How coal and fossil fuel is processed and refined?

Answer 1

Coal is extracted through mining, crushed, and washed to remove impurities. Fossil fuels like oil and natural gas are extracted from underground reservoirs or wells, then refined through processes like fractional distillation to separate different components based on boiling points. Both coal and fossil fuels can also undergo additional treatment steps depending on their intended use, such as blending, desulfurization, or conversion into products like gasoline or electricity.
