उत्तर
Nitrogen, oxygen and argon are separated from air by fractional distillation. Following are the steps followed to separate these gases from air:
- Air is first filtered to remove the dust particles, spores etc. Subsequently water vapours and carbon dioxide are removed.
- Air is subjected to high pressure and then cooled. This air is then allowed to expand in a chamber which causes further cooling of the air.
- This process is repeated to cool the air further. Ultimately, the air becomes so cold that it turns into a liquid.
- This liquid air is then fed into a fractionating column from its bottom end and is cooled slowly.
- Liquid nitrogen boils off first to nitrogen gas as the boiling point of nitrogen is lowest at -196°C.
- Liquid argon boils off at a boiling point of -186°C.
- Liquid oxygen boils off last as it has highest boiling point among all three (around -183°C).
