The technology of environmentally safe disposal of used lubricating oils

The problems of preventing man-made pollution of the natural environment by used lubricating oils are relevant. This is due to the article that analyzes the categories of lubricants, the global dynamics of base oils. The standards of lubricating oils with conservation of resources and improved compatibility for engine protection are analyzed. The composition of fresh and used lubricating oil is considered. Methods and technologies for the disposal of used lubricating oil are systematized, and it is proved that membrane regeneration is the most effective technology for ensuring the environmental safety of territories. A further research program has been developed related to the technologies of regeneration of the waste in question in the region. The methods proposed in this paper for the disposal (regeneration) of used lubricating oils can be adapted to create an integrated hazardous waste management system aimed at preventing man-made emergencies and their adverse environmental consequences.
