    摘要: A method for recovering krypton and xenon from air comprises (a) separating an air feed stream into oxygen-enriched and nitrogen-enriched product streams; (b) reacting the oxygen-rich product stream with a hydrocarbon feed in a synthesis gas generation process to yield a synthesis gas stream comprising hydrogen, carbon oxides, krypton, and xenon, which synthesis gas stream contains essentially no oxygen; (c) introducing the synthesis gas stream into a synthesis gas conversion process and converting the synthesis gas stream into a liquid synthesis product stream and an unreacted synthesis gas stream; (d) recycling at least a portion of the unreacted synthesis gas stream to the synthesis gas generation process; (e) reducing the pressure of the liquid synthesis product stream to yield a two-phase reduced-pressure product stream, and separating the two-phase reduced-pressure product stream into a final liquid synthesis product stream and a gas stream enriched in krypton and xenon; and (f) separating the gas stream enriched in krypton and xenon into a purge gas stream and a gas product stream further enriched in krypton and xenon.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for extracting xenon and eventually also krypton from a liquid oxygen (LOX) charge, as it accrues in a cryogenic air separation system (LZA) during a rectification of the air, mostly as a bottom product of a low-pressure, column, namely with xenon (Xe), krypton (Kr) and hydrocarbons (CxHy) in a small concentration and approximately 99 mol % oxygen (O2). According to the inventive method, the LOX charge is fed to a first column, the oxygen of the LOX charge is extensively removed by stripping with an inert gas, and is extracted in the top gas, whereas the inert gas is withdrawn in the form of a liquid from the bottom of the first column with little O2 and nearly the total mass of CxHy, Kr, Xe. According to the invention, the liquid discharge is fed to a second column without prior catalytic and/or adsorptive removal of CxHy. A Kr fraction is extracted as top gas of the second column, and an Xe fraction is withdrawn from the bottom of the second column. The method can be used in a device for extracting Xe and/or Kr in an air separation system (LZA). The device can be arranged in a transportable container.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for separating gases having different partial pressures at a given temperature includes introducing a multi-component gas mixture into a chamber, reducing the temperature therein to solidify and liquefy all components. At least one component remains liquid which is evaporated, thereby separating such component from the solidified components which may then be liquefied and recovered. The process is especially useful in recovering radioactive krypton and xenon from the off gas streams of nuclear processes such as nuclear fuel reprocessing.

    摘要: Xenon is separated from a mixture of xenon and krypton by extractive distillation using carbon tetrafluoride as the partitioning agent. Krypton is flushed out of the distillation column with CF.sub.4 in the gaseous overhead stream while purified xenon is recovered from the liquid bottoms. The distillation is conducted at about atmospheric pressure or at subatmospheric pressure.
