Selective extraction of valuable hydrocarbons

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

Crude oil contains multiple valuable hydrocarbons used for material synthesis, but their separation involves a laborious and energy-intensive multistep distillation process. Now, scientists introduce a simple two-step separation of important hydrocarbons from crude oil under ambient conditions using selective chemistry.
