An Investigation To The Recycling Of Spent Engine Oil

This paper describes an investigation carried out to study the recycling of spent engine oil as a result of indiscriminate disposalof the spent engine oil into the surrounding which has contributed immensely to the level of environmental pollutionin our society and nation at large. This paper identify a unique method by which the spent oil is adequately recycled for reuse,the cost of recycling is relatively low compared from its production from crude oil as the numbers of purification stagesare reduced. From the research carried out it was discovered that when 25 liters of spent oil was recycled appropriately, 10liters of lubricating oil was obtained from the process whereas 220 liters of crude oil would be required to produce the same10 liters of oil.
