Vegetable oils can of Ser significant environmental advantages with respect to resource renewability and biodegradability, as well as offering satisfactory performance in a variety of applications. Synthetic ester-based fluids may also offer these advantages, however their cost can be prohibitively high. Formulating with vegetable oil does, however, present unique challenges. These are, most notably, the oxidative and hydrolytic instability and low temperature problems associated with the triglyceride. However, through advanced plant breeding techniques, vegetable oils are becoming available which exhibit excellent thermal and oxidative stability and other improved performance properties. The cost of these oils is much lower than synthetic esters, thereby making them attractive ‘environmental’ base fluids.","PeriodicalId":17149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Synthetic Lubrication","volume":"35 1","pages":"189-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76335740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermal stability, in the presence of typical hardware system metals, is one of the more important properties and is discussed in relation to molecular structure. Two Microscale evaluation techniques were devised and validated. Optimum thermal stability is observed when the chlorines in the molecules are positioned as far apart as possible. In general, it was found that the compounds with larger amounts of chlorine were less stable and the positioning of the chlorine in the molecule had a lesser, but measurable effect.","PeriodicalId":17149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Synthetic Lubrication","volume":"52 1","pages":"163-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80640114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method for assessing the biodegradation potential of new lubricants was developed by the Co-ordinating European Council (CEC) for the Development of Performance Tests for Lubricants and Engine Fuels in 1982. However, this method deals only with the aquatic environment. The use of such lubricants in agricultural machinery led to a modification of the CEC method to assess the relative biodegradability of lubricants in soil. After incubation of oil-treated soil in a simple and inexpensive incubation assembly, samples were extracted with solvent and the level of lubricant determined by infrared spectroscopy. The method was found to be both accurate and reproducible, giving excellent recoveries. It compared favourably with a gravimetric method and was so sensitive that it gave appreciable blank values from untreated soils owing to their content of long chain aliphatic natural products. The incubation and extraction methods were used successfully to assess the biodegradability of a range of synthetic lubricants in soil in comparison to a mineral oil-based lubricant and a natural vegetable oil. The synthetic oils were found to degrade more rapidly and extensively than the mineral oil-based lubricant but not as rapidly or extensively as the vegetable oil. Amendment with nitrate considerably enhanced the loss of all the oil tested, indicating the importance of nitrogen availability when assessing the inherent biodegradability of hydrocarbons in soil. As the data generated is from laboratory-based studies the results do not necessarily translate directly to the field situation. However, the method is suitable for screening new materials and for comparative purposes.","PeriodicalId":17149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Synthetic Lubrication","volume":"31 1","pages":"83-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86576966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
