Biolubricants synthesis from oil/fat ozonized-derived products

Abstract

Methods for making diverse high-quality biolubricants using carboxylic acid and dicarboxylic acids produced from ozone cracking of lipids. The method can include reacting a fatty acid with one or more alcohols, diols, and/or triols to esterify the fatty acid to form esters having a viscosity index of from 100 to 185, according to ASTM-D2270. The methods can also include reacting a carboxylic acid and/or dicarboxylic acid with one or more alcohols, diols, and/or triols to esterify the acid to form one or more diesters and/or oligoesters having a viscosity index of from 100 to 185, according to ASTM D 2270. The carboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids can be nonanoic acid, malonic acid, propanoic acid, hexanoic acid, and azelaic acid, and can be derived from oxidation of one or more lipids by ozone cracking.
