The present invention is generally directed to triester-based lubricant compositions. The present invention is also directed to methods of making these and other similar lubricant compositions. In some embodiments, the methods for making such triester-based lubricants utilize a biomass precursor and/or low value Fischer-Tropsch (FT) products (e.g., alcohols) so as to produce high value triester-based lubricants. In some embodiments, such triester-based lubricants are derived, at least in part, from FT alcohols and fatty acids. The fatty acids can be from a bio-based source (i.e., biomass, renewable source) or can be derived from FT alcohols via oxidation.
本发明通常涉及三酯基润滑剂组成。本发明还涉及制备这些和其他类似润滑剂组成的方法。在某些实施例中,制备这种三酯基润滑剂的方法利用
生物质前体和/或低价值的费托合成(FT)产物(例如,醇)以产生高价值的三酯基润滑剂。在某些实施例中,这种三酯基润滑剂至少部分来源于FT醇和
脂肪酸。
脂肪酸可以来自
生物质源(即,
生物质,可再生源)或可以通过氧化从FT醇中衍生。
