{"title":"Effects of used lubricating oil on the properties of low pour fuel oil","authors":"Akan B. Williams, O. Akaranta","doi":"10.4314/GJES.V6I2.2500","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4314/GJES.V6I2.2500","url":null,"abstract":"Effects of used lubricating oil on selected properties of low pour fuel oil (L.P.F.O) have been evaluated. The fuel oil was blended with used automotive crankcase oil at sample to used oil ratios of 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4 and 5:5. L.P.F.O analysis resulted in the following physicochemical properties: heat content (42.87 MJ/kg), kinematic viscosity at 70 oC (20.50 cSt), density at 15 oC (0.9601 kg/l), sulphur content (0.3295 wt%), water content (1.80 vol%) and ash content (0.073 wt%). The values obtained for used oil were lower than those of the blend. The physicochemical profile of L.P.F.O with increasing used oil blends indicated the following ranges: heat content (43.20 – 51.17 MJ/kg), kinematic viscosity at 70 oC (19.89 – 15.57 cSt), density at 15 oC (0.9430 – 0.10106 kg/l), sulphur content (0.3297 – 0.4821 wt%), water content (1.70 – 0.80 vol%) and ash content (0.069 – 0.055 wt%). Physicochemical profile of fuel oil blends showed the desirability of the blending as a positive influence on the heat content of fuel oil. Considering the need to utilize the observed positive effect of used oil additions on the heat content of fuel oil without seriously altering its physicochemical properties, a fuel oil to used oil ratio of 7:3 is recommended as an appropriate blend that could serve as a cost effective method of achieving the desired used oil properties and thus serve as an appropriate method for used oil disposal.","PeriodicalId":12569,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Environmental Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"117-119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80131429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methodology, general information on Local crop types, fuelwood species known to the people, their reasons for the preference of particular fuelwood species, the quantity extracted and who does the harvesting was collected.\u0000Qualitative and descriptive statistics such as matrix ranking techniques, simple proportions/percentages and tables were employed in the data analysis. Results show that integration of woody species with annual crops in agroforestry systems can enhance sustainability of production systems in the montane and savanna ecosystem under low input conditions. Agroforestry has short and long-term protective and socio-economic benefit and would go a long way in checking the problems of erosion, flooding, adverse change in ecology, decline in soil productivity, loss of useful species of organisms (plants and wildlife) and the gradual deterioration of the entire forest lands (deforestation). Stable indigenous and prototype agroforestry systems suitable for the regions are available.
