Gold refineries process impure gold to generate pure gold for sale or alloy it with other metals. The process involves smelting, refining, and assaying the gold. Some refineries buy lots outright, while others pay based on the value of the assay. Environmentally conscious refineries control waste and use non-toxic materials. A gold refinery receives gold […]
Refineries transform raw materials into usable products, with oil refineries being the most well-known. By-products can also be produced, but safety and pollution are major concerns. Some refineries are incorporating green technology to reduce pollution. A refinery is a factory or processing plant where raw or basic materials are transformed into more usable forms. There […]
Refinery gas is a mixture of gases produced during the refining of crude oil. Its composition varies and can include butanes, butylenes, methane, ethane, and ethylene. Refinery gas can be sold as a final product, used as fuel, or as a feedstock for other refinery processes. Gas chromatography is used to determine its chemical profile. […]
Oil refineries process crude oil into various chemicals and by-products, including fuels, lubricants, plastics, and other materials. They use a process called fractional distillation to separate the oil into different fractions. Refineries are large industrial complexes with pipelines, machinery, and storage tanks. They are often located near water sources and away from residential areas due […]
