Liquid Oxygen (LOX)

Liquid oxygen (LOX) is a cryogenic liquid form of oxygen that has been cooled and compressed to a temperature of approximately -183°C (-297°F) at atmospheric pressure

Liquid oxygen (LOX) is a cryogenic liquid form of oxygen that has been cooled and compressed to a temperature of approximately -183°C (-297°F) at atmospheric pressure. LOX is produced by air separation, which involves cooling and compressing air to separate its components based on their boiling points. Oxygen gas, which has a boiling point of -183°C, is separated from other gases such as nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide, which have higher boiling points. The resulting oxygen gas is then liquefied by further cooling and compression to produce liquid oxygen.

Liquid oxygen are transported and stored in cryogenic containers, such as T75 ISOTanks, that are designed to maintain the low temperature of LOX.

Iron and steel industry: 

LOX is widely used in the iron and steel industry to enhance the combustion process in furnaces, which improves the efficiency of the melting process.

Non-ferrous industry: 

LOX is used in the non-ferrous industry, such as copper, aluminum, and magnesium manufacturing, as an oxidizer to increase the efficiency of the melting process.

Glass industry: 

LOX is used in the glass industry to enhance the combustion process in furnaces, which improves the efficiency of the melting process.

Concrete industry: 

LOX is used in the concrete industry to increase the strength and durability of concrete by promoting the oxidation of iron and other compounds.

Aerospace industry:

LOX is widely used in the aerospace industry as an oxidizer for rocket engines in space exploration and satellite launches.

 

Semiconductor industry:

LOX is used in the semiconductor industry to cool and maintain the temperature of silicon wafers during the manufacturing process.

Water treatment industry: LOX is used in the water treatment industry to provide dissolved oxygen for aerobic biological treatment of wastewater and to promote the oxidation of pollutants.

Food industry:

LOX is used in the food industry to rapidly freeze and preserve food products, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, and baked goods.

Chemical industry:

LOX is used as an oxidizer in the production of various chemicals, such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and acrylic acid.

Medical industry:

LOX is used in respiratory therapy and cryosurgery for medical applications.
