You cool it and the different components, oxygen, nitrogen, CO2, argon, etc.... all condense/liquify at different temperatures.

Fractional distillation.
First, you have to liquify air by reducing the temperature to about -200 degrees Celsius.
At -196 degrees, nitrogen will vaporise first, followed by oxygen at -183 degrees Celsius.

Air is separated by fractional distillation of liquified air. You let each gas out at its own boiling point. That is how the inert gases were found.

A Backwards method of the common fractional distillation method used to seperate mixed liquids.
ie: cool the gases to just below the individual boiling points and let the liquid settle and collect it at each stage.

separate the gasses in air?? chill it down to the specific temperature that each gas condenses at and collect each one separately. needs to be very cold though

Air itself it's 'separated', It contains roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.97% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases, in addition to water vapor.

fractional distiallation at low temps....

electrical emissions can do that.
