Metalworking Fluid: Environmental Effects and Treatment Methods

Lada Mathurasa

Abstract

Metalworking fluid is widely used in the metal cutting process. There are four types which are straight oil, semisynthetic, synthetic, and soluble oil, a commonly used one. It consists of the oil, the emulsifiers, and the additives which are rust inhibitor, pH buffer, biocides, lubricants and anti-foamer. Diethanolamine and nitrate compounds used to control the pH can react to form nitrosamines. High temperatures can cause oil to decompose into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The use of triazine, a biocide, can release formaldehyde. These are carcinogens. The properties of soluble oil will be changed to be more toxic after use. Therefore, it should be properly disposed, especially soluble oil added chlorine compounds as a lubricant. Chemical and physical soluble oil treatment provide the way to utilize the soluble oil waste. Chemical methods include coagulation, electrocoagulation, adsorption, Fenton reaction. Physics methods include evaporation, freeze-thaw and membrane separation. The coagulation is considered suitable for Thailand because it is easy to operate and low cost.
