Fractional distillation
Short chain hydrocarbons
- Usefull
- Low boiling point
- Flamable
- Low viscosity (how easily it flows)
- High volality (how easily it turns into a gas)
Long chain hydrocarbons
- Not usefull
- Not very flamable
- High viscosity
- Low volality (how easily it turns into a gas)
We can seperate the fractions of crude oil by using fractional distillation.
- Vapourised crude oil is fed into the bottom…
