Abstract
In the quest to develop high-performance lubrication additives, a novel nanocomposite comprising biodiesel soot modified by silver (Ag/BDS) was synthesized. The tribological behavior of Ag/BDS nanocomposite as an additive for liquid paraffin (LP) were systematically investigated using response surface methodology. To elucidate the friction and wear mechanisms associated with the Ag/BDS nanocomposite, various analytical techniques were employed, including scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the concentration of Ag/BDS has a significant impact on the tribological properties of LP under different applied loads and sliding speeds. Notably, LP containing 0.25% Ag/BDS shows the most favorable tribological performance and in comparison, to pure LP, the average friction coefficient and average wear volume have been reduced by 42.7% and 21.2%, respectively. The mechanisms underlying the reduction in friction and anti-wear mechanism of Ag/BDS have been attributed to the excellent synergies of Ag and BDS. Specifically, the Ag particles facilitate the incorporation of BDS particles in the formation of uniform boundary lubrication films.
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering (Monthly, started in 1982) is the official journal of the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China and published by the Chemical Industry Press Co. Ltd. The aim of the journal is to develop the international exchange of scientific and technical information in the field of chemical engineering. It publishes original research papers that cover the major advancements and achievements in chemical engineering in China as well as some articles from overseas contributors.
The topics of journal include chemical engineering, chemical technology, biochemical engineering, energy and environmental engineering and other relevant fields. Papers are published on the basis of their relevance to theoretical research, practical application or potential uses in the industry as Research Papers, Communications, Reviews and Perspectives. Prominent domestic and overseas chemical experts and scholars have been invited to form an International Advisory Board and the Editorial Committee. It enjoys recognition among Chinese academia and industry as a reliable source of information of what is going on in chemical engineering research, both domestic and abroad.
