What are Bulk Gases and What are They Used for

Nov 29, 2024

1. Definition and classification of bulk gases.

Bulk gases are gases used in large quantities for industrial production and manufacturing with a purity of less than or equal to 99.99%. They can be classified into air separation gases and synthesis gases according to the different methods of preparation.

Air separation gases refer to industrial gases separated from air (broadly derived from industrial gases separated by physical reaction) by utilizing air separation equipment, and are mainly produced by separating air or industrial waste gas.

Oxygen, nitrogen, and argon primarily make up air separation gases primarily. Their volume proportions in air are 20.95%, 78.08%, and 0.93% respectively.

Synthetic gases refer to industrial gases produced by chemical reactions, including acetylene, ammonia, carbon dioxide, etc.

2. Different types and applications of bulk gases

Bulk Oxygen:

Large industries, like metallurgy and chemicals, use much industrial-grade oxygen to improve processes.

Environmental: Wastewater treatment, exhaust gas treatment

Medical support: for breathing in hypoxic, low-oxygen, or anoxic environments, such as in diving, mountaineering, high-altitude flights, cosmic voyages, and medical resuscitation.

Bulk Nitrogen:

Electronic industry applications: chip, integrated circuit manufacturing process with high-purity nitrogen as a chemical reaction gas, carrying gas, inert protective gas, and encapsulation gas.

Application in food industry: Nitrogen is mainly used in food industry as protective gas, to extend the shelf life, liquid nitrogen is used for fast freezing of seafood meat to achieve the effect of preservation of freshness.

Scientific experiments: liquid nitrogen can be used as a cold source for various cold pumps and low-temperature superconductors.

Medical treatment: Liquid nitrogen is used to cool down the scalpel, which becomes “cold knife”. Doctors use “cold knife” to do surgery, can reduce bleeding or no bleeding, the patient can recover faster after surgery.

Bulk Argon:

Aluminum industry: In aluminum manufacturing, replace air or nitrogen to create an inert atmosphere.

Steel–making: Used to displace gases or vapors and prevent oxidation in the process.

Metal working: Argon is used as an inert shielding gas in welding, argon arc welding.

Electronics: Provides protective atmosphere and heat transfer for germanium and silicon crystals used in ultra-pure semiconductors.

Lighting: Used to inflate incandescent and fluorescent bulbs; creates blue light in neon lamps.

Bulk carbon dioxide:

Food and Beverage Industry

Carbonated beverages: Carbon dioxide is one of the main ingredients in carbonated beverages, which can produce a unique bubbly taste and enhance the flavor of the beverages.

Food preservation: Injecting carbon dioxide into food packaging can effectively extend the shelf life of food, as carbon dioxide can inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Beer brewing: In the brewing process of beer, carbon dioxide is not only produced as a by-product of fermentation, but also used to regulate the taste and foam stability of beer.

Manufacturing

Welding and Cutting: In metal processing, carbon dioxide is often used as a protective gas to prevent oxides produced during welding or cutting from affecting product quality.

Chemical industry: Carbon dioxide is an important raw material or catalyst for many chemical reactions, and can be used to produce urea, acetic acid, sulfuric acid and other chemicals.

Cooling and refrigeration: liquid carbon dioxide has a very low temperature and can be used as refrigerant, which is widely used in low temperature preservation, cold storage and transportation of goods, and low temperature experiments.

Agriculture and Horticulture

Greenhouse cultivation: Carbon dioxide is an important raw material for plants to carry out photosynthesis, and the appropriate amount of carbon dioxide can be injected into greenhouses to promote the growth of plants and increase crop yields.

Soil improvement: injecting carbon dioxide into the soil can improve the soil structure, promote the growth of plant roots and increase crop yield.

Energy and Environment

Power generation: Carbon dioxide can be used as a potential energy carrier to drive generators to produce electricity through specific technologies (e.g., supercritical carbon dioxide power generation technology).

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is captured and stored underground through carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies to slow down global warming.

Other Applications

Firefighting: Carbon dioxide can be used as a fire extinguishing agent, especially effective in extinguishing fires in electrical equipment because it is non-conductive and quickly suffocates the source of the fire.

Medical: In the medical field, carbon dioxide can be used in certain therapeutic procedures, such as carbon dioxide laser therapy.

Research and education: In the field of research and education, CO2 is also often used as an experimental material or teaching tool.
