What do you mean writing "surface oxidation kinetics"? And moreover, "comprehensive set of reactions" is rather the mechanism of the oxidation process, not its kinetics.

In case of fat oxidation, the simplest kinetic equation is of the form rf = kcf (lumped form). However, the experimental verification is necessary. Regards,

hi,

what's the nature of those oils?

regards

The goal is to estimate cleaning process for machine oils and residuals left on different surfaces during manufacturing process.

By kinetics, perhaps I meant somewhat similar to these two papers:

Article Mechanistic Modeling of Lubricant Degradation. 1. Structure−...

maybe you can browse this one

Rate constants of oxidation of unsaturated fatty esters studied by chemiluminescence - Chemistry and Physics of Lipids (2012)

Thanks a lot Emmanuel, this is a very good find.

I understand more or less. Chemical reactions in the thin layer of lubricant oil presumably without concentration gradients in it. The simultaneous oxidation and degradation of the lubricant oil ingredients at unknown temperature. Unknown compounds included in the lubricant oil, but probably also additives that improve its quality. And in addition, you write about residuals on the cleaned surface.

You can analyze each component separately, but a lot easier, as in the first attached publication, groups of components with similar properties. This publication suggests too that the individual reactions of the component groups are the first order reactions. There is also information on the possible reaction scheme of groups of ingredients. This is a big help, but without kinetic data on the individual characteristics of your raw material you will not do much. Can you find such data in publications? - I do not know. Rather, you face tedious experimental study using methods adapted to your process conditions and an even more difficult interpretation of the test results. Good luck.
