  • PRODUCING REFINED PLANT OILS FROM WASHED CRUDE PLANT OIL
    Publication number: 20140018560
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of refined oils. In particular, the present invention relates to refined plant oils substantially free of chlorinated contaminants, such as monochloropropanediol (MCPD), in particular 3-MCPD di-esters, and to a process to produce such oils. To achieve this, crude oil is liquid-liquid extracted to remove chlorine donors before it is further refined.
