Abstract

Used lubricating oil is contacted with particles of a solid adsorption resin comprising at least 0.1 cc per gram of pores of diameter in the range of 6 to 300 angstroms. The resin is preferably a porous polycondensate or cross-linked copolymer comprising pyridyl or hydroxy groups, for example a polycondensate of phenol and formaldehyde. The resin may be reactivated by rinsing with an organic solvent such as an alcohol, a ketone or a chlorinated hydrocarbon.
