The present research has been made from experimental tests that allow to determine the amount of waste generated in the bleaching stage in the re-refining process of used mineral oils by means of the acid-clay method, using for this purpose two types of adsorbents: activated clay and powdered activated carbon. The tests performed in the plant show that less waste is generated using activated carbon. In order to achieve a good quality final product (final coloration of the re-refined base oil), a particle size distribution of the adsorbent and a filtration system suitable for this purpose must be obtained. The acid-clay method used for the re-refining of used mineral oils involves the stages of Storage, Screening, Distillation, Acidification, Neutralization, Adsorption and Filtration. In fact, it is in the Adsorption stage where the residual oil bleaching is carried out using two different adsorbents and different dosages. The inputs used for the tests of this research work in this stage are the following: activated clay TONSIL® SUPREME 169, activated clay BEST® B-HY-1B and activated carbon COLORSORB™ XFP21. For this reason, this thesis investigates and evaluates the properties and dosages of the adsorbents to generate less amount of waste in the adsorption stage which has a direct influence on the environmental impact. To find the best engineering solution to the problem posed in the adsorption stage, we have neutralized oil that has gone through the stages of Distillation, Acidification and Neutralization, operating conditions in the aforementioned stages of the treatment. Finally, with the dosages obtained experimentally with the activated carbon COLORSORB™ XFP21, the generation of waste from the adsorption stage can be reduced by comparing these results with those obtained from the current process using activated clay TONSIL® SUPREME 169.
