Preface
This work reviews effective environmental impact mitigation for petroleum-based lubricants to reduce their negative persistence during usage and upon end-of-life disposal. The book explores the basic tribology of lubricants as well as initiatives that may enhance the environmental and economic effectiveness of lubricating oils from the composition design perspective. Reference is made to mineral base oil processing, blending, application and disposal of petroleum lubricants, and the book presents and extends current best practices that minimize or eliminate adverse environmental impact throughout the product’s life cycle. The book also presents some in-depth insight into base oil/additive substitution, use of biolu bricants in total loss application which are biodegradable, consideration of synthetic lubricants to extend drainage interval, use of quality bases in Group III and G
