Advances in Lubricant Additives

It is understood that hydrogen is going to be the future clean fuel, which can either be used in fuel cells or directly in engines. This will mean that there will be challenges to the lubricant developers to meet the requirements of new engines using hydrogen as fuel, where there would be no soot, no sulphur, and no carbon deposits from fuels. Lubricating base oil technology has changed during the last decade. API group III oils produced through hydro processes and GTL base oils are free from sulphur and nitrogen and have high viscosity index. Therefore the engine oil formulations would have to change considerably in the near future. The use of biodegradable lubricants mainly based on vegetable oils or genetically modified vegetable oils, would increase in the agricultural and forest sector. This book incorporates up-to-date information on these important subjects, which shall enable the readers to understand the dynamics of lubricant additive technology and tribology. The book will be useful to all those engaged in education and research in the field of lubricant additives and lubricants.

Dr S. P. Srivastava obtained his Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate Degrees (Chemistry), D.Phil from the University of Allahabad, India. He worked at CSIR Laboratories at Central Fuel Research Institute, Dhanbad, Jorhat and Regional Research Laboratory, Jorhat and R&D Center of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) at Faridabad, Haryana. He was also Director of Indian Oil Blending Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Indian Oil Corporation. He developed a range of Lubricants under the brand SERVO of IOC.He was the founder Secretary of the Indian Society of Analytical Scientists (Delhi) and organized series of seminars. He was further advisor of IBP and Balmer Lawrie R & D Center and Iftex oils and chemicals and currently he is independent consultant in the field of fuels and lubricants. Dr Srivastava has authored more than 200 research papers and 30 Indian and US patents. He has written three books: High Polymers" "Free Radicals" and "Modern Lubricant Technology".
