Other Products From Crude Oil

By Deborah Murray


At normal temperature, hydrocarbons which consist mainly of these items as well as polar compounds are being focused by numerous scientists. We can difference petroleum waxes into two. Wax and asphaltene solvent are the heaviest and most popular compounds of these fossil fuels.

Crude oil is a basic raw material available from the Mother Nature. This is a mixture of oil with so many substances or chemicals and is not inflammable. It requires so many stages of tiresome and risk involved filtering before this item getting into petrol or diesel. Petrol is the last stage of this crude oil.

But still the chunk of the product is used and consumed for domestic use. The wide use of this has reduced the usage of fossil fuels such as charcoal, wood, or kerosene to some extent. It has created a revolution in food industry. It reduced pollution caused due to burning of fossil fuels. It gives more heat energy thus speeding up the cooking process. The emission of smoke is almost none.

The difficulties related to it are many and varied. It induces solid deposit, stabilization of water, and creates sludge. In order to study the difficulties, they need to be separated from the oil. Otherwise it would be sticky. The difficulty is that not soluble in most chemicals so removal of this is a tedious job. They are soluble only on selected chemicals. Ethanol is the chemical used mainly to remove this stains. Methyl ester is also used. The highlight is that it can easily remove around half deposit. Continuous injection of ethanol is required otherwise the dissolved particles do have the chemistry of rejoining after methyl is dried.

Gasoline is another byproduct of this and at the same time made of liquid hydrocarbons. Its usage is wide also used as a fuel for all types of combustion engines. These are made from petroleum. It can be created by condensation of natural gas or polymerization of hydrocarbons.

Kerosene is another by product. Best next to next to tar and so is less expensive. Primary use is primarily used in olden days to light lambs in rural areas. These are also used as a fuel in boats or manual generators. These are also a good solvent of most of the petroleum products. It can remove stains as well. However these are banned in traveling in train transport.

Few particles also kill the micro organisms and living organisms inside the water. It removes the oxygen content in the water making the water living fish and other living things difficult to breathe. So it is very important that our water is not contaminated with these deposits.

The last product of various services is the tar. This is really the waste of the refinery. But the demand for tar nowadays is so heavy that we cannot buy it on open market and there is a ration for this product so that its consumption is not increased. Why the price is not increased is because they are widely used by the government in constructing roads. Metal lining the road is the most important thing and tar is only most necessary ingredient.

Usage of this resource needs to be controlled. Non renewable fuels are environmentally pollutant and are the major reason for the pollution of air. The smoke emitted by burning of these fuels pollutes the atmosphere. There is a growing awareness and urgency in today's world due to two reasons. One is the requirement to protect the environment. The other is highly depleting nonrenewable resources. Once used, its gone forever. There is no alternative for this. So there should be a controlled use of this fossil fuel otherwise we will end up using this fuel as its reserves are reducing day by day.
