Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory develop eco-friendly ionic liquid-based lubricant additives for water turbines, reducing friction, wear, and meeting environmental standards.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed eco-friendly lubricant additives for water turbines that protect both equipment and the environment. These new ionic liquid-based additives reduce friction and equipment wear while meeting federal standards for environmental toxicity and biodegradability. The project builds on 20 years of research into ionic liquids for improving lubricant performance.
