Fractional distillation is useful for separating a mixture of substances with minor differences in boiling points. The minor difference means the gap between the boiling points should be less than 25 Kelvin.

It is used for the distillation of crude oil in the petroleum industry thereby resulting in the manufacturing of gasoline, lubricating oil, diesel, and plastics.

Why the Phrase ‘Black Gold’?

This is because when crude oil is extracted from the land it is black in color. This resource is compared to gold due to its valuable properties and worth too. Its many components have a lot of commercial value. Such a substance is rare on earth. Even its extraction is expensive. Crude oil is jet black before purification but after purification, it turns golden in color; therefore, it's tagged as Gold.
