RECOVERY OF RADIOACTIVE NOBLE GASES FROM GASEOUS EFFLUENTS

A process of combating environmental pollution by separating and recovering radioactive noble gases such as xenon and krypton in a substantially pure state from the gaseous effluents of a nuclear power station. In the process, the gaseous effluents are initially dehalogenated and devaporized followe...

Summary:A process of combating environmental pollution by separating and recovering radioactive noble gases such as xenon and krypton in a substantially pure state from the gaseous effluents of a nuclear power station. In the process, the gaseous effluents are initially dehalogenated and devaporized followed, in sequence, by the dehydrogenation and subsequent removal of residual gaseous contaminants from such effluents leaving the rare gases in substantially pure form for recovery.
