PSA huab cua cais oxygen ntau tsim tau thawj zaug tau tsim nyob rau hauv thaum 1960 (Skarstrom, 1960; Domine, 1964) thiab ua tiav kev lag luam hauv xyoo 1970. Ua ntej rau qhov no, feem ntau cov kev muaj cua sib cais siv cryogenic distillation (raug xa mus raws li cryogenic txoj kev)
Txij li thaum 1980s, kev txhim kho thiab kev siv cov kab ke nrog CAP thiab kev txhim kho cov txheej txheem qib siab uas tau ua rau kev txhim kho kev kub ceev ntawm kev nce qib cua sib cais tshuab. Piv nrog cryogenic huab cua sib cais, PSA txheej txheem muaj cov cim luv thiab kev ua haujlwm yooj yim, kev ua haujlwm qis, kev siv hneev ntau thiab muaj cov nqi ua lag luam me me thiab muaj kev sib tw ua tub rog. Nws yog kev sib tw ntau dua li cov txheej txheem cryogenic hauv me me thiab nruab nrab (tsawg dua 100 tons \/ hnub, sib npaug ntawm cov pa oxm3 \/ h) cov pa oxmgen uas tsis tas yuav nplua-purity oxygen. Nws yog dav siv nyob rau hauv ntau cov teb xws li hluav taws xob rauv steelmaking, tshuaj tua kab, tshuaj tua kab, kev ua si, ua si, ua si & Lee, 2002).
Ntau xyoo dhau los, kev tshawb fawb kev kawm ntawm kev ua kom muaj pa tawm ntawm cov pa sib cais Txawm hais tias kev tshawb fawb ntawm cov thev naus laus zis pib thaum ntxov hauv Suav teb, nws tau tsim los maj mam ua rau lub sijhawm ntev. Nws tsis yog kom txog thaum xyoo 1990 uas cov superiority ntawm siab viav vias Adsorption Oxygen cov khoom siv cov khoom siv cov khoom siv tau yooj yim. Nyob rau hauv xyoo tsis ntev los no, ntau yam txheej txheem cov txheej txheem tau muab tso rau ib tug ntau lawm tom qab lwm qhov, nqa nyiaj loj rau txhua txoj kev taug kev ntawm lub neej.
