High oleic safflower oil as a feedstock for stable biodiesel and biolubricant production

Biodiesel and other derivative compounds which could act as biolubricants, can be a suitable alternative for petroleum products, are less sustainable harmful to the environment. However, especially when vegetable oils used raw materials (for instance Carthamus Tinctorius), these products show poor oxidative stabilities, depending on their fatty acid composition. Apart from adding antioxidants additives, good might use of genetically modified seeds facilitate high ratios stable acids like oleic acid. The aim this work was produce biodiesel biolubricant safflower through transesterification with methanol 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, respectively. efficiency processes quality characterization were assessed. As result, obtained (HOSBD) complied standard, stability value (8.2 h) not requiring any antioxidant addition. (HOSBL) showed higher (6.72 compared equivalents produced rapeseed (Brassica Napus) or cardoon (Cynara Cardunculus L.). Consequently, two bioproducts role composition material vital (oleic/linoleic ratio had strong influence stability). In that sense, avoid addition in implies cleaner more production.
