M. Tech. Chemistry. / Methods developed for the analysis of used oil can play a vital role in monitoring the condition of engines and may help to improve overall equipment effectiveness. Quantification of trace elements in used lubricating oil forms a vital part in monitoring engine conditions and impact on the environment. The main objective of this work is to investigate methods used for the accurate determination of trace elements in lubricating oils. In this study, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used for the determination of trace elements (Ag, Ba, Cu, Mn and Ni) in lubricating oils.
