 abstract={Waste lubricating oil (WLO) is the most significant liquid hazardouswaste, and indiscriminate disposal of waste lubricating oil creates a high risk to the environment and ecology. Present investigation emphasizes the re-refining of used automobile engine oil using the extraction-flocculation approach to reduce environmental hazards and convert the waste to energy. The extraction-flocculation process was modeled and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), artificial neural network (ANN), and genetic algorithm (GA). The present study assessed parametric effects of refining time, refining temperature, solvent to waste oil ratio, and flocculant dosage. Experimental findings showed that the percentage of yield of recovered oil is to the tune of 86.13%. With the Central Composite Design approach, the maximum percentage of extracted oil is 85.95%, evaluated with 80 minutes of refining time, 50.17 °C refining temperature, 7:1 solvent to waste oil ratio and flocculant dosage of 3 g/kg of solvent and 86.71% with 79.97 minutes refining time, 55.53 °C refining temperature, 4.89:1 g/g solvent to waste oil ratio, 2.99 g/kg of flocculant concentration with Artificial Neural Network. A comparison shows that the ANN gives better results than the CCD approach. Physico-chemical properties of the recovered lube oil are comparable with the properties of fresh lubricating oil.},
