Abstract

This study is to develop a new formulated bio-lubricant to address the depletion of crude oil, oil prices increment and the environmental pollution imposed by mineral based oil. Vegetable oil based lubricant has been discovered to be the alternative lubricant due to the properties of biodegradable, renewable, environmental friendly and non-toxic. The new formulated bio-lubricant will use 2 wt% concentration of Zinc Diprimary octyl dithiophosphate (ZnODDP) induced palm oil with addition of Molybdenum Dithiophospate (MoDTP) at concentration of 0.05 wt%. 0.1 0 wt%. 0.15 wt% and 0.20 wt% respectively. The samples were tested in accordance to the American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) method. ASTM 06595 was used in sample testing in determining the metal content of samples collected by Rotating Disc Electrode Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (RDE-AES). ASTM 04 712 was used in sample characterization to characterize the coefficient friction and wear scar diameter by four ball tester and upright laser microscope respectively. The lowest coefficient of friction was recorded at 0.074 while the lowest wear scar diameter obtained at 76.07 11m. Result found the desirable results recorded was at concentration of 2 wt% of ZnODPP and 0.05 wt% of MoDTP. In conclusion. the combination of ZnODDP and MoDTP induced into palm oil was successfully developed as newly formulated bio-lubricant.
