In this study, the conventional acid-clay method was used to evaluate its potential for recycling waste crankcase lubricating oil (WCLO). The results showed that effective in re-refining WCLO and returning a quality comparable oils produced from fresh lube stocks. This has been reported account around 90% of global treatment is considered be an inexpensive process. revealed improved viscosity a...

I would love a microbicide gel. But right now, even cheap water-based lubes are simply NOT available in many settings. So what would be the case with a specially formulated gel? Of course, something to consider is that in some of our countries, something that “promotes homosexuality” like a rectal microbicide for anal sex, God forbid, might be banned before it is even actually produced! But, th...

SAPO-11 is synthesized from silicoaluminophosphate in the presence of di-n-propylamine as a template. The results show that sample obtained has good crystallinity, 396m2/g BET surface area, and 0.35 cm3/g pore volume. hydroisomerization activity (0.25)Pt (1)Zr (0.5)W/SAPO-11 catalyst was determined using n-decane base oil. All experiments were achieved at fixed bed plug flow reactor temperature...

Replacing R-22 by HFC refrigerants in stationary air conditioners is forcing oil producers to develop a new lubricant which has good miscibility with HFC, lubricity and electric resistivity. Mitsui has selected a carbonate compound for a new lubricant candidate with HFC and developed it forcusing on its thermal stability, which is one of the most important factors to get good lubricity. By supp...

Predictive or condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a systematic approach for monitoring the actual working condition of equipment to decide what actions are needed maintaining and extending active life. helps in reducing unplanned downtime. By measuring only vibrations it quite difficult monitor wear state, hence recent times, oil analysis has become one popular ways monitoring. Condition using...

Plant productivity is limited by salinity stress, both in natural and agricultural systems. Identification of salt stress-related genes from halophyte can provide insights into mechanisms of salt stress tolerance in plants. Atriplex canescens is a xero-halophyte that exhibits optimum growth in the presence of 400 mM NaCl. A cDNA library derived from highly salt-treated A. canescens plants was c...
