• Vacuum distillation

• Steam distillation

Which of the following processes is primarily used to refine crude oil into its components, such as gasoline and diesel?

• Simple distillation

• Destructive distillation

• Fractional distillation

• Vacuum distillation

Which distillation method allows for the separation of components at lower temperatures by reducing pressure?

• Steam distillation

• Fractional distillation

• Vacuum distillation

• Destructive distillation

Which type of distillation is often used in the petrochemical industry to separate crude oil into its components?

• Simple distillation

• Fractional distillation

• Vacuum distillation

• Steam distillation

Which type of distillation requires the use of a fractionating column to separate liquids with close boiling points?

• Simple distillation

• Vacuum distillation

• Fractional distillation

• Destructive distillation

It uses a separation solvent, which is generallynonvolatile, has a high boiling point and is misciblewith the mixture, but doesn't form an azeotropicmixture.
