☑️ Oxygen gas
Pure oxygen gas usually increases the speed of chemical reactions and increases their efficiency. This gas is usually one of the dangerous industrial and laboratory gases. For this reason, an oxygen capsule is used to store it. A capsule that is made using special materials and many safety points are considered in its construction. In most industrial applications, this gas is used for welding and soldering. This gas can also be used to produce optical fiber or improve the performance of nuclear reactors.
In medical and laboratory applications, oxygen gas can be used to fill patients' auxiliary oxygen capsules. This gas is also used to seal ampoules and glass medicines. If there is a need for gas fermentation in laboratory processes, this gas is used instead of air. This gas can also be used to calibrate laboratory devices and increase the accuracy of results.
☑️ Refrigerated gases
Refrigerant gas has the most variety among industrial and laboratory gases. As its name suggests, this gas is used for cooling or air conditioning. Some of the most commonly used types of refrigerant gas are R11, R410, R404, R407, R22, R12, R134 and R141. In various industries, these gases are used for cooling equipment. Nitrogen from these gases is also used to fill refrigerators, gas coolers, and car coolers. These gases are also used in refrigeration processes in different compressors. Refrigerant gas is used for cooling in laboratory processes. In fact, these gases are used when laboratory materials need to be kept cool or their air temperature does not exceed a certain limit.
☑️ Nitrogen gas
Nitrogen gas is usually supplied in high volumes and in nitrogen flasks. This colorless and tasteless gas is one of the most widely used gases in various industries. Nitrogen can be used in both gas and liquid states in different industries. In order to prepare liquid nitrogen, nitrogen gas is distilled and then a nitrogen flask is used for easier transportation and use. Nitrogen gas is used to prepare oil storage tanks. This gas is also used to make some types of metals. Because combining metals with oxygen oxidizes them and destroys metal compounds.
In laboratory processes, nitrogen gas is used as a carrier gas. This gas can be used to balance various laboratory devices. Nitrogen gas can also be used to clean laboratory equipment. This gas can also be used to pack all kinds of perishable laboratory materials and to store microbes, bacteria or sperm under test. This gas can also be used to freeze laboratory materials and store materials that require very low temperatures.
☑️ Helium gas
Helium is one of the inert gases that can be used in rocket and space industries. In these industries, helium gas is used as a filling gas for small and large space balloons. This gas can also be used to fill meteorological and recreational balloons. This gas is usually used for arc welding. In fact, helium gas is used in arc welding to protect the welding result and its durability. This gas can be used in the process of drawing optical fibers to cool and protect these fibers.
In laboratory applications, helium gas is used to create balance in the calibration process. The purer type of this gas can also be used in the process of gas engraving. In addition, helium gas is used as one of the carrier gases in the growth process of interwoven crystals. This issue is mostly due to the ineffectiveness of this widely used gas. Helium gas is usually obtained from terrestrial sources. But due to the chemical properties of the gas, it is very rare. For this reason, to prevent the waste of this gas in industrial and laboratory processes, it must be recycled with methods.
☑️ Hydrogen gas
Hydrogen gas can be used to make a variety of widely used compounds in industry and laboratory. For example, hydrogen is a suitable material for making ammonia, hydrochloric acid, methanol and tritium. These compounds show that the main application of hydrogen gas is in nuclear industries. Actually, hydrogen has a radioactive isotope, which is the main material of nuclear processes and nuclear fusion processes.
Hydrogen is also used to make solid oils in the food industry. This gas can also be used to facilitate the process of oil extraction and make reforms in crude oil. In laboratory applications, it is used as a carrier gas. Carrier gases are usually used in chromatographic analyzers. In some cases, hydrogen is also used as a cooling gas. It can also be used to clean clothes, whiten teeth, disinfect fungi and control pests in gardens.
☑️ Argon gas
Argon welding is one of the most widely used types of welding in various industries. Because argon is an inert gas and does not react with air. As a result, it is used for welding metals. Metals whose welding with oxygen will cause the metal to oxidize and sometimes lose the welding. This gas is usually used to purify some elements such as zirconium or to preserve the crystals of other elements such as germanium and silicon. It can also be used to fill car tires, incandescent lamps and the middle space of double-glazed windows.
