A method for producing an ashless, antioxidant lubricating oil additive. The method comprises: (a) reacting an alcohol with phosphorus pentasulfide to form a dithiophosphoric acid intermediate; (b) treating the dithiophosphoric acid intermediate with an expoxide to yield a corresponding dithiophosphoric ester alcohol product; and (c) recovering the dithiophosphoric ester alcohol product lubricant oil additive.

Ashless antioxidant lubricating oil additive

A process of converting linear olefins to branched olefins by a skeletal isomerization reaction wherein said reaction is carried out at a temperature of between about 300.degree. C. and about 650.degree. C., under a pressure of between about 0.1 and about 100 atmospheres and a space velocity of said linear olefins of between about 0.1 and about 40 WHSV in the presence of a steamed then acid washed zeolite ferrierite catalyst.

Treated bound ferrierite zeolites for skeletal isomerization of

The method of converting n-butylenes to isobutylene by a skeletal isomrization reaction wherein said reaction is carried out at a temperature of between 300.degree. C. and 650.degree. C., under a pressure of between 0.1 and 100 atmospheres and a space velocity of said n-butylenes of between 0.1 and 40 WHSV using a cagalyst comprising a zeolite binder selected frm the group consisting of alumina, silica, silica-alumina, clay and a combination thereof, said catalyst having a pore size of at least about 4.5 angstroms and the pore size structure is characteried by intersecting 10-member ring and 8-member ring channels.

Skeletal isomerization of n-olefins to iso-olefins on binded ferrierite

The conversion of normal olefins such as n-butylenes can be converted to branched olefin species such as isobutylene by skeletal isomerization over zeolite-based catalysts having pore sizes of at least about 4.5 Angstroms and a pore structure characterized by intersecting 10-MR and 8 MR channels. The zeolite-based catalysts have sufficient acidity to catalyze the skeletal isomerization of normal olefins. The catalysts can be used to produce isoolefins for reaction with alcohols in integrated processes to produce alkyl tertiary alkyl ethers such as MTBE.
