Nitrogen is primarily produced through air separation methods, as it is abundant in the atmosphere. Nitrogen has many applications, including as a coolant in the liquid form, a purging gas in the electronics industry, a protective atmosphere for food packaging, and a key component in fertilizers.

Used together with high-purity helium and high-purity carbon dioxide as laser gas for laser cutting machines
Used as a protective gas for food preservation
Used as a coolant as the liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, with a boiling point of -196°C (-320°F)
Nitrogen is inert, which makes it ideal for creating a protective, oxygen-free environment.
