Nitrogen (N2) is an important gas with various applications, including food packaging, electronics manufacturing, and oil and gas extraction. N2 can be obtained through various processes, and one of the most common methods is the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process. PSA is a well-known technique used in various industries to separate different gases from a gas mixture based on their adsorption properties. In this article, we will discuss the N2 production using the PSA process in detail, with references to relevant research studies. Overview of the PSA Process: The PSA process consists of two adsorption beds filled with a specific adsorbent material such as activated carbon, zeolite, or molecular sieves. The gas mixture containing N2 and other gases (such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor) is fed into one of the adsorption beds, and the adsorbent material selectively adsorbs the other gases, leaving behind a pure N2 stream. The bed that was in use is then depressurized, al
