Inert gas asphyxiation lacks oxygen and consists of an asphyxiant gas (one or more of argon, nitrogen or carbon dioxide), causing the animals to lose consciousness. Argon and nitrogen are important components of a gassing process which seem to cause no pain, and for this reason many consider some types of controlled atmosphere killing more humane than other methods of killing. However, "stunning" is often done using carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is used, controlled atmosphere killing is not the same as inert gas asphyxia, because carbon dioxide at high concentrations (above 5%) is not biologically inert, but rather is toxic and also
Endothermic gas gas in the endothermic atmosphere is combined with an additive gas including natural gas, propane (CH) or air and is then used to improve the surface chemistry work positioned in the furnace. There are two common purposes of the atmospheres in the heat treating industry: Principal Components of Endothermic Gas Generators : Chemistry of Endothermic Gas Generators: Applications of Endothermic Gas Generators: It is relatively simple to operate and maintain endothermic gas generators, however, maintenance such as the burnout process is often overlooked. Troubleshooting the Endothermic Gas Generator (Cracking at 1040°C): Endothermic gas Endothermic gas is a gas that inhibits
