Abstract
Provided is a method of purifying oil by which nano particles are effectively removed from the oil. According to the oil purifying method, oil is effectively purified at a high temperature using a carbon nanostructure-metal or -metal oxide composite nano porous membrane composed of a carbon nanostructure-metal composite
Claims20
A method of purifying oil comprising purification of impurities from the oil using a porous membrane in which a plurality of carbon nanostructure-metal or -metal oxide composites are interconnected to form pores.
A porous membrane for purifying oil, which has pores formed by interconnection of a plurality of carbon nanostructure-metal or -metal oxide composites, and in which a basis weight of the carbon nanostructure-metal or -metal oxide composites ranges from 0.05 mg/cm2 to 10 mg/cm2.
An apparatus for purifying oil comprising:
- an oil inflow pipe into which the oil is introduced;
- an oil purification unit that purifies the oil introduced from the oil inflow pipe and has a porous membrane containing carbon nanostructure-metal or -metal oxide composites;
- an oil outflow pipe through which the oil purified by the oil purification unit is discharged;
- and
- an oil heating unit that heats the oil.
A system for purifying oil comprising:
- a machine having an oil inlet and an oil outlet;
- an oil inflow pipe that is fluid-connected with the oil outlet and introduces the oil discharged from the machine into an oil purification unit;
- the oil purification unit that purifies the oil introduced through the oil inflow pipe and includes a porous membrane containing carbon nanostructure-metal or -metal oxide composites;
- and
- an oil outflow pipe that is fluid-connected with the oil inlet and introduces the oil purified by the oil purification unit into the machine.
