The air is first filtered. This is to remove any dust particles or any other particles. Next the air is liquefied - compressed down to its liquid form. To remove carbon dioxide the air is filtered through sodium hydroxide. Because different gases boil at different temperatures the liquid air is heated. The first gas to be separated from this liquid air is nitrogen (at -1960c). Next Argon comes out (at -1890c). Although this doesn't get rid of all the other tiny bits of gas in the oxygen left over, this is the way to separate the most important gases in the air we breathe.
