Study of the effects of copper undecylate on the tribological properties of refined waste oil

Abstract

The results of experimental studies of the use of refined spent oil as a base for manufacturing of lubricants with additives in the form of copper undocylate are presented. The effectiveness of cleaning spent oil by baromembran methods has been shown. The introduction of copper undecylate into the refined spent oil can reduce the friction factor by 1.7 times, wear by 28%.
