The Re-refining of Used Lubricating Oils
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Re-refined lubricants have been produced in New Zealand for over 50 years. However, their acceptance as a high quality lubricant has been a gradual process, largely because of the scepticism of the public that the product can be re-refined to its original condition. In New Zealand Dominion Oil rerefines about 7 million litres per year, while an older acid clay method is used at Turua near Thames to treat 0.5 1 milion litres per year.

Comparative Study between Physical Properties of Virgin Oil and Re-Refining Oil
The lubricating oils are essential for operating engine with high efficiency. Therefore, the physical properties of oil such as flash point, pour point, kinematic viscosity, specific gravity and the American Petroleum Institute are necessary to be studied to indicate good quality of the lubricating oil. In this study, we compare the physical properties of two virgin oils with re-refining oil. T...
متن کاملRe-refining of Waste Oil - Solvent Is Used in Treatment/Distillation Process
WASTE OIL RECOVERY. Prior to 1960, a significant portion of the demand for automotive lubricating oil was met by re-relined used oil. At the time, 150 re-refineries produced 300 million gal of motor oil annually. Since 1960, however, the production of re-refined oil has steadily declined. In 1981, for example, out of about 1.2 billion gal of automobile lubricating oil and 1.6 billion gal of ind...
متن کاملRecycling process of spent bleaching clay: Optimization by response surface methodology
Oil refining is an inevitable step in production of edible and industrial oil. Bleaching is the most important process among the refining processes. Bleaching adsorption is the most common method and clay is the most widely used adsorbent in this method. Disposal of bleaching clay, as a waste from re-refining plants, makes many environmental problems and economic losses. In the current study, t...
متن کاملThe Effects of Refining Operations on Quality and Quantity of Sterols in Canola, Soyabean and Sunflower Seed Oils
Sterols due to their properties might be considered as valuable products to be employed in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Vegetable oils, namely canola, soyabean and sunflower seed oils, contain considerable quantities of phytosterols, mainly β–sitosterol. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of refining operations, particularly deodorization on this valuable class...
متن کاملPetroleum-derived spray oils: chemistry, history, refining and formulation
Modern use of petroleum-derived oils as agricultural crop protectants dates back to the 1800s, but it was not until the latter half of the 20th century that advances in petroleum chemistry allowed substantial modification and diversification in their commercial applicability. In the 1880s, a kerosene–soap emulsion was used with some success against scales and aphids in citrus trees. The search ...
