ABSTRACT Worldwide, 12 million tonnes per year of lubricants are disposed in the environment through leakages, exhausted gas, incorrect disposal, water–oil emulsions and so on. Some resistant to biodegradation, representing an environmental threat. One solution modify this situation is replacement mineral oils by biodegradable synthetic lubricants. Esters, whose chemical structures similar natural triglycerides, excellent substitutes for oils. Castor oil contains around 90% ricinoleic acid,...
