Industry Using More Oxygen

摘要

Materials capable of overcoming the fire hazards, elevated temperatures and high corrosiveness associated with advanced industrial applications of oxygen are proving indispensable as the market for these applications grows and diversifies.Oxygen is essential to a number of industries: the petrochemical sector uses large quantities for partial oxidation of organics and coal to produce commercial products; the gold mining industry, one of the newest markets, uses oxygen in the reactors that break down refractory gold ores; and the hazardous waste business employs oxygen enrichment for disposal methods such as super-critical water oxidation.
