Cryogenic distillation is a separation process that involves cooling gases to extremely low temperatures to liquefy and separate components based on their boiling points. It is commonly used for air separation and natural gas processing, providing high-purity products like oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless gas essential for life on Earth, making up about 21% of the Earth's atmosphere. It is crucial for cellular respiration in most living organisms and plays a vital role in combustion and various industrial processes.

Argon is a noble gas, making it inert and non-reactive under most conditions, which is why it's widely used in applications requiring a stable atmosphere, such as in welding and as a protective layer in the production of titanium and other reactive elements. It is the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere, making it readily available for industrial and scientific use.
