Waxes are separated from crude oils in a process called solvent dewaxing. A limited number of crude oils are suitable for processing in the lube oil refineries that run this process. These crude oils must have a high wax content in the original crude, resulting in a high pour point, making these types of crude oils difficult to extract and process in other refinery units. See the excellent link below entitled: "The Evolution of Base Oil Technology"
Although methanol can be produced using a number of raw materials (feedstocks), natural gas is preferred.
Crude oil is split into fractions using fractional distillation The crude oil is heated and separated based on boiling points. This process produces more Bitumen and other heavier fractions than lighter fractions such as diesel, naphtha and kerosene. To produce more fuel, catalytic cracking is used. In this process heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into lighter ones; For example hexane an alkane, it is converted in to butane and ethene. C6H14 -> C2H4 + C4H10
Fractional Distillation
yah ofcourse...........!! den frm which process will naphtha be made rather than crude oil..!! u stupid!!
Yup! Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Poly(ethene)
That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.
There are many methods. A few are listed below: 1. by the hydrogenation of ethene. 2. by the hydrogenation of ethyne. 3. by the reaction of methyl halide in presence of sodium (Wurtz reaction).
Yes, it is possible.
It is made by a process called polymerization, this is where they take lots of monomers (in this case ethene) and combine them together using an addition reaction. This is only possible in monomer where there is a double bond as to add them the double bond has to break for there to be enough room on the carbon for the new monomer. This process is done millions of times and is finally makes polythene which is used to make bin liners and poly bags. This is the proses: Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Polythene
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethene. It is a macro molecule.

This question is misguided. Crude oil is first processed by heating it, which separates it into simpler mixtures called fractions which are of considerably more use than the original crude. This process is called fractional distillation, but it is NOT breaking anything down, merely sorting out substances which are already there. Some of the fractions, often those with higher boiling points may be broken down by cracking, a chemical process which also uses heat, often with a catalyst, and which produces smaller molecules such as those of petrol and ethene.
no

You can separate substances in a crude oil by distillation process. But you have to know what are the boiling points of each of the substance in the crude oil.
