Appraisal Of Esters Of Non-Edible Oils For Synthetic Mud Formulation [ ]


SBM is highly dispersible and biodegradable unlike WBM and OBM whose use somewhat endangers the biosphere. Oils from edible seeds have been a major source of SBM's base fluid (biodiesel). This threatens food's demand and supply as human population is not commensurate with investment or interest in agriculture. Edible oils are expensive to non-edible oils. This research is to appraise SBM from esters of non-edible oils.
