This book explores the production and applications of lubricants derived from renewable feedstocks. It covers various types of base oils, including synthetic, mineral, and natural oils, and discusses the physical and chemical properties of biobased lubricants. The work highlights the potential of vegetable oils like jatropha, karanja, and palm oil as sources for biolubricant manufacture. It delves into the chemical modification processes necessary for creating biobased lubricants and examines the environmental benefits and challenges associated with their use. The book is intended for researchers, scientists, and professionals in the fields of renewable energy and sustainable chemistry who are interested in the development of eco-friendly lubricant technologies. |
