Abstract:
The present article adopts wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to measure elements of P, S and C1 in 98 engine oil samples from America, Germany and Japan and including SM, SN, CI and CH API grade. Proportional relationship of Zn/P, S/Mo and Ca/Mg illustrated the correlation between experimental data and additive contents. The experiment indicates that the concentration levels of Zn, P, Ca, S, Mg and Mo were 0.09%-0.17%, 0.07%-0.15%, 0.13%-0.43%, 0.20%-0.47%, 0.04%-0.15% and 0.01%-0.05% respectively, among which the Ca, S, P and Zn were the main elements of engine oil, Mg and Mo exist in high quality level engine oil, while Nb, W, Ti and Na were present in individual engine oil.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
