    bio-plastics and is a potential contender in replacing some plastics synthesized by petroleum because of their biodegradable nature and physical properties. PHAs are somewhat similar to the well-known synthetic polymers that are low density polypropylene and polyethylene; furthermore the disposal of PHAs as bio-waste made them more attractive in the hunt of sustainable development of bio-plastic. These PHAs contained a class of polyesters naturally present which has been accumulated by many microorganisms

    (Ke E 10,11) Explain, using a diagram, the use of Fractional Distillation in an Oil Refinery. How is this method used to help produce chemico-technical products (fuels,solvents, etc). Due to having different boiling points the substances in the crude oil can be separated if/by using fractional distillation. The crude oil is braked down and its steam condenses at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Every fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with very similar numbers of carbon atoms
