    Canisters containing argon gas for use in extinguishing fire in a server room without damaging equipment. Gaseous fire suppression, also called clean agent fire suppression, is the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire.

  3. Argon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon

    Argon is a chemical element; it has symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas. [10] Argon is the third most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, at 0.934% (9340 ppmv).

  4. Cryogenic gas plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_gas_plant

    A cryogenic gas plant is an industrial facility that creates molecular oxygen, molecular nitrogen, argon, krypton, helium, and xenon at relatively high purity. [1] As air is made up of nitrogen, the most common gas in the atmosphere, at 78%, with oxygen at 19%, and argon at 1%, with trace gasses making up the rest, cryogenic gas plants separate air inside a distillation column at cryogenic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    For instance, argon, krypton, and xenon form clathrates with hydroquinone, but helium and neon do not because they are too small or insufficiently polarizable to be retained. [61] Neon, argon, krypton, and xenon also form clathrate hydrates, where the noble gas is trapped in ice. [62] An endohedral fullerene compound containing a noble gas atom

  8. Plasma gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification

    Plasma gasification is an extreme thermal process using plasma which converts organic matter into a syngas (synthesis gas) which is primarily made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. A plasma torch powered by an electric arc is used to ionize gas and catalyze organic matter into syngas , with slag [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] remaining as a byproduct.

  9. Argox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argox

    However, there are many problems with the use of suit inflation gas as an emergency breathing gas. Argon is a very narcotic gas, meaning that it could only be breathed at comparatively shallow depths above 20 metres (66 ft). However, in an emergency this is enough for adequate decompression time at typical decompression levels between 3 metres ...
