There are four generally recognized methods of separating undersirable portions of a fluid from that fluid: mechanical, which is filtration, settling or centrifuging; electrostatic precipitation; chemical, such as solvent extraction precipitation or adsorption; and thermal, such as distillation and freeze drying. Techniques of separation as applied to fats and oils are discussed in this paper.
