Tip 1: Why to buy waste oil
Previously used engine oils were burned. Now they are often bought at gas stations to be regenerated or used for other purposes.
Oil regeneration
Recovery of used engine oilincludes the removal of acids, colloidal substances, mechanical particles, chemical sediment, bitumen deposits, water condensate, giving the product a renewed odor and color of the original. There are many different ways to restore the waste oil, they all have their pros and cons, so you can not select any preferred technology. When the oil is restored mechanically, solid particles and free "unnecessary" water are removed. After this, the thermophysical phase begins, which includes evaporation and vacuum distillation. Then there is a physicochemical treatment that is needed to artificially increase the toxin compounds so that they can be filtered out later. During microfiltration, waste oil is passed through a variety of membranes that differ in productivity and thermal stability. The fact is that the used oil becomes more liquid (and therefore easier passes through the membranes) when heated. The highest or ideal goal of regeneration is to obtain an oil that exceeds the original product by its characteristics. This requires a more delicate and complex multi-step work involving the use of chemical recovery methods that require very sophisticated equipment. Conventional refined engine oil has properties that allow it to be used in less stressed aggregates and machine nodes.Creative application of waste oil
But even if not to restoremachine oil, it can be used in many areas. For example, used oil can protect the lower and poorly protected from the rain parts of the walls of houses made of wood. However, in this case it is desirable to create a special tar oil with the help of oil and tar. To make it quite simple - just enough in a metal vessel to melt the tar and add the old oil. If for the treatment of surfaces it is intended to use still warm mass, the volumes of tar and oil should be equal. If the treatment is carried out with chilled paste, the oils are added a little less. With the help of used machine oil, it is possible to quickly and easily clean rollers or brushes from quick-drying enamels or paints. If immediately after work, put the brush in the waste oil, and then wipe it with a rag or paper, it will quickly remove the paint particles from the bristles. After this, the brush should be rinsed thoroughly with warm soapy water from the residual oil.Tip 2: How to clean engine oil
It is customary to change engine oil through certainintervals of time. However, after this procedure, it is usually poured, and that's it. But experts are sure that it is completely in vain. You can reuse it perfectly. The main thing is to clean the oil of harmful impurities.
Instructions
1
Take a large empty container and fill itten parts already used and drained oil. But fill it must be so that the full capacity is only 2/3. After that, put it on the fire and wait for the boil.
2
When the oil boils, pour into a containeradditionally one part of the liquid glass. Now stir and continue stirring. The whole procedure will take you about 10 minutes. During this time, the oil should be cleaned sufficiently. Drain it in another container. But very carefully, so that the resulting residue remains at the bottom of the container. This way you can get several liters of clean and again ready-to-consume machine oil.
3
For cleaning engine oil from harmful impuritiesyou can also use special cleaners. They represent a small height aggregates, which by passing through their built-in filters ennoble the used oil, making it again usable.
4
If you want and the available opportunity, takeoil in a special chemical laboratory. Ask her staff to clean the oil. The principle of industrial cleaning coincides with the purification of raw materials at home - just like a high incandescence temperature, heating of the starting material, adding an auxiliary, and mixing them for a certain period of time.
5
Check the degree of oil cleaning is easy. Just take a special laboratory filter paper and drop some raw material onto it. If a black spot appears on the filter, it means that the cleaning was done poorly, the process should be repeated. Or it may also mean that the oil was too polluted. So, it is only necessary to clean it in an industrial laboratory on a professional machine.
Tip 3: How to use waste oil
When replacing oil in the engine or transmissioncar, the waste product is usually discarded. But the good owner is sorry to throw away what the money was once paid for. Moreover, the old oil can still serve a good service.
Instructions
1
Although used oil is no longer suitable foruse in the car, but does not lose its lubricating properties. It can be used to lubricate bicycles, tools, door hinges, locks and even chainsaws, unless it is prohibited in the operating instructions.
2
Used oil is used for impregnationrailway sleepers, to protect them from spoilage. In the economy, just the same used oil can impregnate boards and beams, poles for fences, cellars, the lower rims of wooden buildings, rough floors. Moreover, it is possible to impregnate by working not only wooden, but also bituminous surfaces.
3
Old oil is great for lighting a fireand to maintain a flame. If the farm regularly accumulates large amounts of waste oil, it makes sense to purchase a stove-burzhuyku working on the mine. However, note that when burning work off, pairs of zinc, lead, manganese and other harmful substances are released. So on fire from old butter shish kebab not fry, and the room healed should be well ventilated.
4
From experience of foreign firms it is possible to note the richThe experience in the processing of oil by firms specializing in the maintenance of trucks. The fused oil is processed into furnace fuel, motor fuel, coke or bitumen. The profitability of such production reaches 120%.
5
Try to recycle the old oilfor use it is possible independently, in usual conditions. To do this, take a container and fill it with 2/3 of used oil and bring to a boil. Then pour in it a liquid glass (calcium silicate or sodium silicate) in a volume of 10% of the existing oil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Then gently drain the product so that the residue completely remains in the old container. The resulting product will be a refined oil, completely suitable for reuse.
6
If there is an old military truck with dieselengine, fuel for it can be diluted with used oil. It should be remembered that the harmful components contained in the old oil slowly but surely wear out the engine. Therefore, the method is suitable for very old engines, to break which is not a pity. In the United States, biodiesel is produced from waste oil, many diesel engines working without problems. To obtain biodiesel, the oil is mixed with methanol and potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. After heating to 60 degrees, settle and filter.
7
Even if none of the described methodsthe use of oil is not suitable, it can simply be handed over to the point of reception of old oil for processing. Recently, such items have become quite a lot, so to get money from selling unnecessary oil will not be difficult. The only drawback is that such establishments, as a rule, work only with large volumes of lubricants.
