International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2025
The disposal of waste oils, particularly waste engine oil (WEO) and waste turbine oil (WTO), presents serious economic and environmental issues due to their high contamination and degradation levels, which reduce the efficiency of direct reuse or conventional recycling. This study investigates a practical approach for upcycling WTO and WEO into high-performance lubricating grease, providing a sustainable substitute for petroleum-based lubricants. The study includes five essential stages: waste oil collection, pre-treatment, characterization, grease formulation, and performance assessment. Following treatment, the viscosity, elemental content, and moisture levels of the oils complied with Department of Environment (DOE) and ASTM D5185 standards, confirming their viability as base oils. The formulated greases achieved NLGI grades of 2–3, oil bleed percentages within a ± 15%, and oil separation below 4%. They also exhibited low coefficients of friction (0.062–0.133) and wear scar diameters ranging from 415.65 to 866 μm. These results confirm that treated WTO and WEO can be converted into greases with performance comparable to conventional products, supporting reduced dependence on virgin base oils. The formulations were assessed under relevant ASTM and NLGI standards. Future work may explore additives or scale-up approaches to enhance long-term performance and market readiness. - Minimizing Total Production Cost in Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling using Taguchi Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

This study uses metaheuristic optimization algorithms to minimize the total production cost (TPC) in a hybrid flow shop scheduling (HFS) environment. Scheduling jobs in manufacturing systems is vital for fulfilling customer demands and improving efficiency. In this research, four well-established metaheuristic algorithms, namely Tuned Particle Swarm Optimization (TPSO), Standard particle swarm optimization (PSO), Sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and Arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA), were explored for TPC optimization in HFS using MATLAB (2022b). Through experimental analysis, TPSO consistently provided the best solutions regarding mean fitness, outperforming other algorithms in a maximum of 12 benchmark test problems. Taguchi's Design of Experiment (DOE) was utilized to identify the most influential parameter configurations for PSO. The findings highlight the effectiveness of TPSO in minimizing production costs and improving productivity in HFS. This research contributes to production scheduling and offers insights for organizations striving to optimize manufacturing systems utilizing the HFS environment. - Greedy-assisted teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm for cost-based hybrid flow shop scheduling

Concerns about the dwindling supply of mineral oil, which is heavily used in products like grease, have prompted the exploration of Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) as a viable alternative. WCO, derived from improperly disposed vegetable oil, is the focus of this study, which aims to produce grease using Fumed Silica (F.S.) as a thickener. The process involves heating and filtering WCO to reduce moisture content and remove impurities, followed by formulation with additives using a homogenizer at 5000 rpm for three hours, and then cooling for a week. The resulting greases are tested for consistency, oil bleeding, separation, dropping point, and corrosion rate. All lubricants exhibit NLGI values between 00 and 4, oil bleeding from -15% to 15%, oil separation below 4%, a dropping point exceeding 350℃, and a slightly tarnished appearance against copper strips for corrosion classification. An exception is made for F.G94 due to its abnormal grease structure. Despite this anomaly, F.G90 emerges as the top-performing grease, meeting all specifications. This study highlights the effectiveness of WCO as a base oil for grease production. - Energy Utilized Hybrid Flowshop Scheduling using Multi-Objective Tiki Taka Algorithm (MOTTA)
