Excerpt from the Study
Internal combustion engine lubricants supposed to be eco-friendly. Their production and use should not have any threat to the environment and the users. However, production, use and unsafe disposal of lubricants such as engine oils for internal combustion engines have raised concern over environmental pollutions (Mobarak et al., 2014 and Aji et al., 2015). This has brought in attention towards the use of non-edible vegetable oils as an alternative to petroleum oil based lubricants (Bergstra, 2016). Non edible vegetable oil plants contain high amount of oils in their seeds which can be converted into biolubricant. Lubricants produced from vegetable oils are mostly used for low temperature applications and cannot be reliably used in Internal Combustion Engines due to their poor oxidative and thermal stabilities, gumming and low pour points due to the inherent weaknesses in their molecular structures (Srivastava and Sahai 2013). Development of chemically modified biolubricants which can be safely and reliably used at high and low temperatures is an option of prime importance which can overcome such problems.
