Many efforts have been made over the years to minimize usage of mineral oil-based MWFs. This includes trail its alternatives, such as vegetable MWFs, nanofluids, etc. These alternatives shown comparable results MWFs in producing a better surface finish and machining efficiency. Apart from conventional flooding several alternative techniques developed by researchers or eliminate including dry ma...

In a household appliance plant, several rinse-free lubricating fluids have been used instead of neat mineral oils since 1994: mixtures of isoparaffinic hydrocarbons with 9 to 14 carbons per molecule. As such they denature keratin, irritate and defat the skin, and remove water from it. Work gloves have been worn over plastic gloves and separate, reusable, cotton inner gloves have been added to a...

INTRODUCTION Metalworking fluids (MWFs), which are widely used in metal working operations, can cause different adverse effects, e.g., dermal and respiratory disorders, and cancer. Evaluating workers' exposure to MWF mists and the effective factors in their dispersion were the purpose of this study. MATERIALS AND METHOD Seventy-five out of 300 workers working in metalworking workshops were ra...

11 12 The biological treatment of spent synthetic metalworking fluid (MWF) has been investigated in many studies, 13 with most reporting the presence of un-degraded components in the residual waste. In this study, we 14 investigated a hybrid approach to waste treatment of spent MWF, involving both physical treatment and 15 microbial degradation. The effect on biological degradation, of the remo...

Vegetable oils have been used as metalworking fluids (MWFs) for many years, particularly in small-scale operations and industries where environmental regulations are strict. Before the development of modern MWFs, vegetable were one most common lubricants tools. The use can be traced back to ancient civilizations such Egypt, Greece, Rome, olive oil was commonly lubricate metal tools weapons. Tod...
