Tribological Study of MemPore-Recovered Lube Oils from Innovative Membrane Filtration Process

拟议的项目涉及回收润滑油的润滑性能。MemPore是一家总部位于安大略省的公司，拥有一项创新的膜过滤技术，通过过滤回收清洁的润滑油。该公司对回收油的润滑性能缺乏了解；这种情况限制了他们润滑油的市场。为了克服这一限制，MemPore与滑铁卢大学的化学工程师赵博欣博士的实验室合作。拟议项目的目标是发展摩擦学测量和对回收的清洁油进行表征，以更好地了解回收油的润滑性能。这将使人们对回收的石油有新的了解，有助于提高它们的销售性，并可能产生新的产品。

The proposed project addresses the lubrication properties of recovered lube oils. The MemPore is an Ontario based company and has an innovative membrane filtration technique to recover clean lube oil by filtration. The company lacks understanding the lubrication properties of their recovered oils; this situation limits the marketability of their lube oils. To overcome this limitation, MemPore has teamed up with a chemical engineer Dr. Boxin Zhao's laboratory at the University of Waterloo. The proposed project targets development of tribological measurements and the characterization of the recovered clean oils to develop a better understanding of the lubrication properties of the recovered oils. It will generate new understanding of the recovered oils and help improve their marketability and may enable new products.
