Abstract
Waste Engine oil (WEO) thermal degradation was conducted at temperature levels from 450 °C to 575 °C. We studied the impact of temperature on oil, char, and gas yield. The effect of temperature on the characteristic properties of char such as surface morphology, elemental composition was perceived. It was observed that the temperature has positive upshots on the decomposition of some of the metal content in the WEO, not for all. The existence of metals in the char was observed. The incidence of high-temperature hydrocarbons along with other compounds were confirmed from the FTIR analysis.
