HYDROCARBON
The hydrocarbon fraction consists of both aliphatic and aromatic components. The aliphatic component can further be divided into acyclic alkanes, referred to as paraffins, and cyclic alkanes, referred to as naphthenes. The lightest hydrocarbons, such as methane and ethane, are gases at room temperature and pressure; heavier hydrocarbons are liquids whose viscosity increases with the number of carbons.
The term oil refers to the liquid bitumen fraction.
Pyrobitumens are materials that are not soluble in CS2 but break down upon heating (pyrolysis) into soluble components.
