Summary: | Increased severity in operating conditions coupled with the environmental and toxicity issues related with using conventional lubricants. In addition, high price of fossil fuels has led to exploration of new kind natural additives as bio-lubricant. Banana Peel as
agricultural wastes are potential to be developed as bio-oils that to replace the petroleum products, due to their environmentally friendly characteristics, biodegradable, nontoxic and renewable. The purpose of this study is to produce lubricant oil from Banana Peel
(BP) as bio additives in paraffin oil, as well as to determine their physical and tribological properties as bio-lubricant under severe operation conditions to identify their ability for lubricants. Tribological performance of Banana Peel (BP) as a biolubricant was tested using four-ball test machined under extreme pressure conditions, according to ASTM D 2783-03. Experimental results showed significant improvement in overall performance with increased BP content compared with paraffin oil (PO) through Coefficient of Friction parameter (COF) at 100 ˚C, lower value of COF which 0.086 for 50 %BP followed by 20% BP, 5% BP and 100 %PO at values 0.089, 0.456 and 0.595 respectively. As results, banana peel as Extreme Pressure and Anti-Wear additives has been proven itself able for use in lubrication applications for gear and engine oils. |
