-
This study produced bio-lubricant with palm kernel oil and compared its quality with Tonimas Oil ( A commercial lubricating oil in the market). Palm kernel oil based lubricant was produced by dissolving 12.5ml of Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate and 47.5ml of Ethylene propylene into 400ml of PKO and stiring them together to achieve a homogeneous mixture. The quality of the lubricant produced was compared with Tonimas oil using the following parameter; kinematic viscosity at 40oc and 100oc, specific gravity at 15oc and flash point. Result of the tests carried out showed that the PKO based oil has KV at 100oc and 40 oc of 11.6cst and 128.00cst respectively, Specific Gravity at 15 oc of 0.8817 and flash point of 242 oc while Tonimas Oil has KV at 100 oc and 40oc of 12.06cst and 131.00cst respectively, Specific Gravity at 15 oc of 0.8985 and flash point of 262 oc. Comparison with Tonimas Oil showed that Tonimas Oil has better properties, However the tested quality parameters of the PKO based oil lie within the acceptable standard for lubricating oils by ISO.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]However, the applicability of vegetable oils in lubrication is partly
limited as this oil tends to show low oxidative stability and higher
melting points. Production of vegetable oils is an attractive way of
solving these problems (Meier, Mertzger and Schubert 2007) vegetable oil
include groundnut oil, palm kernel oil, castor oil, palm oil, coconut
oil etc. Palm kernel oil (one of the vegetable oils) is an
edible plant oil, from kernel seed (Elaesis guineensis), (Kwasi, ... Continue reading---
