Petroleum fractions refer to the different end products, which can be split up, or refined, from crude oil.
lol, this, below, was here before i improved the answer. XD

What is role of distillation columns in petroleum industry?
Since today petroleum products are very commonly used, they must be prepared in large quantities. In petroleum industry, it is done using fractional distillation. In the crude form we get petroleum which is a mixture of various products like petrol, diesel, Kerosene oil etc. Using fractionating columns we separate these products which have different boiling points.
What are the methods of separation of gas liquid?
Rectification. By using a rectification column, that has a pressure and temperature difference across it. The column also contains a series of perforated trays, which allows liquid to trickle down and gas to flow up.
Can liquids with similar boiling points be separated using fractional distillation?
No, due to the fact that fractional distillation uses the difference in boiling points of liquids to seperate them, therefore in order to perform fractional distillation there should be a difference of at least 1degree centigrade
Where does Neon come from?
Neon is a rare gaseous element. It is present in the atmosphere to the extent of 1 part per 65,000 of air. Neon is obtained by liquefaction of air and separation using fractional distillation.
How do you separate gases the air?
The best process for the separation of components of air is fractional distillation of air. The process includes the liquefaction of air first and then distillation of various fractions on the basis of different boiling points. By using this process, all the components of air can be separated out.
What is the method use to separate petroleum into fractions?
Fractional distillation is used to turn crude oil into petroleum, and then the products of that (petroleum is one of them) can be broken down into another more flowing substance using a process called cracking, normally done with aliminium oxide as a catalyst

Can we separate oil and water by a fractional distillation?
It is possible!! However, using a 'Separating Funnel' is much cheaper and easier.

Why can crude oil be separated using fractional distillation?
The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.

How do you convert 91 percent isopropyl alcohol to 99 percent?
by using fractional distillation
Is it possible to have an absolute alcohol from ninety percent ethanol using fractional distillation?
Of course not!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Could settling be use to separate petroleum?
Yes petroleum can be separated by using: 1.Distillation 2.Evaporation
What conditions are good for separation using a simple distillation?
use clean equipments
