Abstract

The objective of this work is to separate and characterize qualitatively unknown crude oil samples by using available equipment and glassware found normally in most chemical laboratories. This approach is neither time-consuming nor expensive. A simple distillation setup was used to prepare the samples, and boiling range apparatus was used to measure the exact boiling points of the samples before the fractional distillation. Selected crude oil fractions obtained from fractional distillation were then characterized by using a refractometer, and a density meter. Obtained results were then compared with available reference values from authentic samples.
