- Summary
- In the AKUT method the aerosols are separated by electric and absolute filters. The waste gas is then burned with measured quantities of oxygen before it is liquified at 65-70 atm. This liquefied waste gas is fed into a rectification column, and a krypton-rich fraction containing 10- 20% by volume of krypton is drawn off at the top of the column. Tritium and iodlne are then adsorbed on suitable materials. (LK)
