“…Feedstock usually used for producing biolubricants is vegetable oils (VOs), as they are the most convenient raw materials available. Chemically, VOs are natural oils that comprise triglycerides, esters of glycerol, and three straight‐chained fatty acids 6,23,24 . Fatty acids from VOs are mostly in the category of C 12 ‐C 24 .…”

“…In the review report of Wickramasinghe et al, 23 they investigated the sustainable machine applications of green metalworking fluids (biolubricants) and how to improve their unfavourable drawbacks for lubricant use. Furthermore, Almasi et al, 24 covered the aspects of biolubricant production solely from non‐edible oil‐bearing biomass resources in Iran. Ailanthus, camelina, algae, castor, jatropha, bitter almond, and waste fish oil feedstock were thoroughly captured.…”

Summary The growing concern and limitations for existing lubricants have driven the need for biolubricants, extensively proposed as the most suitable and sustainable lubricating oils. Biolubricants are generally synthesized from various bio‐based sources, including vegetable oils, microbially derived oils, waste cooking oil, etc. They are promising commodities and advantageous to mineral‐based analogues due to their exceptional properties like their lubricity, biodegradability, reduced toxicity, and reduced volatility. Yet, their utilization as lubricants is constrained due to their relatively poor cold‐flow and thermo‐oxidative stability uncertainties even after being chemically modified. Hence, many chemical modification pathways have been reported to overcome this limitation, with the most exploited approaches being esterification and transesterification. This modification pathway enhanced the thermo‐oxidative stability and the cold‐flow properties of these bio‐based oils, increased the yield, and enhanced the quality of the lubricants. With this in mind, this paper reviews up‐to‐date works conducted in this area and critically report the advancement in esterification and transesterification production of biolubricants. The study further reviews the latest published literature, current updates, and future perspectives related to the synthesis of biolubricants. Also, the review highlights the significant factors that govern the entire reaction process, selection criteria of renewable feedstocks, and the tribological performance of biolubricants.

“…Table 1 highlights some of the review articles that have been published in the last 5 years that discuss the potential of plantbased oils as an alternative in the production of lubricants for numerous industrial applications. Various biolubricant feedstocks have been discussed including specifically from vegetable oils (Masripan et al, 2020;Owuna, 2020;Wang X et al, 2020;Rasep et al, 2021) and nonedible oils (Singh et al, 2017;Singh et al, 2019;Almasi et al, 2021). Recently, Owuna et al (2020) presented a short review on the use of TMPE as biolubricants.…”

Biodegradable lubricants from renewable feedstocks have been successfully developed to meet the demands of new machines with stringent requirements of the global standards, which address sustainability and environmental policy. Trimethylolpropane ester (TMPE) has been extensively evaluated as a biolubricant base stock and occasionally used as an additive, due to their low toxicity and excellent biodegradability. The formulation of high-performance TMPE-based lubricants involves addition of surface additives, multifunctional additives, and solid nano particles. This review focuses on the development of plant-based TMPE formulation for various applications, namely food-grade lubricant, engine oil, drilling fluid, insulating fluid, metal working fluid, hydraulic and heat transfer fluids. Even though plant-based TMPE lubricants have huge advantages over mineral oils, they have other challenging issues such as limited load-bearing capacity, hygroscopic properties, and high risk of toxic emission owing to additives selection. The details on the performance characteristics of TMPE as base stocks and additives are discussed, including the current prospects and challenges in the respective areas. This review concludes with a brief discussion on suggestions and recommendations for future advancement in the usage of TMPE and the remaining issues that must be overcome to allow for its full potential to be realized.
