Synthesis of biodegradable lubricant from jatropha oil with high content of free fatty acids.

Plant oil extracted from a non edible plant has the potential application as biodegradable lubricant. Such plant as toxic contained Jatropha curcas inhibits human consumption and thus making it suitable for such application since it does not compete with the food production. However, high content of...

Such plant as toxic contained Jatropha curcas inhibits human consumption and thus making it suitable for such application since it does not compete with the food production. However, high content of free fatty acids (FFA) in the jatropha oil (triglycerides) is found to have significant effect in the production of bio-lubricant. The formation of fatty acids occurs when the triglycerides are hydrolysed with moisture due to poor storage and handling.
