METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PURIFYING A NOBLE GAS CONTAINING A HALOGEN COMPOUND

In a method of recovering a noble gas such as xenon from a fluid stream (16) comprising a fluorine-containing component, such as a hydrofluorocarbon, the fluid stream is exposed to heated titanium (22), which reacts with the fluorocarbon to form stable compounds, such as titanium fluoride, and titan...

Zusammenfassung:In a method of recovering a noble gas such as xenon from a fluid stream (16) comprising a fluorine-containing component, such as a hydrofluorocarbon, the fluid stream is exposed to heated titanium (22), which reacts with the fluorocarbon to form stable compounds, such as titanium fluoride, and titanium carbide. Any hydrogen generated by the reaction is subsequently converted into H
