Management of waste oil
Abstract
Today's environment is being polluted by various sources. Used oil is one of the substantial contributors to the pollution and serious efforts are being made to prevent any damage to the environment. Hence a comprehensive study has been undertaken to investigate the factors responsible for such damage. The characteristics of waste oil, have been studied which make the oil hazardous. Also, various sources, based on which waste oil is classified are also discussed. Over the years, a large number of physical and chemical processes have been developed, which are used for recycle and recovery of waste oil. Some of the common processes which are in use are described. Improper handling and disposal of used oil can result in unlimited liability. Hence a brief overview of regulations has been given to provide a basic understanding and enable the related persons/facilities to ensure complete compliance. One aspect of the control of used oil is various implant measures. Keeping this in mind some case studies have been given, which have yielded positive results.
