Introduction Used motor oil can be considered as an integral part of mechanisms and structural materials. At the end of service life, a significant amount of waste lubricants are produced, which are currently one of the main types of technogenic wastes that have a very negative impact on the environment – atmosphere, soil, and water.

Waste and Cost Reduction by Reprocessing Used Motor Oil into a Synthetic Diesel Fuel Dr. Kevin Shurtleff, Austin Bettridge, Kyle Sweetman, Mung Nam Ng, Ryan Bernal Utah Valley University, College of Science, Department of Chemistry *Correspondence author: kshurtleff@uvu.edu, 801-360-0799 Waste Motor Oil (WMO) Utah Valley University (UVU) has an abundance of waste motor oil (WMO) [...]
Oil lasts for thousands of years. Once it is refined and used in our vehicles only to be discarded 3,000 miles later, it is still in a form that will keep for many years. The same technology however that distills motor oil from crude oil is essentially the same technology that distills used oil into [...]
Abstract The refining of lubricating oils from waste lubricating oil was examined utilizing a novel blend of solvent extraction and activated alumina adsorbent. The activity of these solvent extraction blends {toluene, butanol and methanol (A)}, {toluene, butanol and ethanol (B)} and {toluene, butanol and isopropanol (C)} was evaluated experimentally, oil to solvent proportions from 1:1 [...]
Motor oil Oil being drained from an automobile Recycled motor oil can be combusted as fuel, usually in plant boilers, space heaters, or industrial heating applications such as blast furnaces and cement kilns. When used motor oil is burned as fuel it must be burned at high temperatures to avoid gaseous pollution. Alternatively, waste motor [...]
What do you do with your used motor oil? If you have ever changed your own oil, you know that it’s important to recycle or dispose of it properly. Here are some tips for handling and getting rid of the used oil after you pour in the new. Capturing your used motor oil Let’s start [...]
What happens to your recycled used oil? Used oil, or 'sump oil' as it is sometimes called, should not be thrown away. Although it gets dirty, used oil can be cleaned of contaminants so it can be recycled again and again. There are many uses for recycled used oil. These include: Industrial burner oil, [...]
No 1:What is a VRU,and How Does a Vapor Recovery Unit Work In the downstream segment of oil and gas operations, it is critical to eliminate harmful vapors with potentially toxic and explosive properties from gasoline and other fuel types before the products are sold. Vapor recovery is particularly crucial as hydrocarbon storage containers [...]
Alternative mineral fuel was obtained from recycled automotive lubricating oil. Tests were carried out with a distillate fuel oil and alternative fuel for comparison. Fuel consumption, combustion properties, and emissions were monitored during the tests. Engine efficiency was improved and the smoke level was reduced by adjusting the injection timing. The waste oil seems to [...]
No 1:The Profit of Waste Oil Recycling As the above picture showed,The ideal treatment for waste engine oil is to refine diesel oil from used engine oil, then how about the profit of recycling one ton of used engine oil and how much we can earn? Operating costs RMB/Day Based on 10tons equipment Waste oil 10tons [...]
