One of the main sources of all types of energy is from sun.. The sources like fossil fuels, etc r gonna sure disappear some years later.. also its utilisation now also creates serious impact on life of human beings...u can c in many places were its temperature is hike... so installation of other devices for purification s a hard tiring process. so the better option s to use the available source for the purification process will be a good one. so its a advantage...

Fractional distillation is a process used in order to separate the mixture of crude oil and 'break it down' into smaller fractions in order to obtain different products.

Fractional distillation seperates crude oil into:

Gasoline(Petrol)

Kerosene, Diesel Oil

Lubricating Oil

Fuel and Furnace

Paraffin Wax

Following are the distillation disadvantages of fractional distillation process

- Fractional distillation is a continuous process of distillation. It can not handle small quantities of material at regularly scheduled periods. It is not economical for small volumes productions

- Fractional distillation process being a continuous process has no flexibility. It is not simple in a fractional distillation to change from one type of feed to another type feed composition.

- Fractional distillation unit does not allow the use of standardized multi-purpose equipment for the production of a variety of products from the same plant.

- Because of huge size , huge hold up, and complex construction it is not easy to clean or sterilization of the equipment.

- Not preferable for processing of temperature-sensitive materials, because fractional distillation requires to maintain a minimum temperature necessary to condense the lowest-boiling component, resulting in higher operating temperature.

- Fractional distillation being a continuous process does not provide product integrity to be achieved: each batch of product can not be clearly identified in terms of the feeds involved and conditions of processing. This is particularly important in industries such as pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs.

How is crude oil separated into fractions?

The separation is possible by fractional distillation.


What is the advantage of simple distillation to fractional distillation?

Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.

How distillation efficiency can be improved in fractional distillation?

Depending on the boiling points of the various components in a complex mixture, the pure components can be obtained and the process is known as fractional distillation. The distillation efficiency can be further increased by increasing the fractional column surface area. The aim of fractional distillation is to achieve high purity of components.


Who is distillation different from fractional distillation?

Fractional distillation is applied when many components exist an the differences between boiling points are under 25 oC.


What is fractional distillation and why is it necessary?

Fractional distillation is a separation method based on the differences between boiling poins of components.
