OIL AND GREASE

Purpose:
The aim is to measure the dissolved or emulsified grease or oil amount in the water samples by utilizing from the partition-gravimetric method.

Introduction:
Oil and grease is an important parameter for water quality and safety. Regulatory bodies worldwide set limits in order to control the amount oil and grease entering thewater reservoirs or the sea through industrial discharges and also limit the amount present in drinking water.
The partition – gravimetric method involves extraction of dissolved or emulsified oiland grease from water by using an extracting solvent. The common solvents used aren-hexane, methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and trichlorotrifluoroethane.
Any filterable solvent-soluble substances (e.g., elemental sulfur, complex aromatic compounds, hydrocarbon derivatives of chlorine, sulfur, and nitrogen, and certain organic dyes) that are extracted and recovered are defined as oil and grease. No known solvent will dissolve selectively only oil and grease. Heavier residuals of petroleum may contain a significant portion of materials that are not solvent-extractable.Oil and grease has the natural tendency to float on the water surface under quiescent conditions, as the density of oil and grease is usually less than one. Not all the oil and grease is in liquid or solid form. Appreciable amounts remain in a finely divided emulsified form.
Procedure and Observations:

At first, nearly 1 L of sample is collected in a wide glass beaker and sample level in the beaker is marked for further measurement of sample volume. Then, the acidity is set to pH 2 by adding nearly 5 ml hydrochloric acid solution, and the sample is transferred into the separatory funnel. Sample

    Water cannot remove grease water is polar and grease is non-polar. They are immiscible. So when they are mixed they stay separate. But when soap or detergent is applied to the grease stain with water, the substances are allowed to mix. In more scientific terms soap molecules have ionic “heads” that dissolve in water and non polar “tails” that dissolve in grease.…

    Effects of Oil Spills

    There are 3 main ways to separate oil from water and 3 absorbents that can be used. The first way to remove oil is A belt, hose or disc, moves through a layer of oil, which causes the oil to adhere to the surface and be carried off. The second way is to Coalesce which is when smaller oil drops in an oil/water mixture will separate slowly or not at all. Coalescing media is placed in an oil separator to catch and accumulate the finer oil drops then merge them into larger drops that separate quickly. The third way is where the three absorbents come in which is Gravity separation, which is a fancy way of saying the oil and water layers are prominent. Two of three of the absorbents are fairly fast at removing oil. The third, well helps decompose the oil faster. The first absorbent is human hair, most people can see why because it grasp onto oil and keeps it but that way is kind of messy. The second absorbent is Saw dust which is a little cleaner then the hair but just about as messy. The third way which dose not really absorb as much as decompose the oil is using pure nitrogen and phosphorus to form little Tar balls which aren’t as deadly to the environment as the liquid crude oil. But no there is a forth absorbent let to be endorsed by the government. It is a polymer called WENV-250 and it was developed by a scientist to remove oil more defiantly. The polymer is non toxic so it may be used to put on birds feathers then simply pulled…
