                Appeal No.  2005-0222                                                  Page 6                  
                Application No.  09/923,629                                                                    

                taught by the prior art, or to go to the upper limit of the time range taught by the           
                prior art, to determine the optimum values, and the rejection is reversed.                     
                      Finally, claims 4 and 5 stand rejected as obvious over the previous                      
                combination as further combined with Hernandez.  As Hernandez is relied upon                   
                for teaching that silicate solutions are useful in the removal of free fatty acids in          
                crude oils such as crude vegetable oils, it does not remedy the deficiencies of the            
                previous combination, and this rejection is also reversed.
