Creosote removed; the "heavy oil", which sinks; and the "anthracene oil", which when cold is mostly solid and greasy, of a buttery consistence. Creosote refers to the portion of coal tar which distills as "heavy oil", typically between 230–270 °C, also called "dead oil"; it sinks into water but still is fairly liquid. Carbolic acid is produced in the second fraction of distillation and is often distilled into what is referred to as "carbolic oil". Commercial creosote will contain substances from six groups. The two groups occur in the greatest amounts and are the products of the distillation process—the "tar acids",
Letter case Letter case Letter case (or just case) is the distinction between the letters that are in larger upper case (also "uppercase", "capital letters", "capitals", "caps", "large letters", or more formally "majuscule") and smaller lower case (also "lowercase", "small letters", or more formally "minuscule") in the written representation of certain languages.
