| Introduction | nitrogen: symbol N. A colorless gas element belonging to group 15 (main group VB) of the periodic table. It occurs in air (about 78% of the volume) and is an important component of proteins and nucleic acids in living organisms. Nitrogen has 19 isotopes, two of which are stable. The ratio of stable nitrogen and its abundance to the natural nitrogen on the Earth is: N-14 = 99.634%,N-15 = 0.366%. The other 17 isotopes are radioactive and are man-made in nuclear reactors with half-lives ranging from a few nanoseconds to 9.965 minutes. In the natural gas state, nitrogen is a relatively inert diatomic molecule (N2), colorless, tasteless and tasteless, but it is responsible for hundreds of active compounds. It accounts for about 78% of the air we breathe. We constantly inhale it into the lungs without irritation or sensation. Therefore, we did not find its presence. After liquefaction, still colorless and tasteless, density similar to water. |
| History of discovery | Swedish chemist Carl Scheele and Scottish botanist Daniel Rutherford nitrogen was found in the 1772 division. The clergy cvendish and lavasite also acquired nitrogen independently at about the same time. Nitrogen was first recognized as an element by lavoisiier, who named it "azo", meaning "inanimate". This element was named nitrogen by Chaptal in 1790. The name is derived from the Greek word "nitre" (nitrate containing nitrogen in nitrate). |
| Source | nitrogen is the 30th most abundant element on Earth. Considering that nitrogen accounts for more than 78% of the atmosphere, that is, more than of the nitrogen, we can use almost unlimited amounts of nitrogen. More than 3,3 million tons of nitrogen are produced annually from liquefied air, followed by fractional distillation in the atmosphere to produce nitrogen and other gases. Nitrogen is also present in the form of nitrates in a variety of minerals, such as Chile niter (sodium nitrate), niter or niter (potassium nitrate) and minerals containing ammonium salts. Nitrogen is present in many complex organic molecules, including proteins and amino acids that are present in all living organisms. |
| Applications | nitrogen is commonly referred to as an inert gas and is used in certain inert atmospheres for metal treatment, and used in the bulb to prevent the generation of an arc, but it is not chemically inert. It is an essential element in the life of plants and animals, and is a component of many useful compounds. Nitrogen combines with many metals to form hard nitrides, which can be used as wear-resistant metals. Small amounts of nitrogen in steel inhibit grain growth at high temperatures and also increase the strength of certain steels. It can also be used to create a hard surface on steel. Nitrogen can be used in the manufacture of ammonia, nitric acid, nitrate, cyanide, etc.; In the manufacture of explosives; Filling high temperature thermometers, incandescent bulbs; Forming inert materials to preserve materials for use in dry boxes or glove bags. Liquid nitrogen during food freezing; Used as a coolant in the laboratory. |
| preparation | nitrogen is obtained in commercial quantities by fractionation of liquefied air. |
| hazardous | nitrogen is non-toxic, but it is a asphyxiating gas that by itself cannot support oxidation (combustion) or life-sustaining. If you breathe pure nitrogen at any time, you die-not because nitrogen is a toxic gas, but because your body will be deprived of oxygen. |
| Product description | n↑, usually a colorless, odorless, odorless, non-toxic gas, and nitrogen is generally less dense than air. Nitrogen accounts for 78.08% of the total atmosphere (volume fraction), is one of the main components of the air. When nitrogen is cooled to -195.8 °c at standard atmospheric pressure, it becomes a colorless liquid, and when cooled to -209.8 °c, the liquid nitrogen becomes a snow-like solid. The chemical nature of nitrogen is not active, almost completely inert gas, can cause asphyxia in high concentrations. |
| identification test | The combustion flame should be extinguished in nitrogen. |
| toxicity | ADI is not required (FAO/WHO,2001). GRAS(FDA,§ 184.1540,2000). nitrogen itself is non-toxic. Only when the oxygen pressure is significantly low, the toxicity of nitrogen is exhibited. At atmospheric pressure of 3.923 × 3.138 (I. E., at a nitrogen pressure of), the visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli were blunted. When producing liquid nitrogen, wear protective gloves and glasses, and the workshop should be ventilated to ensure safe transportation. |
| Use | for nitric acid, ammonia, calcium cyanamide, explosives, etc. for electrical appliances, food packaging filling gas, thermal oxidation, epitaxial diffusion, chemical vapor deposition, etc. in the preparation process of semiconductor devices can also be used for gas chromatography for rare gas extraction and freezing, cryogenic treatment of instruments or parts can be used as protective gas for large-scale integrated circuits, and as air and oxygen dispersant for bulb filling gas. refrigerant, can be used as a direct refrigerant for rapid freezing of food; Packaging gas (used to replace the residual air in the packaging container, to extend the shelf life). Dosage depends on normal production needs (FAO/WHO,2001)GB 2760-1996 as food processing aids. chemical industry for the synthesis of ammonia, nitric acid, calcium cyanamide, cyanide, hydrogen peroxide production. Pure nitrogen is used as a protective gas against oxidation, volatilization, flammable substances, bulb filling gas. Liquid nitrogen is mainly used as a cold source for deep freezing of instruments or parts and quick freezing of food. It is also used in low-temperature micro-grinding and electronic industry. It is used in fertilizer, medicine, animal husbandry, refrigeration and electronic industries. used in metal smelting, chemical industry, mechanical processing and other industries |
| production method | The air separation method uses a full low pressure process, which first removes dust and mechanical impurities from the air, the compressed air is then compressed in a compressor to remove carbon dioxide from the compressed air, dried, liquefied, rectified, and separated into oxygen and nitrogen. Nitrogen is stored in the nitrogen holder; Liquid nitrogen is sent into the storage tank and compressed nitrogen is filled in the nitrogen cylinder. oxygen and nitrogen are separated by liquid air fractionation in industry. |
