By Adam Harrod
introduction to the mighty world of distillation
Simple distillation is used to separate water from a dissolved salt
Fractional distillation is used to separate more volatile liquids from less volatile liquids
purification of a mixture often involves a combination of methods
fuels
a good fuel release a lot of heat energy per gram, is non polluting and is easy to transport
the fractional distillation of petroleum provides us with a variety of liquids and gaseous fuels
the products of the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel are carbon dioxide and water
petroleum
petroleum is separated into different fraction by fractional distillation
each fraction has hydrocarbons with similar boiling points
the hydrocarbon in petroleum are separated by fractional distillation because of the difference in their boiling points
each fraction obtained from petroleum has a particular use
