THE USE OF BIOLOGICAL LUBRICANTS

Abstract

This article discusses the relevance of using biological lubricants. It has been established that waste oils have a detrimental impact on the environment and humans in general. Hydraulic oil leaks cause significant environmental damage. Biohydraulic oils minimize the risk of environmental damage due to their biodegradability and non-toxicity. Vegetable oils have superior lubricating properties to petroleum oils. Biological lubricants are an alternative to traditional petroleum-based lubricants; they are non-toxic, completely biodegradable, and possess excellent lubricating properties. The advantages of biological lubricants over traditional (mineral) oils are highlighted. The impact of biodegradable lubricants on the environment is discussed. The prospects for biological lubricants are projected. Technologies used to improve biological lubricants are considered. Despite the significant advantages of biological lubricants, they also have certain disadvantages. The disposal of used oils is an important task in the context of environmental conservation and sustainable development.
