ABSTRACT

This study aims to use used cooking oil as shoe polish rather than just throwing it away (which can cause drainage clogging). Calamansi juice is also added to add more viscosity to the product. This study also promotes natural and organic products.

INTRODUCTION

Oil is one of the basic needs in our home. Yet, it is very expensive nowadays. Now, as a student researcher, I want to conduct an experiment on how to use used cooking oil in a very convenient, practical and useful way. That’s why I chose it to become a shoe polish. Since oil can become a drainage clogger when thrown in the sink, why not recycling it though some colloidal particles are still visible due to frequent frying?

Shoe polish is widely used by people especially by students, office workers, etc/ on their leather shoes. But the commercial shoe polishes were made of chemicals which can harm human’s health if used recklessly.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

An oil is a substance that is in a viscous liquid state ("oily") at ambient temperatures or slightly warmer, and is both hydrophobic (immiscible with water) and lipophilic (miscible with other oils, literally). This general definition includes compound classes with otherwise unrelated chemical structures, properties, and uses, including vegetable oils, petrochemical oils, and volatile essential oils. Oil is a nonpolar substance.

Cooking oil is purified fat of plant origin, which is liquid at room temperature.
Some of the many different kinds of edible vegetable oils include: olive oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil, pumpkin seed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, grape seed oil, sesame oil, argan oil and rice bran oil. Many other

    Recommendations for Weatherpruf Shoe Waxes

    On the product side, Weatherpruf can use brand extension strategy. A brand extension extends a current name to new or modified products in new category. For example, Swatch spread from watches into telephones and Honda stretched its company name to cover different products such as its cars, motorcycles, marine engines and snowmobiles. As solid shoe waxes was already a brand product, Weatherpruf can extend to produce liquid polish. The reasons are: first, liquid shoe polishes offered a quick, clean method of improving shoe appearance and was particularly welcomed by parents as it helped to make scuffed and worn children's shoes look respectable again. Second, the market for liquid polishes is growing at 20% per year and it is expected to rise to 30% of this market next year. Third, entering a new product market will extend customer base. Finally, a liquid polish can be used on a wide variety of products. For instance, it can be used for the appearance of leather products beyond footwear such as chairs, sofas, briefcases, etc which may attract more customers. Weatherpruf can also increase the product diversity. For example, it can increase the colours of solid waxes not limited to blacks, light tan and dark tan in order to meet those customers who like solid waxes but don't want these 3 colours.…

    Effects of Oil Spills

    There are 3 main ways to separate oil from water and 3 absorbents that can be used. The first way to remove oil is A belt, hose or disc, moves through a layer of oil, which causes the oil to adhere to the surface and be carried off. The second way is to Coalesce which is when smaller oil drops in an oil/water mixture will separate slowly or not at all. Coalescing media is placed in an oil separator to catch and accumulate the finer oil drops then merge them into larger drops that separate quickly. The third way is where the three absorbents come in which is Gravity separation, which is a fancy way of saying the oil and water layers are prominent. Two of three of the absorbents are fairly fast at removing oil. The third, well helps decompose the oil faster. The first absorbent is human hair, most people can see why because it grasp onto oil and keeps it but that way is kind of messy. The second absorbent is Saw dust which is a little cleaner then the hair but just about as messy. The third way which dose not really absorb as much as decompose the oil is using pure nitrogen and phosphorus to form little Tar balls which aren’t as deadly to the environment as the liquid crude oil. But no there is a forth absorbent let to be endorsed by the government. It is a polymer called WENV-250 and it was developed by a scientist to remove oil more defiantly. The polymer is non toxic so it may be used to put on birds feathers then simply pulled…

    Oil Positive and Negative Effects

    Oil is a natural resource that comes from beneath the earth’s crust; it is trapped in pockets under the earth. Finding oil trapped underground is very complicated and costly, it takes millions of dollars to drill a well and only a few are successful. Oil travels upwards from the rock in which the oil is formed, when the oil meets a cap rock (a rock with no spaces in-between the grains) is it trapped. Soon after when oil pockets are found, a well is drilled so that the oil can travel up to the well and be retrieved. After the oil is retrieved it must be separated as the oil is a mixture of water, crude oil and gas and to transport the oil safely you must first separate all the different elements/compounds. After all of this the oil is safely transported to and from countries, across seas, wherever the oil is needed.…

    The Effect of Oil Mill Machinery’s Heating on Oil

    If the oil processing machinery have heat on oil, then the change of oil viscosity and oil binding. Steam heating effect of the process of speculation, make the billet in high temperature, and weaken the enhanced oil thermal motion of molecules and molecular cohesion, resulting in green oil viscosity and surface tension reduction, weakening the binding of grease and part of the green gel and enhance the mobility of the oil, oil get rid of protein hydrophobic adsorption force and to create the conditions to overcome the flow friction resistance. This change makes the oil mill machinery easier to separate the oil from the oil when the oil is pressed. Chemical changes of oil when oil mill machinery processes oil. In the temperature range used in the process of steaming and frying, it is impossible to make the oil produce profound chemical changes. But because oil is film shaped in the blank surface broad, steaming wok especially when heated contact with oxygen in the air will make the oil oxidation, resulting in oil peroxide value increased. In the oil mill machinery’s cooking process may also produce oxygen acid, make oil acid value increase, also may be due to the binding reaction or some low molecular weight fatty acid is distilled, the oil acid value decreased production of fatty acids and other substances.…
