Hi,

In order not to hijack another thread I started another...

I must confess that I did not know that the residual gas if/ when oxygen is produced is Argon. Is this because of the process, or? Why? I thought Argon was a non reactive gas. Is Argon harder than other gases to filter out?

I didn't know this either and a quick google didn't elicit the answer, so hopefully someone who does know will be along soon.

Not entirely on topic, but very interesting in the context. Does anyone know more? SpringerLink - Journal Article

Cheers,
