ABSTRACT
In this project work, Enugu clay sample from Enugu State was collected, dried, size reduced and activated with supehuric acid (H2504). The activated adsorbents was used for oil refining. A percentage colour reduction as high as 94% was obtained during bleating of the palm oil. This performance of the local clays compares very favourably with that of the commercial adsorbents used in vegetable oil refining. The deodorized oil, with a 99% colour reduction, compares favourably in quality with the commercial reined palm oil a in the market.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Nigeria is a country blessed with so many mineral resources such mineral resources are palm oil, precious stoner, crude oil etc through which the country earns its foreign exchange.
Most of these mineral resources are usually reined inorder to obtain desire product. various types of equipment are used for the returning process which include fractional distillation, crystallization etc.
The essence of refining most of these raw materials is that, they contain a lot of impurities, which needed to be removed, if the material should be consumed comfortably or used defectively as a raw material. The impurities contain in most of these raw materials reduces the purity valve of the products, and after refining, lost valve one replenished using suitable treatments.
