BIOLUBRICANT FROM BANANA PEEL WASTES

Judul : Biolubricant From Banana Peel Wastes ISBN : 978-967-2454-28-1 Penulis : Husna A. Hamid Banana offers great sources of nutrients and fibers. It is eaten either fresh or used as a food ingredient. Banana peel, which known as a waste shown to have a potential sources of plant oils to developed as bio-lubricant application due to slippery effect. Limited scientific evidences are available on banana peels and it have not been given great attention by the people. This book is aimed to discuss the oil extraction form banana peel waste of Musa Aliminata Balbisiana (MBS), to characterize the physical, physio chemical properties, chemical compositional and functional group analysis, fatty acids profile and wettability analysis of the oil, to investigate the tribological behavioural of MBS Oil, to investigate the effect of biodegradable additive of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) on tribological performance of MBS oil, to analyze the predominant wear mechanism of MBS Oil under wet sliding condition and to formulate a mathematical equation for friction and wear of MBS Oil with the presence of EC and EVA using Analysis of Variance, ANOVA.
