They can be an element. They can be a molecule. They can be a mixture.

Industrial Gases are the gaseous materials that are

manufactured for use in different types of industries.

HOW TO OBTAIN INDUSTRIAL GASES?

TIMELINE

1889- Carl Gustave Rommenhoiler first produced carbon dioxide from the combustion of coke. 1890- Fuel Cells, which were used to produce hydrogen, were also first employed to produce oxygen. 1891- The first industrial acetylene production was developed as part of an attempt to produce pure aluminum was initiated by James Turner Morehead. 1895- The first patents for the Hampson-Linde cycle, which liquifies gases for air separation, was filled by Willliam Hampson and Carl Von Linde in separate

COMMON PRODUCTS AND THEIR USES

OXYGEN Oxygen is a gas. It is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gaseous element that constitutes 21% of the atmosphere and is found in water, in most rocks and minerals, and in numerous organic compounds, that is capable of combining with all elements except the inert gas. Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen and helium and the most abundant element.

HYDROGEN

A clean alternative to

methane gas. It was

also known as natural

gas. Most commonly

used in petroleum

refining and fertilizer

production. Because it

is an inert gas, it can

be used for welding

purposes.

CARBON DIOXIDE It is a versatile industrial material, used for example; as an inert gas in welding, in fire extinguishers, and as a pressuring gas in air guns and oil recovery. Due to its distinct properties, CO2 can be used in many industries. Most commonly used as refrigerant.

ARGON Argon is a colourless, odourless, inert gas sourced through the fractional distillation of liquid air. The omnipresent argon gas exists in its natural form in the form of multiple isotopes such as 40Ar, 36Ar, and 38Ar. Owing to its inert reactivity, argon is one of the most preferred gases for shielding metals

The argon gas has better thermal insulation properties than air and hence, it is one of the most widely used gases for filling the dry suits used for scuba diving. Excimer lasers, which are used for the production of microelectronic devices, use a mixture of argon, fluorine and helium. Argon is also used for a variety of other purposes. For instance, it is used in incandescent lamps and phosphorescent tubes, fire extinguishers and airbag inflation. It is also used during cryosurgery spectroscopy and decarburizing of stainless steel. USES

HELIUM

It was used as

shielding gas in

welding

promoting a

higher heat

transfer for a

consistent weld.

Helium is the second most

abundant element in the universe.

PROPANE

It was also known as

liquid propane, it is a

by-product of crude oil

which is liquified

through pressurization.

This clean energy gas is used for

commercial and residential purposes; as

well as, for industrial purposes.
