Collaborative project: Potential of algae-based biolubricant additives: extraction, application and technical properties - from the plant to the technical product (algaebased)
Project
Project code: 22025318
Contract period: 01.04.2019
- 31.03.2022
Budget: 147,717 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: bio-based lubricant additives, renewable ressources
The overall objective of the project is the substitution of mineral oil-based lubricant additives with algae born constituents. The project aims to identify ingredients from algae, proof and demonstrate their potential for the use as lubricant additives in machining applications. The opportunities of this approach are mineral oil-reduced lubricant application, significant resource conservation and avoidance of the food or fuel conflict. Subproject P3 "Chemical structure determination" develops the process steps for obtaining the additives to be extracted from the raw material. In addition, the additives are identified and further characterized by instrumental analysis in order to ensure a sufficient purity of the additives for the desired applications taking the future production costs into account. The measuring methods used are GC-MS, HPLC-MS and GPC. In part, these investigations are performed by external contracting.
