Liquefied and gases compressed under a high pressure are of great importance in industries.
(i) Liquid ammonia and liquid sulphur dioxide are used as refrigerants.
(ii) Liquid carbon dioxide finds use in soda fountains.
(iii) Liquid chlorine is used for bleaching and disinfectant purposes.
(iv) Liquid air is an important source of oxygen in rockets and jet-propelled planes and bombs.
(v) Compressed oxygen is used for welding purposes.
(vi) Compressed helium is used in airships.
The most important advantage of liquefying gases is that they can then be stored and transported in much more compact form than in the gaseous state. Two kinds of liquefied gases are widely used commercially for this reason, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). LPG is a mixture of gases obtained from natural gas or petroleum that has been converted to the liquid state. The mixture is stored in strong containers that can withstand very high pressures. LPG is used as a fuel in motor homes, boats, and homes that do not have access to other forms of fuel.
