access XXXIII, 98 p. 36 illus., 32 illus. in color. online resource. This is a book about biolubricants. It provides a general overview of these useful products, paying attention to their contribution to green and sustainable chemistry or the circular economy through the implementation of biorefineries. But also, it is a book about General Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, etc., as this specific subject could act as a cornerstone for many multidisciplinary fields. The book’s chapters include several exercises and questions to track reader’s learning and give general and specific idea of how biolubricants are not just a promising research topic, but also a practical reality. The main ideas covered in this work are the following: history, origin and use of biolubricants, main chemical routes to produce them and their quality assessment. Introduction: History of lubrication and why we need biolubricants -- Advantages and disadvantages (or challenges) of biolubricants -- Main raw materials, and the role of waste cooking oil -- Chemical routes to produce biolubricants. The role of biorefineries -- Biolubricant characterization. What is important to consider our product a good biolubricant? How do we measure it? -- Uses of biolubricants -- Cuƫng edge research about biolubricants -- Conclusions and outlook. by Sergio Nogales Delgado, Carmen María Álvez Medina, Juan Félix González González.
