Environmental Implications of Oil Spills from Shipping Accidents
PublicationWzrost znaczenia ropy naftowej w XX wieku i w związku z tym, zwiększenie się światowej floty tankowców zwróciły uwagę na negatywne skutki transportu morskiego. Katastrofy z udziałem tankowców pokazały, jak dramatyczne w skutkach mogą być wycieki produktów ropopochodnych z uszkodzonych lub zatopionych jednostek. Skutki wycieku ropy na morzu zależą od wielu czynników, takich jak parametry fizyko-chemiczne paliwa, charakterystyka...

Biodegradability of simulant fluids and crude oil in aquatic environment
PublicationBiodegradowalność symulantów płynów była oceniana poprzez pomiar CO2 (EPA 560/6-82-003). Badaniu poddawane były emulsyjne i nieemulsyjne symulanty ropy oraz lekka ropa naftowa typu A z Północnej Ameryki. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na łatwą biodegradowalność obu symulantów w porównaniu do badanej ropy naftowej.

Preparation, characterization and antimicrobial activity of polyvinyl alcohol/gum arabic/chitosan composite films incorporated with black pepper essential oil and ginger essential oil
PublicationIn this study, biocomposite films based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gum arabic (GA) and chitosan (CS) incorporated with BPEO and GEO were fabricated by solvent casting method. FTIR, XRD, SEM and DSC were performed with mechanical and antimicrobial properties of PVA/GA/CS films with and without BPEO and GEO. The BPEO and GEO incorporated PVA/GA/CS films were significantly inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus,...

A new technology of crude vegetable oil degumming with rhamnolipid solutions
PublicationA new technology of crude vegetable oil degumming is described. It is based on rhamnolipid biocomplex solution application for phosphatides removal. The rhamnolipid biocomplex produced by Pseudomonas sp. PS-17 was used as biosurfactant. Rapeseed oil was used in all experiments. First, it was degummed with H2SO4 in order to remove all phosphatides and then 1% (w/w) of granular soybean lecithin was added. Model oil was treated with...

RESEARCH ON HYDRODYNAMIC PEEK JOURNAL BEARINGS LUBRICATED WITH WATER AND OIL
PublicationThe main purpose of the research was to determine the possibilities and experimentally test the benefits of replacing conventional oil lubrication with ecological water lubrication. Tests were carried out on a test rig for hydrodynamic radial bearings under conditions representative of the expected applications for the bearing in water turbines. Bearings made from the polymer material PEEK (polyether ether ketone) were tested under static...

Propagation Characteristics of Partial Discharges in an Oil-Filled Power Transformer
PublicationPower transformers are among the most important assets in the power transmission and distribution grid. However, they suffer from degradation and possible faults causing major electrical and financial losses. Partial discharges (PDs) are used to identify the insulation health status and their degradation level. PDs are incipient, low-magnitude faults caused by localized dielectric breakdown. Those activities emit signals in many...

Concrete corrosion against penetration of mineral oil application of impregnants
PublicationOleje stanowią związki organiczne, w skład których wchodzą kwasy tłuszczowe nasycone i nienasycone oraz gliceryny różnego rodzaju. W zależności od rodzaju i właściwości olejów agresywność ich w stosunku do betonu jest różna. Olej izoluje dostęp wody do składników betonu, dlatego nie następuje dalsza hydratacja i przyrost wytrzymałości. Przesycenie betonu olejami powoduje wskutek obniżenia tarcia wewnętrznego tworzywa obniżenie...
