Abstract

In this work rice oil was tested when it is dripped onto a high temperature surface. The tests conducted determined the lowest temperature at which rice oil ignited and the highest temperature at which rice oil did not ignite in three tests conducted at the same temperature. The results of this study show that the values of the evaluated temperatures are of major importance regarding the use of rice oil as an eco-friendly lubricant. Thus, the highest temperature at which rice oil did not ignites is 465 °C, while the lowest temperature at which rice oil ignited is 470 °C. Moreover, at the end of the 8 tests performed, part of the oils collected in the tray of the installations used in the present study were subjected to spectrophotometric tests. Based on the obtained data, the transmittance spectra were plotted and the trichromatic components and coordinates were calculated, as well as the colour differences of the tested oils.
