Abstract

The petroleum-based lubricants cause harmful effect on environment because they are non-degradable and highly toxic. The shortage of mineral oil reserves leads to finding an alternative for petroleum and its product. Existing studies include the development of a biolubricant from non-edible plant. The main purpose of this current study is to provide the collective summary of the recent use of inedible plant for the production of biolubricant. This study includes the review of latest published research literatures on use of different inedible plant oil for the production of biolubricant. These studies did not conclude that biolubricant obtained with the application of nanoparticles and modification has greater tribological properties together with thermal stability and oxidation stability. There is a need of production of a flexible environmental-friendly nanolubricant having excellent rheological, tribological properties and antioxidant properties which will be suitable in automotive application.
