How is Crude Oil formed? | -This is simply formed via the Buried Remains of Plants and Animals, and takes Millions of Years that needs Temperatures and Pressure to be Present as well |
What exactly is Crude Oil? | -This is just Mixture of different Hydrocarbons [Fractions with Alkanes pretty much] |
How can you Separate the Crude Oil? | -This can be done by Fractional Distillation
-The oil is Heated, turning it in a Cluster Gas that will then enter the Fractionating Column
-Then there is a Temperature Gradient that pretty much gets Cooler at the Top Part
-Larger Hydrocarbons have Bigger Boling Points meaning they will turn into Liquids and drain out of the Fractional Column EARILER
-Smaller Hydrocarbons have Lower Boiling Points meaning they will go Higher up the Column and Liquify later on
-This then gives you a Mixture, that's in Different Fractions |
What uses do Crude Oil have? Say how many Carbons are in that Use | -LPG [Liquefied Petroleum Gas] Made from Propane and Butane [3 Carbons ish]
-Petrol [8 Carbons ish]
-Naphtha [Raw Material that's used in Many Industry Processes [10 Carbons ish
-Kerosene [Aviation Fuel] [15 Carbons ish
-Diesel [20 Carbons ish]
-Oil [40 Carbons ish]
-Bitumen [Tarmac pretty much :)] [70 Carbons ish] |
