Tribological property evaluation, optimization and performance of waste sunflower oil based green cutting fluid with silicon dioxide nanoparticles as additive

Mineral oil-based cutting fluids are hazardous and non-biodegradable, and their widespread usage has had a terrible effect on the environment and living things. The creation of a novel, ecologically sustainable cutting fluid technology is essential to avoid the above crisis. Commercial mineral oil alternatives are considered to possess identical lubricating properties as vegetable oils. Most vegetable oils are edible, so waste-cooking sunflower oil (WSO) is selected from this group to serve as the base stock for the green cutting fluid. The green cutting fluid is created using silicon dioxide nanoparticles as an additive and food-grade emulsifiers like Tween 80 and Span 80. According to the experimental findings, 0.05 weight percent silicon dioxide nanoparticles in the green cutting fluid performed better on a pin-on-disc tribometer

Feasibility study on formulation of cutting fluid from waste palm oil

From an industrial, environmental, and scientific standpoint, the creation of renewable and sustainable products to replace fossil fuels is an important concern in this decade. Due to the growing use of different lubricant types, the majority of which are mineral-based, there is an unavoidable flow of mineral-based lubricants into the environment. Another issue is using cooking oil that pollutes the environment when discarded. Both of these issues can be resolved by creating bio-based lubricants from discarded cooking oil. This article discusses formulating a green cutting fluid made from used cooking oil. This enables the use of waste oil as a cutting fluid while retaining its tribological and environmental characteristics. In order to compete in the market, biodegradable cutting fluid might gain from decreased costs for used natural oils. The many components and trends that make up this topic are briefly covered in this article, along with waste cooking oils’ potential application as a bio-based lubricant
