Study of phosphorus-containing compounds as anti-seize and anti-wear additives for transmission and engine oils

Dithiophosphoric acid esters containing various functional groups have been synthesized. On the basis of allyloxybenzyl- and allyloxymethylbenzylchlorides, as well as sodium diisopropyldithiophosphate, allyloxybenzyl- and allyloxymethylbenzyldialkyldithiophosphates were obtained, respectively. 5-methyl-2-hydroxyphenylcarbonylmethyldiisopropyldithiophosphate was synthesized by the interaction of 5-methyl-2-hydroxy-chloroacetophenone and sodium diisopropyldithiophosphate. The synthesized compounds were studied as anti-wear and anti-seize additives for lubricating oils. Were also investigated their thermo-oxidative and anticorrosive properties. It was found that all synthesized compounds provide an improvement in the anti-wear and anti-seize properties of petroleum oils, and the efficiency depends on the presence of certain functional groups in the molecules of additives.

Tribology Behaviors of LaF3 Nano Particles in 500SN Base Oil

LaF3nanoparticles were used as an additive to improve tribological performance of base oil stock. Their surface modifiers were prepared by a precipitation method, using two kinds of salts from dioctyl-dithiophosphoric acid and piperidine or di-(β-ethoxyl) stearamine. Morphology and structure of LaF3nanoparticles were investigated. The tribological behaviors of these solid-containing lubricating oils were measured by using a conventional four-ball machine. Wear scar surfaces on the test steel balls were examined by instrumental analysis to elucidate the anti-wear mechanism.

Earliest Results in the Use of Activated Composite Membranes for the Transport of Silver Ions from Aqueous Solutions

This paper presents the results concerning the first use of activated composite membranes (ACMs) for the facilitated transport of silver ions containing di-(2-ethylhexyl)-dithiophosphoric acid (DTPA) as the carrier. DTPA was immobilized by interfacial polymerization in a dense layer that was deposited in a porous layer, which was prepared on a nonwoven fabric support by phase inversion. The influence of fundamental parameters affecting the transport of silver ion as the carrier concentration in the membrane phase and stripping agent variation of the stripping solution have been studied. In the optimal conditions, the amount of silver transported across the ACMs was greater than 50%, whereas if the content of the carrier is modified, more than the 90% of the initial silver is removed from the feed phase.
