Technology Profile: Production of Nitrogen from Air
WEBAug 1, 2021 · Nitrogen (N 2) makes up 78% of ambient air (20.95% of air is oxygen).N 2 is an inert (non-flammable) gas used in industrial plants to prevent undesirable chemical reactions from occurring. Nitrogen is the most common inert gas used in the chemical process industries, due to its high natural abundance and low relative cost.
