Rathod  Professor, Deptt. of Chemical Technology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati, Maharshtra Various types of Lubricating oils are used to meet different requirements. These oils can be classified as engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils, turbine oils, etc. Engine oils are used to reduce friction between moving surfaces of engine parts. The another functions of these oils are also to remove heat, remove wear debris, created by moving surfaces and debris created by combustion of fuels, and protect metal surfaces from corrosion. Lubricating oils are prepared by blending different base oils derived from suitable crude oil and then blending them with required proportion of additives. Converting used lubricating oil to gas oil is an intelligent option for any country, more so for India, as it would conserve the natural resources a...

Rathod  Assistant Professor, Deptt. of Chemical Technology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati, Maharashtra Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of crude oil resources have led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. On the other hand, waste engine oils pose a very serious environment challenge because of their disposal problems all over the world. In this context, waste oils are currently receiving renewed interest. In recent years, depleting fossil fuel sources, growing demand and cost of petroleum based fuels, and environmental hazards as a result of burning of them have encouraged researchers to investigate possibility of using alternative fuels instead of the fossil fuels. Therefore, the researchers have focused on finding alternative new energy resources and util...

Periodic Research   ( P: ISSN No. 2231-0045 RNI No. UPBIL/2012/55438 VOL.-III, ISSUE-II, November-2014 E: ISSN No. 2349-9435 ) Abstract   A. L. Rathod  Professor, Deptt. of Chemical Technology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati, Maharashtra 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 dispo...
