Nitrogen is the 7th most abundant element found in our solar system and our atmosphere is made up of 80% nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is used in various industries to manufacture products used daily by everyone. Let’s take a look at 4 every day uses for nitrogen gas.
Preservation of Food
Nitrogen gas is used to help with food preservation by preventing oxidative damage leading to food spoiling. A man-made atmosphere is generated using nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide to help in the preservation of packaged food.
Pharmaceuticals Industry
Present in every major pharmaceutical drug, nitrogen gas is broadly used in the pharmaceutical industry including antibiotics and anesthetic.
Electronics Manufacturing
Many may be suspires to learn that nitrogen is used in the manufacturing of electronics. Nitrogen is used during the manufacturing process to create an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation that may lead to electrical failure.
Stainless Steel Manufacturing
Nitrogen is used to remove impurities during the manufacturing process of stainless steel. One of the top qualities of stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and is a result of nitrogen gas being introduced into the manufacturing process.
