The bottom is where the compounds with the highest boiling points are found. The ones with the lowest boiling points will be found at the top of the column.

How does a fractionating column separate crude oil into different parts?

The fractionating column takes advantage of the fact that the different parts (fractions), which form the mixture known as crude oil, boil (or evaporate) at different temperatures. The fractionating column is effectively an advanced distillation process. The bottom part of the column is the hottest part where heavy fractions such as tar do not evaporate, but lighter fractions will boil off and travel upwards through the column. The top part of the column is the coolest part where only the lightest fractions form a vapour. At various points between the top and bottom, the different fractions condense into liquids at different temperatures and can be drawn off in purified liquid form.

What is the purpose of the outer jacket on a fractionating column?

The outer jacket on a fractionating column is used to insulate against heat loss from the inner jacket during distillation.


What is the name of the column used to separate crude oil into its various components?

The column used to separate crude oil into its various components is called a fractional distillation column. This process takes advantage of the different boiling points of the components in the crude oil to separate them into distinct fractions such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.


Why do the higher boiling fractions in a fractionating column settle at the lower levels?

They are denser.


What is the physical process occurring inside the fractionating column?

The physical process occurring inside the fractionating column is fractional distillation. During this process, crude oil is heated, and its components are separated based on their boiling points. As the heated vapors rise through the column, they condense at different heights, allowing for the collection of various fractions such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
