Summary:

This book, edited by Yashvir Singh, Nishant Kumar Singh, and Abhishek Sharma, explores the field of tribology with a focus on biolubricants as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based lubricants. It addresses the environmental concerns associated with mineral oils and presents vegetable oils as viable feedstocks for biolubricant production. The book discusses various aspects including the use of nonedible vegetable feedstocks, alternative fuels, and the applications of activated biochar in agriculture. It also covers the life cycle analysis of biolubricants and offers solutions to enhance their production. Aimed at researchers and industry professionals, the book provides comprehensive insights into sustainable practices in lubrication technology. Generated by AI.
