Production of High-Purity Krypton and Xenon. Purification from Trace Impurities

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

The migration pathways of trace chemical impurities into the atmosphere are studied. The properties of binary mixtures formed by air components are analyzed. Methods for purifying the target gases from these substances taking into account the energy consumption for their implementation are investigated. Published technical data from pilot industrial plants are presented.
