Hi,

I'm researching for a question which asked about ways that industry separate gases from the atmosphere.

I think the only one is fractional distillation, as the other ones such as gas centrifuges only seem to be about uranium enrichment, of which the gases aren't frorm the atmosphere to start with.

To sum up,

Are there any other industrial separation methods used than fractional distillation?

If so, what are they?

Thanks so much,
googled.

Theres a few on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Distillation

Another link from wikipedia, this one lists some of the separation methods used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_chemicals

Good old wikipedia, im sure its going to help me out in the future!
Also, hahaha, i havent had homework from chemistry yet!

wikipedia has already helped me many times, often in the dead of night

Hi guys,

Still chugging along.

So far I have figured that fractional distillation and chemical separation (CO2 removal) can be used to separate the air.

Are gaseous diffusion and gas centrifuge used for separation of gases from the air? There is heaps about uranium enrichment, but I can't find anything specifically about gases from the atmosphere.

Thanks so much, this is driving me crazy!!

I never remembered going that deep into separation.
