A new refining technique is described in which the normal earth‐bleaching process is replaced by a treatment of the neutral oil, in light petroleum solution, on a column of activated alumina. The products are generally of somewhat improved color and have considerably longer keeping times compared with conventional oils. The application of the process on the semi‐large seale is described.
