DEFINITION

Classification: 208/260

(under subclass 257) Processes wherein aluminum oxide or a natural caly is employed.

(1) Note. This subclass contains, for example, manipulative processes of removing gums and gum formers by polymerizing the olefinic constituents using solid contact agents such as alumina or natural clays as the catalyst and then removing the polymer formed from the oil.
