There are vast applications of nitrous
oxide gas and they are :
- Food and Beverage : It is used as gas propellant for
aerosol packaging
- Laboratories & analysis : Nitrous oxide is combustive
for the flame in atomic absorption spectrophotometry. It is used in
calibration gas mixtures for petrochemical industry, environmental
emission monitoring, industrial hygiene monitors and trace impurity
analyzers.
- Pharmaceuticals : Used as gas propellant for aerosols
packaging
- Electronics : In semiconductor manufacturing, N2O is the
oxygen source for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of silicon
oxynitride (doped or undoped) or silicon
- Dioxide Medicinal : It can be used in anaesthesia in
medical operations. It can also be used in different medical fields
such as :
- Dentistry
- Dermatology
- Veterinarian
- Gynaecology
- Other applications : Combustive for engine of scale
models
- It is highly functional in the separation of impurities
- Due to its economical and safe nature it ensures minimum
power and water consumption
- It has a double drying system
