Abstract
The ever increasing concern over the contamination of ground water and the high cost of clean up from hydraulic fluid spill and oil disposals has resulted in the need to establish an accepted biodegradable hydraulic fluid for use in industrial and in mobile applications. Leakage used to be an accepted part of using hydraulics and was generally ignore. Now there is growing awareness that hydraulic into water wetlands and other sensitive areas can be environmentally damaging and the EPA and other regulatory bodies are cracking down on the offenders. This paper starts with a discussion on definition of biodegradable oil and the labels given to biodegradable oils. The problems with conventional mineral oils are mentioned in several places in the paper. Then the paper outlines the characteristics of various vegetable oils that have been studied as future biodegradable hydraulic oil. It tabled the characteristics of rapeseed olive sunflower linseed soybean and palm oil. Acidity method is described and the oil oxidation phenomena is explained.
