Abstract

The data in this article were obtained from are search designed to investigate the effects of choice of solvent, mixing speed,temperature and solvent to oil ratio on the treatment process of used lubricating oils using solvent extraction and adsorption method. Various data on the performance of the three solvents chosen were studied and compared based on certain parameters are presented and discussed.From the results obtained,it was observed that MEK (MethylEthylKetone) had the best performance because it gave the highest sludge removal and closest properties to the fresh lubricating base stock. Furthermore,it was also determined that increase in temperature improved the quality of oil obtained up till 50 °C above this temperature poorer quality of oil was observed. But above all the factors investigated,it was concluded that solvent to oil ratio has a greater effect on the quality of oil produced after treatment
