Nitrogenation

Nitrogenation is a chemical process where nitrogen gas is added to a substance, typically to improve its properties. For example, in metallurgy, nitrogen is infused into metals like steel to enhance strength and corrosion resistance. In food production, nitrogen gas is used to preserve freshness and extend shelf life by replacing oxygen, which can cause spoilage. The process involves introducing nitrogen in a controlled manner, often under high pressure or in a specific environment, to achieve the desired effect. Overall, nitrogenation modifies materials at a chemical level to enhance their durability, stability, or preservation qualities.
