The Assessment of Reuse Possibility of Spent Oils at Mining and Concentration Complexes

Abstract

During equipment’s maintenance operation at divisions of Join-stock company “ALROSA” there are produced more than thousand tons of spent oils, which are the waste of the third class of hazard, and for these waste is need some method of treatment; by doing so, needs keep in mind that methods of its storage and recovery are connected with some financial expenses. At the same time these wastes could be secondary raw materials for receiving on its base product, that could not use, if nor designated purpose, but possibly for other business use. There were considered possibilities of reconditioning of engine, industrial and hydraulic oils’ properties, with the object of its reuse, as well as possibility of oils combustion, if oils cannot be regenerated, for heat production.
