We just learned about the Distillation.
Another part of refining oil is Naphtha.
After some of the things like distillation and desulfurization, the oil is turned into something called naphtha.
This is a flammable liquid that is sometimes sold as fuel like white gas.
In history, the Greek word νάφθα (naphtha) is used in a story of a fiery furnace.
In a book from around 200 BC, there is a story about a thick water used by Nehemiah called Nephthar.
Some mixtures of naphtha have been used to make soap, and also the chemical napalm.
