Petroleum is a mixture of several hydrocarbons. It also contains water salt and Rocky materials which cannot be used in this crude from either as a fuel or basic material to produce other useful components. Before put to use, it has to purified or refined. The process of separating the various components of petroleum from one another is known as the refining of petroleum. This is done by a process called fractional distillation which is based on the fact that the different components of petroleum have distinctly different boiling points.

In fractional distillation, crude petroleum is heated to a temperature of 400°C or slightly above in a furnace.

Answer 2

ʜᴇyᴀ ᴅᴇᴀʀ!!

we need energy for cooking for running factories for transportation and so on two major source of energy at present are coal and petroleum these are termed fossil fuels and their reserve under are fast depleting The process of separating the various components of petroleum from one another is known as the refining of petroleum.. it is estimated that at current rates of conꜱᴜᴍption .

the reserves of Petroleum exist within 150 years coal and petroleum are characterized as conventional source of energy because these have been in use since long this day is non conventional source of energy such a solar system and nuclear energy tidal energy of wind energy are being tired but none has proved to be commercial vehicle till now nuclear energy has its own safety problem due to radiation .
