Study the efficiency of some compounds as lubricating oil additives

Abstract

In the present work, some Mannich bases have been prepared by using different polyethylenepolyamines. Phosphosulphurized Mannich bases have been also prepared by reaction of prepared Mannich bases with P2S5. Structure of the prepared compounds was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and the molecular weights determination. The efficiency of the prepared additives as antioxidants and detergents/dispersants was investigated. It was found that the efficiency increases with increasing the NH groups in the amine used. The best prepared additive as antioxidant and detergent/dispersant was obtained by using triethylenetetramine.
