RECYCLE WASTE BLACK OIL USING ACID AND CLAY
(CODE NO. 2014)
Re-refining of used oils is now accepted and recognised as a legitimate source of supplementing petroleum oils. Prior to the escalation of oil prices, petroleum lubricants and other industrial oils were very cheap and their conservation and saving was not economically attractive. Users did not care to recovery and preserve used oils, which were allowed to be lost or were disposed of by easiest possible means. Rise in Oil prices has compelled the users firstly to economise the use of oils and secondly to recover, grade and store the used oils. Attractive prices and ready acceptability have given a boost to this industry.
The current production of re-refined oils in the country is around 30,000 tonnes per year. This is hardly five per cent of the oil consumed, therest 95 percent is lost. In most of the applications, lubricants only degrade and are not destroyed. Around 10 lakh tonnes/year of oils are therefore lost in the environment, and pollute ground and water. This therefore, requires and urgent look into the design of machines, and machine lubrication systems. The design criterion is required to be changed from used lubricant drain out to preservation and collection.
Contaminants is a used oiled may be divided into two classes.
1. Products resulting from chemical action, within the system i.e. mainly by products of combustion.
2. Foreign materials which enter the system.
Products resulting from chemical action with in the system are as follows :
i) Carbon and other products of decomposition of oil or of incomplete combustion of fuel.
ii) Oxidation products (which may be either soluble or insoluble in the oil) due to chemical action at high temperatures.
iii) Gummy products both soluble and in soluble resulting from polymerization (combining ) of unsaturated components in the oil.
iv) Sulphur compounds :-
Formed by sulphur in the oil or fuel foreign material may include some of the following :
(a) Dirt and dust from the air.
(b) Metal particles resulting from wear of operating parts of the machine, or left over from machining operation during on overhaul.
(c) Foundary cores and from castings.
(d) Water condensed from air moisture or products of fuel combustion, and
(e) Fuel dilution.
