Abstract In this study, the tribological behavior of an ammonium-based protic ionic liquid (PIL) as an additive in a base mineral oil (MO) is investigated on a steel-steel contact at room temperature and 100 °C. Tri-[bis(2-hydroxyethylammonium)] citrate (DCi) was synthesized in a simple and low-cost way, and the ionic structure of DCi was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The stability measurement of 1 wt% DCi to a MO was investigated, and the lubricating ability and anti-wear properties of DCi as an additive in MO were also examined using a custom-designed reciprocating ball-on-flat tribometer. Optical microscope and profilometry were used to obtain the worn morphology of the steel disks. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were carried out to investigate the wear mechanism and to analyze the surface interactions between the rubbing components. When 1 wt% DCi is added into the base MO, frictional performance is improved at both temperatures studied with a friction reduction of 29.0% and 35.5%, respectively. Moreover, the addition of 1 wt% DCi to MO reduced the wear volume 59.4% compared to the use of MO. An oxygen-richened tribolayer is confirmed by EDS on the disk surface when DCi was used as additive under 100 °C.

Contact friction between moving components leads to severe wear and failure of engineering parts, resulting in large economic losses. The lubricating ability of the protic ionic liquid, tri-[bis(2-hydroxyethylammonium)] citrate (DCi), was studied as a neat lubricant and as an additive in a mineral oil (MO) at various sliding velocities and constant load on an aluminum–steel contact using a pin-on-disk tribometer. Tribological tests were also performed at different concentrations of DCi. When DCi was used as an additive in MO, friction coefficient and wear volume were reduced for each sliding velocity, with a maximum friction and wear reduction of 16% and 40%, respectively, when 2 wt % DCi was added to MO at a sliding velocity of 0.15 m/s. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were also applied to analyze the wear mechanism of the interface lubricated by MO and DCi as additive.

In this study, the tribological behavior of the Trihexyl tetradecylphosphonium-bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate [THTDP][Phos] ionic liquid with and without single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) dispersion as a thin boundary layer was intended for investigation. However, the surface heat treatment process was not sufficient to form a thin film on the sample surfaces. Thus, in each test condition, the lubricating agents were used as external (liquid) lubricants. Specifically, [THTDP][Phos] and ([THTDP][Phos]+0.1 wt.% SWCNT) boundary film layers were applied on 6061-T6 aluminum alloy disk samples and tested under sliding contact with 1.5 mm diameter 420C stainless steel balls using a ball-on-flat linearly reciprocating tribometer. A commercially available Mobil Super 10W-40 engine oil (MS10W40) was also tested and used as this investigation’s datum. The tribological behavior of [THTDP][Phos] and ([THTDP][Phos]+SWCNT) boundary film layers was analyzed via wear volume calculations from optical microscopy measurements, as well as by observation of the transient coefficient of friction (COF) obtained through strain gauge measurements made directly from the reciprocating member of the tribometer. Results indicate the potential for reduction of wear volume and coefficient of friction in the IL lubricated steel-on-aluminum sliding contact through (SWCNT) dispersion in the ionic liquid. Wear results are based on measurements obtained using optical microscopy (OM). Results discussed display improved tribological performance for both [THTDP][Phos] and ([THTDP][Phos]+SWCNT) over baseline MS10W40 oil lubricant for both roughness values tested for the steel-on-aluminum contact. No measurable improvements were observed between [THTDP][Phos] and ([THTDP][Phos]+SWCNT) tests.

AbstractBlack phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs), obtained via a typical solution-based top-down method, were used as water-based lubricant additives. BPQDs exhibited remarkable friction reduction and anti-wear properties even at the ultra-low concentration of 0.005 wt%, which reduced the friction coefficient and wear volume of the base liquid by 32.3% and 56.4%, respectively. In addition, the load-supporting capacity of the base liquid increased from 120 N to over 300 N. BPQDs-based additives exhibited a relatively long lifetime at a relatively high load of 80 N. The performance of BPQDs considerably exceeded that of the BP; this may be attributed to their small and uniform particle size, good dispersion stability in water, and high reactivity at the frictional surfaces. The results of the surface wear resistance analysis demonstrated that a robust tribochemical film with a thickness of approximately 90 nm was formed on the rubbing surface lubricated with 0.005 wt% of BPQDs dispersion. Moreover, the film served as a direct evidence of the excellent tribological performance of BPQDs.

Friction And Wear Properties

The friction and wear properties of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs lubricated by n- Al2O3 additives under ultrasonic vibration or not were studied. The scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were carried out to analyse the wear scar surface. The effect mechanism of ultrasonic vibration on friction pairs was discussed. The results indicated that ultrasonic vibration could decrease the friction and wear of GCr15/45# friction pairs, when the content of n-Al2O3 was 0.5wt%, the effect of ultrasonic vibration on friction pairs was most obvious. The friction coefficient, wear volume and wear scar depth under ultrasonic vibration decreased 10%, 34% and 13%, respectively. The friction reduction and anti-wear mechanism of n-Al2O3 was single “micro ball bearing” without ultrasonic vibration, and it changed to “micro ball bearing” and adsorption penetration film with ultrasonic vibration, so the friction coefficient and wear volume was reduced.

The ionoSolv pretreatment is a new technique employing protic low-cost ionic liquids and has previously been applied to successfully fractionate switchgrass and the grass Miscanthus giganteus. This study investigates the effect of using the protic ionic liquid solution [N2220][HSO4]80% with two different acid/base ratios (1.02 and 0.98) at 120, 150 and 170 °C on the pretreatment outcome of the hardwood willow. The ionic liquid solution was able to fractionate willow, and a pulp and lignin fraction were recovered after treatment. The pretreatment success was determined via enzymatic hydrolysis of the pulp, which showed that the ionoSolv pretreatment was able to increase enzymatic glucose yields compared to untreated willow biomass. The pretreatment produced a cellulose-rich pulp with high hemicellulose and lignin removal. The pulp composition and glucose yield after saccharification were greatly influenced by the acidity of the ionic liquid solution, temperature and pretreatment time. The extracted lignin was analysed via 2-D HSQC NMR spectroscopy and GPC to investigate the changes in the lignin structure induced by the pretreatment severity. The lignin structure (in terms of inter-unit linkages and S/G ratio) and molecular weight varied significantly depending on the pretreatment conditions used.
