Chapter 22.5, Problem 34LC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation- To determine the first process in the refining of petroleum.

Concept introduction-

Petroleum is a mixture of many hydrocarbons with 1 carbon to 40 carbon atoms. This crude oil is not very useful until it is refined, and its component is separated. The refining process is very complex but the following are the basic steps:

  1. Distillation
  2. Cracking
  3. Reforming

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 34LC

The first process in the refining of petroleum is distillation.

Explanation of Solution

The refining of petroleum mainly occurs in three stages as follows:

  1. Distillation
  2. Cracking
  3. Reforming

In the first step of distillation, the crude oil began to separate into its component based on their boiling point. A fractioning column is used, where crude oil is heated, and the most volatile component is condensed at the top while the least volatile component settles at the bottom.
