“…Vegetable oils are mainly composed of triglycerides: three fatty acids (FA) linked by a glycerol. Compared to the long-chain hydrocarbons of mineral oils, which have between 20 and 50 carbon atoms, FAs have shorter chains of between 4 and 26 carbon atoms [37]. They may also contain one or more double bonds and branches.…”

“…A strong influence on the thermal properties was also observed at a content of less than 20%. Later, Contreras-Gallego [37] studied the variation in density and kinematic viscosity when the above bio-oil was added at 10% and 20% in four different mineral oils (SAE 5W-30, SAE 15W-40, SAE 25W-50, and SAE 40), as well as thermal conductivity and specific heat. An improvement in thermal properties associated with the increase in Jatropha oil was demonstrated.…”

The increase in the price of crude oil, the environmental impact, or the depletion of fossil resources has increased the need for bio-based alternatives. This has led to the search for renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly raw materials to obtain lubricants that meet these characteristics. This review deals with the state of the art of biolubricants along with their most common raw materials and molecular structures, processes of chemical modification of bio-oils, as well as the relationship between their structural features and physicochemical/tribological properties. This review concludes that the production of fatty acid alkyl esters from vegetable oils is the most promising chemical route to produce a wide range of biolubricants through double transesterification reactions. It also highlights the need to explore this route for the production of microalgae-derived biolubricants due to its environmental benefits during cultivation and production processes.
