The invention concerns a fuel for diesel engines, with a sulphur content of less than 500 ppm containing in a major proportion at least one average distillate from a straight-run distilling cup of crude oil, with temperature ranges between 150 and 400&#xb0; C. and in a minor proportion a lubricating additive containing monocarboxylic and polycyclic acids. The said fuel is characterized in that it contains at least 20 ppm of the additive consisting of at least one monocarboxylic aliphatic hydrocarbon, saturated or unsaturated, of linear chain between 12 and 14 carbon atoms, and at least one polcyclic hydrocarbon compound, containing at least two cycles each formed of 5 to 6 atoms one of which at most is optionally a heteroatom such as nitrogen or oxygen and the other atoms are carbon atoms, these two cycles having further two carbon atoms in common, preferably vicinal, these said cycles being saturated or unsaturated, substituted or non-substituted by at least one single grouping selected among the carboxylic, amine carboxyl, ester and nitrile groupings, the fuel containing more than 60 ppm of additive when the said combination is tall oil.

The invention concerns a fuel for diesel engines, with a sulphur content of less than 500 ppm containing in a major proportion at least one average distillate from a straight-run distilling cup of crude oil, with temperature ranges between 150 and 400&deg; C. and in a minor proportion a lubricating additive containing monocarboxylic and polycyclic acids. The said fuel is characterized in that it contains at least 20 ppm of the additive consisting of at least one monocarboxylic aliphatic hydrocarbon, saturated or unsaturate, of linear chain between 12 and 14 carbon atoms, and at least one polcyclic hydrocarbon compound, containing at least two cycles each formed of 5 to 6 atoms one of which at most is optionally a heteroatom such as nitrogen or oxygen and the other atoms are carbon atoms, these two cycles having further two carbon atoms in common, preferably vicinal, these said cycles being saturated or unsaturated, substituted or non-substituted by at least one single grouping selected among the carboxylic, amine carboxyl, ester and nitrile groupings, the fuel containing more than 60 ppm of additive when the said combination is tall oil.

The invention concerns an additive for motive fuel additive, in particular with low sulphur content not more than 500 ppm, consisting for the most part of a combination comprising 5 to 95 wt. % of a glycerol monoester R &mdash;C(O)&mdash;O&mdash;CH &mdash;CHO&mdash;CH OH or R &mdash;C(O)&mdash;O&mdash;CH(CH OH) , R being an alkyl chain containing 8 to 60 carbon atoms, or a monocyclic or polycyclic group comprising 8 to 60 carbon atoms, and from 5 to 95 wt % of a compound of formula R &mdash;C(O)&mdash;X, R being an alkyl chain containing 8 to 24 carbon atoms, or a monocyclic or polycyclic group comprising 8 to 60 carbon atoms, and X being selected among (i) the groups OR R being a hydrocarbon radical comprising 1 to 8 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by one or several esters; and (ii) the groups derived from primary or secondary amines and alkanolamines with aliphatic hydrocarbon chain, comprising 1 to 18 carbon atoms.

Additive for fuel oiliness

The invention provides a method comprising contacting, between 100&deg; C. and 230&deg; C. and under agitation, an elastomer, a functionalising agent and optionally, a peroxide compound. The functionalising agent is a thiolcarboxylic acid polyester or a reaction product of a thiolcarboxylic acid or ester with ethylene sulphide. The functionalised elastomer can also be pre-formed, then incorporated into the bitumen. The resulting compositions are usable directly or after dilution, for forming bituminous binders to produce surfacing, coating and waterproofing materials.

Fuel composition for diesel engines containing oxygenated compounds

The present invention concerns a process for preparing a basic additive for lubricating oils having an antiwear and detergent effect, the additive thus obtained and a lubricating composition containing the additive. The process consists of contacting an amino-acid in solution or in dispersion in the oil with a detergent, an alkaline-earth metal derivative, carbon dioxide in diluent oil, a hydrocarbon-based solvent, and a polar solvent in the presence of a nitrogen-based basic derivative.

Process for preparing an additive for lubricating oils, the additive

A process for inhibiting the deposit of paraffins in crude oils and petroleum fractions incorporating additives of the family of N-substituted succinimide ethers. The additives according to the invention make it possible, on the one hand, to maintain in dispersion the whole range of paraffins improving the flowing properties of crude oils and, on the other, to prevent the deposit of the heavier paraffins on the walls. Therefore, the process is effective during both the storage and the transportation of crude petroleum.

Polymer compounds resulting from the condensation of polyacrylic acids having a molecular weight comprised between 10,000 and 2,000,000 and alkylamines containing at least 12 carbon atoms in their chain. These products constitute paraffin deposit inhibitors and pour point depressants for crude petroleum oils.

Novel n-substituted polyamide type polymers, their method of preparation

This invention relates to polymeric additives useful for inhibition of the deposit of paraffins and improvement of the flow properties of crude oils and to compositions containing crude oils and such additives. The polymeric additive according to the invention consists of a polymer formed by units derived from one or more alkyl esters of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, one or more unsaturated alpha, beta-dicarboxylic compounds in the form of diacids, low alkyl diesters or anhydrides and one or more monomers having ethylenic unsaturation of the general formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2, in which Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, a halogen, a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbon group or an ester or ether group. Compounds containing a crude oil and 5 to 4000 ppm and preferably 100 to 1500 ppm of the additive have much improved flow properties.

Polymeric additives useful for inhibition of the deposit of paraffins in

This invention concerns a process for preparing very fluid overbased additives having a high basicity, by contacting an alkaline-earth metal derivative and at least one surfactant with carbon dioxide in a diluent oil and a hydrocarbon-based solvent in the presence of an oxygen-based promoter and a nitrogen-based promoter wherein the carbonation time is comprised between an initial point Po corresponding to the beginning of the temperature plateau of the exothermic reaction and the end point of the carbonation which corresponds to a sudden drop of the alkaline value, the additives according to the invention being utilized in lubricating oils and fuels.

Bitumen-polymer compositions are prepared, by mixing, at between 130.degree. C. and 230.degree. C., a bitumen with a styrene and conjugated diene copolymer and a sulphur source, the copolymer and the sulphur source being added to the bitumen either directly, or in the form of a mother solution in a hydrocarbon oil, then by maintaining the whole under stirring at between 130.degree. C. and 230.degree. C. for at least fifteen minutes. By way of sulphur source is used 0.005 to 15% by weight, with respect to bitumen, one or several polymeric or not, cyclic or linear polysulphides, and especially ditertiododecyl or dinonyl pentasulphide.
