Distillation of Liquid Xenon to Remove Krypton
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high performance distillation system to remove krypton from xenon was constructed, and a purity level of Kr/Xe = ∼ 3 × 10 was achieved. This development is crucial in facilitating high sensitivity low background experiments such as the search for dark matter in the universe.

Metal–organic framework with optimally selective xenon adsorption and separation
Nuclear energy is among the most viable alternatives to our current fossil fuel-based energy economy. The mass deployment of nuclear energy as a low-emissions source requires the reprocessing of used nuclear fuel to recover fissile materials and mitigate radioactive waste. A major concern with reprocessing used nuclear fuel is the release of volatile radionuclides such as xenon and krypton that...
متن کاملSelf Diffusion and Binary Maxwell-Stefan Diffusion in Simple Fluids with the Green-Kubo Method
Self diffusion coefficients and binary Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients were determined by equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with the Green-Kubo method. The study covers five pure fluids: neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and methane and three binary mixtures: argon+krypton, argon+xenon, and krypton+xenon. The fluids are modeled by spherical Lennard-Jones pair-potentials, with paramete...
متن کاملInvestigation of Three-Body Interactions on the Phase Behaviour of Noble Gases
In the following sections we report the results obtained studying the role of threebody interatomic potentials on noble gas coexisting phases. Section 3.1 gives details of the Gibbs ensemble simulations for vapour-liquid coexisting phases of argon, krypton and xenon as pure fluids and of an argon-krypton mixture. In section 3.2 we report the analytic expression of an effective potential which w...
متن کاملEnergy of the quasi-free electron in argon, krypton and xenon
Recent field ionization measurements of various high-n molecular Rydberg states doped into argon, krypton and xenon perturbers are presented as a function of perturber number density up to the density of the triple point liquid. These data are modeled to within ±0.3% of experiment on both critical and noncritical isotherms using a new theoretical treatment that includes: (i) the polarization of...
متن کاملXenon and krypton separation in a chromatographic column packed with granulated nano NaY zeolite
In order to investigate the gas separation ability of a column packed with nanozeolitic material, nano NaY zeolite was synthesized and granulated. These uniform granules packed in a chromatographic column were utilized for separation of Xe and Kr under various operating conditions. With regards to the response peaks obtained from trace injections of Xe and Kr into the column, the first and seco...
