What are uses of oxygen
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 7 months ago

  • Oxygen is used for respiration of living organisms. 
  • The production of steel is reliant upon oxygen where it is used in a blast furnace to turn carbon into carbon dioxide, which reduces the iron oxides to pure iron. 
  • Oxygen is also used at plants that treat sewage or purify water. Oxygen is pumped through water to increase the production of natural bacteria, which break down waste products.
  • Oxygen as a gas is required to produce energy in industrial processes, generators and ships and it is also used in airplanes and cars.
  • As a liquid, oxygen is used widely both medically and industrially, most commonly as an oxidizing agent for use in missiles and rockets where it reacts with liquid hydrogen to produce the thrust for take-off.
