Anti-Oxidant Property Of Eichhornia Crassipes In Oil Samples

Abstract

This study on Eichhornia Crassipes focus on its advantageous contribution to oil sample protection through its anti-oxidant and anti-corrosion properties. It was discovered to possess antioxidant constituents of phospholipid with strong structure of amphipathic molecules with much of hydrophobic strength. Eichhornia Crassipes contain triglycerides known as lutein, lycopene, α-Tocopherol, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin which help in protecting lubricants against oxidation, corrosion, thermolysis and hydrolysis. These good potential helps in neutralizing acids also the chitins potential found at the root region of the plant, serves as destroyer for some dangerous contaminants in the lubricant. This function as a key quid in extending the life span of an oil lubricant degradation from occurring. However, the antioxidants still deplete in the process as a result of vigorous reactions to the formation of some acids in the system.

A Review on Bio-Lubricants as an Alternative Green Product:Tribological Performance, Mechanism, Challenges and Future Opportunities

“…Some important factors from massive availability of vegetable lubricant for industrial production are as follows. i. Hydrolytic properties and Poor low temperature: Vegetable lubricants are obviously more prone to hydrolytic breakdown when they contain a high ester group content [109]. As a result, it was important to stay away from pollutants during preparations, like water that was an emulsion.…”
