Synthesis of bio-lubricant from epoxy canola oil using sulfated Ti-SBA-15 catalyst

- A green one step process to prepare biolubricant from epoxy canola oil is presented.
- Sulfated Ti-SBA-15(10) demonstrated 100% conversion of epoxy canola oil.
- The energy of activation was found to be 19.0 kcal/mol.
- Prepared biolubricant has the excellent lubricating properties.
- Novel sulfated Ti-SBA-15(10) catalyst is reusable.
