In this paper, the behaviour of surfactants such as lubricating oil additives at the oil–water interface and the influence of the position of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) in the block polyether demulsifier on the demulsification effect were investigated by molecular simulation and experimental verification. The properties of seven lubricating oil additives with different functions and two pairs of isomers were investigated by molecular simulation, and their demulsification effects were verified by experiments. Some simulation results such as interface thickness and density distribution can accurately predict the experimental demulsification effect. Moreover, it was found that the position isomerism of surfactants affected the demulsification performance by changing the lipophilic balance and interface properties. The demulsification performance of sequenced copolymers is generally better than that of anti-sequenced copolymers.

The nanofluid was prepared by mixing the MWCNT nanoparticles with an eco-friendly automotive radiator coolant (base fluid). The cooling-lubrication performance is investigated briefly by comparing the machining responses like machined surface morphology, tool wear, cutting force and temperature. The experiments associated with 46 trials were performed by considering various machining variables, namely cutting speed, nose radius, depth of cut, feed and cooling-lubrication methods. From the perspective of predictive modelling and multi-response optimisation, response surface methodology has been employed to minimise power consumption and surface roughness. Thereafter, the predictive modelling and optimisation results are implemented for economic analysis and energy-saving carbon footprint evaluation. This innovative research also addresses comparative environmental sustainability evaluation in hard turning under different cooling-lubrication conditions using a life cycle assessment methodology for cleaner and safer production. Results indicate that cutting speed was the most influential item in power consumption enhancement. Furthermore, compared with dry and flooded turning, lower cutting force, reduced cutting temperature, shorter width of flank wear and better surface morphology were obtained under nanofluid-MQL machining.

Research showed that among common evaluation indicators for metal fluids, three—electrical conductivity, refractive index and total base number (TBN)—due to their high linear correlation with tempering lubricant concentration (<i>R</i>\u0000 ² &gt; 0.995), could be utilised to monitor the dynamic changes in the concentration of tempering lubricants.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), carcinogenic substances and other impurities make lubricating oil poisonous and pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Re-refining is considered the preferred technology for resource conservation, waste minimisation and reduced environmental hazards. The present study focuses on optimising the method of re-refining waste lubricating oil. The effects of various operating parameters such as refining time, refining temperature, solvent-to-used oil ratio and flocculant dosage have been extensively studied to maximise the percentage recovery of lubricating oil. Optimum process parameters are (i) a refining time of 80 min, (ii) a refining temperature of 48°C, (iii) solvent-to-waste oil ratio of 5:1 (w/w) and (iv) a flocculant dosage of 2 g/kg of solvent; the optimum yield was found to be 75% with the solvent extraction method and 78% with the extraction–flocculation method, respectively.
