Fractional Distillation
...
1 of 10
Fractional distillation
Separating crude oil using the different boiling points of alkane fractions
2 of 10
Fraction
Alkanes that all have similar boiling point (and therefore chain length)
3 of 10
Fractional distillation - Ordered:
...
4 of 10
1.
The column is cooler at the top than the bottom
5 of 10
2.
The crude oil is heated to evaporate it
6 of 10
3.
Vapours rise and as they rise the vapours cool
7 of 10
4.
As they cool the fractions condense at their boiling points, and leave the column
8 of 10
5.
Large hydrocarbons have high boiling points so condense at the bottom
9 of 10
6.
Small hydrocarbons have lower boiling points so condense at the top
