Argon gas is actually a colorless and odorless gas that is placed in the group of inert or noble gases in the periodic table. Argon is found in the atmosphere in the amount of 1%. The abbreviation of argon gas is Ar, this gas can be included in the category of widely used industrial gases. Argon gas is obtained from the distillation of copper.
Argon gas is usually used when an inert gas is needed at high temperature. Unlike materials that may change at high temperature and change from inert to reactive, argon gas remains stable and does not change and prevents other materials from changing.
It can be said that argon gas is the most economical alternative to other inert gases.
Preparation of argon gas:
From the industrial production of argon gas, a lot of argon can be produced and prepared. In this article, we decide to briefly explain the production of argon gas in the industry.
Production of argon gas in industry:
In the industry, argon gas is produced by mixing liquid air in a cryogenic separation chamber. In this process, where oxygen, nitrogen and argon are also involved, the amount of argon produced is about 700,000 tons.
It should be mentioned that argon 40 gas is produced by the decay of potassium 40 during electron capture or positron emission. That's why it can be used for potassium argon dating.
Generally, it is possible to produce argon from the partial distillation of liquid air and by using the waste steam produced from the oxidation of natural gas in the ammonia production plant, as well as the loss of potassium 40.
