A Brief Discussion on Waste Engine Oil

If you are one of those people who change their motor oil on your own, you need to know how to properly manage the used oil. After all, used oil from one oil change can pollute one million gallons of fresh water — a years’ supply for several people, at least 50! There are so many companies that change plastic to fuels. When managing used oil, do not forget to take these integral points into deliberation:

  • Already used motor oil is not soluble, persistent, and can consist of lethal chemicals and heavy metals.
  • It’s slow to vitiate.
  • Varying from beach sand to bird feathers, it tends to twigs to everything.
  • It’s a chief source of oil adulteration of waterways and can result in contamination of drinking water sources.

Usually recycling of waste engine oil is done to convert it into reusable product, diesel fuel. The waste oil was treated by using pyrolytic distillation. The consequence of two additives that are- sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate in the decontamination of the gotten fuel was also analysed. Additionally, the effect of the number of distillations were examined. Some thermal and physicochemical properties (density, viscosity, colour, turbidity, acidity value, distillation curves, cetane number, and corrosiveness to Cu, water content, flash point and hydrocarbons) were decided to assess the quality of the gotten fuel. The best outcomes were gained with 2% of sodium carbonate and two successive distillations. The found results reflected that pyrolytic distillation of waste engine oil is an incredible way to harvest diesel fuel that can be used in engines.
