  • Publication number: 20110124538
    Abstract: Process technology is described for producing a reaction-derived product mixture containing a high yield of octylated phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine by catalytic alkylation of phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine with diisobutylene. New reaction-derived product mixtures are produced. Also provided are novel reaction-derived octylated phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine reaction product mixtures from which catalyst residues and excess olefin components have been removed. These reaction product mixtures are effective as antioxidants for various oxygen-sensitive substrate materials such as oils and lubricants. Also described are new octylated phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine product mixtures and their use in forming clear, stable, liquid antioxidant compositions for addition to a wide variety of substrates.

  • Patent number: 7341447
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for delivering manganese from a lubricant source into a fuel combustion system or to the exhaust therefrom. By the present invention, manganese from the lubricant will interact with phosphorus, sulfur, and/or lead from the combustion products. In this manner, the manganese scavenges or inactivates harmful materials which have migrated into the fuel or combustion products, and which can otherwise poison catalytic converters, sensors and/or automotive on-board diagnostic devices. The present invention can also lead to improved durability of exhaust after treatment systems.

  • Patent number: 6914037
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved process for producing organomolybdenum compositions with high molybdenum content that are highly useful as lubricant additives, in which the process involves reacting a fatty oil with a diamine, followed by reaction with a molybdenum source. The process of the present invention does not require a volatile organic solvent to promote molybdenum incorporation and produces an organomolybdenum composition having a high molybdenum content. In addition, the process can be conducted in the absence of sulfur and phosphorus-containing reactants.
