Abstract: As a result of the changes that occurs the lubricant oil during their use, aged engine oils tend to differ in chemical and physical composition from virgin oil. We have chosen for study theses variations (changes) the oil that is the most sell in Algeria for cars with engine gasoline. For this investigation the oil was examined at different kilometres. A combination of oil acidity and deposit formation were used to follow the ageing. Our results were compared to standards, which helped us further refine our experiences to draw conclusions about the future for the waste oil collected.

Abstract: The search for new sources of renewable energy order to minimize environmental impacts has led the scientists to develop new alternatives, such as the use of recycling of frying oils to produce biodiesel. The utilization of fuels of agricultural origin in the cycle diesel engines is a good alternative to reduce dependence on importation petroleum, since these fuels are a renewable source of energy. The utilization of biodiesel as biofuel is a contribution to the environment, reducing the qualitative and quantitative form levels of environmental pollution. However, these oils should go through a process of decontamination and decoloration up the stage of chemical conversion which is used clay to lighten the oil. This study aimed to characterize clay of Paraíba to be used in the clearing of frying oil. It was observed through the technique of kinematic viscosity the clays show good results in treatment used vegetable oils.
