Abstract: The present invention provides novel basic metallic salts of dithiocarbamic acid, in which the content of the basic ingredient (=a.times.3.times.100) is 30-100 mol %, represented by general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.4, which may be the same or different, are each a lipophilic group having 1-30 carbon atoms, M is a metal atom selected from the group consisting of zinc, copper, nickel, iron, cadmium, silver, lead, antimony, tin, and bismuth, and "a" is a coefficient of 1/3 to 1/10,said basic metallic salts of dithiocarbamic acid containing no phosphorus atoms and imparting low-wear properties when used as an additive for lubricating oils. The present invention also provides lubricating oil compositions containing in a lubricating base oil said basic metal salt of dithiocarbamic acid, which compositions are excellent in wear-resistant properties and frictional characteristics and suitable as a lubricating oil for automotive internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A filter of a nonwoven fabric capable of removing particles from a fluid has attached to the fibers of said fabric a polymeric substance having a functional group capable of adsorbing said particles. In a preferred embodiment the filter is used to remove carbonaceous particles from a hydrocarbon liquid.

Abstract: The invention comprises an oil-soluble ashless detergent dispersant consisting of a reaction product obtained by reacting (a) an alkenyl dibasic acid or its anhydride (the alkenyl group having at least 40 carbon atoms) with (b) an alcohol of the hindered type and then reacting the so obtained intermediate with (c) an amine or its derivative or analogue [the sum of moles of primary and secondary amino groups of (c) not exceeding the sum of moles of the ester linkage formed by the reaction between (a) and (b)], or consisting of a borated or phosphosulfided product obtained by reacting the above reaction product with boric acid (or its anhydride) or phosphorus pentasulfide.
