General
- Biolubricant is a
product, other than food or feed, substantially composed of certain
biological products, agricultural materials or forestry materials.
- The term
biolubricants applies to all lubricants which are both rapidly
biodegradable and nontoxic for humans and aquatic environments.
- ‘Biolubricants’ are
often, but not necessarily, based on vegetable oils.
Process
- Al2O3 and H3PO4/Al2O3
catalysts were investigated in the conversion of oleic acid to biofuels
and biolubricant at 1 atm and at 623 K.
- A modified standard
oxidation procedure, more suitable for the chemical composition of the
biolubricant, has been carried out.
- Generally
Biolubricants prepared with mono-unsaturated fatty acids.
Application
- Biolubricants must be
used in priority for all applications where there is an environmental
risk.
- Biolubricants can be
used very successfully as concrete release agents.
- Biolubricants can be
beneficial to industry due to the fact that they are functionally non
toxic and are readily biodegradable.
- One of the important
advantages for crop based lubricants, is the much lower coefficient of
friction, which can lead to reduction of energy for almost any equipment
which uses biolubricants; energy savings in operation is an attractive
benefit.
Market
- In UK the total
hydraulic fluids market amounts to 120,000 tonnes per annum,
biolubricants currently account for less than 1% of this market, or less
than 1,000 tonnes per annum. The greatest potential for expansion of
biolubricants markets is thought to lie with hydraulic fluids.
- Some industry
estimates predict that introduction of eco-labelling and incentives for
use of biolubricants could increase uptake by 5%.
- The United States
lags about 10 years behind Scandinavia and Germany in work on
biolubricants.
- For many of the
emerging markets for biobased lubricants, the appeal is that the
products are kinder to the environment than their petroleum-based
counterparts.
- Lubricants of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, the country’s largest producer of biolubricants.
