Question:
Oxygen O2
Answer:
Most large quantities of fractional distillation of atmospheric air
medical O2 are
produced by
Small quantities of Physical separation of O2 from air
concentrated O2 are
produced by
Fractional distillation is One way to produce o2 (most common and least
expensive)
Question:
The U.S FDA requires 99%
Answer:
% purity to be medical
o2
Physical separation is Molecular sieve and semipermeable plastic membrane
One way to product
oxygen it includes:
Essential components in oxygenOxygen molecular sieves
are concentrators, allowing for the efficient
separation of oxygen from nitrogen in the air
Changing from a cylinder require an increase In liter flow
to a concentrator may
Air contains 20.95% O2, 78.1% nitrogen and about 1% trace gasses
Carbon Dioxide CO2
Helium He
