Abstract:This study aimed at developing a laboratory scale packed bed reactor (PBR) and evaluating its performance in re-refining of used lubricating oils. Used and unused motor oil samples of two brands (Mobil Super SAE 20W-50 and Total Quartz 5000 SAE 20W-50) were used in this study. The sorbent materials were a blend of diatomaceous materials in the same mass ratio. The compound types of the oils eluted from the PBR and those of used and virgin oil samples were studied for comparison. FTIR spectroscopy was employed … Show more
