Replacement of oxygen by nitrogen in industrial plant for extracting xenon from air-separation streams

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Experiments are reported for an industrial plant type X-0.06 for producing xenon-nitrogen mixtures in order to examine the adsorption replacement of hazardous oxygen by nitrogen. The equation previously used for the replacement has been shown to be inapplicable, particularly for low residual oxygen concentrations (less than 5% O2). An analytic formula is proposed for fitting the experimental data, particularly for low residual oxygen concentrations. Safe plant operation is considered, and practical recommendations are made on raising the safety.
