Isolation And Characterization Of Soil Microorganisms Capable Of Utilizing Used Motor Oil For Growth
… lack of research dealing specifically with used-motor oil. The biodegration of used motor oil using inoculums from pristine soil and used-motor oil contaminated soil was investigated. Six indigenous soil microorganisms that were capable of utilizing used-motor oil as their sole carbon-energy …

Supercritical water gasification of waste residues
… to explore the thermo-chemical conversion of motor oil as a model compound, in supercritical water. Used motor oil was identified as a main waste compound leading to increased land fill concerns and supercritical water gasification is introduced as a method of decomposing such waste residues …

Effect of Rolling on Viscoelastic Fluids Using a Novel Testing Device
… fluid film thickness of different lubricants (motor oil, synovial fluid and Hyaluronic Acid (HA)) to varying loads (1kg, 2,kg, 3kg and 4kg) and speeds (10, 25, 48 and 91 mm/s) applied on the sample fluids for 10 cycles. We were able to examine the effect of different speeds within each load for …

Effect of fullerene containing lubricants on wear resistance of machine components in boundary lubrication
… texture analysis were employed. Heavy duty motor oil SAE 10 was modified by admixing fullerenes C_{60}, a fullerene mixture of C_{60} and C_{70}, fullerene containing soot, and graphite powder. The experiments showed that all of the selected fullerene additives dissolved in liquid lubricants …

Study of Hydrocarbon Waste Biodegradation and the Role of Biosurfactants in the Process
Two types of oily waste sludges generated by a railroad maintenance facility were studied to reduce the volume of hydrocarbon waste. The specific goals of this laboratory study were to evaluate rate and extent of microbial degradation, benefits of organism addition, role of biosurfactant, and …

The mechanism of corrosion of cadmium-silver-copper bearing alloys
… to develop a procedure to quantitatively rate oils and inhibitors with respect to corrosion. Two pieces of testing apparatus were employed - a jet-type oil bath and a glass apparatus. It was found that corrosion of the cadmium base bearing metals took place in the jet-type oil bath with jet …

Disinfectants and Plumbing Materials: Effects on the Sensory and Chemical Characteristics of Drinking Water
… worst odors that were consistently described as "motor oil". Polyethylene generated more intense plumbing associated odors than PEX or cPVC plastic material. cPVC and copper generated the least odors. Both copper pipe and epoxy-lined copper consumed residual chlorine and chloramines.

OIL SPILL CLEANUP BY HYDROPHOBIC SILICA AEROGELS AND SPILLED OIL INTERACTION WITH SUSPENDED SEDIMENTS
Silica aerogel is a promising adsorbent for oil spill cleanup. To make it an economic and environmentally-friendly adsorbent, the effectiveness of thermal regeneration of silica aerogels is investigated in this study. After hydrocarbon desorption at 80 °C, the adsorption capacities of regenerated …
