Used Lubricating Oil

Soil and surface water contamination by used lubricating oil is a common occurrence in most developing countries. This has been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and human beings at large. Bioremediation can be an alternative green technology for remediation of such hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Bioremediation of soil contaminated with 5% and 15% (w/w) used lubricating oil and amended with 10% brewery spent grain (BSG), banana skin (BS), and spent mushroom compost (SMC) was studied for a period of 84 days, under laboratory condition. At the end of 84 days, the highest percentage of oil biodegradation (92%) was recorded in soil contaminated with 5% used lubricating oil and amended with BSG, while only 55% of oil biodegradation was recorded in soil contaminated with 15% used lubricating oil and amended with BSG. Results of first-order kinetic model to determine the rate of biodegradation of used lubricating oil revealed that soil amended with BSG recorded the highest rate of oil biodegradation (0.4361 day−1) in 5% oil pollution, while BS amended soil recorded the highest rate of oil biodegradation (0.0556 day−1) in 15% oil pollution. The results of this study demonstrated the potential of BSG as a good substrate for enhanced remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil at low pollution concentration.

Oil In Water Emulsion

An experimental program assessed which mechanisms control the rapid biodegradation of used lubricating oil which contaminates soils. The ultimate goal is to effect a rapid biodegradation before the contaminants in the oil are leached into the groundwater or carried into surface waters with runoff. Large amounts of lubricating-oil-degrading bacteria could be grown in liquid culture, as long as a dispersant was applied to form and maintain an oil-in-water emulsion. Application of the oil-degrading bacteria (up to 4.9 × 108/g soil) significantly increased the initial rate of oil degradation in soil plots. However, the long-term rate of degradation slowed as the more available or more biodegradable components of the oil were removed. The fastest removal rates were obtained when the oil-contaminated soil was put into a water-soil slurry and was inoculated with microorganisms and dispersant. Improved microorganism contact and dispersant effectiveness apparently were responsible for the rapid rates in slurry reactors. The increased rates demonstrated the potential value of adding a large, acclimated inoculum and providing good mixing and dispersion to make the oil more available to the microorganisms.

This work investigated combustion performance of the premixed and diffusion burners by measuring flame temperature and gas emissions with used lubricating oil (ULO) and used cooking oil (UCO). Air–fuel ratio (AFR) is an important parameter to investigate combustion performance. Flame temperatures and gas emissions of the burners were examined to know the combustion behavior. The results found were that the flame temperatures in the premixed burner were higher than the diffusion burner at all the AFRs. The maximum flame temperature was obtained at AFR = 16 at all types of burners and fuel blending ratios. The highest flame temperature was [Formula: see text], which occurred when using 100% ULO with premixed burner at AFR = 16. By adding UCO into ULO, the flame temperatures can be decreased. The premixed burner produced 86.67% and 71.23% less CO and HC emissions, respectively, than the diffusion burner, in contrast, the premixed burner formed 26.31% and 54.7% higher [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] emissions, respectively, than the diffusion burner.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the antifriction and antiabrasive behavior of the used oil through the addition of a lubricant. Design/methodology/approach The author selected 85W-90 used oil with three kinds of 4,758, 10,507 and 16,223 km mileages, which may represent run-in wear period, steady-state wear period and rapid wear for used oil, respectively. Nano copper, molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) and copper dioctyl dithiocarbamate (CuDTC) of lubricant additive are added to the used oil to improve its antifriction performances and service life. The influence of lubricant additive on the tribological properties of used oil is investigated by the friction tests. Findings An abnormal phenomenon has been observed by the friction test under high mileage used oil with CuDTC in presence of MoDTC lubrication, and superlow friction coefficient of 0.04 has been achieved after a running-in period for the first time. It is found that CuDTC additive is beneficial to improve greatly the antifriction behavior of used oil, especially when MoDTC is present. The results indicate that the dissoluble of CuDTC and the tribochemical reaction of MoDTC play an important role in superlow friction of high mileage used oil. Moreover, the superlow friction is also closely related to the viscosity of used oil. Originality/value The possible mechanism of superlow friction is attributed to the additive thinning effect and the synergistic effect of the dissoluble of CuDTC and the tribochemical reaction of MoDTC binary lubricant additives in high mileage used oil. This work will extend the application of CuDTC additive widely and explore a new method to the reutilization and the life extension of used lubricating oil.
