Gas introduction

xenon, chemical symbol Xe, atomic number 54, is a noble gas, one of the group 0 elements in the periodic table. Colorless, odorless, tasteless, chemical properties are not active. It is present in the air (about 0.0087mL of xenon per 100L of air) and also in the gases of hot springs. It is separated from liquid air with krypton.

Xenon has a very high luminous intensity and is used in lighting technology to fill photocells, flashbulbs and xenon high-pressure lamps. In addition, xenon is also used in deep anesthetics, medical ultraviolet light, lasers, welding, refractory metal cutting, standard gas, special mixture, etc.

Xenon is a non-corrosive gas, and itself non-toxic, after human inhalation to discharge in its original form, but at high concentrations there is asphyxiation. Xenon is anesthetic, and its mixture with oxygen is an anesthetic to the human body.
