  • Sorbent treating of lubricating oils to remove haze precursors
    Patent number: 6468418
    Abstract: A base oil feed having a tendency to form a haze at ambient or sub-ambient temperatures is contacted with a solid adsorbent to remove at least a portion of the haze precursors, thereby reducing the haze-forming tendency of the base oil feed.
