Overview

Analysis demonstrates effective biofuel production from coconut and waste cooking oils, indicating potential for lubricants.

Key Points

  • Transesterification of both coconut oil and waste cooking oil produced promising biofuels and lubricants.
  • Characterization was done using infrared analysis and gas chromatography, revealing key attributes.
  • The lubricant performance was tested using a ball-on-plane tribometer, showing effective friction reduction.
  • Graphite particles as additives enhanced the tribological performances of both oils in the formulation processes.
