Today, Let us introduce the Production and Application of Krypton Gas.

Krypton is a colorless, odorless, tasteless inert gas that is about twice as heavy as air. It is not active and does not burn or help to burn. The amount of krypton gas in the air is very small, only 1.14ml per 1m3 of air.

At present, there are several main methods of producing krypton gas:

1. Extraction of krypton from synthetic ammonia tail gas Extraction process of argon by the by-product of krypton and xenon mixture, and then through rectification, washing, deoxygenation, adsorption, desorption can produce 99% krypton gas.

2. The air separation method, from the air separation device to extract krypton, xenon mixture. By extracting poor krypton, removing hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide, and separating, 99.99% pure krypton was obtained.

3. From the nuclear reactor fission gas extraction of krypton in the comprehensive utilization of nuclear reactor pyrolysis exhaust gas radioactive Kr85.

4. The industrial realization of freon solvent absorption method.

5. Industrial use of fractionated liquid air.

Industrial applications of krypton gas

Krypton gas has important applications in electric light sources, it can fill advanced electronic tubes, continuous ultraviolet lamps for laboratory use. Krypton lamp not only saves electricity, long life, high luminous rate, small size, it is also an important light source in the mine. Not only that, krypton gas can be made into atomic lamps that do not require electricity. Due to the very high transmission rate of krypton gas lamp, it can also be used as a light for off-road combat vehicles in the field, and aircraft runway lights. Krypton gas is also commonly used in high pressure mercury lamp, sodium lamp, flash lamp, voltage tube and so on.

Krypton gas is also widely used in medical and scientific research. The radioactive isotope of krypton can be used as a tracer for medical applications. Krypton gas can be used in gas lasers and other ion streams, it can also be used to fill ionization chambers to measure height rays, and as a shading material for X-ray work.
