Lubricating oil is an important resource and a petroleum base product. The high price of lube oil and objective of saving valuable foreign exchange is resulting in efforts for regeneration of used engine oil and/or it’s conversion to valuable products. Mismanagement of waste engine oil has a serious worldwide environmental problem, unfortunately, most of used oil is handled improperly, and some is dumped into sewers for going directly into waste water. Some is dumped directly into the ground to kill weeds or is poured into dirty roads or is dumped in deserts, where it could contaminate surface and ground water, in some cases it is used for heating purposes resulting in air pollution. All of these mismanagement and disposal ways are adversely affecting the environment. Recycling of used oil became the need of hour due to economic, environmental, public health and legal reasons. Using waste engine oil as a source of energy or feedstock for chemical industries is a good option for any country, importantly for India, as it would conserve both the valuable natural resources as well as foreign exchange. Used automotive engine oil (Lubricant) is cracked at 420oC in presence of ceramic beads, with the intention of assessing the suitability of the process in recovering valuable products from this otherwise difficult to dispose off waste engine oil. The resulting cracked gases condensed into liquid oil, the yield and properties of the recovered products were determined. The recovered cracked liquid and gaseous products can be used as a valuable fuel and/or as an industrial feedstock. The results indicate that cracking of waste engine oil in presence of ceramic beads shows extreme promise as a means for disposing off problematic waste engine oil. The recovery of commercially valuable products from waste engine oil shows advantage over traditional, more destructive disposal methods.

They are known to be highly toxic to cells, mainly through their action on cell reproduction. Many have proved to be carcinogens, mutagens or teratogens. Patients receiving therapeutic doses of these drugs have exhibited many adverse effects, including cancers. All people who came in contact with cytotoxic drug...

Student, Dept. of Home Science, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Kesar Chayal  Assistant Professor, Dept. of Home Science, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India The present study was an attempt to investigate the preference of information sources by agriculture farmers. Study was conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. 75 respondents were selected through random sampling method for the study and personal interview technique was used for data collection. Data related to information source used by the farmers revealed that mobile phone was the most preferred source by the farmers (70.66%). Farming helping apps (56%), television (53.33%), internet (52%) and local leader /neighbors (41.33%) always used by the farmers for accessing agriculture information. Study further revealed th...
