Krypton and high purity xenon, Burning out, Catalyst, Rectification, Adsorption, Purification of fluorine-containing air componentsAbstract
The rare gases krypton and xenon are valuable gas products. The main industrial source of rare gases is atmospheric air. The presented work examines the features of rectification and adsorption-distillation technologies for the production of krypton and xenon. In the process of producing high-purity inert gases, together with Kr and Xe, air components similar in properties to them are enriched. Methods for purifying intermediate products and pure inert gases from microimpurities have been studied. Particular attention is paid to the purification of krypton and xenon from perfluorides
