Objectives of the StudyThis investigatory send off determines the possibility of purifying used cooking oil using bank deposit method. The activated carbon was also used in the experiment to operate some dissolved substances in the oil. There were three different setups used in this study namely apparatus 1 ( depositary was done once) Setup 2 (sedimentation was done twice) and Setup 3 (sedimentation was done thrice). The purified oil was compared to mercantile oil in equipment casualty of color, odor, and clearness using acceptability test. viscosity test was also done in the laboratory. 3.The means of the samples were compared and revealed that purified oil had no significant difference to commercial cooking oil in terms of color/clearness and odor as the result of the acceptability test. Therefore, sedimentation is a possible method of purifying used cooking oil.
