- Argon is a chemical
element designated by the symbol Ar. Argon has atomic number 18 and is
the third element in group 18 of the periodic table (noble gases). Argon
is present in the Earth's atmosphere at slightly less than 1%, making it
the most common noble gas on Earth.
- Argon is two and one
half times as soluble in water as nitrogen, having about the same
solubility as oxygen. Argon is colorless and odorless, both as a gas and
liquid. Argon is considered to be a very inert gas and is not known to
form true chemical compounds, as do krypton, xenon, and
radon.
- Argon gas is
prepared by fractionation of liquid air. Argon is obtained from the air
as a by-product of the production of oxygen and nitrogen. The argon
purge stream clearly represents an important resource recovery and
pollution reduction opportunity.
- Atmospheric air
contains 0.93% argon and its economic removal has been assisted by the
construction of very large distillation plants for the production of
oxygen and nitrogen. During the distillation-liquefication process argon
is withdrawn into the argon concentration column and
distilled from
oxygen.
- Argon does not react
with the filament in a lightbulb even under high temperatures, so is
used in lighting and in other cases where diatomic nitrogen is an
unsuitable (semi-)inert gas. Argon is perticularly important for the
metal industry, being used as an inert gas shield in arc welding and
cutting.
- Recent advances in
technology have allowed for the use of Argon gas to driveice formation
using a principle known as the Joule-Thomson effect. This gives
physicians excellent control of the ice, and minimizing complications
using ultra-thin 17 gauge cryoneedles.
- Argon is the most
commonly used fill gas, due to its excellent thermal performance and
cost-efficiency in comparison to other gas fills. Argon gas reduces heat
loss in sealed units by slowing down convection inside the air
space.
- Variable Specific
Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) experiment (VX-50) to process over
50 kW of total Radio Frequency (RF) power. If these techniques are
applied to much heavier atomic species, such as argon. Then it enables
the efficient operation of the rocket at lower specific
impulses, ~
4000 seconds.
- Inert-gas technology
is an entirely new method for building up restorative regenerative
potential after spinal cord injury. The theories behind it clearly
challenge contemporary scientific thinking; nevertheless, they encompass
concepts that in one form or another have existed since
antiquity.
- Argon Beam
coagulation(ABC) in which electrosurgical coagulation is produced by jet
of inert argon gas encompassing an electrofulguration arc, is a useful
technique during laproscopic surgery.
- The largest
distributor of industrial gases in the United States, started the round
of price increases with its announcement that it would boost the prices
for argon, hydrogen, helium, acetylene and other fuel gases 10 percent
to 20 percent.
- The production of
argon used for welding historically has been tied to the production of
steel and chemicals. The decline of steel production capacity in the
United States has caused a similar decline in the availability of
argon.
- As with argon and
CO2, installing new production capacity requires a large capital
investment. The demand for a high return on such an investment to
satisfy shareholders and investors has been a compelling reason for
industrial gas producers to curtail those capital investments in recent
years.
