Oxygen making process

 Oxygen making process


At present in India Covid 19 virus are spreading spontaneously, that's why the need of oxygen cylinder is getting increased. But enough amount of cylinders can't be supplied to the hospitals, so few hospitals have stopped to take admission of the patients. It is not an easy way to making oxygen in lab. Oxygen cylinders make from the air, in the air there are 78% of nitrogen , 21% oxygen,1% argon and other gasses exist. At first, air passes though a filter so the dust, pollen and other solid particle can be separated from the air. Then the gas is being compressed in high presser and put it into purification unit where the carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon and water are being separated from the gas.  After that the air is being liquefied by putting it into -173 degree Celsius. Then put it in a long pipe with different chambers to separate the oxygen. The density of every gasses are different so all the gasses are being preserved in the different chambers.  The distilled oxygen stored in the lower chamber. This distilled oxygen is poured in the oxygen cylinders. This whole procedure is very much complicated and also costly.
