  • How is lubricating oil regenerated?
  • Regeneration of base oil from spent lubricating oil entails using physical and chemical procedures to obtain base oil that can be reused in the formulation of new lubricants. Solvent extraction, hydro-treatment, and acid clay treatment are examples of traditional regeneration procedures.
  • Does lubricating oil regeneration cost a lot?
  • Despite tremendous success, the issue of cost remains a significant gap in spent lubricating oil regeneration. In light of this, more research into designing a systematic solvent screening process that takes into account the economic and environmental aspects of the regeneration process is recommended.
  • How is oil regeneration achieved?
  • The organic matter is removed by the oxidizing property of concentrated H2SO4, and the activated carbon is used to adsorb the pigment, and mechanical impurities are removed by filtration, so that the purpose of oil regeneration can be achieved.
  • What are the physicochemical properties of regenerated base oil?
  • After adding additives, the physicochemical properties of the regenerated base oil, density (884 kg/m3), specific gravity (0.884), viscosity (266 cp), viscosity index (81), flash point (276oC), fire point (313oC), pour point (-22oC), cloud point (105oC), aniline point (11oC), and total acid number (0.53 mg/g) all in conformity with SAE standards.
  • Can lubricating oil reduce environmental degradation?
  • Because of the health, economic, and environmental implications of spent lubricating oil, the search for the most efficient and cost-effective technology to reduce environmental degradation while promoting socioeconomic incentives has generated research interest.
  • How lubricating oil is re-refining by solvent extraction-flocculation process?
  • The solvent after extraction is recovered using distillation technique and reused. Re-refining of spent lubricating oil by solvent extraction-flocculation process is mainly associated with two objectives; base oil recovery and segregation of solid contaminants (Hussein and Abdulkarim, 2017).
