Abstract:

Nowadays, the development of biodegradable products is important in improving energy efficiency and green environment, particularly in energy conservation and rotation of machinery systems. In the case of sliding components, lubrication system and lubricant quality plays an important role for energy efficiency as it is directly involved with frictional force and components wear characteristics. The conventional mineral oil-based lubricant is used for machinery lubrications; however, it is nonbiodegradable and is an environmental pollutant. This investigation attempts to develop biolubricant acquired from various vegetable oils to replace mineral oil-based lubricants. This study evaluates the physicochemical properties, thermal stability, and lubricating and tribological characteristics of olive oil and its comparative analysis with commercial lube oil. A four-ball tribotester was used to measure the friction and wear properties of the sample according to the ASTM 4172 method. Olive oil has an excellent oxidation stability due to the presence of high percentages of oleic acid in fatty acid composition. Olive oil showed higher viscosity index and kinematic viscosity than other vegetable oils; hence, it is better for boundary lubrication. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that olive oil persists thermally steady up to 390 °C. Olive oil showed a lower coefficient of friction, wear scar diameter, and worn scar surface area than commercial lube oil. Therefore, due to the better lubricating performance, olive oil has high potential for use as an engine lubricating oil for improving efficiency of heavy-duty engines in the automotive applications.
