gas separation

Gas separation involves separating different types of gases mixed together, often to obtain pure gases for industrial or medical use. This process uses techniques like filtration, adsorption, or membrane filtration to selectively isolate specific gases based on their properties such as size, boiling point, or chemical affinity. For example, in air purification, nitrogen can be separated from oxygen and other gases using specialized membranes or pressure methods. The goal is efficient and cost-effective extraction of desired gases from complex mixtures, ensuring they meet the required purity standards for their intended applications.
