Nitrogen Synthesis
• Air being around 78% nitrogen is a great place to get it.
• Air is then compressed and cooled, then transported to an insulated area
• The Nitrogen having a lower boiling point then the liquid oxygen is then
distilled out. Then compressed again without the oxygen.

Carbon Monoxide Synthesis
• Producer gas: CO2 + C → 2 CO (ΔH = −221 kJ/mol)
• Water gas: H2O + C → H2 + CO (ΔH = +131 kJ/mol)
• By product of Metal oxides: MO + C → M + CO

Carbon Dioxide Synthesis
• Side product of the industrial production of ammonia and hydrogen.
• Side product of fuel combustion (not normally recovered)
• Product of breathing

Common Uses
• Nitrogen
• Ammonia synthesis (NH3)
• Chemicals
• Oil and Gas Extraction (AOR)
• Electronics
• Primary Metals Manufacture
Common Uses
• Oxygen
• Primary Metals Production
• Chemicals and Gasification
• Medicine
• Oxyacetylene Welding
• C2H2 (g) + 5O2 (g)  4CO2 (g) + 2H2O(g) + ∆
Common Uses
• Hydrogen
• Ammonia synthesis (Haber process)
• Methanol manufacture
• (1) 2CH4 (g)+ ½ O2 (g)  CO (g) + CO2 (g) + 7H2 (synthesis gas)
• (2) CO (g) + CO2 (g) + 7H2  2CH3OH (g) + 2H2 (g) +H2O (g)
Common Uses
• Carbon Dioxide
• Food Industry
• Beverage Carbonation
