Conversion of lipid into high-viscosity branched bio-lubricant base oil
Shuang Chen, Tingting Wu, Chen Zhao
Abstract
To produce high-quality bio-lubricant, we reported a novel approach using lipids as a raw material, the process involved selective hydrogenation to fatty alcohols, dehydration of fatty alcohols to α-olefins, coupled polymerization–hydrogenation reactions.
