The aim of this study is to investigate the friction properties of waste cooking oil with banana peels broth. The waste cooking oil (WCO) was treated using a physical technique. Several weight percentages of 15 wt.%, 30 wt.% and 45 wt.% of banana peels broth was dispersed in waste cooking oil using ultrasonic homogenizer. Span 80, as a surfactant, were added to the blends. The tribological test was performed using a four-ball tribometer according to the ASTM standards. At early stage, between 0-1200 seconds, it was found that the addition of banana peels broth reduces the friction coefficient. However, only 30 wt.% of banana peels broth shows a stable value until 2600 seconds and less wear occurred before the oil film breakdown and consequently increase the friction coefficient. As a conclusion, this study proposes that the banana peels broth could improves the tribological properties of WCO due to the ability to act as an

    Related Studies Local: In cartoon shows, banana peels are commonly present when characters in the show are about to slip, and some scientists wondered if this is true. A scientific research was conducted about this matter and states that it is possible to slip when stepping on a banana peel-since the banana peel decreases the friction of the shoe sole by one-fifth of it. (J. Ballini, 2014) According to Liesl Clark, banana peels can also be natural alternative sources of shoe polish, teeth whitener

    Literature review It is common knowledge that if waste is not disposed in the correct manner it badly affects the environment and then in turn animals and human beings are affected as we depend on the environment for survival. 1. Source 1: Landfills and hazardous waste sites I personally cannot begin to imagine life with landfills or dumping sites. If we had no landfills where would all the waste that is produced on a daily basis by households, firms, factories and companies go? How dirty
