- Abstract
Bio-lubricants, derived from plant resources, are gain ing prominence as sustainable alternatives to mineral oils. Recent research highlights deodorized distillates from edible oil production as promising bio-lubricant base fluids. These distillates, upon enzymatic treatment, reveal a profound decrease in free fatty acids, improving oxidation resistance. Plant extracts, rich in secondary plant metabolites especially in antioxidants, emerge as potential bio-additives, enhancing the oxidative stability of these lubricant systems. Additionally, research sheds light on cellulose derivatives like sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, as potential biologically-sourced thickeners for aqueous lubricants, addressing the challenges posed by water's inherent low viscosity. These findings accentuate bio-lubricants' potential to combine superior performance with environmental sustainability.
