Carbon Dioxide Based Metal Working Fluids

[607213]海斯本研究的目标是开发设计超临界二氧化碳（ScCO2）环境友好型金属加工液所需的基础知识基础。提出用二氧化碳基金属加工液替代水基金属加工液。根据初步工作，二氧化碳金属加工液有望减少对环境的影响，并改善冷却剂和润滑特性。这项工作将促进对超临界流体及其在散装和边界润滑剂中的溶剂化特性的基本理解。开发一种植物油- scco2金属加工液来取代传统的矿物油-水，将产生一种100%不含石油和水的“绿色”材料。这些知识将允许选择适当的组件和必要的过程操作条件，以在汽车，医疗和航空航天工业中使用流体。这些环境友好型金属加工液的开发将提高生产率，同时消除实质性的健康风险和水废物。金属加工行业在美国经济中占有超过10亿美元的份额，每年产生超过20亿加仑的金属加工废液。

The carbon dioxide based metalworking fluids are proposed as replacements for aqueous-based metalworking fluids. Based on preliminary work, the carbon dioxide metalworking fluids promise to have less environmental impact as well as improved coolant and lubrication characteristics. This work will advance the fundamental understanding of supercritical fluids and their solvation properties in uses with bulk and boundary lubricants. The development of a vegetable oil-in-ScCO2 metalworking fluid to replace the traditional mineral oil-in-water will result in a "green" material that is 100% petroleum- and water-free. This knowledge will allow selection of the proper components and process operating conditions necessary to use the fluids in the automotive, medical, and aerospace industries. The development of these environmentally benign metalworking fluids will enhance productivity while eliminating substantial health risks and aqueous wastes. The metalworking industry represents a greater than $1 billion sector of the United States economy and creates over two billion gallons of aqueous metalworking fluid waste each year.
