Air separation homework for chemistry? I Can't find any info...?

Basically, I need to know the issues associated with the waste produced in air separation. I've been all over google & I can't find a thing. So if anyone could please help me find a good website, I would be very thankful.

Thank-you in advance.

Update:

The task is too investigate the separation process involved in separating air to obtain helium.

I've managed to get most of the information, but I can't find a website telling me about waste that is produced.

    You are not finding anything because typical techniques for air separation(cryogenic and non-cryogenic) do not produce waste. I suggest you to find out specifically what technique you are trying to study, and make sure that that technique produces waste.

    what kind of air separation are you talking about??

    i mean plants take in CO2 and put out O2

    no waste at all but if you dont say what you are separating i dont know how people can direct you

    A. It feels like that's partly, yet no longer thoroughly, balanced. to end balancing you elect a coefficient of three in front of the CuCl2 and the Cu. (2Al + 3CuCl2 -> 3Cu + 2AlCl3) B. for each 2 moles of Al, you elect 3 moles of CuCl2, 2 moles of AlCl3, and 3 moles of Cu are required, which you would be able to tell from only finding on the coefficients interior the equation. C. making use of the relationships listed in B (i.e. via taking .1675 and then multiplying it via, for example, 3/2, the ratio of CuCl2 to Al) you get .25125 moles of CuCl2, .1675 moles of AlCl3, and .25125 moles of Cu.
