Potential of palm oil with tert-Butylhydroquinone in place of mineral oil lubricant for reducing environmental degradation

Lubrication has remained an important aspect of machines maintenance and designs since time immemorial, yet the quest for improved lubricant for sustainable life of both equipment and environment continues to intensify. Many lubricants that is, research for a lubricant that is capable of providing maintenance of sustainable equipment without compromise to the environment is on the rise have been formulated and a lot of discoveries have been found in approaches toward enhanced and sustainable lubricants performance. Addition of foreign materials in nano quantity to fortify base oil properties for special purposes has also received greater attention in recent years. While this approach has yielded amazing results, concerns bordering on non-biodegradability of the mineral oils and safety of their additives to the environment equally continue to grow. This has escalated research interest in vegetable oils and their derivatives such as palm oil and other seed oils as a substitute toward limiting the consequences of improper disposal and eventual natural habitat degradation. A new approach to this quest is the adoption of palm oil (in Super Olein IV64 grade) with 150–450particles per million of tert-Butylhydroquinone for comparison with tribological behavior of mineral oil (Shell Helix SAE40W10) within the temperatures of 40°C to 100°C using linear reciprocating tribometer Winducom ASTM G133 test rig. The results showed tremendous similarity in coefficient of friction values between 0.1 and 0.12 of Super Olein with 150 particles per million and 300 particles per million of tert-Butylhydroquinone correlating closely with that of Shell Helix SAE40W10 at 80°C and 100°C, respectively. Wear track on the 20mm square plate was observed on the low-resolution microscope while wear scar diameter of the 6 mm SKD11 ball was observed on the high-resolution microscope. The results obtained at a temperature of 100°C in Super Olein IV64 + 150 particles per million tert-Butylhydroquinone and Super Olein IV64 + 300 particles per million tert-Butylhydroquinone is very similar to that of SAE40W10 except for Super Olein IV64 + 450 particles per million TBHQ whose coefficient of friction maintained a higher value of 0.3 at those temperatures.

Strategy for economical and enhanced polyhydroxyalkanoate production from synergistic utilization of palm oil and derived wastewater by activated sludge

The potential of palm oil and derived wastewater pretreated by enzyme as co-substrates to accumulate polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) rich in short and medium-chain-length monomers under two feeding strategies was evaluated batchwise through mixed microbial cultures (MMCs) in activated sludge. A terpolymer with the maximum PHA content of 30.5 wt%, volumetric yield of 0.372 g COD/g COD and composition of ca. 84.7 ∼ 97.4/0.5 ∼ 1.6/2.1 ∼ 13.7 (3-hydroxybutyrate/ 3-hydroxyvalerate/ 3-hydroxyoctanoate, %) was achieved as a result of co-substrate incorporation. From the perspective of economic benefits, PHA accumulated via adopting strategy of supplementing carbon source to the same initial concentration per cycle saved 42.7 % of carbon consumption, along with a reduction in culture time (72 h). The above discoveries signify that the combination of palm oil and derived wastewater plus MMCs provides an alternative to the plastics industries for a more sustainable and efficient utilization of biological resources and an economic PHA accumulation approach.

Potential of palm oil for biodiesel production

ABSTRACTThis paper studies the potential of palm oil for producing biodiesel. In the analytical procedures, the demand of diesel in a country is reviewed and illustrated based on a set of previous data dating back 17 years from 1993 to 2009. The reviewed data are then compared with the demands of palm oil, B5, B100, and with GDP in a country. The forecasting process is performed through 15 years by setting a mathematical model using the linear regression analysis. Then, the survey of the quantity of palm oil in each region of Thailand was carried out. The potential studies in terms of economics are estimated by setting possible assumptions. The potential of palm oil which used to produce biodiesel in different classes based on the assumption of crude palm oil (CPO)-blending product price at 15 Baht/liter. The studied price of B100 is 26.88 Baht/liter, B2 is 29.93 Baht/liter, B5 is 29.83 Baht/liter and B10 is 29.18 Baht/liter respectively. Any proportion of biodiesel, known as B5 and B10, price of about 29.83 and 29.18 are calculated, respectively. The results of this study show that the potential of biodiesel production by palm oil in Thailand is extremely positive. However, the extracted price of palm oil is higher than that of the final competing product, petroleum diesel.

The Effect of Reactives Diluents to the Physical Properties of Acrylated Palm Oil Based Polyurethane Coatings

The development of polyurethane with hydroxyl access in a molecule leads to a new alternative of low toxicity green product. Palm oil is one of the major commodities in Malaysia. The potential of palm oil to be used as coatings raw material such as alkyd is limited due to low unsaturated side on fatty acid chains. To overcome this limitation, palm oil was modified through transesterification process to produce polyol. Acrylated isocyanate (urethane oligomer) was then grafted onto polyol to produce polyurethane with vinylic ends. The polyurethane was formulated with different cross-linkers (reactive diluents) and cured under UV radiation. The effect of three different diluents; monoacrylate, diacrylate and triacrylate on the properties of cured polymer were studied in this research. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Hydroxyl Value Titration, Gel Content, and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) were used for characterization. Physical testing performed were Pencil Hardness and Pull-Off Adhesion test. Novel palm oil-based polyurethane coatings have been found to have good properties with mono acrylate functionality.

An evaluation of a small-scale biodiesel production technology: Case study of Mango’o village, Center province, Cameroon

It is an undeniable fact that isolated areas lack sufficient energy resources and that energy supply is central in order to achieve sustainable development goals. On the other hand, agricultural materials, whose trade profit fluctuates in low levels, are produced locally in wide range. As a result, the implementation of an alternative, more effective approach, which ensures the sustainability in social, economical and environmental dimension, is a crucial issue for developing countries. In this particular study, in order to cover the local energy needs, the possibility of installing a small biodiesel plant in a rural area of Cameroon, has been analyzed. The final biodiesel product can also be disposed directly to the market leading to an additional local income. In this paper, both the monthly potential of palm oil in Mango’o region and the recommended biodiesel production process are presented. Some significant benefits that can be achieved are independence from fossil fuels, mechanization of palm oil production process and additional prevention of local depopulation.

The Potential of Palm Oil as a Motor Fuel

ABSTRACT PALM oils can be substituted for petroleum fuels in diesel engines but pose flow and atomization problems because of high viscosity and the tendency to solidify at intermediate and low temperatures. This study details production and energy-balance characteristics of the oil palm system, and provides information on the physical and chemical nature of palm oils and their derivatives. Tests of these oils, palm/diesel mixtures and palm oil esters as diesel engine fuels indicated generally satisfactory performance, although efficiencies were in most cases slightly less than with conventional diesel fuel.
