This study developed a novel method for the production of fatty acid alkyl esters and TFATE-based biolubricants from vegetable oils using Zn Al hydrotalcite as a heterogeneous catalyst. High yields of biolubricant were obtained under specific chemical conditions, and the Zn Al hydrotalcite was analyzed using various techniques. The resulting biolubricant exhibited excellent tribological properties, with the lowest coefficient of friction.
Trimethylolpropane fatty acid triester (TFATE) is a potential biolubricant that could substitute mineral-based lubricants in an environmentally responsible way. Double transesterification from vegetable oils would play a key role in the development of biodiesel and biolubricants. However, there are difficulties associated with highpressure maintenance, energy consumption, and substrate saponification caused by strong homogeneous alkaline catalysts. In this research, develop a novel method for using Zn Al hydrotalcite as heterogeneous catalysts in the production of fatty acid alkyl esters and TFATE-based biolubricants (biodiesel & biolubricants) from vegetable oils through a double transesterification with methanol and trimethylolpropane (TMP), respectively. As a result, high yields of biolubricant were formed under the following chemical conditions for the latter; alcohol to fame ratio is 4:1; the concentration of the catalyst is 5%; and the temperature is 140 degrees C. by using XRD, FTIR, TGA, and SEM-EDX, the Zn Al hydrotalcite was examined. The product was analyzed by using H-1 NMR, FTIR, and Gas chromatography techniques. Moreover, physicochemical, along with tribological properties were also evaluated. the developed biolubricant's tribological characteristics indicated the lowest coefficient of friction.
