Implication

This study evaluates biolubricant base oils from sunflower oil via transesterification using Ca/TEA alkoxide catalyst, showing improved properties under various conditions.

Key Points

The optimal concentration of Ca/TEA alkoxide catalyst for biolubricant synthesis was found to be 3.0% wt. under iso-octane.
Kinematic viscosities of the synthesized biolubricant esters ranged from 33–48 cSt at 40 °C and 7.68–10.03 cSt at 100 °C.
The performance characteristics of the esters compared favorably to mineral oils, highlighting superior oxidation stability.
Transesterification reactions utilized both Ca/TEA alkoxide and sodium methoxide to analyze effectiveness across various configurations.
