ENVIRONMENTALLY TOLERABLE LUBRICANTS

Sažetak Ekološki prihvatljiva maziva su ona, koja će u kontaktu s okolišem uzrokovati minimum štetnog djelovanja, i kod proizvodnje i primjene i kod zbrinjavanja otpada. Jedan od uvjeta ekološke prihvatljivosti je biološka razgradljivost maziva. Pored biološke razgradljivosti potrebna su i ekotoksikološka ispitivanja na bakterije, alge i ribe te određivanje bioakumulacije maziva.Abstract Ecologically acceptable lubricants are those that when in contact with the environment cause minimal detrimental effects, both in the process of production and application as well as in the phase of waste disposal. The biodegradability of lubricants is one of the conditions of their ecological acceptability. Along with the biodegradability condition, an ecotoxicological testing on bacterias, sea weeds (algae) and fish is necessary to determine the bioaccumulation of lubricants
