Technologies to Manage Used Automotive Oil Filters in Iran: A Review Study

Background & Aims of the Study: Given that modern society is a rapidly moving civilization, the production of automobiles resulted in a massive quantity of Used Automotive Oil Filters (UAOFs). So handling the waste stream secures value-added to the national assets and underpins the demands in other sectors. The steel request is highly rising with the population growth, and dismantling and recycling UAOFs produces enough scrap steel to be retrieved in similar applications. Experts of this sector have forgotten this resource. The present review sought the UAOF recycling technologies from the initial step of the project to the recent developments in this area. Also, plasma technology application was addressed as the new technology posed and noticed its modern procedure in the UAOF recycling operation based on the existing technologies. Materials and Methods: In this review, the related articles were searched and studied using key relevant words. Also, we used valuable existing references in this regard. The industrial data employed in the present review refers to the project identification steps expressed and investigated by evaluator teams in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) plan. Results: The collected results and concepts emphasized the redesign and reproduction of UAOF and employing frequently recycled scrap parts in the steel manufacturing operation. Conclusion: The plasma technology enhances the adhesion, wettability, electro-conductivity, and many other characteristics of adsorbents within AOF and generates value-added products and nano-metal oxides from scrap metals of UAOF
