Dialkyl Dithiophosphates

The improvement of fuel consumption is an important driving force for research and development in the automobile industry in order to minimize greenhouse gas emissions as well as improving fuel economy. Aluminum alloys are a class of alternative materials that are being used to replace cast iron in motor components due to the concomitant weight savings which result in improved fuel efficiency, and cost savings. Our research focuses on these alternative Al-based alloys as well as traditional steel interfaces, and the protective films that form on the surfaces. Currently the zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphates (ZDDPs) have been used as engine oil additives for over 60 years. They are important chemically-active additives, known for their antioxidant and antiwear characteristics. ZDDPs are known to form a protective film (tribofilms) at rubbed surfaces, typically on iron containing metals surfaces commonly used in the automotive industry; however ZDDPs and the products formed are not well suited for the environment as they can readily poison the catalytic converters and their efficacy on Al-Si alloys is not well established.

The low cold flow property of the coconut oil restricts its tribological applications as a lubricant. The flow property at low temperature was improved by removing the glycerol molecules from the oil thereby converting the fatty acids into esters by the process of alkali esterification. Free movement of these fatty acid esters have improved the cold flow properties of the oil from 26.8 ℃ to −4.5 ℃, but have an inverse effect of reduction on the tribological properties when compared to crude coconut oil. Additives such as tricresyl phosphate, oleic acid, and ethylene vinyl acetate were used to improve the anti-wear, anti-friction properties, and viscosity, respectively. The combined action of the additives have further improved the flow property to −6.9 ℃ and other tribological properties such as coefficient of friction and wear was reduced up to 12.8% and 2.3% respectively when compared to commercial two-stroke engine oil. Environmental hazards due to the exposure of newly formulated two-stroke engine oil were studied using bacteria ( B cereus and E coli). These results establish that the newly formulated oil is nontoxic and have comparable tribological properties to that of commercial two-stroke engine oil.
