Effect of Nanoceramics on Processing Oil
Abstract: Ceramics are metallic as well as non-metallic compounds incorporated in lubricating oil Oil acts as a lubricator in the compounding of rubber. Ceramic powder is prepared by combustion method in which oxidant and fuel ratio is fixed. Nitrate salts of barium, iron, copper and silver are mixed in aqueous medium, Suitable solvent is added in aqueous mixture. After heating the mixture on hot plate up to 100 oC. , Homogeneous, lustrous and uniform powder is prepared. This is highly effective to decrease saponification value of oil which acts as a plasticiser in rubber like material. Lesser the saponification value better the quality of oil. Saponification value indicates number of milligrams ok KOH required to saponify one gram of oil. Lubricating capacity oil is increased after application of ceramic in oil. Viscosity value is remain unchanged.
Keywords: Nitrate metal salts, oil, citric acid, oxalic acid, potassium hydroxide
