Description

System and method for separating xenon-krypton gas mixture by using hydrate method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical application field of hydrates, and relates to a system and a method for separating xenon-krypton mixed gas by using a hydrate method.
Background
The nuclear energy has the characteristics of no emission, high energy density and the like, and becomes a potential new energy source for replacing fossil fuels. However, the highly radioactive waste gases generated during nuclear energy utilization must be recovered from the nuclear waste and sealed into the pressure vessel until the gases are no longer radioactive. In the radioactive exhaust gas, the volume ratio of xenon (Xe) to krypton (Kr) is 91:9, and the radioactive element85Kr has a half-life of up to 10.8 years,127xe has a relatively short half-life (36.3 days), and the above-mentioned radioactive elements are liable to cause air pollution and harm to human health, and therefore need to be recovered from waste materials. Furthermore, xenon (Xe) is an important rare resource and is widely used in the research fields of semiconductors, lasers, medical devices, and the like. Currently the main source of xenon is its capture from air, which has a concentration of 0.09ppm in air. The industrially mature method is to obtain high-purity xenon and krypton (Kr) from air by low-temperature distillation, and after air is liquefied, each product is obtained in a distillation tower at different temperatures, and finally, xenon-krypton mixed gas (xenon/krypton: 20/80, v/v) is obtained. If xenon can be separated from krypton from nuclear industrial waste gas, the waste gas treatment amount is reduced, and the xenon source can be increased, so that the xenon yield is improved.
At present, the separation method of xenon krypton mainly comprises the following steps: low-temperature distillation and solid adsorption separation. The principle of low-temperature distillation is to separate components in a rectifying tower by utilizing different boiling points of xenon and krypton (xenon: -108.12 ℃ and krypton: -153.22 ℃) through multiple processes of partial condensation and partial evaporation. The method has great technical difficulty and extremely strict requirements on production operation procedures. The equipment needs to withstand high pressure and low temperature and has huge energy consumption. The solid adsorption separation method utilizes the selective adsorption property of the adsorbent to realize the separation or purification of gas components. The method has low energy consumption and high separation efficiency, but has expensive preparation cost and is not suitable for large-scale commercial production.
The hydrate method is a novel gas separation technology. The principle is that different gases are utilized to form different phase equilibrium conditions and different degrees of difficulty of hydrates, the components which are easy to form the hydrates in the mixed gas are preferentially combined with water to form the hydrates, and gas molecules are wrapped in a cage-shaped structure formed by water molecules, so that the effective separation of the mixed gas is realized. Under the temperature condition of 2 ℃, the corresponding phase equilibrium pressures of the xenon hydrate and the krypton hydrate are respectively 0.17 MPa and 1.82 MPa, and the huge phase equilibrium difference provides a theoretical basis for separating the xenon and the krypton by a hydrate method.
