Why can crude oil be separated by fractional distillation
Crude oil is a complex mixture of different compounds that need to be separated to maximise their use. In this experiment you will explore the process of fractional 6. Different hydrocarbons in crude oil have different boiling points, so they can be separated by fractional ______. separation distillation partitioning osmosis. 7. used to make the separation in one single column, which operates under a The crude oil feed to a fractional distillation tower is heated by flow through pipe
