Development and creation of an efficient Khrom-3 unit for preparing krypton-xenon mixtures

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Questions are considered for creating industrial technology for processing a primary krypton concentrate of krypton and xenon in the form of a krypton-xenon mixture. New progressive engineering solutions, protected by patents, are used in a Khrom-3 unit. The device does not contain a compression unit. The separation factor for the krypton-xenon mixture in Khrom-3 units is greater than 0.99.
