petroleum coal

carbonisation definition

process of converting organic matter into coal(carbon)

conditions required for formation of coal

remains of dead plants and trees high temp high pressure absence of air

destructive distillation of coal

heating of coal to extemely high temps in the absence of air to obtain different components like coke, coal tar, and coal gas

coke

physical state ->solid(tough and porous) composition ->almost pure carbon colour -> black uses-> extraction of metal -> manifacturing steel

coal-tar

physical state -> thick liquid composition -> 200+ mixed compounds colour -> black uses-> making of plastics, dyes, paints, perfumes

coal gas

physical state -> gas composition ->hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide colour -> colourless uses-> used as fuel in many industries

formation of petroleum

absense of air high temp high pressure dead remains of aquatic plants/animals

fossil fuel definition

fuels formed from dead remains of organisms(fossils)

refining of petroleum

process of seperating the various constituents of petroleum carried out in a petroleum refinery
