WASTE MINERAL OILS RE-REFINING WITH PHYSICOCHEMICAL METHODS

WASTE MINERAL OILS RE-REFINING WITH PHYSICOCHEMICAL METHODS

Refining of waste mineral oils is usually done by distillation or acid/clay methods, or a combination of both. In this study,waste oil refining was carried out in order to obtain higher efficiency than acid /clay method by using more environmentallyfriendly physicochemical methods which could be an alternative to acid /clay method and distillation methods. For thispurpose, demetalization and decolorization stages were applied in order. It was observed that the oils obtained hadequivalent parameters to base oils.
