I. Purpose of Refining:

Oil refining typically refers to the refined treatment of crude oil. The presence of impurities in crude oil not only affects the edible value and safe storage of the oil but also creates difficulties in deep processing. However, during the refining process, it is not necessary to remove all "impurities" from the oil. The aim is to remove as many impurities as possible that have adverse effects on usage, storage, and industrial production, such as gossypol, phospholipids, proteins, sugars, mucilages, metals, water, etc. Meanwhile, beneficial "impurities" like tocopherols and sterols are retained. Therefore, the purpose of oil refining is to remove unwanted and harmful impurities from the oil according to different requirements and applications, meeting the national standards for the quality of finished oil; improving refining efficiency; creating favorable conditions for deep processing; enhancing the storage stability of oil products; and increasing the comprehensive utilization value of by-products.

II. Refining Methods:

Based on the reaction mechanism and process characteristics, the methods used in oil refining can be roughly categorized as mechanical methods, chemical methods, and physicochemical methods. Common mechanical methods include sedimentation, filtration, and centrifugal separation. Common chemical methods include acid refining, alkali neutralization, oxidation-reduction, and esterification. Physicochemical methods include hydration, adsorption, water vapor distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, and freeze crystallization.

Oil refining is a relatively complex and flexible process. In a specific refining step, several different methods may be combined to complete the process. For example, alkali refining to remove free fatty acids involves a typical chemical method. However, the soapstock produced after the neutralization reaction will adsorb other impurities and pigments in the crude oil, which is a typical physicochemical method. Additionally, the oil soap is generally separated through gravity settling or a centrifuge, which is a typical mechanical method. Therefore, most refining processes cannot be strictly categorized. It is only through the scientific and effective combination of various methods that refining efficiency can be improved and the purpose of refining achieved.

III. Refining Grades:

Adjusting process parameters and selecting different refining methods according to the type and quality of crude oil can produce first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade oils.
