The various components of crude oil have different sizes, weights and boiling temperatures so the first step is to separate these components. Because they have different boiling temperatures, they can be separated easily by a process called fractional distillation. The steps of fractional distillation are as follows:
1. You heat the mixture of two or more [...]
