Abstract: A deicing formulation which includes at least one carefully selected and further processed agricultural by-product selected from BCS, DCS and CCSL, a chloride salt and water. The formulation has a viscosity of 100 to 140 centipoises at 0° C. (32° F.), and a liquid adhesion rating of at least 4. Each of BCS, DCS and CCSL contain a low molecular carbohydrate fraction in an amount sufficient to lower the freezing point threshold value of the formulation.

Abstract: Air is raised in pressure by a compressor and pre-purified by removal of impurities, particularly H.sub.2 O vapor and CO.sub.2, in an adsorption unit. The resulting air is cooled in a heat exchanger, and is subjected to a first rectification in a rectification column in which the air is separated into a nitrogen-rich fraction and an oxygen-rich fraction. A further oxygen fraction enriched in argon is subjected to a second rectification in which argon is separated from oxygen in a second rectification column. First and second argon products of different purity are withdrawn from the second rectification column through outlets thereof.
