What are some of the fuels we use - extracted from crude oil?
Gasoline (petrol) Paraffin Diesel (DERV) Gas oil (Heating oil)
What is the process inside desalter in oil refinories?
The main process that is used in oil refineries is fractional distillation. In this process several liquids are separated each at a particular temperature. In this process materials like butane, petrol, diesel, kerosene, heating oil, paraffin wax. greases and lubricating oils, bunker fuel oil, asphalt, etc. are separated. Other processes are catalytic cracking (which breaks large molecules into smaller ones), catalytic reforming (which joins small molecules to form larger ones), etc.
Where is paraffin wax found?
Paraffin wax is produced by refining petroleum. All crude oil contains paraffin, and one of the byproducts of the refining process is a wax-and-oil mix called slack wax. When they separate the wax and oil, they get paraffin. So...paraffin wax comes from every country that has an oil refinery.
Why is wax soluble in paraffin oil?
it is liquid
How paraffin is made?
Most candles are made of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is made from petroleum in the oil refining process. It is naturally clear and odorless when burned, though most candles include dyes and fragrances.

Is paraffin a by-product of petrol?
Yes, it is true.
How do humans use hydrocarbons?
Calor gas, petrol, naptha, paraffin, diesel, fuel oil, lubricating oil and bitumen all come out of a fractionating column
What are the important uses of crude oil?
Crude oil can be refined in to a multitude of chemicals: a short list would be petrol, diesel, paraffin, plastics, solvents, and so on.
What is the name of fossil fuels that cant be identified?
Petrol kerosene bitumen diesel paraffin wax lubricating oil l p g
How to seperate crude oil to diesel?
Crude oil is often a dark, sticky liquid that cannot be used without changing it. The first part of refining crude oil is to heat it until it boils. The boiling liquid is separated into different liquids and gases in a distillation column. These liquids are used to make petrol, paraffin, diesel fuel etc.
How do you melt parrafin wax?
Oil is separated from paraffin by fractional distillation.It is done by fractional distillation.
What should a diesel engine oil look like?
Fuel or lubrication? Lubricant looks like petrol engine lubricant, fuel is like paraffin/kerosine.
What is the difference between paraffin oil and oil?
Paraffin oil is a derivative of petroleum. In solid forms, paraffin oil is a solid with 20-40 atom molecules. Petroleum is not a solid.
What is the state of paraffin oil at a temperature of 450?
Paraffin oil is a gas at 450 oC.
What is the Difference between paraffin oil and paraffin liquid?
Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid that is used as a lubricant, when this is melted down it becomes a paraffin liquid. Paraffin oil is used in cosmetics and medical settings and is a highly refined mineral oil.
Can paraffin oil be used to produce olive oil?
No. Paraffin is mineral oil (petroleum). Olive oil is only made from olives.
