Applicability of Waste Engine Oil for the Direct Production of Electricity

New methods for the use of waste products as input other technologies are a constant subject research efforts. One such product is engine oil. Due to constantly increasing number motor vehicles in world, recycling or application oils energy production purposes currently considerable importance. This paper contains regarding analysis electro-oxidation potential oil, and thus possibility using oil material fuel cells. The demonstrates basic this emulsion on platinum electrode an acid electrolyte (aqueous solution H2SO4). It was shown that temperature range 20–80 °C, occurred all concentrations (0.005%, 0.010%, 0.030%, 0.060% reactor volume). maximum current density obtained measurements 21 mA·cm−2 at 60 °C (0.030% 0.5 M electrolyte). Although value small, it encourages further used direct generation electricity.
