Abstract:
Lubricating oils are composed of base oil and additives. To satisfy the high specific demands accompanying the development of machinery and automobiles, synthetic base oils and various additives are used. Generally, since complicated pre-treatment is necessary for analysis, extending the time and increasing the effort required to obtain results. If analysis without pre-treatment is possible, it will be useful for research and development. We conducted this study using TDP/DART-MS without any pre-treatment. Additives and base oil in the lubricating oils were analyzed respectively. Moreover, this analysis method could be applied to evaluate the degradation degree.
