Surfactants and lubricants

Vegetable oils represent only 5% of the renewable resources available. Today, vegetable oils currently provide a marginal carbon feedstock contribution to the chemical industry in such applications as solvents, surfactants, and lubricants. Vegetable oils may, however, play a much more important role in the future. They are mixtures of fatty acid trigclycerides whose typical molecular structures are given in Figure 10.12.

Fatty alcohols and their derivatives are important in many industrial processes where thQ are used as raw materials for surfactants and lubricants. A fot alcohol is, in general defined as a monohydric aliphatic alcohol with six or more caibon atoms. The annual production of fotty alcohols is over 1 million metric tons. Commercially fotty alcohols are produced by one of three processes the Ziegler process, the Oxo process or ly a high pressure hydrogenation of fot acids or esters. The latter process is the only one process that uses renewable natural fots/oils whereas the two first processes utilize petrochemical... 

Hydroxy fatty acids are important industrial materials. These fatty acids are used as raw chemicals in plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricants (1). Some of the known hydroxy fatty acids also have interesting biological activities. Kato et al. (2) and other researchers (3-5) reported that hydroxy fatty acids have antifungal activity. A few hydroxy fatty acids also exhibit cytotoxic activity against cancer cells (6,7) and prostaglandin E-like activity (8).
