GC-MS analysis
The chemical composition of bio-lubricants was analyzed using an Agilent Technologies 7890A
Gas Chromatograph (GC) System outfitted with a 7683B Series Injector and 5975C Inert Mass
Selective Detector (MSD) with Triple-Axis Detector. The GC-MS was equipped with 30 m x 250
µm x 0.25 µm DB-1701 Column. An estimated 20 mg of each sample into a clean vial and diluting
each sample with dichloromethane (DCM) until each diluted sample contained nearly 2 wt. % BL.
The filled vial was then loaded into an auto sampler and injected using a 10 µL syringe into the
GC System. The GC oven was programmed to heat to an initial temperature of Ti=50°C and hold
for 2 min before being heated at a heating rate of HR=5°C/min to a final temperature of 280°C and
holding time of 15 min, unless specified otherwise.
