Applicability of Waste Engine Oil for the Direct Production of Electricity
2021
New methods for the use of waste products as input for other technologies are a constant subject of research efforts. One such product is waste engine oil. Due to the constantly increasing number of motor vehicles in the world, the recycling or application of engine oils for energy production purposes is currently of considerable importance. This paper contains research regarding the analysis of the electro-oxidation potential of waste engine oil, and thus the possibility of using such oil as a material in fuel cells. The research demonstrates the basic possibility of the electro-oxidation of this oil emulsion on a platinum electrode in an acid electrolyte (aqueous solution of H2SO4). It wa…
Feasibility of Waste Engine Oil Electrooxidation with Ni-Co and Cu-B Catalysts
2022
To implement a circular economy policy, methods of using waste products as a starting point for other technologies are constantly researched. One of the waste products that should be disposed of after use is waste engine oil (WEO). Despite the permanent introduction of the electrification of cars, the number of combustion vehicles (and, thus, the production of WEO) is constantly increasing. For these reasons, the reuse of WEOs is extremely important; e.g., to use these oils for energy purposes. One of the potential uses of this type of oil is as fuel for fuel cells (for direct electricity production). To lower the production costs of electrodes for fuel cells, catalysts that do not contain …
Electricity production from waste engine oil from agricultural machinery
2017
As fuel for fuel cells can be used various substances, but generally fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. However, problems with the storage of hydrogen are the reason for the search of new fuels for fuel cells. Moreover, annually are produced huge amount of waste oils. These oils must be directed to purification and processing. It would be important to use waste engine oil as fuel for fuel cell to direct electricity production without intermediate stage e.g. combustion. The paper presents the possibility of using waste engine oil as fuel for fuel cell. The oil does not have the feature of electrical conductivity, for this reason a detergent was used for dissolving oil in an electrolyte. So,…
Elektroutlenianie przepracowanego oleju 15W-40
2017
W pracy przedstawiono badania nad możliwością wykorzystania odpadowego oleju silnikowego 15W-40 do bezpośredniego pozyskiwania energii elektrycznej. Pomiary obejmowały elektroutlenianie emulsji odpadowego (zużytego) oleju silnikowego 15W-40 na gładkiej elektrodzie platynowej w kwasowym elektrolicie (H2SO4). Do wytworzenia emulsji wykorzystano detergent Syntanol DS-10. Pomiary przeprowadzono w temperaturze 293-333K. Maksymalna uzyskana gęstość prądu wyniosła 19 mA/cm2 (dla temp. 333K). Badania wykazały możliwość bezpośredniego wytwarzania prądu elektrycznego z odpadowego oleju silnikowego 15W40, a więc możliwość zasilania nim ogniw paliwowych.
