Preliminary Study of Ozone Utilization in Elimination of Bacterial Contamination in Metalworking Fluids

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are used during machining to prolong the life of the tool, carry away debris, and protect the surfaces of work pieces. During their lifetime they are prone to intensive microbial deterioration. Microbial contamination can be a problem, primarily because of potentional adverse effect to the operators health and effect on a fluid quality, performance and economics. Bactericides are added to control the growth of micro-organisms. The paper deals with possible utilization of ozone for sterilization of MWFs to avoid presence of biocides. There were tested 16 MWFs for their reaction to ozone application in extreme conditions (concentration of MWF 1% (v/v), ozone concentration 15 g hour-1, application of ozone 4 hours). After, was realized pilot sanitation of selected in-use MWF for elimination of presence bacterias by applying lower concentration of O3, there were measured few parameters to control the quality of treatment fluid.
