Treatment of residual lubricating oil using rice husk-based material as ecological adsorbent
Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management(2022)
Abstract
One of the most significant environmental problems the world population faces is the inadequate disposal of petroleum derivatives. Lubricant oil is a hazardous waste due to its properties and characteristics. This study is a new proposal for using rice waste as an adsorbent to remove lubricating oils from a water medium. Rice husk from local industries was prepared using four different techniques: thermal treatment, alkaline treatment, acid treated and without treatment. The experiment used a mineral-based lubricating oil for gasoline and ethanol engines as adsorbate. Absorbents were characterized using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), morphological structure (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Specific surface area and pore size distribution (BET/BJH). The adsorbent without treatment showed the smallest surface area (0.79 m 2 g −1 ), while the adsorbent produced using acid treatment showed the largest (3.71 m 2 g −1 ). The adsorption kinetic behavior was obtained by adjusting the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models. Elovich models showed more adequate results to represent the kinetic profile. The adsorbents showed high adsorption capacities, ranging from 1650 to 2000 mg g −1 . The adsorbent produced using heat treatment (RH-H) was the most efficient for removing lubricating oil. Graphical abstract
