Synthesis and characterization of eco-friendly bio lubricants from plant-based oils

Nowadays petroleum oil lubricants are most commonly use lubricant in motor vehicles and industrial machines. But those petroleum base lubricants create major problems to the marine and terrestrial environment. Researchers are trying to find new substances which are chemically modified for the substitution for petroleum base lubricant. Therefore, in this research four different types of bio lubricants were prepared by chemical modification of plant base oils such as Coconut oil, Palm oil, Neem oil and Waste palm oil. The bio lubricant was characterized using GC-MS analysis. And also Flash point, density at 15⁰C, 40⁰C and 100⁰C, viscosity at 40⁰C and 100⁰C, viscosity index, acid value, yield percentage and cost of product of samples were analyzed.
