Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the helium enrichment recovery method on the market is mainly the pressure swing adsorption method, but the pressure swing adsorption method has the following disadvantages: the one-time investment is huge, and the land occupation requirement is large; multi-stage purification is required, so the system is complicated and the yield is low; adsorption The amount of agent used is large, there are many types, and the life cycle is short; moreover, pressure swing adsorption cannot enrich the helium to a concentration above 99.999%, which cannot meet the needs of many semiconductor factories and optical fiber factories.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for enriching and purifying high-purity helium, and belongs to the related technical fields of gas recovery, circular economy and the like. Background technique [0002] Helium is an inert gas, which belongs to small atomic substances, has good diffusivity and thermal properties, and its content in the air is extremely small, accounting for 5.26x10 of the volume -6 , helium is an accompanying product of oil and gas, but the helium content in China's oil and gas fields is very low, less than 0.1%. China is a helium-poor country. my country's industrial helium mainly relies on imports. Helium is a precious resource. It is expected to be exhausted after 25-30 years. [0003] my country's industrial helium is mainly imported from the United States. At present, the supply of helium resources has been tight, and the price of helium has been rising. When the supply is the most tense, the phenomenon of price and no stock often...
