Branched saturated esters and diesters: Sustainable synthesis of excellent biolubricants
The enzymatic production of biolubricants with desirable properties such as high viscosity index and resistance to oxidation is investigated. These characteristics are ascribed to their branched structure and high molecular weight, as well as, to the absence of unsaturated bonds in the molecule.

Effect of TMP-based-cottonseed oil-biolubricant blends on tribological behavior of cylinder liner-piston ring combinations [PDF]
Cottonseed oil-based biolubricant was synthesized by the TMP-based transesterification process. 10–50% by volume blends of TMP-based cotton-biolubricant and SAE-40 were prepared and tested on the high-frequency-reciprocating-rig with engine cylinder ...

Natural and Modified Montmorillonite Clays as Catalysts for Synthesis of Biolubricants [PDF]
In this study, natural and modified clays were evaluated as catalysts in an esterification reaction to obtain bio-based lubricants. The biolubricants are environmentally preferred to petroleum-based lubricants because they are biodegradable and non-toxic.

Synthesis of Biolubricant Basestocks from Epoxidized Soybean Oil [PDF]
This work deals with the preparation of biolubricant basestocks through the ring-opening reaction of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) by alcohols in presence of solid acid catalysts (SAC-13 resin). To this end, different experimental runs were carried out in a lab-scale reactor, analyzing the effect of the alcohol (methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 2-butanol),

Sulfonated activated carbons as potential catalysts for biolubricant synthesis [PDF]
Abstract In this study, sulfonated activated carbons have been prepared, under different conditions, with the purpose of evaluating the effect of the nature and amount of sulfonic surface groups on the esterification reaction of free fatty acids (FFA) with different long-chain alcohols.
