American spelling; the process of separating a substance or mixture into fractions, especially based on physical or chemical properties.
From fractionize + -ation (American suffix for -isation). The -ization ending is the standard American variant, used to form nouns describing processes or states.
Fractionization is at the heart of the petroleum industry, where crude oil worth nothing becomes gasoline, jet fuel, and petrochemicals worth billions—chemistry as profit.
