Future prospects of cryogenic air separation technology

Nitrogen is the main component of air in the universal pressure conversion and adsorption equipment. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-combustible gas under room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and its boiling point is-195.8 ℃, its chemical property is not active. In addition to synthetic ammonia, nitrogen is usually used as protective gas in industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, coal, food, medicine, electron, magnetic material, transportation, heat treatment, tire, thermoelectricity, aviation, etc. Special pressure conversion nitrogen absorption equipment for petroleum and petrochemical industry chemical industry is the industry with the largest application of nitrogen air separation equipment. Currently, the most widely used one is: PVC, with a purity of 99.5% and a large flow rate. Polypropylene (PE) has a purity of 99.9% and a large flow rate. The application of nitrogen in this product is divided into two parts. One is that 99.9% nitrogen (small am...

I. Preface With the rapid development of industry, nitrogen has been widely used in chemical engineering, electronics, metallurgy, food, machinery and other fields. The demand for nitrogen in our country increases at a speed of more than 8% every year. The chemical property of nitrogen is not active, and it shows great inertia under normal conditions, so it is not easy to react with other substances. Therefore, nitrogen is widely used as protective gas and sealing gas in metallurgical industry, electronic industry and chemical industry. Generally, the purity of protective gas is required to be 99.99%, and some require high purity nitrogen of more than 99.998%. Liquid nitrogen is a relatively convenient cold source, which is more and more widely used in food industry, medical service and the seminal storage of animal husbandry. During the production of synthetic ammonia in the chemical fertilizer industry, if the mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, the feed gas of synthetic ammonia, is...
