Applications of Noble Gases

Helium

Helium is used as a component of breathing gases due to its low solubility in fluids or lipids. This is important because other gases are absorbed by the blood and body tissues when under pressure during scuba diving. Because of its reduced solubility, little helium is taken into cell membranes; when it replaces part of the breathing mixture, helium causes a decrease in the narcotic effect of the gas at far depths. The reduced amount of dissolved gas in the body means fewer gas bubbles form, decreasing the pressure of the ascent. Helium and Argon are used to shield welding arcs and the surrounding base metal from the atmosphere.

Helium is used in very low temperature cryogenics, particularly for maintaining superconductors (useful for creating strong magnetic fields) at a very low temperatures. Helium is also the most common carrier gas in gas chromatography.

Neon

Neon has many common and familiar applications: neon lights, fog lights, TV cine-scopes, lasers, voltage detectors, luminous warnings, and advertising signs. The most popular application of neon is the neon tubing used in advertising and elaborate decorations. These tubes are filled with neon and helium or argon under low pressure and submitted to electrical discharges. The color of emitted light is depends on the composition of the gaseous mixture and on the color of the glass of the tube. Pure Neon within a colorless tube absorbs red light and reflects blue light, as shown in the figure below. This reflected light is known as fluorescent light.

Argon

Argon has a large number of applications in electronics, lighting, glass, and metal fabrications. Argon is used in electronics to provide a protective heat transfer medium for ultra-pure silicon crystal semiconductors and for growing germanium. Argon can also fill fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs, creating the blue light found in "neon lamps." By utilizing argon's low thermal conductivity, window manufacturers provide a gas barrier needed to produce double-pane insulated windows. This insulation barrier improves the windows' energy efficiencies. Argon also creates an inert gas shield during welding, flushes out melted metals to eliminate porosity in casting, and provides an oxygen- and nitrogen-free environment for annealing and rolling metals and alloys.

Krypton

Similarly to argon, krypton can be found in energy efficient windows. Because of its superior thermal efficiency, krypton is sometimes chosen over argon for insulation. It is estimated that 30% of energy efficient windows sold in Germany and England are filled with krypton; approximately 1.8 liters of krypton are used in these countries. Krypton is also found in fuel sources, lasers and headlights. In lasers, krypton functions as a control for a desired optic wavelength. It is usually mixed with a halogen (most likely fluorine) to produce excimer lasers. Halogen sealed beam headlights containing krypton produce up to double the light output of standard headlights. In addition, Krypton is used for high performance light bulbs, which have higher color temperatures and efficiency because the krypton reduces the rate of evaporation of the filament.

Xenon

Xenon has various applications in incandescent lighting, x-ray development, plasma display panels (PDPs), and more. Incandescent lighting uses xenon because less energy can be used to obtain the same light output as a normal incandescent lamp. Xenon has also made it possible to obtain better x-rays with reduced amounts of radiation. When mixed with oxygen, it can enhance the contrast in CT imaging. These applications have had great impact on the health care industries. Plasma display panels (PDPs) using xenon as one of the fill gases may one day replace the large picture tubes in television and computer screens.

Nuclear fission products may include several radioactive isotopes of xenon, which absorb neutrons in nuclear reactor cores. The formation and elimination of radioactive xenon decay products are factors in nuclear reactor control.

Radon

Radon is reported as the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking. However, it also has beneficial applications in radiotherapy, arthritis treatment, and bathing. In radiotherapy, radon has been used in implantable seeds, made of glass or gold, primarily used to treat cancers. It has been said that exposure to radon mitigates auto-immune diseases such as arthritis. Some arthritis sufferers have sought limited exposure to radioactive mine water and radon to relieve their pain. "Radon Spas" such as Bad Gastern in Austria and Onsen in Japan offer a therapy in which people sit for minutes to hours in a high-radon atmosphere, believing that low doses of radiation will boost up their energy.
