Local Kaolinite Clay Efficacy as Adsorbent for Spent Oil Treatment
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering
Abstract
Disposed motor vehicle engine oil is an environmentally harmful waste according to Government regulations. This research evaluated the recycling of Spent Lubricating Oil to New Lubricating Oil using Adsorption technique. The processes include Pounding and Sieving of Kaolin, Impregnation, Neutralization, Drying and Activation and Adsorption. The regeneration investigation result showed changes in the color and metal components of the Spent Lubricating Oil. There was a variance in the weight of the Adsorbent and highest weight gain experiment removed black color and changed the spent oil to brownish yellow which is similar to Fresh Oil that has crystal yellow color. UV- Spectrophotometer was used for the color analysis. The metal impurities observed were Cr, Pb, Ca, Mg and Fe. There was reduction in the metal concentration at all weight ranging from 5g, 10g and 15g. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer was used to analyze the Metal content.
