Abstract

Abstract The production of biolubricants has gained growing interest due to their biodegradability and low toxicity, motivating the search for low-cost raw materials such as animal fats. This study investigated the synthesis of biolubricants from crude poultry oil, a residue of the poultry-processing industry. The raw material was characterized and conditioned through acid esterification and alkaline transesterification to obtain biodiesel with a low acid number (
