Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Experimental data on radon entrapment in the adsorbers of the thorough-purification unit of the krypton– xenon mixture producing plant KhROM-3 are reported. The possibility of monitoring radon content in the atmospheric air in the region of operation of this plant is shown. The radon concentration at two facilities in Ukraine is found to differ significantly. Calculations show that it is possible to remove radon from the primary krypton concentrate (PKC) at the stage of its purification from the combustion products, which will allow one to enhance the effectiveness of radiation safety at the krypton–xenon mixture producing plant. The data derived can be applied to other plants of this type that have an adsorption purification unit.
