How to extract propane from raw natural gas?
Is there way to extract propane or butane from raw natural gas? I know a factory can do it. I am talking about a way to do it at home. It seems that since raw natural gas contains a percentage of propane and propane liquefies at 177 PSI (100 F), that simply pressurizing raw natural gas to around 200 psi would cause all the propane to liquefy. Will this work?

Yes, it would work, but compressing gas to 13 atmospheres is going to generate a lot of heat.
Look it up.
