfur and nitrogen to hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. The reactions are usually sufficiently severe to produce some low boiling material.
  • hydrofinishing The least severe of the hydrogenation reactions is usually called hydrofinishing and its general purpose is to effect a slight reduction in the sulfur and nitrogen content of the charge material and to remove color bodies from the oil. Ordinarily in hydrofinishing there is little change in the over-all boiling range of the lube oil fraction feed and accordingly the yields of lube oil from this hydrogen treatment is generally within the range of about 90-100 percent. Hydrofinishing also has substantially no effect on the viscosity index of the charge.
  • lubricating oils of improved viscosity index are prepared by contacting a lubricating oil fraction with a halogen-free hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen containing a minor amount of carbon monoxide.
  • the lubricating oil fractions used in the process of and may comprise waxy distillates, deresined, decarbonized or deasphalted residual stocks, naphthene base oils, hydrocracked residuaand the like.
  • the reaction conditions in the hydrogenation zone include temperatures between about 550 and 850F., a preferred range being 600-800F. Suitable pressures include a range of about 500-2,000 psig. total pressure preferably 800l,500 psig.
  • the lube oil charge stock may be introduced into the reaction zone at a space velocity of between about 0.1 and 5.0 volumes of oil per volume of catalyst per hour, a preferred range being between 0.3 and 2.0 v/v/hr.
  • Hydrogen may be introduced into the reaction zone at a rate between about 500 and 10,000 standard cubic feet per barrel of charge, a preferred range being from 1,000 to 7,500 scfb.
  • the hydrogen need not be pure. Satisfactory results may be obtained using hydrogen having a purity as low as 65 per cent.
  • Suitable sources of hydrogen are catalytic reformer by-product hydrogen, electrolytic hydrogen and hydrogen produced by the partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous material followed by shift conversion and CO removal.
  • the carbon monoxide may be introduced into the hydrogenation zone at a rate between about 0.01 and 10.0 mol per cent of the pressuring gas which is referred to herein as hydrogen.
  • a preferred range is between 0.1 and 1.0 mol percent.
  • the hydrogen and carbon monoxide are introducedas a mixture.
  • the catalysts used in the process of our invention are composed of a hydrogenating component on a support.
  • Suitable hydrogenating components comprise Group VIII metals such as the noble metals, e.g., platinum or palladium or iron group metals, e.g., cobalt and nickel and the compounds thereof.
  • a' Group VI metal such as molybdenum or tungsten or compounds thereof.
  • thehydrogenating component is an iron group metal it may be present in an amount between about 1 and 10 percent by weight of the catalyst composite preferably between 2 and 8 percent.
  • the Group VI metal used in conjunction with the Group VIII metal may suitably amount to between about 5 and 35 percent by weight of the composite, a preferred range being between 8 and 25 percent.
  • the hydrogenating components may be present as the metal or metal oxide or sulfide.
  • Suitable catalyst supports comprise refractory inorganic amorphous oxides such as alumina, silica, magnesia, zirconia, titania and the like and mixtures thereof.
  • the catalyst support comprises a mixture of The following examples are given for illustrative purposes only.
