Neat oils

Skin eontaet with metalworking fluids may eause skin irritation or a eontaet initant dermatitis. Contaet with neat oils may eause follieulitis (oil aene). Contaet with some aqueous-mix fluids may, depending upon the additives, e.g. bioeides, eause an allergie eontaet dermatitis. Formerly the use of unrefined mineral oils posed a risk of skin eaneer. 

Water-based coolants, as diluted and used in service, are much cheaper than neat oils, and they offer remarkable economic benefits in the applications to which they are best suited. (Neat oils, however, are preferred for some machining processes - usually involving severe operations - where they give overall production economies and reduced machine-tool maintenance.)... 

Some of the recently developed high-performance EP soluble oils have a cutting performance that almost matches that of additive-type neat oils, and they are particularly suitable for demanding operations in machine tools whose design allows the use of water-based fluids. 

Neat oil is the name given to an orthodox petroleum cutting fluid, whether or not it contains additives, to enhance cutting properties. Oils of this sort are available in a very wide variety, and many combinations of work piece material, machining characteristics and tooling requirement justify special formulations. The neat oils have lower specific heat than water, so they have to be fed to the cutting zone in copious amounts to provide the optimum cutting effect. 

For the more difficult operations, neat oils containing EP (extreme-pressure) additives have to be used. The EP cutting oils usually contain additives based on sulfur or chlorine, or combinations of them. The sulfur in EP oil can be present in two forms. In the inactive fluid, it is chemically combined with a fatty-oil additive, which is blended with mineral oil to produce sulfured fatty oil. The active version, on the other hand, contains sulfur in elemental form, dissolved in mineral oil the fluid is known as sulfured mineral oil. Chlorine is usually present only as chlorinated paraffin, which is blended sometimes singly with mineral oils and sometimes in combination with fatty oils and sulfured additives. 

Neat oils and water-based coolants eventually reach the end of their working lives, and then the user is faced with the problem of their correct disposal. Under no circumstances should neat oils and emulsions be discharged into streams or sewers. Some solutions can, however, be fed into the sewage system after further dilution - but only where permitted. 

Neat oil is pure oil with no or few impurities added. In aluminum forming its use is mostly as a lubricant.

We have used the polyamide fluorescence reaction in accelerated shelf life tests of fats and oils, either with the neat oils or with plates pre-dipped in cobalt chloride for acceleration.

It is significant that the reaction mixture was worked up by removal of the unreacted ester by hexane extraction and concentration of the aqueous layer to obtain the desired (i )-amino acid. The process has a high throughput and was easy to handle on a large scale. However, because of the nature of a batch process, the enzyme catalyst could not be effectively recovered, adding significantly to the cost of the product. In the further scale up to 100-kg quantity productions, the resolution process was performed using Sepracor s membrane bioreactor module. The enzyme was immobilized by entrapment into the interlayer of the hollow-fiber membrane. Water and the substrate amino ester as a neat oil or hexane solution were circulated on each side of the membrane. The ester was hydrolyzed enantioselectively by the enzyme at the membrane interface, and the chiral acid product... 

It is difficult to provide cost comparison data for the SET process vs. alternative technologies because of the wide variability of the waste that must be remediated (soil, sludge, neat, oils, building materials, DNAPLs, etc.) and the nature of the contaminants. Each situation must be examined individually. What can be said is that SET is cost-competitive to incineration. Several good cost and effectiveness comparison references for these technologies are available from the Federal Government web sites (www.frtr. gov/costper.html and www.lanl.gov/projects/etcap/intro.html).
