Abstract

This study is related to producing a set of fatty acid esters from different vegetable oils and C1–C12 alcohols. A total of 66 products were synthesized. The obtained esters were characterized by fatty acid composition, density, viscosity, saponification value, acid value, iodine value, low-temperature properties, and oxidative stability. It was established that the fatty acid composition, as well as alcohol, used has a significant impact on esters properties. Comparing physicochemical properties of fatty acid esters with existing standards and specifications, it was proposed to use esters for different industrial applications. In particular, rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl esters are an ideal candidate for application as biodiesel, while transesterification of soybean oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, and coconut oil with higher alcohols led to products with promising properties as bio-lubricants. Castor oil alkyl esters could potentially be utilized as base oils due to their excellent viscosity and low-temperature properties.
