High-purity oxygen is a kind of oxygen that has been specially processed and purified. It has many unique properties and is widely used in many fields. The following is a detailed description of the properties and applications of high purity oxygen:
i. Nature
- high Purity:
- after professional purification technology, the impurity content in high-purity oxygen is extremely low, and the purity is as high as 99.999%.
- Colorless and odorless:
- high-purity oxygen is a colorless and odorless gas, which makes it more convenient and flexible in application, and will not interfere with the experiment or manufacturing process.
- Density than air:
- high-purity oxygen is denser than air, which makes it more efficient in storage and transportation, and also has advantages in diving and underwater operations, which can provide longer diving times and deeper diving depths.
- Chemical stability:
- high purity oxygen is not easy to react with other substances, which makes it an ideal reaction gas in chemical experiments.
II. Application
- industrial Manufacturing:
- high purity oxygen is widely used in industrial manufacturing, such as cutting, welding, smelting and other processes. Especially in the steelmaking process, blowing high purity oxygen can be with carbon and phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and other oxidation reaction, reduce the carbon content of steel, while removing impurities, improve the quality of steel. In addition, high purity oxygen can also be used in glass manufacturing, cement production, mineral roasting, hydrocarbon processing, etc.
- Scientific research experiment:
- in scientific research experiments, high-purity oxygen can be used as an experimental gas to provide accurate experimental data for researchers. For example, in the semiconductor industry, high-purity oxygen is mainly used for processes such as thermal oxidation, diffusion, chemical vapor deposition, and plasma etching of semiconductor devices. At the same time, it can also be used as a source of oxidation and a reactant to produce high purity water.
- Medical areas:
- in the medical field, high-purity oxygen can be used in first aid, treatment and other processes to provide timely medical support for patients. Especially in the anoxic, hypoxic or anaerobic environment such as diving operations, mountaineering, high-altitude flight, and space navigation, high-purity oxygen can supply breathing and maintain life.
- Environmental protection areas:
- in the field of environmental protection, high-purity oxygen can be used in sewage treatment, air purification and other processes to protect environmental quality.
- Energy field:
- high purity oxygen also has important application value in the field of energy. As an efficient energy transmission medium, high-purity oxygen can be used in fuel cells, gas turbines and other equipment to improve energy efficiency and equipment performance. At the same time, it can also be used in the storage and utilization of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy to provide strong support for sustainable development.
