Membrane-assisted Cryogenic Distillation for Energy-efficient Argon Production from Air

High-purity argon is produced from air by cryogenic distillation; the process is energy intensive because of the similar volatilities of oxygen and argon. This work investigates the potential to reduce the energy consumption of argon production by using membrane-assisted distillation in the crude ar...
