It is extracted from the atmosphere through fractionation, a process that also produces nitrogen, oxygen, neon, krypton, and xenon.
Oxygen is an important part of the atmosphere and is necessary to sustain most terrestrial life, being used in respiration.
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere and is a component of all living tissues.
Carbon dioxide is a gas also present in the earth’s atmosphere in a concentration of about 0.04%, an important concentration in maintaining the balance of the biosphere.
Helium is a noble gas found in small amounts in the atmosphere, less than 0.001% in air.
It has the lowest boiling point and the lowest melting point.
Neon, krypton, xenon are rare or noble gases and are found in very low concentrations in the environment.
Noble gases are used as lamp filling gases.
