Technical Field
The invention relates to a polyether amine structure and a preparation method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to polyetheramines primarily useful as fuel detergents and to a process for their preparation.
Background
Part of the components of liquid fuels form carbon deposits during the operation of internal combustion engines, which results in poor emissions and reduced fuel economy, and fuel detergents function in liquid fuels to inhibit deposit formation. At present, the development of gasoline detergents has become an integral part of the research, development and application of gasoline engines, and on the one hand, with the progress of internal combustion engine technology, advanced internal combustion engine manufacturing technology puts higher requirements on gasoline detergents, for example, the gasoline detergents are put to higher standards by the increasingly widespread application of direct injection gasoline engines in cylinders.
Incomplete combustion of automotive hydrocarbon fuels results in the formation of deposits at various locations such as gasoline engine intake valves and combustion chambers, which carbon deposits adversely affect engine function and exhaust. For example, deposits in the combustion chamber reduce the volume space, and the compression ratio becomes high, which easily causes a knocking phenomenon. The octane requirement for gasoline increases and continued knock can cause stress fatigue or wear of engine components, resulting in shortened vehicle service life and increased maintenance costs. Therefore, the development of gasoline detergents is particularly important in order to clean deposits and prevent deposits from occurring.
The gasoline detergent as one of fuel oil additives has the structure of macromolecular surfactant molecule, which consists of polar group and non-polar group, the polar group can be adsorbed on the surface of deposit molecule and metal, and the non-polar group can raise the oil solubility and prevent the deposit molecule cluster from depositing on the metal parts, so as to play the role of dispersing and cleaning.
For example, additives of monoamine ether compound type and additives of polyether amine compound type are disclosed in USP3440029, EP310875, JP-B-56-48556, JP-A-3-128933, etc.
These etheramine-based compounds substantially exhibit satisfactory cleaning effects. However, in some cases, such as when the engine speed is increased or decreased frequently, the cleaning effect is not good; and the existing method for preparing the polyether amine has the defect of higher manufacturing cost.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, as the parent polymer of the polyetheramine compound, the hydroxyl polymer may be those commonly used in the art in designing fuel detergents, including but not limited to polyesters, polyethers, and enol polymers, among others.
Specifically, there may be mentioned polyesters having a corresponding number of free hydroxyl groups and polyethers having a corresponding number of free hydroxyl groups, with polyethers having a corresponding number of free hydroxyl groups being preferred.
Examples of the polyether having a corresponding number of free hydroxyl groups include a polyether having a hydroxyl group at one or both ends of a polymer chain, and a polyether having a larger number of hydroxyl groups obtained by using a comonomer such as a polyol.
More specifically, as the polyether having a corresponding number of free hydroxyl groups, there may be mentioned, in particular, an alkylene glycol polymer represented by the following formula (III):
