Abstract
The aim of this research project was to produce bio-based lubricant from triacylglycerol of palm olein and jatropha oil. The process involves three steps of reactions; epoxidation, oxirane ring opening, and followed by alkoxylation. For the epoxidation, the base oil was reacted with peracetic acid generated for safety seasons in situ by reacting acetic acid with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst.
