Abstract

The recycling of waste lubricant oil from automobile industry was found to be best alternative to incineration. Silica (SiO₂), alumina (Al ₂O₃), silica-alumina (SiO₂-Al₂O ₃) supported iron oxide (10 wt% Fe) catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method and used for the desulphurisation of waste lubricant oil into fuel oil. The extent of sulphur removal increases in the sequence of Fe/SiO₂-Al₂O₃<Fe/Al₂O ₃<Fe/SiO₂ and this might be due to the presence of smaller crystalline size (7.4 nm) of Fe₂O₃ in Fe/SiO ₂ catalyst. X-ray diffraction results suggest the presence of iron sulphide in the used catalyst. Gas chromatography with thermal conductivity detector analysis confirms the presence of H₂S in gaseous products. In addition, Fe/SiO₂ catalyst facilitated the formation of lower hydrocarbons by cracking higher hydrocarbons (≈C₄₀) present in waste lubricant oil.
