Lubricant oils play essential role in manufacturing processes for reducing friction and wear between contact parts at different speeds. Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is a new source from vegetable oil and has potential as an alternative source of mineral lubricant oils. This study was performed at various speeds (800, 1200, and 1600 rpm) and at a constant load (392N), temperature (75°C), and time (1 h) using a four-ball tribotester. To evaluate the PFAD results, similar experiments were done using hydraulic oil, and the results were compared mutually. The results showed that the anti-friction, anti-wear, viscosity, and flash temperature parameter (FTP) of PFAD were higher than those of hydraulic mineral oil.

This study investigates the physical properties of pure palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) as a new, clean and renewable source of lubricant and hydraulic oil. This study is done using a four-ball tribotester. The experiments are conducted at five different temperatures of 55, 75, 95, 105 and 125 °C. The rotational speed was fixed at 1200 rpm, normal load was 40 kg and duration was 1 hour. For evaluating the results, all experiments again were conducted using commercial engine mineral and hydraulic mineral oil and at the end all results were compared together. The results show that PFAD has higher anti friction and anti-wear ability.

Palm-based oil properties, which consist of long fatty acid chains, have the potential to replace current mineral oils. Recent studies have shown that palm-based oil has comparable lubricating properties to those of commercial engine oil. However, several palm oil products yet to be discover as lubricants such as RBD Palm Stearin (RBD PS) and Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) due to its solid form properties. In this study, both RBD PS and PFAD has been tested for the suitability as lubricant in the tribological experiments consists of anti-wear test and extreme pressure test according to ASTM standards of D4172 B and 2783 respectively. In ASTM D4172 B, test has been conducted with 40kg load and 1200 rpm speed at 75°C in duration of 60 minutes while in ASTM 2783 the temperature and speed are remain constant at 45°C and 1760 rpm in duration of 10 minutes with increasing loads until failure detected. Mineral Oil (MO) has been used as a direct comparison between commercial engine oil and bio-based palm oil. Results shows PFAD has recorded lowest average coefficient of friction (COF), wear scar diameter (WSD) and surface roughness at 0.038, 433µm and 0.188µm in anti-wear test. In the extreme pressure test, RBD PS shows the earliest failure of 4mm wear scar diameter at 126kg followed by palm fatty acid distillate and mineral oil at 130kg and 146kg load.

This paper presents a study of the development of first order flash temperature models for basestock mineral oil containing palm olein and aminephosphate additives. The flash temperature parameters are developed in terms of load, rotational speed and operating time using response surface method and design experiment. Flash temperature contours have been generated from these model equations and are shown in different plots. This paper shows palm olein indeed itself is a good anti wear lubricant compared to mineral oil base stock (SN500) but the use of antiwear additives shows an increase in better lubrication as smaller wear scars are found out from using palm olein in the test runs using a fourball machine.

Now a days for machining operations apart from good tribological properties, the lubricant is also expected to be non-hazardous and non-polluting. When considering the ecological and environmental aspects in machining processes, the use of biodegradable oil can be an alternative source of lubricant due to its positive impact to employee health and environmental pollution. In this regard, our research work uses vegetable based cutting fluids developed from canola and sunflower oil, in an attempt to provide an eco-friendly environment. Experiments are carried out on a pin-on-disc tribometer with tungsten carbide (WC) pin against AISI 4340 steel disc for different sliding times under different environments, thus simulating the machining environment. The tribological properties, wear and friction of vegetable based oils were comparatively investigated with a commercially available mineral oil. Wear tracks and roughness profiles of test specimens were compared by using optical microscope and profilometer respectively. Results indicated that vegetable based canola oil demonstrated excellent tribological properties compared to that of commercial mineral oil.

The nicotine, reducing sugar and ion contents from the threshing of tobacco can re-used from the industry. The crude oil and fatty oil compositions of tobacco seeds can be considered as an alternative source of raw material for biodiesel. In this study, the nicotine, reducing sugar content, crude oil, fatty acid composition and ion content were determined in 29 genotypes and 1 cultivar of tobacco. The genetic diversity was determined among the tobacco cultivar and genotypes base on examined properties. The nicotine content varied between 0.10-0.87%, reducing sugar ranged from 9.70-21.30%, crude oil varied between 24.33-47.00% and fatty acid compositions was found in the range of 77.94-100%. Linoleic (13.92-75.04%) and butyric (0.33-64.98%) acids were the major components. Overall, the BSR-5 (52.56 mg/g) and ESR-5 (44.58 mg/g) genotypes exhibited the highest potassium contents and ESR-7 (6.54 mg/g) and ESR-8 (1.28 mg/g) genotypes had the lowest chlorine contents. As a result of this study, the highest nicotine content, reducing sugar and crude oil of tobacco were found in ESR-4, ESR-11 and BSR-5 genotypes, respectively. The dendrogram analysis divided the tobacco into two main groups and most of the same origin genotypes fell into the same group. The results indicated that the different tobacco leaves and seeds can be evaluated as an alternative source in the industry as cigarettes, biodiesel and different industrial applications such as cosmetic, oil paints and varnishes based on their chemical properties.
