A brick is a type of block used to build walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction. Properly, the term brick denotes a block composed of dried clay, but is now also used informally to denote other chemically cured construction blocks.

Cracking, in petroleum refining, the process by which heavy hydrocarbon molecules are broken up into lighter molecules by means of heat and usually pressure and sometimes catalysts. Cracking is the most important process for the commercial production of gasoline and diesel fuel.

The main feedstock is vacuum gas oil, a heavy fraction of petroleum. The products of this process are saturated hydrocarbons; depending on the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, catalyst activity) these products range from ethane, LPG to heavier hydrocarbons consisting mostly of isoparaffins.

The products of cracking include alkanes and alkenes , members of a different homologous series . An alkene is a hydrocarbon that contains a carbon-carbon double bond.

Steam or catalytic degradation (cracking) refers to the degradation of a plastic by means of steam or a catalyst. In catalytic cracking solid catalysts effectively convert plastics into liquid fuel, giving lighter fractions as compared to thermal cracking.

Steam cracking is a petrochemical process in which saturated hydrocarbons are broken down into smaller, often unsaturated, hydrocarbons. After the cracking temperature has been reached, the gas is quickly quenched to stop the reaction in a transfer line exchanger.

1.5. 13 Catalytic hydrotreating

• Catalytic hydrotreating is a hydrogenation process used to remove about 90% of contaminants such as nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and metals from liquid petroleum fractions.
• Lube-oil hydrotreating employs catalytic treatment of the oil with hydrogen to improve product quality.

This is where cracking comes in. Cracking allows large hydrocarbon molecules to be broken down into smaller, more useful hydrocarbon molecules. Cracking produces a mixture of smaller alkanes and alkenes. This helps to meet the demand for the more useful fractions and to increase profit.

Crude oil is a mixture of different chemical called hydrocarbons. The boiling oil turns into a mixture of gases in the column. The gases flow up the column which is hottest at the bottom and cooler at the top. The gases cool down as they go up the column until they condense (turn back into liquid again).

Most substances within crude oil will boil at this point and vaporise. The heated gas/liquid oil mixture is fed into the lower section of a distillation column. Substances that remain in their liquid state sink to the bottom of the column and are pumped out. This sticky, black mixture is called residual oil.

Small hydrocarbon molecules have weak intermolecular forces , so they have low boiling points. They do not condense, but leave the column as gases. Long hydrocarbon molecules have stronger intermolecular forces, so they have high boiling points. They leave the column as hot liquid bitumen.

Skin contact with crude oil that lasts a long time can cause skin reddening, swelling, and burning. The skin effects can get worse if the skin is exposed to the sun. Skin contact can also make you more likely to develop a rash or skin infection. Light crude oil may also be irritating if it contacts your eyes.

You can even buy actual oil by the barrel. Crude oil trades on the New York Mercantile Exchange as light sweet crude oil futures contracts, as well as other commodities exchanges around the world. The more common way to invest in oil for the average investor is to buy shares of an oil ETF.

The United States and China are two of the largest consumers of oil in the world, totaling 19.4 million barrels per day and 14 million barrels per day, respectively.
