Water krypton

The extrapolation of Battino s recommended equations above about 350 K is not recommended. However, for several of the systems, especially helium + water and krypton + water, the extrapolated equation represents the higher temperature data surprisingly well. The extrapolation of Battino s equation for the neon +...

Argon is two and one half times as soluble in water as nitrogen, having about the same solubility as oxygen. Argon is colorless and odorless, both as a gas and liquid. Argon is considered to be a very inert gas and is not known to form true chemical compounds, as do krypton, xenon, and radon.

To prevent such release, off gases are treated in Charcoal Delay Systems, which delay the release of xenon and krypton, and other radioactive gases, such as iodine and methyl iodide, until sufficient time has elapsed for the short-Hved radioactivity to decay. The delay time is increased by increasing the mass of adsorbent and by lowering the temperature and humidity for a boiling water reactor (BWR), a typical system containing 211 of activated carbon operated at 255 K, at 500 K dewpoint, and 101 kPa (15 psia) would provide about 42 days holdup for xenon and 1.8 days holdup for krypton (88). Humidity reduction is typically provided by a combination of a cooler-condenser and a molecular sieve adsorbent bed. 

For the gas hydrates it is not possible to make an entirely unambiguous comparison of the observed heat of hydrate formation from ice (or water) and the gaseous solute with the calculated energy of binding of the solute in the ft lattice, because AH = Hfi—Ha is not known. If one assumes AH = 0, it is found that the hydrates of krypton, xenon, methane, and ethane have heats of formation which agree within the experimental error with the energies calculated from Eq. 39 for details the reader is referred to ref. 30. 

Taylor and Jarman [1] observed SL spectra in the range of 280-740 nm from 2 M NaCl solutions saturated with argon, krypton and xenon sonicated at frequencies of 16 and 500 kHz. The spectra showed a continuum background with bands at about 310 nm and a peak of sodium D line, which exhibited appreciable asymmetric broadening, as shown in Fig. 13.2. The bands around 310 nm result from the A2L+ — X2n transition of OH radicals. The OH bands are quenched in salt solutions compared with those in water, which suggests the energy transfer reaction... 

The blue satellite peak associated with resonance line of rubidium (Rb) saturated with a noble gas was closely examined by Lepoint-Mullie et al. [10] They observed SL from RbCl aqueous solution and from a 1-octanol solution of rubidium 1-octanolate saturated with argon or krypton at a frequency of 20 kHz. Figure 13.4 shows the comparison of the SL spectra of the satellite peaks of Rb-Ar and Rb-Kr in water (Fig. 13.4b) and in 1-octanol (Fig. 13.4c) with the gas-phase fluorescence spectra (Fig. 13.4a) associated with the B —> X transition of Rb-Ar and Rb-Kr van der Waals molecules. The positions of the blue satellite peaks obtained in SL experiments, as indicated by arrows, exactly correspond to those obtained in the gas-phase fluorescence experiments. Lepoint-Mullie et al. attributed the blue satellites to B — X transitions of alkali-metal/rare-gas van der Waals species, which suggested that alkali-metal atom emission occurs inside cavitating bubbles. They estimated the intracavity relative density to be 18 from the shift of the resonance line by a similar procedure to that adopted by Sehgal et al. [14],... 

Radon difluoride is quantitatively reduced to elemental radon by water in a reaction which is analogous to the reactions of krypton difluoride and xenon difluoride with water. Complex salts of radon also hydrolyze in this fashion.

Jensen and Hvitved-Jacobsen (1991) developed a direct method for the determination of the air-water oxygen transfer coefficient in gravity sewers. This method is based on the use of krypton-85 for the air-water mass transfer and tritium for dispersion followed by a dual counting technique with a liquid scintillation counter (Tsivoglou et al 1965,1968 Tsivoglou andNeal, 1976). A constant ratio between the air-water mass transfer coefficients for dissolved oxygen and krypton-85 makes it possible to determine reaeration by a direct method. Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, is another example of an inert substance that has been used as a tracer for reaeration measurements in sewers (Huisman et al., 1999).
