PURIFICATION OF MINERAL AND SYNTHETIC MOTOR OILS FROM MECHANICAL IMPURITIES THROUGH PHYSICAL EFFECTS

In a timely world, there is an active development and global implementation of energy-saving technologies, the task of which is to minimize the negative anthropogenic impact on the environment. A massive impact that disrupts the ecological balance of the Earth is exerted by the widespread use of processed hydrocarbon raw materials. It is for this reason that the rational use of fuel and energy resources is a priority for development. In this regard, optimization of the processing of used synthetic and mineral oils is an urgent task.The paper shows the possibility of using wave action at the preliminary stage of purification of waste petroleum oils. The objects and methods used for the study are presented. The results of studies are presented, on the basis of which the conditions for coagulation were identified, under which the best effect of the process is achieved, data are also given on the influence of a constant magnetic field and ultrasonic exposure on the degree of purification of used oils from mechanical impurities.
