industrial plant for refining materials
A large factory where things like oil, sugar, or metals are cleaned and changed so they can be used.
用法模式：
a refinery for [material]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "refinery" with "refinement" or "to refine". "Refinery" is a place (a factory), while "refinement" is the process or the improvement itself, and "to refine" is the verb. Another mistake is using it without mentioning what is refined; in natural English, it is usually specified, as in "oil refinery" or "sugar refinery."
