Krypton

Ambient air is the only practical source of krypton and xenon. Krypton-xenon concentrate is received at large-scale air separation units as a byproduct of oxygen and nitrogen production. Purification of noble gases out of concentrate is a multi-step process. Enrichment, separation into components, and purification of krypton and xenon are performed in consecutive stages on several production units comprising a unified technological chain.

Low heat conductivity and high density are unique thermodynamic properties of krypton and xenon.
