Mineral processing 2025-04-25
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Purity | ≥99.999% (5.0 grade) or higher, with minimal impurities (O₂, H₂O, N₂ ≤ 1 ppm) |
| Applications | – Welding/Metalworking: Shielding gas for TIG welding and laser cutting |
| – Semiconductors: Carrier gas in CVD processes and etching | |
| – Healthcare: Cryotherapy (e.g., removing warts) and MRI cooling | |
| – Research: Spectroscopy, particle accelerators, and cryogenics | |
| Key Properties | – Colorless, odorless, non-flammable |
| – High thermal conductivity and chemical inertness | |
| Safety | – Asphyxiation risk in poorly ventilated areas (displaces oxygen) |
| – Avoid direct contact with skin/eyes (cryogenic liquid form) | |
| Storage | – Compressed gas cylinders (e.g., 50L, 100L) at 150–200 bar pressure |
| – Store upright in cool, dry environments away from flammable materials | |
| Certifications | Compliance with ISO 14175. ASTM G108. and medical device regulations |
