ATMOLYSIS
Atmolysis is the process of separating the components of a gas mixture by passing an electric current through it. This technique is commonly used in industrial processes for the separation of gases, such as the production of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. In atmolysis, the gas mixture is ionized by an electric field, and the resulting ions are separated based on their charge-to-mass ratio using a magnetic field. This separates the different gas components, which can then be collected and purified.

Atmolysis is a useful technique for the separation of gases because it is selective, energy-efficient, and can be carried out at ambient temperatures and pressures. However, it requires a source of electrical energy and can be expensive to set up and maintain.
