Taking into consideration the fact that used oils are considered hazardous and extremely toxic, their subsequent use creates a real threat to the environment. The only effective measure for protecting the natural environment from used oil contamination is collection and controlled utilization. Only appropriate used oil management can guarantee minimal environmental contamination and prevent its irreversible degradation.The aim of our study was to determine the content of select heavy metal elements in used engine oils originating from agricultural tractors and agricultural machines of varying mileage. The tests were carried out by using the HD XRF method. The researched samples showed a high content of zinc remaining at 726-1,389 mg·kg , and Pb 0.9-13.71 mg·kg -1 . Mercury and cadmium were not found in the tested oils.

“…For lubricant oils analysis, their chemical composition and size of particles in wear remains could determine the method of choice. Organic solvents have been used by several authors to dissolve oil samples, as the same time as ICP-OES has been chosen for trace elements determination [10,17,25,26]. The main drawback of this sample preparation is that many times, large solid particles present in used lubricants are complicated to dissolve, resulting in sensitivity loss in the nebulization, atomization and detection of wear metals by ICP-OES.…”

“…Wear analysis has gained commercial interest and several analytical methodologies based on atomic spectrometric techniques have been developed to determine elemental composition of lubricants [1,3,[6][7][8][9][10][11]. Thus, chemical data from lubricant analysis reveals the presence and amount of metallic wear particles in the lubricating.…”
