Crude oil is made up mainly of
hydrocarbons.
Crude oil is
heated
in a chamber
Turns into a
gas
Put into
fractionating column
which is hot at the
bottom
The gases
rise
up the column
When they reach a region with a
lower
temperature than their boiling point they
condense.
The hydrocarbons with the
longest
chains have the
highest
boiling points so they
condense
fastest.
The shorter hydrocarbon chains have
low
boiling points so rise to the top of the column before
condensing.
In
fractional distillation
some
hydrocarbons
are so short that they stay
gases
the whole time.
A
feedstock
is a
raw material
used to provide
reactants
for an industrial reaction.
A
petrochemical
is a substance made from
crude oil
, via
chemical reactions.
The
hydrocarbons
in crude oil are
feedstocks
and the things we take from them are
petrochemicals.
