Abstract

Waste grease Solvent extraction Oil extraction
Solvent extraction is one of the cheapest and more efficient processes for waste lubricants recycling. In this short paper, the effect of extraction temperature, agitation speed and extraction time was studied. Oil recovery was enhanced by an increase in extraction temperature, time and agitation speed. The optimum extraction time and overall recovery were 12 minutes and 74% respectively.
